This concert was probably the single most important gig that Barclay James Harvest have ever done, so it was natural to produce a live album.

Barclay James Harvest was, for many years, one of the most hard luck outfits in progressive rock. A quartet of solid rock musicians John Lees, guitar, vocals; Les Holroyd, bass, vocals; Stuart "Wooly" Wolstenholme, keyboards, vocals; and Mel Pritchard, drums with a knack for writing hook-laden songs built on pretty melodies, they harmonized like the Beatles and wrote extended songs with more of a beat than the Moody Blues. Later in 1973, the band signed with Polydor, and their fortunes began turning around, though only very gradually. Their first album for the new label, Everyone Is Everybody Else, seemed promising: it was a more powerful and coherent work than the group had ever released for EMI, with Lees' guitar dominating on songs like "Paper Wings" and "For No On.
Barclay james harvest were at the height of their powers when this album was made. Some of their best efforts together live and at the berlin wall. They seemed to effortlessly reproduce their studio music on to the live medium to great effect. Class album from a class band. With ELP, one of the first arena supergroups and they have the power ballads to pull it off. Child of the universe, timeless classic.
In grateful and sincere recognition of that fact, Barclay James Harvest did indeed play a live show on the steps of the Reichstag, no less, on August 30, 1980 - and recorded this historical event (why historical? no idea) on audio and video for as much posterity as will be ready to stand the band. Consequently, the biggest problem with this third BJH live album in less than ten years must have been the setlist
Except on the latter, where the keyboards rule, John Lees' and Colin Browne's guitars are the most prominent component of the group's sound, and it's easy to see why this album, covering so many bases so well, took British audiences by storm - the Moody Blues in their post-psychedelic era have wanted to make a live record this. tight and bracing for ages. And the CD is even better than the LP. Track Listing. Barclay James Harvest.
