From Golders Green Hippodrome, London, October 27th 1977. Presenter Pete Drummond explains that Alex Harvey had announced his retirement from performing just days before the scheduled recording, so TV listings included his band in the title, even though they did not appear in the show. Instead, the broadcast program included a set from AC/DC, including Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be, Let There Be Rock and I'm A Rocker.
