* MOMENTS OF TRUTH
1975 TAPE(?gen)
9.5 The Hippodrome, Golders Green, London
Appears to be a transcription of a UK radio broadcast. Great sound!
Tracks:
Side 1:
Running Hard
Side 2:
Mother Russia / Prologue / Ocean Gypsy / Ashes Are Burning
* KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR (77)
14oct77
2CD
9.5 Royal Albert Hall, London
A complete show recorded for King Biscuit Flower Hour at the famous
Royal Albert Hall with the Philharmonic Orchestra. The broadcast has
never featured the complete show, but this 2CD-set does.
The sound I find much better then their 'Live At Carnegie hall' release
(crispy and clearer) but there is a small drawback. One of the mics
apparently
has not been earthed very well, at some softer parts there's some buzz.
(But not all that distracting). If it weren't for the buzz I would have
graded this a 10!
The opening 'Prologue' is an Symphonic version played by just the
orchestra (great!)
This show features the complete 'Song Of Sheherazade' (25min) and a
long 28min version of 'Ashes are Burning' including both a drum and
bass solo.
As a bonus there's a live recording of 'Prologue' from 28jan79 at
Asbury
Part, NJ and a never before released studio track: 'You, parts 1 and
2'.
Recommended!
Tracks:
CD 1:
Prologue / Can You Understand / Carpet Of The Sun / Can You Hear Me /
Song Of Sheherazade
CD 2:
Running Hard / Midas Man / Mother Russia / Touching Once (Is So Hard To
Keep) / Ashes Are Burning
28jan79: Prologue
Studio: You (part 1 & 2)
