Looking through concert tickets / programmes at home, I came across one from Sheffield City Hall - 19th May 1989 - The Philadelphia Show.

Seem to recall two of the acts were The Three Degrees ( Sheila Ferguson had left by then ) and Billy Paul. Pretty certain there was a third act but cannot remember who it was if there was one. Can anyone shed any light on this tour please.

This album seems to have been recorded live during the same tour .

Thanks for that. I did think it was Harold Melvin, but having seen them with the Manhattans in the 70's, I started to wonder if I had seen them twice and thought not. Don't think I saw that CD either to be honest.

I saw most soul acts at the city hall during the 80s but I definitely did not go to that one obviously with Teddy long departed and Sheila Ferguson gone I must have thought not worth the bother.
