I found this concert on YouTube a few days ago (it was only uploaded a few days ago...): www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYYJ_LgdtPQ&t=1107s
Unfortunately there is no date given. I know that it's not the same show as the one at the Thames Polytechnic on 31 Oct 1975 because the set list is different. I was at the Thames Poly gig that was a few days after Charisma sent me a copy of 'Godbluff' for review; the concert started with 'Undercover man' which segued into 'Scorched earth' as per the record (PH stood and sang the first song without instrument then moved to his clavinet for the second song).
There is knowing applause after (or before) one or two of the 'Godbluff' songs, suggesting that the concert took place after 31/10/75, in which case I wonder why I didn't go to it.
The concert, of course, is well worth listening to (although I still don't like 'Gog'); knowing the date of the concert would be bonus points.
