Note by Phil Miller
Thanks to Joerg Reinicke for this recording of Delivery from 3rd December 1970 and probably recorded at the BBC Paris Theatre.
This is a fascinating glimpse of Phil’s early blues based stylings. He sounds almost Claptonesque in places and I’m pretty certain he is playing his Gibson SG special. I’m not certain of the amp. I think Phil owned a Vox AC30 around this time but this sounds like it could have been a Hi-Watt with 4 x 12 cab. If anyone knows for sure we would be delighted to hear from you. 
All in all, This is a very nice snapshot of the early progressive roots when psychedelia was beginning to subvert traditional blue structures. There’s also more than a taste of Haight-Ashbury here.
Listen to how fresh this sounds forty eight years on and how radical Phil was at his young age. Never playing stock licks and always a unique and individual viewpoint regardless of context. Pip is also revealed as highly developed. His crisp but fierce poly-rhythmic approach is unmistakable to anyone familiar with his later work. It just goes to show how musicians of this intrepid ilk may progress but there is an essential core to their spirit and attitude that is as solid as their bone structure. Listening back now you can hear how it was the sheer attitude and openness of the musicians that sowed the seeds for what was to come.

Thanks to Joerg Reinicke for this recording of Hatfield and the North at Surrey University in Guildford on the 9th of November 1974.

This is a fairly ambient room mic recording, a spirited and lively performance but a little bass light. Some incredible blowing and re-arrangements here proving how fluid The Hatfields could be live.

Dave Stewart – keyboards
Phil Miller – guitar
Richard Sinclair – bass, vocals
Pip Pyle – drums

Note: The opening acts were Kevin Coyne & Coxhill / Miller

I just picked up this Hillage cd at a local record shop while I was meeting a college buddy who was dropping his son off at university and no it wasn't on the back of a turnip truck. Don't we get old fast. So from college days and record shops to youse guys.
SO the lineage goes silver back & EAV & traders little helper & upload & you...
It's a nice Hillage show,albeit short, but it's live Hillage!!! It sounds like the recording is from the mixing desk as there is separation and the sound moves around so stereo.Oh the Hillage yelling at people to stop fighting is in the Solar Music Suite..

Track list:
1.Hurdy Gurdy Man 6.46
2.Hurdy Gurdy Glissando 12.03
3.Solar Music Suite 19.37
4.All Too Much 9.19

Personnel:
Steve Hillage ( guitar )
Clive Bunker (drums)
Colin Bass (bass)
Christian Boule (guitar)
Phil Hodges (keyboards)
Basil Brooks (synthesiser)
Miquette Giraudy (synthesiser, vocals)

I found the below on a site called "eFestivals.co.uk"...

"A real biggie, and the last concert held in the park for many years. Supposedly 200,000 turned up, mostly to see Queen, whose stock had been rising rapidly , they were well on the way to becoming superstars. Apparently Richard Branson of Virgin records was instrumental in organising the show although the headliners were restricted to an 80 min set due to a curfew. Police threatened to bang up Freddie in the cells if the band came back on after the allotted tiem, thus no encores."

Jeremy Smith writes

This was a really great day out and well organised.

I don't remember much about the music except Supercharge - they were pretty bland and unfunny
Kiki Dee - she had just had this hit with Elton John and she played it but I don't remember much else.
Steve Hillage - I was really into him at the time and thought he played really well. It would have been most of the hippy stuff from fish rising. Queen - OK can't remember much - they were not as good as when I first saw then in 72/73 when they were just starting - I'm sure we had a good sing along.
Anyway one bit I do remember well was that there was a fight during Steve Hillage. He stopped playing and made some speech about how people should be peaceful etc and use positive energies or some hippie bullshit. Of course this didn't work so he yelled out - really loudly - STOP FUCKING
FIGHTING. Jeremy

Van Der Graaf Generator ‎– BBC In Concert - 23rd September 1971




VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR
BBC In Concert
23 September 1971
(broadcast 5 October 1971)

Track List:
1. Man-Erg
2. W
3. Killer
4. Theme One
5. Dambusters March
 
Source: The first 3 tracks are taken from an original radio show LP even if they may have been recorded onto tape first, as suggested by the sound quality features, so the lineage could be: original radio show LP>tape>cd. The last 2 tracks come clearly from an off-radio broadcast recording and are obviously not as good as the first 3 but stll very good.
Lineage: 1-3 'VdGG On The Air' (shn files) ; 4-5 Pilgrimage 13 (remastered by calayx1)

Editing Information:
- Original source of P13 tracks was 'Radio & TV/1968-1977' CDr
- Goldwave 5.10 pop/click function to remove some clicks.
- Boosted volume in both channels (more so in LH) on tracks 1-3 to bring volume up to levels on 4-5 and patched in applause at the end of Man-Erg
- Removed silence at end of OTA tracks with cross-fades
