Another one of those broadcasts that leaves you wishing for the rest of the concert! Probably they did an edit job, and just lobbed off "The Bomber"/"Closet Queen" part of the medley, leaving us with just the ending, but what an ending!

This show comes from a great but short lived series that ran on ABC-TV circa 1973-75. Since this is way before stereo TV, you could watch the visual portion on TV, and they would simulcast on certain FM stations the stereo sound. While the sound and mixes are primitive by today's standards, they weren't too bad for the times.
