Genesis Genesis/Germany 06.29.1976 Complete Upgrade

The “A TRICK OF THE TAIL Tour” featured a dream team led by virtuoso Bill Bruford. A new soundboard album has been unearthed, capturing the miraculous ensemble in your brain! The highest-quality matrix master, crafted with the finest audience, will be released on 2 CDs! This work permanently preserves the “Hamburg Performance on June 29, 1976.” It’s a stereo soundboard recording. While the superb “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976” and the official video “GENESIS: IN CONCERT” are the most iconic professional recordings of the “A TRICK OF THE TAIL Tour,” this work is on par with those two masterpieces. First, let’s take a bird’s-eye view of the activities at the time and examine their respective positions. {February “A TRICK OF THE TAIL” Release} March 26th – May 7th: North America (34 performances) ← *PITTSBURGH 1976 and others – about a month later – June 9th – 14th: UK # 1 (6 performances) ← *HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1976 June 15th – July 4th: Europe (19 performances) ← ★COCO★ July 8th – July 11th: UK # 2 (4 performances) ← *Official video {September-October “WIND & WUTHERING” Production} Shocking soundboard master newly discovered This is GENESIS in 1976. “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976” was born from the early “North America” tour, and the official “IN CONCERT” was born from the final “UK # 2” tour, but this work’s Hamburg performance was in between. It was the 14th performance of “Europe”, the continental European edition. This work, which conveys such a show, is an eye-opening, superb soundboard. Previously, only audience recordings were known, but recently, new soundboards have been discovered. Collectors around the world are excited at this very moment. Moreover, this work is the highest-ranking matrix master. Perhaps because it’s a long-awaited new discovery, several independently mastered versions have already begun to appear, and some may have heard versions patched with poor-sounding audience recordings. Of course, this work is different. While this work also uses audience recordings, its meticulous finish has earned it rave reviews as “the best.” Meticulously crafted official-grade matrix sound. In fact, the sound is “completely official,” with the soundboard’s ultra-direct sound remaining intact, beautiful and dynamic. The audience is not patchwork, but rather a very natural matrix finish with no splices. The actual work involved is also revealed. Both masters have been carefully corrected for pitch, slight phase shifts, and balance, and noise has been carefully treated. The AUD master, in particular, even removes loud applause and whistles in line with the SBD. The resulting sound is in no way inferior to the authentic official “IN CONCERT.” This sound depicts the dreamlike full show of “Climax GENESIS + Bill Bruford.” While the tour-specific set is familiar from “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976” and other releases, it’s about 2.7 times more similar than the rather short “GENESIS: IN CONCERT,” and its content is a testament to the prog era. Let’s take a look at it again, comparing it with the official footage. Trick of the Tale (5 songs), Dance On A Volcano (★), Robbery, Assault and Battery (★), Entangled, Squonk (★), Los Endos Gabriel era (11 songs), Dazzling Broadway: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (★), Fly On A Windshield, Broadway Melody of 1974, The Carpet Crawlers, It (★), Moonlit Knight: The Cinema Show, Firth Of Fifth (★), I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe), Others: White Mountain (★), Supper’s Ready, Watcher Of The Skies (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” are songs that could not be heard in the official video “GENESIS: IN CONCERT.” Until now, the “A TRICK OF THE TAIL Tour” was the dominant feature of “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976.” Just before its 50th anniversary, this second apex soundboard suddenly appeared. Its full potential has been maximized, resulting in a top-tier matrix master recognized by collectors worldwide. Remastering Notes: 01. Adjusted frequency balance and EQ for SBD/AUD sources. 02. Removed clicks from each source. 03. Removed many loud whistles and applause (AUD source). 04. Corrected recorder volume and hiss boost (AUD source). 05. Centered phase correction (SBD source). 06.

This is a stereo soundboard recording of the “Hamburg Performance on June 29, 1976.” This soundboard was recently unearthed, and the matrix finish utilizes the superb audience of the time. The sound is fully official, comparable to the official “IN CONCERT” recording. Along with “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976,” this new masterpiece allows you to fully enjoy the “A TRICK OF THE TAIL Tour” featuring Bill Bruford.
