Does anyone know if the complete Shadows set at the Thank you very much show (1978) is available? I'm sure they performed more than 4 songs at the show.

Hi Roy,

From my records (and a tape recording) the complete show was
Cliff Richard & The Shadows: The Young Ones – Do You Want To Dance – The Day I Met Marie
The Shadows: Shadoogie – Atlantis – Apache – Nivram – Walk Don’t Run – Little ‘B’ – Let Me Be The One (v) – Wonderful Land – F.B.I.
Cliff Richard & Band: Please Don’t Tease – Yes He Lives – Every Face Tells A Story – Up In The World – Miss You Nights – Up In Canada – Meltin’ Into One (Cliff solo)
Cliff Richard & The Shadows: Move It – Willie And The Hand Jive – The Minute You’re Gone – Bachelor Boy – All Shook Up (Cliff, Hank & Bruce)
Cliff Richard & Band: Devil Woman – Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music – Thank You Very Much (by all)

Of the nine tracks by The Shadows, six have been released. "Shadoogie", "Atlantis", "Nivram" and "Apache" have appeared on the "Thank You Very Much" album. "F.B.I." and "Let Me Be The One" have appeared on the "Thank You Very Much" VHS video and laser vision disc.

"Let Me Be The One" was also on the digitally remastered re-issue of the "Thank You Very Much" CD from July 2004 (7243 4 73356 2 4).

Yes that is correct and without the interrupting interview segments.

It's such a shame that the whole show will probably never be made available officially in any form. Obviously it was all recorded both in sound and vision and yet so much of it was left on the shelf. A complete and uncut version would be great, with all the interview bits as extras on a DVD or blu-ray. I know it won't happen, but I'd buy a copy or two if it ever did!
