Yes, it's from the BBC College Concert series.  This bootleg (I just
saw this today, also) was probably taken directly from the BBC
transcription disc.  The sound quality of the original is really
great, and this is a pretty good performance, including the crowd
sing-along with the beginning of "Respectable Street".  The original
BBC record has an announcer at the beginning, and at the end of the
first half.

However, I believe "Set Myself on Fire" is the B-side to the "Towers
of London" single, and wasn't on the original BBC concert vinyl.
