Progressive Rock took many forms in the mid-1970’s. Some bands, like Be Bop Deluxe, bridged the gap between Progressive Rock and the New Wave that began later in the 70’s. Bill Nelson is a phenomenal guitar player and really shines in the solo break during this song.
I have a live double LP and a CD of Be Bop Deluxe called "Live in the Air Age". It’s an incredible live performance by the band and marked the height of their popularity. The double LP I have has one white vinyl disk included. I suppose that makes it a collectors item. It’s in perfect condition.
This video, recorded in 1975, is just OK and the sound is only slightly better. I believe the song "Sister Seagull" was a minor hit for them and was certainly one of the high points of their concerts.
