By 1976 Welsh wonders the Man band had been a working unit for eight years. At this point in their career the only founding member still standing was Mickey Jones. He was joined by long time drummer Terry Williams, in again out again and in again Deke Leonard,(Then on his third stint of duty), keyboard player Phil Ryan who had also had a touch of the “Deke Leonard’s” in that it was his second stint with the band and new boy John McKenzie on bass.

The band feeling that they had gone as far as they could go decided to go out with style on a British “Farewell” tour to promote their most recent long playing platter The Welsh Connection. The tour’s highlight would be a series of concerts at the London Roundhouse on the 10th, 11th and 12th of December. The Roundhouse had been the scene of many Man triumphs during the seventies so perhaps it was the ideal way for the band to bow out. The band would also be recorded at the Roundhouse with the results turning up on the posthumous live album All’s Well That End’s Well.

Over the three days however the band were also filmed at the Roundhouse and the resultant film which includes performances from the three days and features interviews with the band as well as the bands manager and even the hard working put upon road crew. The band are in top form but let’s face it when were they not in top form? In addition to the informative and hugely enlightening interviews the band perform some classic Man material including 771 551, Born With A Future, Bananas and Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.

This fascinating documentary has rarely been seen since the original film was broadcast in the late seventies and as such will be highly anticipated by the large and devoted fan base still commanded by Man and as such gives a great insight into what the band were all about during their seventies heyday.
