Curved Air/UK 1972

After the release of their masterpiece “PHANTASMAGORIA” in 1972, the band appeared at the annual festival “Reading Festival” in the UK on August 11th, and this 68-minute master quality audience recording is a nearly complete recording. First of all, this recording was recorded on-site by a Japanese record company staff member at the time for record purposes, and the sound of the original master cassette was directly converted into a CD, and was recorded for reference purposes from the seats of the people involved, so considering the era, it is of amazing quality. And this year’s Reading saw 32 acts participate over three days, and they appeared on the first day, and were the headliners with Genesis as the opening act. And the live performance was the epitome of 70’s British prog, and the band’s potential with Mike Wedgwood was the same as the masterpiece “PHANTASMAGORIA”. With their accomplished musical skills, they perform numbers from the first three albums one after another, and fans should also check out the album, which includes songs such as “Phantasmagoria,” “Over and Above,” “Melinda (More or Less),” and “Piece of Mind,” which were not included on the official live shows from the Daryl Way era, “CURVED AIR LIVE” and “LIVE AT THE BBC.” Richfield Avenue, Reading, UK 11th August 1972 1.
