Starry Eyed & Laughing - Live At Rockpalast 1976

This appearance on the legendary German WDR TV show Rockpalast remains the only video recorded performance ever of Starry Eyed and Laughing. Songs performed in this set that have never been previously heard or recorded are Iain Whitmore's 'Even The Rain' and 'Faith, Hope & Charity' and Tony Poole's 'You Always Lose In The End', together with their versions of Dylan's 'Mr. Tambourine Man' and Stephen Foster's 'Oh Susannah', and this box set is currently the only place that the band's versions of these songs can be heard. Starry Eyed and Laughing would go on in 1976 to record and release two singles produced by Flo & Eddie, but the DVD of this unique live performance on Rockpalast in this box set is the most memorable and valuable - and only visual - record of them at the peak of their existence. The bonus CD in this package includes for comparison the studio recordings of those songs performed in the live set that were actually released on the band's two albums: 'Starry Eyed & Laughing' and 'Thought Talk', together with recordings of two songs never released at the time: Tony Poole's 'Jet Plane Rider' and 'Dancing Slow' that first saw the light of day in the archival Aurora release 'Forever Young' in 2014.
