Although they edited out some songs on this 1977 show, unfortunately including Boston's More Than A Feeling video to get the chop, I'm pleased they kept in the ELO video, and also my favourite song on the show They Shoot Horses Don't They by Racing Cars. The song sort of lulls you into a sense of warmth and sleepiness which works well at the end of a long day.
