"This is a Nederlandse (Dutch) budget reissue of GTR on King Biscuit Flower Hour. This was recorded at Wiltshire Theatre in LA. Most of their sole studio album, as well as Yes, Genesis, and solo chestnuts, are performed. One highlight is the ballad "Prizefighters", which the group never did in the studio, but Steve Hackett recorded with Bonnie Tyler and Chris Thompson (ex-Manfred Mann). Hackett left shortly after the tour, unhappy with the management and financial situation. An abandoned second album is "out there".
This group could have gone farther, but the honeymoon was over. Max Bacon would leave the business and now owns a pub in his native northern England. Steve Howe is split between Yes and Asia. Steve Hackett still has his solo career. I don't know about the others, though."
