Indeed! One of my biggest regrets in life was not seeing that live on telly at the time. I was only 11 and not allowed to stay up that late (I would however often be under the covers with earphone listening to John Peel and hoping that the sound of the tape going round and round when recording Peel Sessions would not be heard). My friend who was a year and half my senior did see it and I got an in depth description of the performance the following day in school. However, to give him justice, he deserved it because I was the one who managed to get Metal Box for Christmas, whilst he missed that and got the Second Issue instead ...
Oh those days when TV was live and there were no video recorders or YouTube etc!
