A bit last minute but a little bird*told me that on Wednesday 31st January at 11pm on BBC Radio 2 there is a repeat of Bob Harris' Old Grey Whistle Test at 40 (Sept '73-July '74)
Whispering Bob discusses 'the old days' with Steve Harley & Roger Daltrey who perform live.

Should be worth a listen.
Will post the iplayer link here 1st Feb in case anyone misses this.

* Thanks Graeme Blake.

Oh my goodness, what a sublime stripped down version of 'Sebastian' played with James and Barry!
Who needs an orchestra when you have musicians like this?
At first I was puzzled to hear guitar and violin being played, quite forgetting that Steve doesn't just do vocals. Obviously I was having a "blonde" moment.
Our Mr. Nice follows Jim Croce's "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" near the beginning of the programme.
