Here & Now ‎– All Over The Show (LP)

The live album All Over The Show was recorded in Liverpool, Norwich and London during the August '79 free tour. They recorded the music on a sixteen-track mobile recording studio. Steve Hillage gave some advices and maybe therefore the recordings sound rather strong. For the live shows the band added guitarist Bernie Elliot to the line-up. It's easy to hear that the musicians wanted to improvise because 70s Youth from their first album sounds livelier and with a different arrangement. Also during Jam they gave a loose to improvising.

Just like on Give And Take we hear a fine mixture of punk, space rock, progressive rock, underground and hippy music. Fortunately the so-called Choir Of Angels is absent on this release. They 'belonged' to the drummer on Give And Take, s o when he left the band they went along with him.

The best songs on this release are without doubt the progressive rock influenced Surgeon's Knife with a lot of great MiniMoog-parts, and the ballad Only Way.
