listen

Note: this may be the live debut of "Hymn 43" (see below), a song they didn't play in concert for very long. This show has been made into a boot called "It's Only Me" 
A Thought: the album Aqualung had not been released in the USA at the time of this concert. 
It was released on May 3. The band played 6 songs (60 minutes) from their as-yet-unreleased LP, 
music the audience didn't know. They played only 2 songs (less than 20 minutes) of familiar material. And they would do it again 2 years later with A Passion Play.
