Description
The oldest legendary recording of the young guitarist Crazy, who was only 20 years old at the time, has been re-digitized from the original cassette. This is a detailed mastering of “G.RAF ZEPPELIN” that is worthy of the 50th anniversary. This work is engraved with the “London performance on July 16, 1972”. It is an audience recording recorded at the traditional venue “Lyceum Theatre”. Gary debuted as a member of SKID ROW, but left the band in 1971. He formed THE GARY MOORE BAND, named after himself. It was a time when little attention was paid to anything other than the album “GRINDING STONE”, so let’s start by unraveling his journey. 1972 8th + 28th February: UK #1 (2 shows) 23rd March – 26th May: UK #2 (26 shows) 16th July – 7th September: UK #3 (6 shows) ←★Here★ 10th October: West Bromwich show 1973 {Formed a trio with Pierce Kelly & John Curtis?} 》・March 9th + April 7th: UK #4 (2 shows)《GRINDING STONE released in May》・May 11th: Newcastle show *June 28th: Guest appearance in THIN LIZZY・June 29th + July 19th: London (2 shows) *July 22nd: Guest appearance in THIN LIZZY・August 5th – November 5th: UK #5 (8 shows)・November 9th – 11th: West Germany (3 shows)・December 30th: London showThis is Gary Moore in 1972/1973. The new band started in early 1972 and was active until the end of 1973. In 1974, Gary joined THIN LIZZY and the band broke up. The band started as a five-person group with twin guitars, but transitioned to a trio during the production of the album GRINDING STONE. There are various theories about the timing, but the above is summarized as “early 1973”, which is the established theory. Among them, the performance at the Lyceum Theatre of this work was about a year before the release of “GRINDING STONE”. It was a concert on the first day of “UK # 3”. This work, which vacuum-packed such a scene, is an exquisite original recording. It was recorded by a Japanese record company staff who went to the UK at that time. It is a genuine product that was digitized directly from the original cassette. In fact, the sound is very neat and fresh. It is undoubtedly an audience recording that has absorbed the air, but the core is powerful and the details are clear. And because it is the original master, there are no dubbing marks, and every corner of the sound is beautiful and glossy. Furthermore, the digitization using the latest equipment is also excellent. It first appeared on the Langley label about 10 years ago, but the accuracy of analog transcription is completely different from that time. I was surprised again that the sound absorbed into the master tape was so rich. Such a rich sound depicts Gary Moore’s oldest live performance. All the records from that time are valuable, so let’s first organize the set. Grinding Stone (3 songs), Time To Heal, Boogie My Way Back Home, Spirit, Others (4 songs), Serves You Right To Suffer (John Lee Hooker), Born Under A Bad Sign (Albert King), Key To The Highway (Big Bill Broonzy), Unknown … and so on. The set is centered around the three songs that will be included in “GRINDING STONE”, and is sprinkled with blues standards. The selection and style are straight blues, and he is especially full of admiration for the West Side school. Although he has not yet evolved his own style, you can enjoy the squeeze guitar that is the foundation of it. And his sense. He has not yet had the awakening of COLOSSEUM II, so he is not a bomb, but his improvisational flashes and emotional expression are already Gary himself. In the later blues era, he would occasionally repeat that “the Irish are black people in Europe,” but in this work, Gary seems to be a young black man born in Chicago. In any case, it is the “pinnacle” of a historical and beautiful cultural heritage. At that time, Gary Moore was just a young man with the title of “former SKID ROW.” In 1972, he had no idea that he would later become famous as a guitar crazy, but he left such a wonderful record. This is the 50th anniversary edition of such a one-of-a-kind recording, digitized with the best of archiving technology in 2022. Remastering Memo This time, it has been newly digitized and mastered from the cassette. Some bandwidth correction has been done, but no excessive EQ processing has been done. The sound quality is extremely good. Audience recording of “Lyceum Theatre on July 16, 1972”. This is a masterpiece that “GRAF ZEPPELIN” re-digitized from the original cassette recorded by a Japanese record company staff member who went to the UK. The core is strong, the details are clear, and the sound is neat and fresh. Gary Moore’s earliest live performance, recorded when he was just twenty years old, is youthful yet exudes a genuine admiration for Chicago blues. This legendary album is nothing less than a cultural heritage, with plenty of squeeze guitar straight from the West Side School. This is the best version.
