Another unexpected discovery: a Third Ear Band's radio session in 1970!

Here is another miraculous discovery from the web, a new live radio set by TEB from February 15, 1970, taken from a John Peel's Sunday Show that seemed lost forever.

The episode (approximately 40 minutes long) featured performances by the Third Ear Band and the Edgar Broughton Band, both on the Blackhill and Harvest Records roster, who often performed together live.

The TEB played only two tracks: "Mosaic," from the first album, and "Water(here, unfortunately, incomplete), from the (forthcoming) second onewrongly announced by Peel as  "The Sea," displaying, as I have written countless times, a prodigious interplay.

It's interesting to note that, compared to the version later released on the second album, "Water" has a darker, more sinister feel, as if a threat were looming.

Detailed information about the track list for the episode, which was rebroadcast in September 6, 1970, can be found at  https://peel.fandom.com/wiki/15_February_1970
