This concert from the Sydney Sports Stadium was the final show of his Australian New Zealand tour in 1976, an event which marked his comeback to the live stage after a creatively fruitful four year sabbatical from live performance that resulted in the creation of the ground-breaking, Grammy winning album; "Jonathon Livingston Seagull" and the autobiographical album produced by Robbie Robertson of The Band; "Beautiful Noise".
