On this day, 4 Dec 1974, progressive rock band Curved Air, played Cardiff University.
The concert was recorded and released as Curved Air – Live and the first official live album by the band. It was the band's reunion tour and though it failed to enter the charts, it made enough profit to pay off the tax bill which had compelled Curved Air to reunite, allowing Francis Monkman and Florian Pilkington-Miksa to again leave the group.
Curved Air were formed in 1970 by musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds, including classical, folk, and electronic sound. The resulting sound of the band was a mixture of progressive rock, folk rock, and fusion with classical elements.
