In January 1972, Atomic Rooster performed live on Belgian TV's "Pop Shop," a significant moment as it occurred during a period of dynamic change for the band. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album "In Hearing of Atomic Rooster" (1971), which marked the band's exploration of a more progressive rock sound, blending elements of hard rock and psychedelia. By this time, the lineup had shifted, with Chris Farlowe on vocals and keyboards, contributing to a distinct sound. The performance showcased their energetic style and musicianship, reflecting their growth in the early 1970s. Interestingly, this appearance highlighted the band's rising popularity in Europe, particularly in Belgium, and foreshadowed their continuous evolution, leading to future releases that would further define their sound.
