'''''The Union Chapel Concert''''' is a live album by [[Guy Evans]] and [[Peter Hammill]], recorded in the [[Union Chapel, Islington|Union Chapel]] in London, 3 November 1996, and released as a double CD in March 1997. The album is noteworthy because it is the first time the four ex-members of [[Van der Graaf Generator]], Hammill, Evans, [[Hugh Banton]] and [[David Jackson (rock musician)|David Jackson]], played together in front of a paying audience since the band had broken up in 1978.<ref>Christopulos, J., and Smart, P.: "Van der Graaf Generator – The Book", page 306. Phil and Jim publishers, 2005.</ref> The subtitle on the front of the album reads: "featuring a one song, one-off reformation of Van der Graaf Generator." David Jackson and Hugh Banton were unannounced guests and played a [[Soundbeam]]-medley and a [[Samuel Barber]] Adagio for strings on the church organ respectively.<ref name="auto">Album notes for the cd "The Union Chapel Concert" (1997).
