I think 14 june 1975 was the transmission date for the Hippodrome gig and it would have been recorded earlier.
Also to muddy the waters a little more 'Timeglider' has BBD playing Oxford Polytechnic on 14 june 1975 on the Futurama tour.

Just to clear the waters completely ..
and speculation..

'Timeglider' is 100% wrong.. only on this one, otherwise pretty sterling stuff

The BBC Recorded Seven Tracks Of Be Bop Deluxe At The Golders Green Hippodrome on SATURDAY 14th June 1975.
There is A Distinct Announcement from the 'Compere' that if you missed Be Bop Deluxe on this tour there is one more date
which is the NEW VICTORIA THEATRE Tomorrow Night SUNDAY 15th June 1975.

No Chopyn on 14th June
No Oxford New Theatre On 14th June

I think the compere would have known the transmission date of the recording when he made the announcement for the radio audience, so no point in referring to gigs that had already happened before that date.

There's a poster here - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371911851858 - which lists Jun 14th as Oxford Poly.

The tour was on a tight schedule, and it's not easy to see where they could have fitted in an extra London date before the 14th.

Would BBD - or its management, more likely - have cancelled the Oxford date to do the BBC show in London?

Were 'In Concert' programmes transmitted live ? It went out at 6.30pm on 14th of June. I would have thought they would have been recorded in case of any technical issues. Does your recording include Rab Noakes who also features in the programme listing ? How long is the Be bop section ?

This Hux records Gentle Giant live album from the Hippodrome has different recording and transmission dates.

Can't rule out the transmission would be different to recording although the Queen christmas eve simulcast was live on 24.12.75
there are two dates in the BBD tight schedule (4th/10th) with no concerts..
The theory of the compere always pretending to be in another time and space seems in the long term rather confusing?
For everyone !??

I Would hope the Hippodrome concert could be included on the new Futurama Deluxe edition with a definitive date of event & transmission taken from the BBC Archive records????

According to the poster here - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371911851858 - BBD were playing in Newcastle that day

That's my last word here - see you in the new Dreamsville!

I Stand corrected if that is the official word
Maybe the ''in concert was from Newcastle?
