Spare a thought for Geoff Dyer, writer and noted Peter Hammill fan. He's giving a lecture at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the same evening that PH is playing the Festival Hall next door. With luck he'll be able to wrap up the lecture early doors and make it over to the RFH in time for the encores.

Whoops, I misspelled Jim Christopulos' name in my last post, apologies.
And I should also mention Michael Boyce, who shot the original footage in 76.
Once again, bravo all round!

Ok, here's something fairly extraordinary. Recently found 8mm footage has been married up with audio and it's now possible to see/hear 12 mins of VdGG at Massey Hall Toronto '76. Respect to Jim Christopolus for doing this.
