Magic in the air, published in the same year as Run for Home, but recorded on Christmas Eve 1977 cannot be compared to the first Live one. It's their only double album and like Finest Hour it contains material from their first three records. Of great interest is the cover and especially the inner sleeve with prints of articles from the British Press concerning their City Hall concert(s). For all of you who do not have a copy, here some samples:

1. It will come as no surprise to anyone to learn that both Lindisfarne concerts at the City Hall arranged for December 23 and 23 have sold out completely. .... and apparently thousands will be travelling from all over the U.K. to Newcastle to see the band. So now another concert on Wednesday, December 21, starting at 7.30 p.m. is managed.

2. The huge demand for tickets has now led to a fourth show being planned on December 24.

3. Tickets for the show on December 21 are being sold at Pounds: 3.50, 3.25, 3, 2.75 and 2.50

4. Lindisfarne the super successful Tyneside group who rocketed to stardom in the early 1970s are to re-form for two christmas concerts in Newcastle. Capacity audiences of 2.450 are expected for the concerts..... The five will be all together again the first time since the band split at the height of its success in April 1973.

Album Cover Info

Recorded live at Newcastle City Hall on Christmas Eve, 1977 with the Basing Street Mobile.
Mixed at Moonlight, September 1978. Engineered by Phil Dunne.
On the 21st of December 1977 Lindisfarne walked on the stage for the first of of five
concerts at Newcastle City Hall. The concerts were more than an event.
They were an historic occasion.
The electric atmosphere, the magic in the air, the music and the audience added up to
an event that no-one present will ever forget.
