Part of TP's tour to the UK promoting the "Damn The Torpedoes" album.
Great sounding and as good as it gets.
Rock Goes To College was a BBC series that ran between 1978 and 1981 on British television. A variety of up-coming rock oriented bands were showcased live from small venues and broadcast simultaneously on television and radio during a 40-50 minute live performance.
Concert Venues:
The venues were small University, Polytechnic or College halls holding a few thousand persons which gave a more intimate atmosphere than larger venues and often tickets were given to the Students' Union to distribute for free (to ensure that the concert halls were full) - effectively an invited audience. The bands chosen were also bands which did not have a mainstream following at that time although many went on to be very successful.
A BBC DJ would also be present to introduce the band for the television audience.
Innovation:
The original broadcasts were transmitted on television as well as Sight and Sound in Concert; a BBC initiative to provide simultaneous pictures on BBC2 and stereo radio broadcasts on BBC Radio 1 (as stereo television broadcasts and receivers did not exist at the time). It allowed rock enthusiasts to enjoy the event with an improved sound quality.
Lineage:
BBC Radio 2 FM broadcast > Phillips CD Recorder > WAV > EAC > WAV> FLAC

Another corking journey down memory lane. I recall this series of special concerts and some have been re-shown on sat TV BBC 3 or whatnot. Notable was the Siouxsie and The Banshees which I put up bits of on YT and Veoh. Duno if there's an audio boot of that. Another corker was George Thorogood.
Sadly these days the Beeb is pursuing other things and its comparable live concert output is limited to festervals and seldom do we get full concerts like this for shame!
Cheers

Strange show--"Shadow of A Doubt" is joined in progress, yet the band isn't offically introduced until three (?) numbers in.
Performance is sterling, but sound is unfortunately flat.
