This is a collection of some of Genesis's TV and radio sessions in Europe during th
e early 70s. Together with the 1970-1972 BBC sessions, these are the complete recor
dings we have of early Genesis performing in a studio, apart from their actual albu
ms. 

There are two other European broadcasts from this period; the Bataclan TV s
ession in 1973, and a poorer quality French radio broadcast of excerpts from the sh
ow at the Olympia on the 7th May 1973. But these, like the later King Biscuit Flowe
r Hour, Capitol Radio and BBC broadcasts, are all recordings of the band live on st
age. Whilst Bataclan & Olympia would make a nice companion to this set from the Eur
opean airwaves, the sound quality on Bataclan, and even more so the Olympia materia
l, is not comparable to the above sources. 

Needless to say, each of the above
 come from the best known sources I could find;

MTV studios 'Pop Shop', Brussels,
 Belgium, 20th & 21st March 1972.

This has been widely circulated as a video for
 many years, and is well known. Its also been making a video CD appearance on the H
ogweeds list. The audio for this has been available on the Chapter One boot CD 'Tan
go', but I think you'll find the audio on this remaster a significant improvement o
n that muffled version. ^M^MThe audio for the Belgium session comes from the master
 tapes - I know little more than that. Suffice to say it sounds as though it does.

Whilst beautifully clear, the one problem with this audio is that it is quite com
pressed, sounding brittle and almost to the point of distortion in places. I have e
ndeavoured to open up the sound by using an expander, primarily on the bass. This h
as toned down the bright sound, and brought some of the dynamics back into the musi
c again. 

The audio mix doesn't show Genesis's usual perfectionism and attention
 to detail. There are times when there are surges in instruments, Pete's vocals fad
e into the background, or something will leap into the foreground. You'd expect all
 these to happen in live performance of course. But in a studio session it shows th
e time constraints they were working under, having only two days, and the likelihoo
d that the visuals took some precedence over the soundtrack. 

So what we hear is
 Genesis live in the studio, never the most easy environment to bring out passion i
n a performance. Never-the-less, Peter, as can be seen from the video, leads the gr
oup in a vigorous rendition of some of their most energetic live pieces.

Jahrhunderthalle, Frankfurt, Germany, AFN Radio, 17th January 1973

This recording was
 sourced from a low generation cassette of the broadcast, likely a 1st gen. Unlike
many poorer versions in circulation, this tape shows the clarity of the original re
cording. However it still benefitted from quite a bit of cleaning up, denoising to
sharpen and bring out the treble. 

The recording was made in Jahrhunderthalle (C
entury Hall) in Frankfurt, and whilst it is a close soundboard recording, it presum
ably comes from a live concert performance. The alternative, that the band were tap
ed performing only two songs in front of a live studio audience, would only seem li
kely if other bands were also performing, in which case the announcer's "The last p
iece of music I'd like to introduce...." may have context. 

There is some ambigu
ity in the dating, as the official Genesis timeline has them on tour in Germany on
the 17th January, but not in Frankfurt, and no mention of this broadcast being reco
rded. Whilst the official timeline is not 'The Bible' of Genesis tour dates (for in
stance they list UK gigs performed at the beginning of the Lamb tour which were can
celled after Steve injured his hand), it seems the exact date and even location of
this performance may be up for review. However the performance almost certainly com
es from the January 1973 German tour. 

One feature of this recording, and it is
unique amongst much of Genesis's recorded legacy, is that for once, Peter is much l
ouder in the mix than the whole of the rest of the group :-))

From Thomas Holter
's notes on this broadcast, he translates the introduction as; "The last piece of m
usic I'd like to introduce now is something that we might like to call 'elektolore'
. It's folklore and everything mixed into it, and it's electronic; how else could i
t be called? Anyway it's a very interesting group, which I've already met a couple
of times before. So, this is Genesis!"

Thomas goes on to comment that it is unli
kely that AFN radio have kept their master tape of this broadcast, and it is likely
 lost. 

Some tape versions of this broadcast in circulation have included a trun
cated version of Supper's Ready as part of this Frankfurt broadcast. However this c
omes from the French ORTF 1974 TV session, and is recognisable as SR comes in at ".
..six saintly shrouded men". This is the version that appeared on the Highland disc
 "Willow Farm in Rainbow".

'Melody' Programme, ORTF TV Studios, Paris, France, 12th Feb. 1974

...and until recently, that truncated Supper's Ready was all
 that was circulating of this TV studio session. About a year ago Highland released
 a video of the full set, SR being preceeded by I Know What I Like, plus some intro
 soundtrack of the instrumental part of Firth of Fifth from the offical release. Ho
wever the Highland version is somewhat muffled and not of low generation. 

This remaster has been prepared from a 2nd generation copy of the Hifi VHS. The audio is
 brighter and cleaner than any other available version, including Highland's "Willo
w Farm". However there is significant overload distortion in places where Mike hits
 the bass pedals; 'Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man' is probably the worst. This is
 present on the Highland versions as well, its just that you can't easily hear it a
s such under the muffled audio.  There is nothing I can do to improve this, once th
e distortion is on there I cannot remove it. However I have brightened the treble a
nd denoised by about 6Db. 

The Melody video is notable for the 'star effects' th
at circle Gabriel and the band during the early sections of Supper's Ready. Stills
from this, plus others from the Belgium 72 session, are featured in the cover art b
y Peter Ohgren for this Hogweed release. And its worth noting that the back tray ph
oto of the band, with Pete and Phil having a friendly cuddle (love em), comes from
after the Belgium session.


Genesis - Reading Festival, Reading, UK, Aug. 11, 1972, Hogweed #3

Notes:

HW03
Reading Festival, Reading, UK.  11th August 1972The Concert

The Concert

This recording is the cure for anyone who believes that Genesis are a genteel English a
rt band that can't rock. Its a gutsy performance and an appropriately gritty but de
tailed recording. The Knife in particular, is frightening in its power and intensit
y. 

Genesis were only on stage for around 50 mins, and this tape seems to captur
e the complete set. It sounds as though the recording was made from close to the st
age, as the music is direct and clear - you can even hear some things happening on
stage, not via the PA! Also it sounds as though the bulk of the audience are behind
, not in front of, the microphone. 

The PA mix seems to be a bit wayward at time
s. Rutherford's bass is quite prominent, although this is primarily due to a 'wolf'
 note around 100Hz, which I think comes from the PA, not the recording. Gabriel's v
ocals get a bit lost at times, and possibly this is due to his cavorting with the m
ic stand, as described by Andy. The verses of Watcher of the Skies are a bit lament
able for this reason, not helped by the prominence of the backing vocals, which are
 somewhat wayward in tone. This sounds more like Rutherford singing, rather than Co
llins, but I'm not sure. But Steve Hackett's guitar is fantastic, one of his most a
ggressive and unrestrained performances. There is even a bit of unintentional feedb
ack happening in Musical Box (tr 8, 6:50), which Steve uses to great effect.


This show has been widely available for some time, both as traded tapes of varying qua
lity, or the vinyl boot "Come Ancient Children". More recently, Highland's "Coastli
ners" disc contains The Knife and Twilight Alehouse from this recording, although n
ot credited as such. If you have this disc, you may like to compare the sound quali
ty with this Hogweeds version. It makes an interesting comparison :-)

The Source

My source comes from a CDR, thought to be from a 1st generation tape (thanks Mark
 :-). When I first heard it, I thought it was suprisingly good, not only sound qual
ity, but quite hiss free for a tape of this period. Certainly 1st gen sounded very
likely. Upon listening and working on this recording though, I have come to two hyp
otheses;

Firstly, I believe this recording was made on a reel to reel machine. T
he sound quality, particularly the punch in the bass, is just too good for cassette
s of the period. Also the noise frequency profile is more like that of reel to reel
 - more midrange than treble hiss, and very little rumble. 

Secondly, its possib
le the CDR I've worked from may come from the master reel to reel tape. There is so
me strong, low (around 30Hz) frequencies on this recording that are unlikely to hav
e come from cassette, as the thin tape just won't carry them. One reason to doubt t
his theory, is that if this CDR came from masters(!), it would likely have retained
 this information in its travels. So the jury's out, but when all is considered, it
s a great source. 

There are a few edits in the recording, which sound as though
 they are on the master. 2 occur just before Knife, one at the beginning of Gabriel
's introduction (tr 1, 1:31), which cuts in with "a brand new number...", the secon
d cuts off the first 2 notes of the song. I have carefully restored these first not
es, and I think the repair is pretty convincing, if I do say so myself :-).

The last edit omits some audience ambience after the applause for Musical Box (tr 8, 1
0:18), and cuts in again just as Phil says "got a very important message here...".
 At first I thought this last edit may be a 90 min cassette tape flip, at 45 mins.
However, I have several versons of this recording from different tapes, and all the
se edits are identical.

The Restoration

The recording is glorious mono, and
I have done nothing to enhance that. The source was very stable and centralised in
stereo, so I have left it that way. 

Denoising has been minimal, around 5Db of h
ighs and mid frequencies. There are gentle swells in the background noise on this s
ource throughout the recording. This is more noticable at some times than others. T
he denoising has not made this any more noticable, but neither could I balance it o
ut. 

There were times, mostly at the beginning of the recording and between song
s, when an amount of microphone fumbling was embarked upon. I have removed much of
this, not by editing these sections out, but by filtering the bumps and scratches.

There are several small dropouts, most of which don't detract. There is one which
 I have repaired, toward the end of Knife, when Gabriel sings "We have won!" the se
cond time.

Lastly, that 100Hz wolf frequency in the bass was attenuated 4Db, wh
ich just tames it a little, but you can still notice it, particularly during Watcher.

Memories of the show, by Andy Wilkinson

The annual Reading festival is held over August bank holi
day weekend and is one of the most long and enduring festivals held in England, and
 goes back as far as the 60's. Originally known as the Reading Jazz, Blues, and Roc
k Festival, the organisers recognising the appeal of "rock" with more die-hard and
willing devotees to attend the gatherings, concentrated the line-ups with an increa
sing number of known and less known rock "acts". By the early 70's Reading was seen
 as a showcase for up and coming British talent with a mix of the more established
"name" bands as well as a diminishing smattering of blues and jazz. People like Ror
y Gallagher were perennial names at Reading year after year. The organisers were no
t slow to also include at least one or a couple of American artists too.

So back to 72 and Genesis first appearance at the auspicious Reading festival: they were b
illed to play during the evening of the first day which commenced as usual around m
idday on the Friday. Still relatively unknown outside the club and college circuit
of London and the home counties, this was to be an interesting test of their appeal
 in front of a very mixed bunch of festival goers, many present to see other more p
rominent headlining bands.

If I recall rightly, they came on stage sometime arou
nd 8pm and were to be given little more than 40-45 minutes to play a relatively cur
tailed set. Being late August it was still pretty light at this time and they were
to have limited use of any stage lighting during the early part of the set. With 40
 odd minutes to play, it was going to be an interesting short set.

They opted to
 go "hell for leather" from the start and kicked off with a frenetic "The Knife". T
hey sure as hell grabbed a lot of people's attention as darkness fell, and PG was a
s usual the focus of everything up there on stage. Next "Twilight Alehouse" seemed
to please the crowds with the slurred organ finale, then straight into "Watcher". F
or those who hadn't seen the band "live" before, this was a new song that had yet t
o be released on album at this time. Now getting pretty dark, the majestic choral o
pening really did catch the atmosphere of the evening, and the crowd was definately
 warming not to say mesmerised by a young band who sounded totally and radically di
fferent to anything that appeared before. "Musical Box" followed then it was to be
the conclusion of a short but both ear and eye-catching set with "Hogweed". Always
a great ending to the set with PG darting to the left then right of the entire stag
e, mike-stand held high above the head as if about to launch a javelin throw.

They had stolen Friday evening musically and created a wonderful hour of festival atm
osphere on a warm August evening. I recall a distinct puncturing of the mood after
the set, created by the band Mungo Jerry who immediately followed Genesis. A one-hi
t wonder pop-skiffle outfit who only succeeded in exposing their own limitations fo
llowing on the heels of such an upbeat set by Genesis. The line-up for that Friday
evening was miscalculated and askew; however "G" were a relatively unknown outfit w
ho could not be considered headline material at this stage in their career. They ce
rtainly turned heads by this performance and sure won many new friends.

Stadthalle, Heidelberg, 15th January 1973

1. Watcher of the Skies
2. Twilight Alehouse
3. Get 'em Out by Friday
4. The Musical Box
5. The Return of the Giant Hogweed

The Concert

This concert was performed as part of a Charisma festival package tour, and Genesis
 by this time were headlining the bill. Accompanying them on the tour were Lindisfa
rne, Peter Hammill of  Van der Graaf Ganerator and Capability Brown. Their set was
short, only 50 mins, so songs like Supper's Ready didn't get played. The entire con
cert is documented on this recording.

This show was around the middle of the Foxtrot tour, so they had been performing th
is material for 6 months, in the UK and Italy at least since the latter parts of 19
72. Both in Italy and at home, Genesis were becoming a big drawcard and getting an
enthusiastic response. So this recording represents the Genesis that was turning he
ads in Europe, and beginning to get the broader recognition from audiences that the
y deserved.

And what a great set it is too - brought to life by this wonderful and very dynamic
 recording. The energy and power of the performance is well captured, and there is
a huge sense of the hall ambience. The recording sounds as though it was made from
a fair way back from the stage.

Gabriel's vocals are disappointingly down in the mix throughout though, most notica
bly at the beginning of Watcher. And Tony's keyboards are not as prominent as usual
 either. However Phil's drumming is quite spectacularly captured.

The Recording

Initially I was offered a 2nd generation tape of this show, from someone who had tr
aded it direct from the taper. After a post on the net, we managed to track down th
e guy who originally taped this concert. Unfortunately, he is not on the net, or em
ail, and has not graduated from analogue to the digital age yet. Thus I was unable
to get a copy direct from his source tape. But this is what I found out:

The show was recorded on a Telefunken reel to reel machine, using BASF 13" reels an
d a Grundig microphone. Now here's the sad part: to save tapes, the taper would tra
nsfer his original recordings at home to a big 4-spur reel, using his Grundig machi
ne. Then he would reuse his master tapes for another show. (In the 70s he recorded
over 300 shows - what a treasure there must be in his collection!).

Thus the master copy of this recording no longer exists. At best there is the 1st g
en reel that he still has. But it is rendered inaccessable as he is unable to copy
it to anthing but an analogue medium. So the 2nd gen tapes he makes are the best th
at we have (for the time being... :-).

There are 3 versions of this show that I know of:

i)  A poor CDR boot, which is the one I believe is in wide circulation. This transc
ription comes from a low gen tape, maybe 3rd or 4th gen, and is pitched quite fast,
 so it is a half tone sharp at least. It is quite muffled, and a roll off filter se
ems to have been applied to the treble to minimise the distractions of hiss.

ii) The 2nd gen tape I have. This tape sounds quite clear, although it misses the G
erman introduction, and has some very nasty high frequency distortion during the fi
rst few minutes (Gabriel's intro). Plus it is not as bright in the treble as...

iii) A CDR, probably from a 2nd gen tape, but it sounds so sharp and clear in the t
reble that I wonder whether it may come from a reel to reel source. Compared with t
he other versions it is glorious, dynamic and detailed. However it has one annoying
 problem; cross talk. Throughout the recording there is a print through of another
track of music, it is soft, but noticable in the quieter sections.

The Audio Restoration

I have chosen to work primarily with the 2nd gen CDR version, splicing in quieter s
ections from the 2nd gen tape where cross talk was noticable. These are often secti
ons where Phil is not drumming, so there is no loss of his cymbal work. The differe
nce between the two sources in terms of general clarity and hiss is quite minimal,
so the splices are quite unnoticable.

The CDR version was pitched slightly fast, so I had to digitally re-pitch it, and t
hen edit in those quieter sections. Once that was completed, I removed the rather p
rominant 50Hz hum throughout the recording, and cleaned up the bass rumble as well.

The bass is quite light on this recording, and very difficult to balance. It sounds
 quite variable throughout the recording. The songs Twilight Alehouse and Musical B
ox are not very bassy, but Watcher, Get em Out and Hogweed, when Mike returns to ba
ss guitar, are strong again. So getting the right balance was a bit open to guesswo
rk. The recording also had a 'boxy' peak in the lower midrange, which I've attenuat
ed. Other than those, the frequency equalisation is natural.

This recording has a beautifully detailed and clear top end, and I decided not to d
enoise it. The hiss levels are relatively quiet, but to clean them up would have me
ant losing a host of fine musical details, particularly in Phil's cymbal work. Ther
e is such a nice grain and texture to the treble, that I decided it had to stay the
 way it was. I feel the hiss is soft enough that it is not really a distraction any
way.

Volume levels are very realistic, by virtue of the fact that the recording was made
 without auto record levels. So all the dynamics of the original performance are ca
ptured beautifully - notice the power of Twilight Alehouse and Musical Box. There w
ere a few moments when the volume levels were manually changed during the recording
, most noticably the first sequence of Musical Box, and I have restored the volume
levels where this has occured.

The recording is mono, and I have added some early reflections to open up the stere
o image a little. Considering the amount of echo on the raw recording though, any e
xtra reverb would have been overkill, so it has not been added.


Genesis - Massey Hall, Toronto, Nov. 8, 1973, Hogweed #1

Notes:

Sound editor's notes;
Massey Hall, Toronto, 8th November 1973.

The Show;

This show comes from a very good audience recording, and one of the rare
stereo recordings of the period. There are interesting moments when the
stereo mix in the PA is quite apparent; listen for Steve's guitar whizzing
from side to side during Watcher, and again Steve's decorative notes during
the 'Old King Cole' section of The Musical Box. However the taper also had
a habit of 'wandering' the microphone from side to side in time with the
music to create a simulated stereo shift - hey it was the 70s, stereo was a
novelty! This is particularly noticeable during the intro to Watcher and
sections of Supper's Ready.

The show was not taped using automatic record levels, and hence it presents
the relative dynamics of an early Genesis show very accurately.

This is a powerful performance, and Watcher stands out as one of the most
majestic versions I have heard. Cinema Show is also powerful, with great
drumming from Phil. You can hear the audience's reaction to the flash pots
going off at the beginning of the New Jerusalem section of Supper's Ready.
Listen also for tuning problems with Tony's keyboards; during the first
half of the set his electric piano seems a bit out, and the melotron goes
slightly off during the closing sections of Apocalypse.

The show was apparently performed without a light show, both Gabriel and
Collins apologise for the fact that their lighting gear is stuck in a truck
broken down somewhere between Quebec and Toronto. This incidentally
confirms the date, as they played Quebec the night before.

The Source;

I have sourced this recording from a 2nd generation tape. This tape is
90mins long, and thus the show is incomplete, missing Epping Forest (and
possibly Horizons, if it was performed that night). This 90min version is
all that seems to be known, and I have reasons to believe that the 2nd gen
is the best that may exist, short of finding the master.

On a close listen to the tape, what I believe has happened is this;
The taper begins recording the show on a C90 tape, which runs out after 45
mins and is flipped at the crescendo of Steve's guitar solo in Firth of
Fifth (bummer!), so we're onto another tape side at that point. Given the
other 5 mins of Firth, plus 12 odd mins of Epping, an intro, maybe
Horizons, we're now coming up to over 20 mins into that side. (It could
even be a second tape, maybe only a C60.)

Then Gabriel begins introducing Musical Box. A minute or so into the intro,
enough time to realise 'this is going to be Musical Box, and its going to
run around 12 mins', the guy decides to flip the tape again. You can hear
the edit; someone in the audience nearby calls out "Bill!", the end of the
word is cut, then Gabriel's whistle indicating the trajectory of little
Henry's head. It seems to me there may be a section of Gabriel's intro
missing, the description of Cynthia coming up behind him with her mallet
raise high etc.

Anyway, now we're onto another side of a C90 tape, and it runs straight
through, running out exactly as expected 45 mins later, just on the final
bars of Supper's Ready.

From those tapes, I believe someone, probably the taper but possibly a
close associate, has compiled a single 90 min tape to trade with (thus a
first gen). They've dropped Epping Forest and joined up the other sections.
The taper may have had record problems during Epping Forest, and so left it
off his duplicating master. Thus I believe everyone who has this show, from
when it was originally traded in the late70s/80s, only has 90 mins on 2nd
gen copies.

Another interesting note is that this tape was made by the same guy who
recorded Pink Floyd at Maple Leaf Gardens on the 11th March, 8 months
earlier. The stereo wanderings are very recognisable (and work better with
Floyd). He taped the complete Floyd show at 125 mins, and it is almost
certain he would have been set up to do the same at this show (hope for the
missing songs maybe?).

Also, a nearby member of the audience, presumably a friend, was in the
habit of shouting "Yeeshkull!!". During the Floyd show Mr. Yeeshkull is
prominent enough to have the boot version of this show named after him.
During this Genesis gig however, he is much more subdued (although there
are some other guys nearby who are very vocal - 'Robot!' and 'Voice of
Spider!' notably). At one point, just before Mike's 12-string intro to
Cinema Show, you can hear this guy say, "Maybe I should give a
Yeeshkull!!". I'm glad he doesn't, but it does suggest this was his
signature call at concerts. Again, it was the 70s! :-)

The Restoration;

This tape was a difficult one to work with. Firstly it was relatively
hissy, with a dramatic drop off in treble information above 4KHz, to almost
nothing above about 8KHz. However it contains a wealth of fine detail. The
problem was how to drop the hiss levels without loosing all that textural
detail and ambience, whilst bringing out what little information was to be
heard in the top end. My decision has been to leave a noise floor that
still includes ambience and harmonic detail, but hopefully reduces the hiss
to less obtrusive amounts. Phil's cymbals still lack 'Ting!', its just not
on the source, but I've brought the treble up to realistic levels - the
melotron intro to Watcher is lovely and gritty.

Also the bass was very subdued. I have ended up isolating everything below
150Hz and remixed it in. A lot of Mike's bass pedal work in Supper's Ready
was difficult, almost not there at all. There was also significant
'woofing' of the microphone during loud midrange peaks: Gabriel's vocals
during quieter sections, nearby audience members etc. Plus bumping of the
microphone between songs and during More Fool Me, all of which I have
removed.

The recording is pitched accurately, and there has been no alteration of
dynamics, as automatic record levels were not used.

HW04 - Student Union Auditorium, University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio.
6th April 1974

Sound editor's notes, from Andrew Skeoch

The concert

This recording is a
 complete Selling England show from the magnificent second US SE tour of early 1974
. The recording documents Genesis at their mature best, playing some of their most
evocative music, and features a nice version of Horizons. 

This recording docume
nts the complete concert, from a minute before the first melotron chord of Watcher,
 to the final applause after Supper's Ready. The show is performed impeccably. It i
s interesting to note the audience's extended applause after The Musical Box. I sus
pect the band left the stage after this number, leaving Steve to do his solo - a ge
sture that was interpreted by the audience as the end of the show, and thus cause f
or much foot stomping and hollering. I have this picture of Phil having to come bac
k on and rescue him!

The taper of this concert gives a running commentary to a f
riend throughout the show, which may be annoying, amusing or entertaining, dependin
g upon your point of view. Certainly some of his comments give an interesting sense
 of what is happening on stage. His conversation at the beginning is particularly i
nformative -  and "totally shredded" has now entered my vocabulary :-)

The Source

Master of 1st gen sources of this show are unknown. There are 2 CDR versions o
f this show in circulation (that I know of):

Source 1: This set has Watcher to H
orizons on disc 1, and Epping Forest to Supper's Ready on disc 2, plus bonus tracks
 from 13th June 1977 (these are poor quality (high gen) soundboard recordings from
the Palais des Sports, Paris recordings that lead to 'Seconds Out'). Tracks are ind
exed at the songs only, not the intros as well. This version sounds muffled, has a
noticable hum throughout, and is pitched about a half tone sharp.

Source 2: Thi
s version comes from what is accredited as being a 2nd gen source, and has the same
 disc tracklist as above, but with Peter's stories seperately indexed. This version
 sounds better than source 1, but has quite a bit of hiss, although the highs are c
lean. It is pitched about a quarter tone flat. 

Instead of either of these sourc
es, I have chosen to remaster from a tape of this show, which is marked '3rd gen'.
Whilst the actual generation of this tape is unconfirmed, two things are known.

Firstly, it is the tape that was used to make the source 1 CDR version above, altho
ugh listeing to it, you wouldn't guess it. By the owner's own admission, the transf
er of his source tape to digital left a bit to be desired. 

Secondly, this '3rd
gen' tape sounds much better than the Source 2  '2nd gen' CDR. Although the highs a
re similarly clear, the hiss is less, and the mids show the tape to come from a low
er gen source. There is much more detail and depth on the tape. Also the lows on th
e tape are richer and fuller than on the CDR. 

Of the actual recording; the mast
er tape appears to run from Watcher through to "To see reflected there..." in Firth
 of Fifth, thus one side of 90min tape. The second side seems to stop only 17 mins
later, in the middle of The Musical Box. The last minute of this section of the rec
ording has increasingly loud mechanical bumps indicating an ending tape side. Howev
er this edit may also be a result of the copying, as the last tape side (which appe
ars complete) runs for 46 mins until the end of the concert. 

Thus there are onl
y two apparent edits in the recording, but both result in the omition of short sect
ions of the concert. To fill these gaps I have edited in sections from the Detroit
16th April tape, from ten days later. 

There was a third edit at the conclusion
to the introduction to Supper's Ready, but this came from a copying edit, and, whil
st it was missing from my tape, I was able to include the missing section from CDR
source 2. If you listen closely, you can hear the slight degredation in quality res
ulting from using this source. 

The Restoration

The primary problem with this
 recording, and the greatest challenge for me in restoring it, is immediately evide
nt to anyone who knows this recording - microphone bumps!!  The taper must have bee
n hand holding his microphone, but it sounds as though he's eating his dinner off i
t. There are low bass bumps all the way through the recording. On several occasions
 (at the beginning of the loud instrumental in Musical Box (5:55), and also during
Suppers Ready (at 2:32)) he actually taps out rhythms on it!!  And on a few occasio
ns, just for good measure, the taper blows on the mic. 

Getting these bumps and
 scratches etc out, took over 500 edits. I've approached this not by cut editing, w
hich would have removed sections of the music, but by using a denoising program. In
 what I call 'inverted' mode, with the 'audition noise' button in, DINR will remove
 sounds above a threshold, rather than below it, as normal with noise floor attenua
tion. Thus in many cases I was able to set the music as the threshold, and remove t
he bump at frequencies were it was louder than the music. This technique works rema
rkably well, although sometimes you can hear a slight dropout, simply because there
 is no music left under a hefty bump. In other cases, where the music is louder and
 more complex, and the mic fumbling quieter, the bumps were not loud enough to isol
ate and remove, so you'll hear a few of those moments still remaining. If you are l
istening on a good stereo, you may also notice a few occasions during Peter's intro
s where the noise floor goes a bit 'digitally' - these are probably the scars left
after bouts of mic fumbling were removed.

So having removed extraneous noises a
nd bass rumble, the next task was to clean up the treble. This was achieved with on
ly 6Db of broadband noise removal, which is quite modest, thanks to a clean source
tape. 

The second significant issue with this recording is that the treble conta
ins significant harmonic distortion. There are times when Phil's cymblals become a
wall of hard, 'fizzy' treble, with little definition. I eventually settled on an eq
ualisation curve which attenuated the worst of this, but as it was a 'quality not q
uantity' issue, there was little I could do to totally remove it. The choice was ei
ther correctly balanced treble with distortion evident in places, or muffled and st
ill distorted. 

So if you find the top end a bit brash in places, sorry, but its
 on the source. Be reassured, the final mastering has smoothed some of this and rev
ealed more definition. If you have a copy of source 2, it may seem that the treble
is smoother, but this is an audio illusion created by the hiss which does have a sm
ooth white noise texture. Remove it and the fizzy treble is revealed. 

Finally,
this is a mono recording. I have used early reflections to open up the stereo stage
 a little.

Memories

Notes for HW04, Toledo Ohio, 6th April 1974,
from Mike Sirofchuck, who attended th
e concert the night after, at the Agora Ballroom, Columbus Ohio.

On April 7, 197
4, my college roommate Doug Abbuhl and I, set off from the little town of Athens Oh
io, and headed for the Agora Theatre in Columbus to see a band we'd read about in M
elody Maker; Genesis.  We really wanted to see them, yet we had never heard their m
usic.

Even though it was a 90 minute drive, we managed to arrive at the venue th
ree hours before the show in order to be sure and get good seats. While we were wai
ting outside the theater, a scraggly, heavily-medicated fan regaled us with descrip
tions of Genesis's songs, that were in no way related to what we eventually heard t
hat evening (or any other evening, for that matter). One thing was for sure though
- this guy wanted to hear 'The Return of the Giant Hogweed'.  Unfortunately, he was
 one tour too late.  He may have been disappointed, but we were not.

As we stood
 in the early spring Ohio chill outside the theater on High Street in downtown Colu
mbus, five bundled figures approached us and asked in very un-Midwestern accents if
 the doors were open.  One guy was tall and rangy and another was really short and
had a most bizarre haircut; we chatted amiably with them about the cold for a coupl
e of minutes while they tried to get in to do their sound check. Eventually they we
nt around back to find a stage entrance.  So now we had met the band in person, all
 that remained was to hear them!

When the doors opened an hour before the show,
there were four of us waiting to get in - being early had really paid off! We grabb
ed seats at the first row of tables, about fifty feet from the stage; close enough
for a great view and far enough back for great sound.  

Finally, the lights went
 down, the mellotron swelled with the opening strains of 'Watcher of the Skies', an
d a caped figure with bat-winged head and fluorescent eyes appeared in black light.
  Four ghostly figures in white were seated at their instruments, totally unlike an
y stage arrangement I had ever seen.

The lights came up after 'Watcher' while Ph
il reminded us that it was 8: 15 on a Sunday Night.  Lots of tuning of guitars and
mellotrons while Peter told the story to introduce 'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight
'.  He was fussing with his 'armor' which didn't seem to be fitting all that well a
nd he looked a bit self-conscious as well.

A concise rendering of the remainder
of the show based on the existing poor recording of this Columbus concert, and even
 worse memory:

Peter told a little story, they played 'The Cinema Show' and then
 went straight into 'I Know What I Like'. A story of water and then 'Firth of Fifth
', followed by the story of Henry which introduces 'The Musical Box' - this song re
ceived the strongest ovation up to this point.  Phil then stepped out from behind t
he drums to sing 'More Fool Me' with Michael on guitar accompanying him.  'The Batt
le of Epping Forest' was next, then Peter makes some cryptic remarks concerning 'to
tally rehearsed episodes with Geoff', before relating the classic tale of old Micha
el and the worms which is, of course, the intro to 'Suppers Ready'.  On this evenin
g, he and Phil sang the words to 'Jerusalem' rather than whistle the tune.  I can't
 remember if there was an encore, but the crowd was so small that I suspect there w
asn't.  

Never the less, Doug and I were newly converted Genesis freaks. I now k
now the set list we heard that evening, but at the time EVERY SINGLE SONG WAS NEW T
O US!!  Can you even remember the first time you heard various Genesis songs? From
the plaintive cry of 'Moonlit Knight' to the grand march of 'Apocalypse in 9/8' to
Phil's rendition of 'More Fool Me', I was inescapably hooked as a Genesis fan.  I r
emember that we kept saying to each other "which song is the Musical Box?", as it w
as the song most often mentioned in articles, and we were not disappointed when we
finally heard it.  

But for me, the most memorable passage, the part of the show
 I have relived most often over the years, is the instrumental section from 'Cinema
 Show', when Peter and Steve left the stage and Mike, Phil, and Tony soared through
 that piece. I was listening to what I still believe is one of the greatest seven m
inutes of prog every written.

Writing this little essay, listening to that godaw
ful Columbus tape and reliving that night, gives me great pleasure.  I realize that
 I've said very little about the actual concert - it was a mostly impressionistic e
xperience for me and my words are inadequate to describe it.  The band probably mad
e mistakes and played some songs a little differently than they did at other gigs,
and perhaps Peter's stories had a few unique details - I suspect the 'Geoff' episod
e is one.  What I do know is that it was a superb show in every aspect - absurd, hu
morous stories and masterful progressive music from one of the tightest live bands
I've ever seen.

Hard to believe that the crowd that night was only a hundred or
so, and that in a few years, Genesis would be filling stadiums as they moved in a m
ore 'pop' direction.

I am looking forward to the Hogweed remaster of the Toledo,
 Ohio, April 6th show.  I know you can never 'go home again' as Thomas Wolfe said,
but I hope you can experience some of the pleasure I'll get from listening to this
excellent recording from the 'Selling England By the Pound' tour.  I suggest that y
ou try to approach it with 'new' ears, as if you were hearing the music for the ver
y first time.

Oh, and we returned to Columbus in November to see 'The Lamb', but
 that's another story for a another time.

Genesis - Music Hall, Boston, MA, Apr. 24, 1974, Hogweed #10

Notes:

HW10

Music Hall, Boston. 24th April 1974

The Show

This evening's performan
ce in the middle of the 2nd American Selling England tour was frustrating and brill
iant at the same time. The equipment problems that plagued this tour were particula
rly bad this night, and at times you can hear Gabriel and Collins losing some of th
eir usual tolerance in the face of continual microphone problems. Gabriel comments
at one point that "we'll go professional next week", and Collins; "I bet you wish y
ou'd gone to the pictures". The intro to 'I Know What I Like' is aborted at one poi
nt. 

Never-the-less, this is a great musical performance, and one of the better
recordings of a show from this tour. Firth of Fifth is given a particularly emotive
 performance, and Phil varies some of his vocal lines in More Fool Me nicely. ^M^MT
here is also an interview with Mike and Phil, inlcuding the end of their performanc
e in the studio of 'More Fool Me', which was broadcast on Boston's WBCN radio, and
which seems to be previously unknown.

The Recording

This recording has been r
emastered from Steve Hopkins' transcription of his master tape, which he generously
 sent me. The recording was made on a Sony TC-55 with built in condenser microphone
. The tape was transfered using a Nakamichi DR-2 cassette deck to Sony TCD-60ES  DA
T recorder at 44.1KHz with Super Bit Mapping (which really improves the clarity of
the sound), before being transfered to CD. 

The recording is mono, but clear and
 with significant detail. The only limitation with this tape is that it does not re
present the entire show, as The Battle of Epping Forest, and possibly Horizons (if
they performed it this evening) are missing. There are also a few minor edits in th
e recording, and one of these may have omitted Phil's one-handed drum solo, which o
ne is tempted to think they must have performed given the amount of technical diffi
culties. 

This recording has been widely in circulation, most commonly through t
he Highland disc 'More Fool Me'. I don't have a copy of this, but my impression is
that while it is a complete transcription sourced from a low generation tape, it is
 very bright in the upper midrange, and lacking in richness in the bass. The master
 tape by contrast, is more balanced overall, and with a rich bass presence.

The afternoon before the show, Phil and Mike came into Boston's WCBN studios, performed
 'More Fool Me' and gave a short interview. This interview has not been previously
in circulation, but Steve had a recording of it, unfortunately missing all but the
last 50 secs or so of 'More Fool Me'. But at least it exists and is included in thi
s release. 

The Remaster

I took only one channel of Steve's transcription, so
 as to optimise for mono. I denoised the recording minimally, mostly just to sharpe
n up the treble a little. Eq balance was pretty good, although I attenuated the low
er midrange a little around 200Hz to compensate for a slight boxiness in the microp
hone. 

I have made a few small crossfade edits at points where the tape was turn
ed on and off during some of the technical hold ups in the show to provide a little
 more continuity. I cannot pick the point at which Epping Forest is missing from th
e recording, I assume it must have been played, especially as Phil and Mike comment
 in the interview about the show running nearly two hours - this recording comes in
 at just over 90 mins. 

There are also a few squeaky noises on the master record
ing, which may come from the cassete recorder, or even the seating at the venue. Th
ese sounds were quite distracting, so I have removed them. There was a very noticab
le one at the beginning of Tony's piano intro to Firth of Fifth, and others in the
opening section of Musical Box.


Genesis - Academy of Music, NYC, May 4, 1974, Hogweed #7

Notes:

HW07

Academy of Music, New York.
4th May 1974

The Concert

This was the se
cond last concert of the Selling England by the Pound tour. The band had been perfo
rming this music since October the previous year, some of it for much longer. What
we hear is not only a finely honed rendition of some of their best music, but an ex
hilarating performance. And what adds interest for us was what plagued the Genesis
crew at the time - equipment problems. Not only is Phil's One-handed drum solo rout
ine given an amusing airing, but later in the concert, Phil leads an impromptu impr
ovisation while covering for another running repair. 

And their equipment woes d
idn't end with the gig. Phil comments at one point during the concert "even the une
xpected happens tonight..." Little did he know. Later that evening all the band's g
uitars were stolen, to be returned the next day after a little bribery, allowing th
e performance of the 6th May to go ahead. On that last concert of the tour, Peter d
escribes the incident, in typically amusing fashion - however I'm sure they didn't
feel that way the day before. 

From a friend who lives in New York, I have been
told about the venue: "its offical name was 'Howard Stein's Academy of Music', the
place where so many famous bands played, Nektar, Renaissance etc. I think it was on
 14th Street. It was sold in 1976 and re-named 'The Palladium'."

In my opinion t
his concert may be regarded as one of the finest Selling England shows they perform
ed, and it is a great fortune that we also have one of the best recordings of the t
our to document it. 

The Recording

This audience recording is absolutely supe
rb. Clear open detailed sound, with good dynamics and very little hiss or distortio
n. Given this quality of sound, the matter of it being a mono recording becomes irr
elevent. 

The recording documents nearly the whole performance. However, there a
re two major gaps; the first, a minute and a half missing during from middle of the
 instrumental section of Cinema Show, and the other, the last third of Battle of Ep
ping Forest. These would be sad losses from an otherwise great recording, if it was
n't for the existence of an almost comparable quality recording from the same venue
 on the 6th. This recording, to my knowledge, is incomplete, cutting the end of Cin
ema Show, and finishing with Epping Forest and so missing Supper's Ready. However b
y good fortune, it does cover those sections missing from the tape of the 4th. So I
 have spliced in the missing sections from this 6th May tape. 

Hence this record
ing gives the complete show, to the extended applause and playing of Albinoni's Ada
gio that conclude the concert. 

The best known version of this concert in circul
ation is the Highland release: 'Voices in the Academy'. Recently, a CDR 'from VHS c
opy of master reels' has been circulating. This new version is a huge upgrade on th
e Highland version, and begins to show the quality of the original recording. Highl
ands source by comparison is hissy, muddy and with a 'bubbly' texture (minor dropou
ts). 

Recently I was sent a 1st generation tape from an American collector who h
as had his tape for a long time. Many years ago he did a trade with a Canadian coll
ector who insisted on a VHS dub of the tape. Comparing this 1st gen tape and the 'f
rom VHS' CDRs, I believe it is a fair bet that the new CDRs come from the VHS tape
dubbed from this tape. Certainly this 1st gen tape is clearer and more open than th
e CDs. 

The Restoration

This was a fairly straight forward recording to remas
ter, requiring little serious repair work. I began with a new transcription of the
1st gen tape, optimising for mono and giving a little boost to the bass harmonics.
^MI have chosen to denoise very slightly (-4Db) and also bring out the treble a lit
tle more cleanly. If you compare with the 'from VHS' CDs, you will hear the extra b
rightness in the top end, with marginally less hiss. The excerpts from the 6th May
tape were spliced in, eq balancing and repitching that recording, as it was about a
 half tone flat. 

The Academy of Music is a lovely old venue that has a rich war
m acoustic. I have complimented the recording with a little reverb, matched to that
 of the venue, and opening up the mono soundstage with some early reflections.


Genesis - Convention Hall, West Palm Beach, Florida, Jan. 10, 1975, Hogweed #5

Notes:

HW05

Genesis

Convention Hall, West Palm Beach, Florida, USA
10th January 1975


The Show

The Florida Lamb shows are a source of some confusion for several reasons. Traditio
nally it has been understood that Genesis's first two shows in the US to recommence
 the Lamb tour at the beginning of 1975 were at West Palm Beach on Jan 10th, follow
ed by the Civic Centre, Lakeland on Jan 11th.

However, Alan Hewitt has recently suggested, based upon his research, that they pla
yed the 9th of January also, and that both the 9th and 10th were performed at the G
usman Auditorium, University of Miami, Miami, Florida - a venue they were familiar
with from the Selling England Tour.  This information comes directly from a set of
tour itineries given to Alan by David Lawrence, Genesis's Chief Lighting Engineer o
n the Lamb Tour.

I presume the West Palm Beach date comes from an official tour list, so in the lack
 of any corroborating evidence for either venue, it seems the jury is out on this o
ne.

To avoid confusion, I'm going to stick with the West Palm Beach date for no other r
eason than that it makes the following confusion a bit more resolvable...

There are two known soundboard tapes which are reputed to be of these Florida conce
rts. Both are nearly complete, each missing sections around the 'Anyway-Colony of S
lippermen' part of the concert, and the intro to 'Musical Box'. These missing secti
ons correspond to the running out of the C90 cassette tapes that were used.

Apparently Genesis recorded every night of their Lamb tour off the mixing desk in t
his manner, with the exception of those evenings such as the Shrine Auditorium when
 a professional multi-channel recording was made. Most of these tapes have found th
eir way to The Farm, Genesis's recording studios in the UK. Here they await catalog
uing and possibly some of them may be released in the future officially, if the Gen
esis Archive Club project proceeds.

Meanwhile, the two Florida tapes have become well known and widely bootlegged. It r
emains a mystery how these tapes became available at all, but the story I have hear
d (from an experienced collector who was in contact with the person who owned these
 master tapes) is that they were obtained from Mike Rutherford at the time of the p
erformances. It seems that he may have given them to, or inadvertently left them be
hind with, a friend or colleague in Florida. The alternative I guess, is that someo
ne copied them at the time (unlikely, as the masters don't seem to be amongst The F
arm's collection), or just plain 'acquired' them.

Whatever, they are wonderful examples of Genesis's Lamb show, certainly among the b
est sounding that are currently available.

There remains the question of which tape is which performance. The two tapes are ge
nerally credited as being from the following dates, which is corroborated from audi
ence recordings of both nights, and are recognised by;

10th January West Palm Beach:

This master tape begins a few seconds into Tony's keyboard intro, and cuts out just
 before the guitar solo in 'Anyway'. Side 2 runs from the middle of Steve's solo in
 'Slippermen', through to the applause after 'it!'. A 3rd side picks up about 2 min
utes into 'The Musical Box'.

Peter's intro before Lilywhite Lilith begins: "At this point in time our hero is ta
ken by a blind lady named Lilywhite Lilith, into a large, round, dark, cave. And, t
wo hovering balls, a few feet above the ground enter the cave and fill it with this
 very bright light and Rael becomes overcome with fear..."

RoIOs include: 'The Lamb Descends on Waterbury' and 'Supper's Ready with a Little L
ost Lamb'. 'Lamb Descends' has excellant quality sound, but uses extensive sections
 from the Providence, Rhode Island 74 audience recording to fill the gap in the mid
dle of the show, and adds Lamb rehersal tracks from Headley Grange 1974. 'Lost Lamb
' has poorer sound, and adds 'Suppers Ready' from the Rainbow 73 radio broadcast.

11th January, Lakeland:

Master tape begins similarly a few seconds into Tony's keyboard intro, but runs out
 earlier about 2/3 of the way through 'Waiting Room'. Side 2 picks up similarly dur
ing Steve's solo in 'Slippermen', going through to audience applause after 'it!'. S
ide 3 cuts in about 1 minute into 'The Musical Box'.

Peter's intro before Lilywhite Lilith begins: "At this point, our hero... no, not i
n...  (pauses, someone in the audience calls out "Suppers Ready") No. Our hero is t
aken by a blind lady by the name of Lilywhite Lilith, into a large round cave, (bas
s pedal note from Mike), with a big, bass floor, and the floor of the cave is cover
ed with wet rocks, and this little tunnel which lights up as two, golden, hovering
globes, hover into the cave filling it with a big bright light. And our hero is ove
rcome with fear..."

RoIOs include: 'The Lamb Lives', 'From One Fan to All Others'. These two discs are
identical, and which plagiarised the other I don't know. Both edit sections from th
e Providence, Rhode Island audience tape to fill the omitted sections.

Both these dates are confirmed by the existence of audience recordings. And by the
way, the 'Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid' boot is not a soundboard recording (as I mista
kenly thought for quite a while) but the Providence Rhode Island audience recording
, minus the second encore 'Watcher'.


The Sources

I have remastered this recording from a known 1st generation tape, thus made direct
ly from the master soundboard tapes.

To fill the missing sections of the concert, I have chosen to use the audience reco
rding of the actual concert rather than a better sounding recording from another ni
ght, particularly one such as Rhode Island which dates from a month earlier and a d
ifferent leg of the tour. Whilst this provides an authenticity to the final edit, t
he sound quality of this audience recording is not the best. It has some pretty hea
vy overload distortion throughout, especially in the bass, and is a fairly distant
recording which lacks detail. On the up side; it is in stereo, and is nearly comple
te, running out toward the end of the intro to 'The Musical Box'.

I know my decision to use this recording may be not to the taste of all, but it jus
t sounded right. I did try other sources, and none of them blended in as well as th
e correct one, despite the poor audio quality. To be honest, all the audience tapes
 sound noticably poorer compared with the soundboard one, so which ever source I us
ed you are going to hear a pronounced drop in fidelity. Also, the distortion proble
ms prevalent throughout much of this recording didn't seem to be too abnoxious duri
ng the sections required, especially Peter's intros.

Also, to use another recording (and Rhode Island does stand out) would simply be to
 create another version of 'Lamb Descends on Waterbury'. With this remaster, you ca
n hear the complete concert as it was originally performed. And besides, I hope to
be remastering the Rhode Island tape seperately in the near future.

The W Palm Beach audience recording is sourced from a low, but unknown, generation
tape.


Restoration

This soundboard tape is in stereo, and is bright and clear, with good dynamics. Apa
rt from doing a clean transcription, little needed to be done to it. I have taken c
are to get the stereo phasing correct, as it wandered a little during the playing o
f the tape (only noticable if you're playing this in mono).

The treble is very clean but a little bright, giving a 'thin' sound, which is evide
nt on the 'Lamb Descends' boot. I have balanced this a little, and boosted the sub-
bass harmonics, giving Tony's pedals the required oomph!

I have not denoised it, as the hiss levels seem to come primarily from the mixer. Y
ou can hear how they vary throughout the performance. Where tapes were used during
the performance  (such as the bridge from 'Cage' into 'Grand Parade', and the end o
f 'Slippermen') the hiss from these is quite noticable. There are also times when o
nstage equipment buzzes are quite prominent as well. To try to denoise a recording
like this would just not work.

There is not a lot of stereo infomation. Most of the mix is near-mono, with Steve's
 guitar adding a few nice spacial moments (eg; Musical Box) or Tony's keyboards (Ra
vine). I have not added reverb or any other enhancements, so what you hear is the c
lean soundboard mix, complete with whatever effects were used on the night (and som
e are very noticable, particularly on Gabriel's voice and Hackett's guitar).

One puzzling feature of this tape is a strange high frequency noise during quiet se
ctions such as Gabriel's intros. It sounds like a bird 'twittering'. I have no idea
 where this noise comes from, but may be interference from the mixing desk somehow.
 Anyway, I have carefully removed it because, whilst it may be 'authentic', it soun
ds downright wierd and distracting. If you want to hear this noise in its original
state, listen to 'Lamb Descends'.

The audience tape was frequency balanced to blend in as best as possible with the s
oundboard tape. I have used it as little as possible, chosing to edit in the middle
 of songs to exploit the most of the soundboard tape that exists. This means some v
ery obvious edits. I reason that any edit between these two sources would be obviou
s, so please use a little listening license  :-))

I'm sure it pretty obvious, but the audience tape is heard at the very beginning as
 Gabriel introduces the show, during the missing Anyway-Slipperman section, and for
 Gabriel's intro to Musical Box. More subtely, I have also blended it into the appl
ause and Gabriel's story interludes, so you can hear the audience's interaction, an
d the reverb from the hall.

The first 2 minutes of Musical Box is missing from both the soundboard and audience
 tapes. I have chosen to use the Rhode Island 74 tape to begin the song, blending t
o the Lakeland soundboard after that first minute and a half, and then editing into
 the West Palm Beach tape when it picks up a minute or so later.

There are two gaps in proceedings not represented on either recording; one at the e
nd of the audience applause after 'it!' and before Peter begins introducing 'Musica
l Box', and the other when the audience tape runs out before Musical Box begins. Bo
th these missing sections give the impression of being quite short, possibly only 1
0 secs or so, and I have simply cross faded the existing tapes together.

There is no recording of a second encore; 'Watcher of the Skies', if it was played
during this concert.


Genesis - Manchester, England, Apr. 27, 1975, Hogweed #2

Notes:

Sound Editor's Notes;

The Show;

This is a recording of the complete concert from the triumphant British leg of the
Lamb tour. It is a beautifully clear and undistorted recording, which I have been a
ble to remaster from the master tapes (many thanks to Colin Dodd for providing them
). As Colin points out in his essay, the concert began late, and the venue curfew m
eant that only Musical Box was played as an encore.

The music is immaculately played (as always), and the concert features an outstandi
ng Waiting Room. By this stage in the tour they were stretching out a bit more on t
his improvisation, and both the frightening first part and the driving build up are
 extended, and have many different elements not heard previously. Perhaps, knowing
that they had done their BBC recording of the tour (at the 15th April London concer
t), they felt freer to experiment a bit more in front of a very supportive home aud
ience. Hackett seems to be refining his solos on Fly on a Windshield and Arrival. O
ne moment of distraction; at the conclusion of Cuckoo Cocoon, Gabriel finishes his
final flute phrase a bar early, and quickly repeats it. He then misses the first ly
rics of 'In the Cage'.

The British audiences were some of the most enthusiastic of the Lamb tour (rivalled
 only by the Italians, who sadly only got that one show at Torino). Not only did th
e band extend their improvisations, but Gabriel responded with elaborating and humo
urising his stories, to which the crowd respond energetically. There are some great
 interactions; I love his "...a huge roar on my right" at which a few members of th
e crowd (presumably on his right :-) roar!

There is another noteworthy moment in Counting Out Time; during this song (as for t
he whole concert), slides were thrown onto 3 projection screens behind the band. So
me images during this song show diagrams of female anatomy with arrows and numbers
pointing out relevant parts. The audience can be heard laughing at these as Gabriel
 sings "...digesting every word the experts say" (about 36 secs into the track). Th
ere is also some audible amazement during 'Arrival' as Gabriel appears as the Slipp
erman.

The source:

This show has not been commercially bootlegged, and has only been circulating among
 traders either on CDRs from Colin's masters, or low generation tapes. Hence, altho
ugh it is one of the better recordings and performances of the Lamb, it has not bee
n widely known.

Colin recorded the concert on 2 Maxell C120 Low noise cassettes. He captured the en
tire concert, flipping the tape during the applause at the end of Chamber of 32 Doo
rs, and again during the beginning of Arrival. I have edited some applause into the
 first flip, and taken a section from Colin's recording of the 28th to patch the in
tro of Arrival (it is interesting how similar Hackett & Colin's 'improvisation' is
one night to the other). I have then chosen to place the edit between CDs at the en
d of Waiting Room - not only does this give 2 discs under 70 mins (preferable for d
uplicating), but it allows me to include the full recording of the audience calling
 for a second encore at the conclusion of the concert.

The restoration:

Due to this recording coming from a low noise tape, the treble was a little muted.
On the CDR of this show that has been in circulation, the tops are boosted consider
ably, giving a rather hissy recording. So the challenge (as often the case) was to
attenuate this hiss while keeping the treble detail. The result (I hope you'll agre
e) is an open and clear recording with considerable top end detail. There are a few
 moments when lack of detail in the master leads to a graininess in the treble. Sor
ry, but there just wasn't much there, and to smooth it off would remove what subtle
ty was to be heard in Phil's drumming. I've chosen to preserve as much as I could o
f the music, at the expense of 'textbook' audio.

The bass end of this recording is lovely and rich, showing Rutherford's bass and pe
dal work. If you're a Rutherford fan, this is the lamb show for you. If anything I
have had to soften the bass off a little, but otherwise the equalisation balance on
 the master was very natural.

The recording was made on a machine with automatic record levels, so I have manuall
y restored the true volume dynamics. For instance; if you have the original version
 of this, you'll notice that Tony's solo keyboard intro at the beginning of the con
cert gets louder, until Peter's "And the Lamb..." and Phil's first drum splash knoc
ks the levels down again. I have reconstructed these levels to sound more natural,
and the rest of the band now come in powerfully as they should do. Fortunately the
response of the auto record was quite long, 10-15 secs before responding to a quiet
er section in the music, so the short-time dynamics, the 'punch' of the recording,
are not affected.

Lastly, the tape was in mono. I have added subtle early reflections to add depth an
d space to the final sound. If you're listening on headphones, you may notice the e
ffect, but the stereo field is still predominantly centralised.

Memories of the show, by Colin Dodd.

When Genesis arrived in Manchester for two nights at the Palace Theatre time had ne
arly run out for the classic Banks, Collins, Gabriel, Hackett and Rutherford line-u
p. At the time, of course, we had no idea that Peter Gabriel had already decided to
 leave the band and that once the few remaining dates of the tour had been honoured
 he would no longer be a member of Genesis.

To us in the UK this was a long overdue chance to see Genesis playing on home soil
again. The many who had scrambled to get tickets for the original British dates had
 been frustrated to see the tour cancelled when Steve Hackett severed a tendon in h
is hand. To rub salt into the wound tickets had to be returned to the venue for a r
efund and then re-issued for the new dates a couple of months later.  Actually, whi
le this may have been an inconvenience for most it was a blessing in disguise for u
s as our original seats, obtained by postal application to the theatre, had been at
 the back of the top balcony. However, with the band more popular than ever, there
were only two ways of ensuring better seats: paying a hugely inflated price to a to
ut or all-night queuing. To a bunch of school kids, not exactly overburdened with t
he folding stuff, the first wasn't an option, so we took the cheaper, if slightly m
ore uncomfortable option, of spending a long, sleepless night sitting on a freezing
 pavement outside the theatre. Or rather I did as the rest of our crew all cried of
f at the last minute with various implausible excuses. Actually, despite it being o
ne of the coldest nights of the year, it was a pretty enjoyable night. Anyone who h
as ever done this will know of that certain camaraderie that develops among the mem
bers of the queue, probably because everyone there is indeed as sad and hopelessly
obsessed as each other.

Despite a late scare when a large contingent of late-comers arrived at dawn and tri
ed to jump the queue I eventually emerged victorious from the box office clutching
four tickets for each of the two shows. Bleary-eyed I caught the train back home wi
th a smile on my face. Everything was indeed wonderful with the world, except maybe
 for the fact that I still had to convince school that I really had been so ill on
the Monday morning that I had been unable to phone in sick.

On the night of the gig we arrived in Manchester in good time. A few pints has alwa
ys been a part of the pre-gig ritual and we duly settled down in the pub just acros
s Oxford Road from the theatre and waited for the doors to open.  From the outside
the Palace doesn't promise much, with its plain tile covered walls. Those who have
Gentle Giant's live 'Playing the Fool' album will be familiar with its exterior as
it appears twice on the sleeve. Quite why I have never understood as the Giant neve
r played there, always preferring the Free Trade Hall on their visits to Manchester
. Inside, however, is a different story. The Palace is a classic British Victorian
theatre, all dark polished mahogany and red velvet seats. A lovely venue, but one t
hat has fallen out of favour for rock gigs these days, visiting bands seemingly pre
ferring the much inferior Apollo.

At seven thirty the doors were opened. We finished our pints and headed across the
road to the theatre. I had decided to record both nights, so the first problem was
getting the recorder past the security on the door. Anyone who was around at that t
ime will remember that the Army and RAF greatcoats were an essential part of the dr
ess code, indeed one was de rigueur for the weekend hippie about town. Thankfully y
ou could have hidden a small recording studio under their generous cut, so a small
cassette recorder proved no problem. I wish that I could remember which model it wa
s for those who care about such things; all I can remember is that it was a Philips
 machine and it's model number began with a N. It had automatic record level and a
built in mic, which might sound horrific now, but in those early days of recording
gigs had some distinct advantages. I had previously tried taping on a couple of occ
asions with my previous machine, another Philips with manual recording level. Sadly
 both attempts, Genesis in Manchester on the Selling England tour and Camel a coupl
e of months later, had been total disasters. Although the machine had a crude VU me
ter it had not occurred to me that it would be wildly inaccurate and next to imposs
ible to see in the darkness of the theatre. After listening to the results, which a
mounted to little more than several hours of distortion, I plumped for an auto reco
rd level machine for future taping. Actually considering that it was a very basic m
achine by modern standards I got some fairly good results from it. It served me wel
l until just after the Earls Court gigs two years later and then went the way of al
l things.

After negotiating security next stop was the merchandise stall. Some nice t-shirts
featuring an impressive Genesis logo made up from various animals and birds, some p
retty crappy t-shirts featuring another somewhat less inspired design and programme
s. The badges featuring the animal and bird logo had apparently all been sold by th
e time the tour reached Manchester, lucky that a friend picked up one for me at Liv
erpool.

So we settled down, loaded the recorder with a Philips C-120 (more about them in th
e notes on the following night) and waited. And waited. And waited. Another endurin
g memory from gigs in those days was the number of times that the start was delayed
 due to 'technical problems'. In the spirit of the times we amused ourselves by joi
ning in the 'Wally' chorus. A word of explanation here for those not versed in the
ways of UK gigs in the Seventies. This was another part of the pre-gig ritual, afte
r the beer, the merchandise and maybe a puff or two of weed. Simply some wag yelled
 'Wally' as loud as they could and waited a few seconds to hear a chorus of several
 hundred other calling 'Wally' in reply. More join in and eventually a good part of
 the audience is yelling 'Wally' at each other. This was then repeated ad nauseum u
ntil everyone was completely bored with it all, which in my experience used to take
 several hours. Need they look any further for proof of the detrimental effects of
drug and alcohol abuse?

But as soon as the lights go down any delays were forgotten. Manchester audiences h
ave always been one of the noisiest, liveliest and most vociferous in Britain and t
onight they were clearly up for it.  A single spotlight picked out Tony Banks as he
 played the piano introduction, slides of the New York skyline came into focus on t
he three large screens at the back of the stage, the rest of the band kicked in and
 we were away. Immediately the changes from the last tour were obvious. Peter, dres
sed in jeans, tee shirt and leather jacket, prowled the stage, spitting out the wor
ds and gesturing at the front rows. Gone was the slightly mysterious figure of prev
ious tours as he assumed the persona of Rael for the next couple of hours. Gone too
 were the continuous costume changes, which for me at least was good news. I may be
 alone in this but I always had mixed feelings about the costumes. I didn't mind th
e Fox Head when it was introduced, despite it being a somewhat cynical attempt at a
ttracting publicity. It had great shock value, because at the time no one expected
it. On the Autumn 72 tour supporting Lindisfarne it was amusing to watch the puzzle
d faces as Peter, already striking enough with shaved forehead, make-up and an elab
orate necklace, left the stage only to return in a red dress and fox head. But by t
he time of the Selling England tour it had, to me at least, got a bit out of hand,
as one costume change followed another and the visuals began to take over from the
music, at least in the eyes of the media. The surprise and the shock value had gone
.

Instead tonight we were seeing a different kind of visual presentation as the story
 is echoed by ever changing slides on the backdrop screens. They had used back proj
ections on the Selling England tour, but this time they were much more fully realis
ed and tied in with the music, whereas previously they had been largely unrelated i
mages. It's easy to forget how groundbreaking this was at the time; slides and proj
ections had been used before of course, primarily by a lot of the psychedelic bands
 some seven or eight years earlier. However, no one had really developed the idea b
eyond flashing the odd slide onto a backdrop or the oil wheels beloved of early Flo
yd and Jefferson Airplane. Other than the change to a white body stocking for "The
Lamia' the only costume in the show was the somewhat controversial Slipperman. Cont
roversial of course because the rest of the band have subsequently claimed that Pet
er's vocals were impaired by it, but for shock value it was well worth it. There we
re a number of noticeable gasps from the audience as Peter emerged through a plasti
c tunnel and it was all the more effective for being the one costume change in the
show.

Although probably not my favourite tour from the Gabriel era, there is no doubt the
 Lamb represents the pinnacle of the band's achievements in terms of stage presenta
tion. And there is no doubt who was the star of the show. In hindsight it's easy to
 see how the resentment from the other members of the band grew at this time. The h
ardcore fans understood the extent of their contributions, but on stage there was o
nly one place that the audience's attention was focussed. If Peter had a slightly b
igger influence over the direction and writing of the album than Tony, Mike, Phil o
r Steve might have wanted, it was on stage that he really took over. Peter has gone
 on record as saying that he felt he had assumed as much control of the band as he
thought he could get away with by this point, and it was not hard to see exactly wh
at he meant.

It's hard to try to pick out musical highlights, the Lamb has always existed as one
 piece of music for me, rather than a lot of individual tracks, but special mention
 must go to 'The Waiting Room', which built and improved on the studio version. Gen
esis live were always very structured with little room for improvisation but here t
hey let go just a little. In fact the overall impression on the night was that the
whole piece sounded stronger and more powerful on stage, but then by their own admi
ssion Genesis always did struggle to recreate their live impact in the studio. All
too soon the band were concluding the set, launching into 'it', the final number. T
he old International Times logo flashed onto the screens and among the strobe light
s we could just make out two Peter Gabriels, one on either side of the stage. The d
ummy Peter was an inspired idea bearing in mind the conclusion of the Lamb story, e
ven if the roadies did occasionally pull practical jokes by standing in for him.

The conclusion of the set brought the crowd to their feet, baying for more and the
band eventually returned to great cheers as Peter begun his long introduction to 'T
he Musical Box'.  After a whole set of new material everyone was keen to hear a few
 of the old classics and they finished the number to riotous applause and left the
stage for a second time. Those of us who had read the reports from the US and Europ
ean gigs in NME, Melody Maker and Sounds knew that we still had 'Watcher of the Ski
es' to look forward to, but after five minutes of deafening applause and calls for
more some doubt began to creep in. Eventually we were told that due to the late sta
rt the show had run over the eleven o'clock curfew and there could be no more. No o
ne was impressed by this piece of archaic legislation, still in force as far as I a
m aware, which rules that live music must cease by 11pm on a Sunday. As it was we h
ung on until it was obvious that it really was all over, raving about what we have
seen, cursing whoever it was that introduced Sunday cut-offs, but happy in the know
ledge that we would be back again to see it all again tomorrow.

And the recording? Well if you are reading this there is a good chance that you alr
eady have, or are soon to get, a copy of the Hogweeds version of this show. I'm qui
te pleased with the way the tape came out. The acoustics in the Palace were always
good and there isn't too much of the theatre's ambience in evidence. Overall it was
 one of the better recordings I did with that machine and the tapes seem to have st
ood up to the time of time pretty well. Enjoy!


Genesis - Palace Theatre, Manchester, UK, Apr. 28, 1975, Hogweed #8

Notes:

HW08

Palace Theatre, Manchester, 28th April 1975

This is the second of the two nights Genesis played at Manchester on the latter par
t of the UK Lamb tour, and also comes from Colin Dodd's tapes of the evening's perf
ormance.

There is not really a lot to say about this remaster that I haven't said in my note
s for HW02; the 1st of the Manchester concerts. The performance as ever was exempla
ry, with an awesome extended Waiting Room (Peter adding vocals), and the second enc
ore with Watcher of the Skies.

The master tapes of this evening are, if anything, slightly brighter than those of
the 27th, which may be just an example of how tapes degrade inconsistently over tim
e rather than anything in the original recording itself. The tapes (two Phillips C1
20s) were flipped during the applause after Chamber of 32 Doors, and when the first
 tape runs out about a minute into 'it!'. I have patched the applause in the first
flip, but as Colin mentions in his comments, the second flip caused more of a probl
em...

The tape speed wobbles that are present on the second tape are quite extreme to beg
in with, 'it!' is pretty unlistenable. 'The Musical Box' also has this regular lift
 in pitch, from the tape slowing, 'grabbing', during recording, although as the tap
e progresses the problem eases. On Colin's original transcription of his tape, whic
h has been circulating on CDR, he only replaces 'it!', so you can hear the problems
 that remain on 'Musical Box'.

I have chosen to totally replace both 'it!' and 'Musical Box' for this remaster. Du
ring the audience interactions between songs, these speed wobbles are not apparent.
 So I have retained the audience sections; the applause after 'it!' and Peter's int
ro to Musical Box, and the applause between MB and 'Watcher'. You can still hear th
e pitch instabilities slightly during Watcher, but of course, it is a feature of th
is evenings concert, being the encore that was missed the previous night.

As with HW02, I have made a new transcription of Colin's master tapes, optimising f
or mono. I have then denoised the recording and lifted the treble out a bit more. T
he bass was nice and strong, and there was no need for eq balancing. Early reflecti
ons were added to the final audio to open up the mono soundstage a little.

As with the 1st Manchester recording, I have had to place the disc side edit betwee
n Waiting Room and Anyway, to give 2 discs of roughly equal length. This annoys the
 hell out of at least one friend of mine, who likes to hear the whole of the 3rd &
4th parts of the Lamb uninterrupted. All I can say in my defence is that I agree on
 aesthetic grounds, but considering that audio versions of these discs will be weed
ed on from one person to another, having 80 min discs is inviting copy errors. Also
, with this recording featuring 'Watcher', it would have overshot the 80min mark an
yway.

The artwork for this release comes from Kryzsztoph Welian once again, who designed
the cover to companion the earlier Manchester recording. Spot the differences :-))

Genesis
Palace Theatre, Manchester, 28 April 1975
Notes by Colin Dodd

Take a little trip back. Not in this instance with Father Tieresius, but instead with
 Father Time. Back to late August of 1975, Thursday 21 August to be exact, the day
the news broke of Peter Gabriel's departure from Genesis. I can recall the date so
precisely as it was the day before the start of that year's Reading Festival and a
friend and I were finishing getting our things together before setting out on the j
ourney South. Before catching the train we dropped in at the newsagents to pick up
the music papers, which came out each Thursday. The day had been going pretty well
so far as we looked forward to three days of sex (unlikely), drugs (possibly) and r
ock and roll (definitely). It was about to take a turn for the worse.

Staring up
 from the front page of the Melody Maker was the headline we had been dreading: 'Ge
nesis Seek New Singer'. So the rumours had been true. The MM had carried a front-pa
ge story some months before fueling speculation that Peter had quit the band follow
ing the completion of the Lamb tour. It was denied of course but even though we kne
w nothing of the tensions within the band at the time there was a feeling that ther
e might be more to this than their management were admitting.

Throughout the wee
kend there was a lot of talk of the split and much debate on the future of the band
 without Peter. We were all still young and naive enough to believe that all bands
were created in the image of the Beatles in Hard Days Night. They all lived togethe
r, were the best of mates and liked nothing more than making music together. Everyb
ody loved them; they got filthy rich and lived happily ever after. Well maybe we we
ren't quite that naive but it was still a mystery why anyone would want to leave th
e band at this stage of their career when they seemed on the verge of achieving the
 success they had worked so hard for.

So in hindsight this second of their two n
ights in Manchester would be the final time we would see the classic line-up togeth
er. For that reason alone there is a certain poignancy attached to this show: this
was the end of an era for the band and for me at least Genesis would never be quite
 so special again.  They would still make some fine music together, but with Peter
out of the band the pioneering spirit went with him and the slow but sure shift tow
ards the mainstream began.

Again we had decided to record the show so the first
task of the night was to negotiate the security on the door. A quick check at the m
erchandise stall and we took our seats and readied the recorder.  Thankfully tonigh
t there were no technical problems and the show started on time. Comparing the two
nights at the Palace from a musical perspective would be nigh on impossible. Things
 were extremely well-drilled by this stage of the tour and despite the band's claim
s that only a handful of shows went without a hitch everything seemed fine from the
 audience. I don't even recall Peter forgetting his lines at this one.

The added bonus was that this time we did get the second encore of 'Watcher of the Skies'
. The previous night's late start had meant that the show overran the Sunday night
curfew time and the band had only been allowed to play a single encore. 'Watcher' w
as always one of their most dramatic live songs and this was possibly the finest ve
rsion I remember seeing them do. A perfect meeting of the music and theatrics that
conjured up an atmosphere that no recording could ever hope to capture. A truly maj
estic performance and a suitable memory of the final time we would see this line-up
 together.

Sadly the recording didnt run quite as smoothly as the gig. Calculati
ng the time remaining on cassette tapes was always an inexact science and unfortuna
tely the tape ran out a couple of minutes before the end of 'it!' If that wasn't ba
d enough I then fell foul of the curse of the Philips C-120. Anyone who was taping
shows at the time will remember these. On the face of it they were ideal for the jo
b, giving a full hour between tape flips. However, the motor used in the average ca
ssette recorder just wasn't up to pulling that amount of tape with any degree of ac
curacy.  You only needed to get a tape that was a little tight and you were in trou
ble. The result was that the first twenty minutes or so of the new tape suffered fr
om speed fluctuations, the remainder of 'it!' and most of 'The Musical Box' being r
endered unusable. For this remaster Andrew has decided to replace both these tracks
 with the versions from my recording of the previous night. Thankfully by 'Watcher'
 the tape was running okay again.

Overall, these problems aside, I'm pretty happ
y with the results. The recorder was fairly basic by modern standards but did a dec
ent enough job in capturing what was happening on stage.


Genesis - Hippodrome, Birmingham, England, May 1, 1975, Hogweed #11

Notes:

HW11

Hippodrome, Birmingham, England. 1st May 1975

This was the first of two
evenings that Genesis played their Lamb show at the Hippodrome. The second night's
gig has been widely known since from an excellent audience recording, originally in
 circulation as the TAKRL double vinyl boot 'Swelled and Spent', and variously reis
sued on CD, culminating recently in the FAde project's debut release, FAde01.

Shortly after I established the Hogweeds project I was contacted by a member offerin
g a previously untraded tape of this 2nd May show. Upon receiving a copy of this ne
w recording, I was delighted to conclude that this was not only a new recording, bu
t that it was of a previously unknown show. 

I attempted first to confirm with t
he taper the date of the recording, but was told that he had attended several Lamb
shows in the UK, and whilst he held a ticket stub from the 2nd May performance, he
could not say for sure that the recording originated from that performance. He was
not too confident about his memory :-)

Comparing this recording with others, a f
ew things stand out. Firstly it includes a performance of The Knife, indicating it
was one of the last shows of the UK tour, as previously they had played 'Watcher' a
s the second encore. For instance there is a recording of the Bristol show on the 3
0th, and 'Watcher' was played there. 

Secondly, Peter's 2nd Rael story is very s
imilar to the Bristol show, and also to the 2nd May Birmingham performance.

As mentioned in the notes for FAde's release, the 2nd May recording has always been at
tributed to that date, but there is no conclusive proof that this is the case. It m
ay also be the 1st May show. Equally, it is only the taper's memory that this new r
ecording was made on the second night, and could equally be the first. I did send a
 copy to someone who attended the 1st May show, and they concured that at the very
least it was certainly a Birmingham date. 

In the absence of any indication eith
er way, I am concluding that this new recording is the performance of the 1st May,
and thus avoiding all the confusions that would ensue from trying to argue for a re
-accrediting of the more well-known recording. But in all possibilty, either record
ing could be either night. 

Having established this recording's authenticity, I
requested permission to remaster and release it, which the taper granted. Subsequen
tly I received the master tapes, and it is from them I have made this remaster. I s
hould also mention that the original CDR transcription that I recieved has recently
 found its way into a few people's hands, however it does have a few problems on it
, which have been corrected on this version. 

The tape itself is quite good mono
, I think most traders would grade it as a B, and more towards a B+ than B-. It is
a little muffled and lacking detail, but on the plus side, has little distortion or
 tape saturation, and documents nearly the complete show. 

Beginning with a new
transcription from the masters (pitched correctly - I think the original transcript
ion was a bit fast), I have then carefully denoised the recording. As usually with
my approach to denoising, you will still hear tape hiss, but the treble is much bri
ghter and sharper than on the original tape, while the hiss levels should be notabl
y attenuated. The eq balance was fairly OK, although as is usual with a lot of old
amateur recordings, the lower mid-range was a bit boxy, and so I've softened it off
 a little. 

One major problem with this recording was microphone bumps. The mic
was hand held, or at least in a position where it could easily be tapped. And it wa
s, frequently. I have gone through this recording and removed each bump, one by one
. There are a few that are still present, because it was too difficult to isolate t
hem from louder sections of the music. But most of them were in quiet sections, qui
te a few being taps in time with the music. Someone was enjoying the gig :-)

One other problem I haven't been able to do anything about is pitch drops during Chamb
er of 32 Doors and Lilywhite Lilith. These seem to occur at the same physical secti
ons of the tape on the A & B sides, and I'm guessing that maybe the tape has been s
tretched in these places. By contrast, battery or voltage instabilities, or the tap
e grabbing, would cause pitch surges. 

The recording documents nearly the comple
te show. There is a tape flip at the beginning of 'Carpet Crawlers', and the first
few seconds is missing there. But the tape runs out about a minute into 'Lamia', an
d only picks up again at the beginning of 'Silent Sorrow'. In both these instances,
 I have patched the show using excerpts from the Colston Hall, Bristol, tape of the
 30th April. This recording has a similar B+ sound quality to this tape, and blends
in reasonably well, although you'll notice the join on 'Lamia' if not 'Carpet Craw
lers'.

Finally, and you'll hear this yourself - this is a cracker show. Enjoy :-

Birmingham Hippodrome 1st May 1975

Hot on the heels of the previous two nights
 performances at the Colston Hall, Bristol, it was a trip north to Birmingham for t
he last two dates of the UK leg of the European tour.  The cosy confines of the 2,0
00 plus seat Colston Hall was an ideal environment for the sophisticated visuals of
 the Lamb production, and the Birmingham Hippodrome offered a similar ideal size ve
nue tailor-made for all to witness perhaps the most ambitious rock theatre to hit t
he road thus far.

The band without doubt were hitting peaks with an assured stre
ngth of purpose in their playing with over 90 Lamb performances behind them at this
 time. The closing dates of the UK tour saw the band high on confidence and giving
their best musically.

I can't emphasize enough what a joy it was to fully take i
n the nuances of the three screen visual production with its hundreds of myriad ima
ges flashing sometimes across all three, the occasional animation, all gloriously o
n view for everyone to be drawn into and fall under the spell. The opening wide-scr
een Manhattan dawn skyline with Tony's piano commencing the show sent shivers down
the spine in anticipation of what was to come. Those of us fortunate enough to catc
h earlier shows on the tour knew what to expect and it was now time to fully take i
n the combined musical/visual production and relive once more the Rael saga. Cuckoo
 Cocoon with PG lying in front of Tony's keyboards playing flute; the swagger and d
ynamism of Back in NYC, including the exploding hurled Molotov; the first real gasp
s of the audience with the swirling Lamia guise. Highlight musically was the radica
l Waiting Room with the piece taking a slightly different direction each playing. T
his evening's version was a gem. To add to the drama of the piece PG would appear s
ilhouetted on the centre screen dancing grotesquely with what appeared enormous fin
gers almost embracing the entire stage. Stunning! 

Over two hours had quickly pa
st before we are treated to the old favourites Musical Box and The Knife. Another g
reat Lamb show and best of all, another show to look forward to the following night

iLineage: Master tape > Audiophile 2498 > Peak 4.0 > from my closet to you! BIG Thanks
to YEESHKUL for everything. This is my first torrent here, I have only been on DIME a
bout 3 months, so I am still new at all this. Someone here had requested this one, so
 I dug it out. Please rate it, I need some feedback. I am on DSL, I will keep it goin
g as long as i can, Thanks for your patience.

No remastering done, please keep it
that way. Very few glitches, I cut some crowd noise. Do not encode to lossy formats.
An everlasting Curse upon anyone who sells this show, set the music FREE!!!

I have
 decided to start releasing some of my masters again, digging through my tape closet
this one caught my eye. Great show, a little muddy at first but it gets better quickl
y as the crowd settles down. It's not perfect, I taped it using a Sony Walkman record
er (that was the best I had back then), but most of the sound came out pretty clean (
8 or 9 in my scale). I had forgotton how good that '84 tour was. I think it's worthy
just because of the 10-1/2 minutes of Mihalis alone (plus the Metaphysical instrument
al is really cool), but that's jut my humble tapers opinion...^M^Menjoy!^M^MPingmon^M
^MPS- This torrent is dedicated to the girl from work I took to the show, who was fir
ed because she did not make it to work the next day. I forget her name, but she was c
ool, I hope a copy of this recording finds it's way to her somehow... cheers!

David Gilmour - Radio City Music Hall, NYC, Apr. 4, 2006

Notes:

DAVID GILMOUR
Radio City Music Hall, New York, NY
April 4, 2006

With special thanks to Dan Lynch who graciously permitted me to use his fine recording as a
patch for the first four songs that I missed when the box office kept me waiting over an hour to
locate my "missing" but paid for tickets.  I like the sound of Dan's recording as do some 1500+
of you.  I have not edited these tracks, nor played with their sound in any way.  I did this so you
will notice the difference when the recording switches at the start of track 5 from Dan's core
sound mic's to my Schoeps.  You will note some noise within the first ten seconds of Track 5 ...
that is me setting up my mic's as I arrived at my seat ... you are going to have to remember this
was a "stealth" recording, but you will not hear much hiss or crowd noise on my recording.

My second special thank you to my friend (who will remain nameless here, but he knows who he
is) who set me up with excellent seats 9 rows in front of the soundboard, directly on the center
line. You will definitely hear the stereo separation of channels on my recording.  Moreover, the
crowd was extremely mature and cooperative where I was sitting, thus there are very few unruly
disturbances in this recording.

This is a whole new world for me, thus the delay in getting this uploaded here at the Dime.  I've
invested in a whole bunch of new equipment, making the best sound I knew even better.  I've
moved up to the Sound Devices 744T hard drive recorder.  For those who don't know this is a
four track hard drive machine that records in 24 bit at 96 KHz.  What this means is that I have a
master recording that captures far more sound and quality than standard 16 bit recordings which
we are all accustomed to.  The downside is, that the quality of my new recordings exceed the
capacity of my old studio's computer, so I had to acquire a whole new computer for the studio
with which to process the recording.  This in turn led to a whole new learning process with
updated versions of software I had used for years ... (why can't they leave things somewhat
similar when you upgrade) ... anyway, after about two weeks of playing around, I have finally
figured out most of it and can now take the 24/96 recording and mix it down to a 16/44.1
recording for use in almost all consumer CD players, and most importantly, for upload here at the
Dime.

(What I still don't know is how to make use of the 24/96 recording, other than to save it as data
on a DVD for my archive, as a backup.  My computer will not burn a 24/96 DVD, though I am
told it will make a 24/48 DVD that can play high quality sound on a consumer DVD player or a
computers DVD drive.  For those tech people still reading I need advice/suggestions on software
that will index/track & burn 24/96 or 24/48, for DVD listening, and so that I may also upload
such 24 bit tracks for those capable of using it  - please PM me with your ideas, suggestions, etc.)


Anyway here's the lineage:

Recorded 9 rows FOB & DFC.

Recorded, Extracted and Edited by TaperAdvocat, uploaded to the Dime on April 15, 2006.

Hope you all enjoy this recording as much as I do.  Please let me know what you think.  And
most importantly, share it freely with your loved ones and friends.

May those who try to sell or otherwise profit from my recording be cursed with all the bad karma
that you justly deserve.  This means you Middle Valley, VGP & all you other scum sucking
bootleggers who profit from my recordings.  We will find you and we will put you out of
business.

Steve Goodman - The Bottom Line, NYC, Oct. 10, 1977, FM

Notes:

Steve Goodman
The Bottom Line
New York City
10/10/77

This is an upgraded version of the wonderful October 10, 1977 Bottom Line show
as broadcast over WNEW-FM.  Steve is joined by Jethro Burns, Saul Broudy and
Steve Burgh on this set.  This version eliminates some of the warble, tape drag and
speed problems from the version currently circulating.  It, too, comes from a first
generation reel to reel but does exhibit some tape hiss that I have chosen NOT to
remove for two reasons: 1) I'm not adept at it, and 2) I wanted to avoid the artifac
ts
that are typically introduced from this sort of alteration.

Grateful Dead - Original Aoxomoxoa Mix (9/69-3/69)

Notes:

Grateful Dead
9-68 to 3-69
Pacific Recording Studios - San Mateo, CA

Source: Ampex 16-track tape > LP > 24-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV > 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV > SH

A>D transfer: Linn LP12/Lingo turntable, Linn Ittok tonearm, Lyra Helikon cartridge

d

This is the original mix of Aoxomoxoa, which was released commercially between June
 1969 and late 1971.
In September, 1971, Jerry Garcia did a major remix of the entire album, eliminating
 a considerable amount
of the backing material and trimming the beginning and end of a few songs. The LPs,
 cassettes, and CDs
available commercially since that time contain the remix. There appear to be no pla
ns to commercially release
this original mix, so it is being made available to the broader community.

To sustain the ethical integrity of this process, please do not download these file
s unless you are already in
possession of a commercial release of Aoxomoxoa and would like to compare it with t
he original mix.

The LP copy from which this was derived is in VG condition, and the analog equipmen
t used to extract the
sound from the grooves is near state of the art. There is some minor surface noise
audible in the quietest passages,
but not obtrusive even then, and almost no tracking distortion.

Notes:

JON DEE GRAHAM AND THE FIGHTING COCKS
FITZGERALD'S AMERICAN MUSIC FESTIVAL
JULY 2, 2006
BERWYN, ILLINOIS

I met up with the west coast boys in Chicago and we were treated to 4 nights of grea
t music at Bill Fitzgerald's AMF in Berwyn. The venue, food, booze, people and music
ians were all fantastic. One of the best times I've had in recent memory. Managed to
 record a few of the artists, and will start out with Jon Dee, who IMO is just incre
dible.

Special thanks to Briggs for convincing me to make the trip.
Dedicated to PolkSaladSean.

02 Der LSD-Marsch
03 Bo Diddley
04 Spaceship

CDR>Soundforge>dB PowerAmp music converter

Like the Kraftwerk disc currently being torrented this recording came from the Radio
 Bremen archive.  Judging by the programme intro the radio show was called Jazz Conc
ert, presumably the Kraftwerk one came from the same radio series.  Can anyone trans
late the intro for us English speakers?  The same info is given at the end of Spaces
hip.


Arlo Guthrie


Arlo Guthrie - Bob Fass Show, NYC, 1966-1967

Notes:

Arlo Guthrie

1 THE BOB FASS SHOW - WBAI-FM - NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 27, 1966

Alice's Restaurant

Notes: Mono radio broadcast recording. A newly re-tooled "Alice's Restaurant" makes one of its
earliest appearances on Pacifica radio. I have also seen this tape listed as dating from 2/27/6
7 which is certainly possible... In any event, this tape is highly recommended!

2 THE BOB FASS SHOW - WBAI-FM - NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK - MAY 1967

Alice's Restaurant Multi-Colored Rainbow Roach Affair (Piano-backed version)

Notes:
Mono radio broadcast recording. Arlo joins host Fass and Ramblin' Jack Elliott for a freewheeli
n' late night session on Pacifica radio. Recommended!

I d/l these two tracks from usenet.  I believe that they may be identified as above.

These details were obtained from http://www.arlo.net/registry/60s.shtml
