It was broadcast on 19 April, and most of that show appears on the second disc of Show-Biz Blues (though it had been bootlegged before).

Thanks Sharksfan. Of course! Funny I hadn't noticed that myself going through Hjorts book. Oh well! Anyway I love that second disc at the moment, especially this particular version of Underway (as part of Rattlesnake Shake) and Green Manalishi. Twist and Shout is like an explosion of pure desperation. Fantastic! It's hard to believe that this group was actually breaking up at the time. It must be "the final convulsions" - as we say in danish.

Unfortunately "The Vaudeville Years" is impossible to get at the moment (on Amazon), but I am looking forward to hearing that as well.
