Ok so this isn't quite Harry Nilsson In Concert - yes, he's playing live but there's no audience. The audience you see have been edited in from other shows in the series. Why? Harry didn't do live concerts and so it makes this UK TV show first broadcast on New Years Day 1972 even more special. I love the version of "Life Line" in 'The Point' but the rendition here is truly heartbreaking and is my favourite Nilsson performance.

This show was recorded in 1971 at the BBC Television Theatre (now the Shepherd's Bush Empire). It is interesting as it shows Harry in the middle of the two main phases of his career - the early whimsical songs ('67-'71) followed by the later harder-edged period ('71 onwards).

There are songs here from Harry's albums to date ('Without Her' and '1941' are from 'Pandemonium Shadow Show', 'Mr Richland's Favourite Song' and 'One' are from 'Aerial Ballet', 'Life Line', 'Think About Your Troubles' and 'Are You Sleeping?' are from 'The Point', 'Gotta Get Up' and 'Coconut' are from 'Nilsson Schmilsson'.) 'Joy' appears here in an early version - it wouldn't be recorded until the following year's 'Son Of Schmilsson' - and whilst not officially released at the time, a version of 'Walk Right Back' has appeared on the excellent Nilsson RCA box set (which you must buy immediately if you don't already own it).
