HW: live material

[eddie jobson]

To be honest as much as I love it when live shows are released like Chicago 
'74 a couple of years back, I have simply hundreds of official and 
non-official audio recordings of the band. What I would love to see released 
is some earlier video footage, but goign on the recent BBC documentary there 
obviously isn't a lot around from the 70's. I would love to see the 
Hawklords stuff that was shown on the Top Ten programmes a few years back, 
if the band could get that released that would make my day.
