One of the highlights of Phil Manzanera's recording career and one of the best live rock albums ever.
In 1976, while Roxy Music had temporarily disbanded, 801 got together as a temporary project. The original sextet included Manzanera, Eno, Bill MacCormick, Francis Monkman, Simon Phillips and Lloyd Watson, and after a warm up show in Cromer in Norfolk, that line-up played just two gigs - at the Reading Festival (with John Peel acclaiming them "the musical high point of the weekend") and at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. This memorable concert was subsequently released as '801 Live.'
