25 minutes
John does a good job for a small invited studio audience; music interlaced with mini-interviews.

Robert Cunningham was present on the occasion and remembers:
"The show was recorded in the old STV studios in Cowcaddens, Glasgow. They had to re-record the last song for some technical reason. It was a short set, with Carol Laula as warm-up and interviewer. I remember John saying 'I believe the expression is break a leg'."

Line-up
Spencer Cozens - keyboards
Jim Lampi - chapman stick
Alan Thomson - bass
Arran Ahmun - drums.
