Live at the BBC is a compilation live album of the British progressive rock band Curved Air from sessions on: 10 November 1970 (tracks 1-3). 5 January 1971 (tracks 4-5). 9 March 1971 (tracks 6-8). 29 January 1976 in concert at Paris Theatre, London (tracks 9-13). The album's liner notes give conflicting dates for the sessions

In their first album "Air Conditioning", a prominent role was given to vocals and violin; the album reached number 8 in the British charts. Then, in 1971, they released "Second Album", highly recommended example of CURVED AIR sound (a mix of acoustic folk and progressive rock). 1972 was the year of "Phantasmagoria", with Mike Wedgwood as bass guitarist. After a long tourney the band fell apart and Way formed the WOLF, while CURVED AIR showed a new line-up with Eddy Jobson as violinist, but they will never reach the performance level of the early two albums. The four members of the original project made the first reunion in 1975 for a tourney (album "Curved Air Live"). Afterwards Kristina and Way carried on with drummer Stewart Copeland, bassist Tony Reeves, guitarist Mick Jacques and released "Midnight Wire". Their last album was "Airborne", published in 1976.

modificato over 3 years ago riferendosi a Curved Air Live, LP, Album, SML 1119. The is basically the original Curved Air lineup reunited, minus the bassist (as the original lineup had trouble keeping bassists to begin with). This time they brought in American bassist Philip Kohn (he won't be the only American musician to join ranks of Curved Air, Stewart Copeland would be too just shortly after this recording). These songs are still recognizable, but they take on new twists. Take, for example, "Propositions", Francis Monkman decides to throw in some Terry Riley type of organ, reminding one, naturally, of A Rainbow in Curved Air, which is no surprise given that album (and composition) was where the band got its name. Much of "Vivaldi" is still recognizable, but for some reason Darryl Way decided to throw in a bit of "The Sailor's Hornpipe" and even Sonja sings in one short spot.
