Phil Manzanera, [Brian] Eno, Bill MacCormick, Francis Monkman, Simon Phillips, Lloyd Watson, 801: 801 Live (1975)

There were two Canadian pressing so this LP, which I find curious. The first was on Editions EG and the second was on Polydor. I have the latter. The LP recorded in the Queen Elizabeth Hall on September 3rd, 1976. It's an odd collection of tunes, ranging from a few Brian Eno originals - Baby's on Fire, Sombre Reptiles, Third Uncle - mixed in with a Beatles cover, a Kinks tune, and some originals, etc. It's a very interesting record, to say the least. I give it five stars. Perhaps the only thing that could have made the record was better would have been Fripp.
