Genesis Genesis/TX,USA 1977 Upgrade

The “WIND & WUTHERING Tour” was Steve Hackett’s last world tour and also produced the masterpiece “SECONDS OUT”. The masterpiece soundboard that has become a candidate for the king has been brushed up. A reprint album that revives the “sound output at that time” with natural transfer and GRAF ZEPPELIN’s detailed mastering is now available. This work is engraved with the “March 19, 1977 Dallas performance”. It is a superb soundboard recording. Speaking of the “WIND & WUTHERING Tour”, it is a famous place for the best soundboards in GENESIS history, and we have archived it with many masterpiece live albums. First of all, let’s look back on the schedule at that time and check out the masterpieces of each leg.・January 1st-23rd: UK (20 performances) ←※ SOUTHAMPTON 1977・February 2nd-May 1st: North America (44 performances) ←★ Here ★・May 10th-22nd: South America (12 performances) ←※ THE BRAZILIAN ’77《May 20th “SPOT THE PIGEON” released》・June 2nd-July 3rd: Europe (20 performances) ←※ DEFINITIVE ZURICH 1977《Steve Hackett leaves》《October 14th “SECONDS OUT” released》This is GENESIS in 1977. The Dallas performance of this work was the 34th concert of the “North American” leg. This show is also left in the about 30-minute pro shot “SECONDS OUT PROMO”, but it is more famous for producing the highest peak sound board of the “North American” leg. GENESIS has a specialized sound source site that is trusted by collectors around the world, and there are five that are considered to be the “best soundboards of the WIND & WUTHERING Tour”. It’s a good opportunity, so let’s check out the five great soundboards. January 3rd “3RD NIGHT AT RAINBOW” January 20th “SOUTHAMPTON 1977 2ND NIGHT” March 19th: Dallas performance ←★This work★ May 21st “THE BRAZILIAN ’77 (Sao Paulo)” July 2nd “DEFINITIVE ZURICH 1977” … and so on. Speaking of the “North American” leg, “SAN FRANCISCO 1977 1ST NIGHT”, released a few months ago, was also a superb soundboard, but unfortunately the beginning of “Squonk” was missing, so it was not a complete form in the strict sense. This Dallas performance is the best recording of the “North American” leg without such drawbacks. And this work is a super natural version that updates the highest peak. It goes back to the original natural transfer of the best master, and has been polished up by meticulous mastering by “GRAF ZEPPELIN”. After all, the conventional best version “EXECUTIVE ACTION” appeared about 15 years ago. At that time, the sound pressure war (loudness war) was in full swing. In the world of general officials, remastered CDs with only increased sound pressure appeared one after another, and it was an era when sound quality was discussed by the impact at the moment of hearing it. Since the official is like that, sound pressure was justice even in the underground. Even newly excavated analog recordings were often released after being flashily equalized. The previous board “EXECUTIVE ACTION” was also finished with an emphasis on power, under the influence of such an era, and the noise reduction was also spectacular. There was even a bathroom echo that reverberated throughout the venue even during the MC between songs. In contrast, this work places the highest priority on “natural” and “on-site sound”. This does not mean “nothing is done”. After all, it was recorded 45 years ago. Even if the master is of the highest quality in the world, subtle changes are inevitable due to the storage condition of the tape and the digitalization process. The method of “GRAF ZEPPELIN” corrects such changes and faithfully reproduces the notes that the members spun in 1977. It is a wide range of things, such as pitch and phase shifts, balance adjustment by band analysis, and noise processing of each range, and it is done with a precision that can even be said to be obsessive, not allowing even 1/1000th of a second of deviation. As I have written many times, this method and precision will be easier to understand if you imagine “repair work of paintings and cultural assets”. Without adding trends or interpretations, damaged paint is repaired based on historical research, and the original color and touch are reproduced. The natural feeling that was born as a result is “natural as if nothing was done” because of the enormous amount of time and effort, and the more you explore it with headphones, the more you will be amazed at the beautiful reproduction. For those who are touching Dallas SBD for the first time with this work, it may simply be “official”, but those who have listened to the already released groups will be surprised and say “Was it so beautiful?” The sound of such aesthetics is drawn as a full show of the wonderful “WIND & WUTHERING Tour”. A full show that is different from the masterpieces of the later tour “THE BRAZILIAN ’77” and “DEFINITIVE ZURICH 1977”. Let’s organize the set while comparing it here. Trick of the Tale, Squonk, Robbery, Assault & Battery, Dance On A Volcano, Los Endos, Storm of Silence, One For The Vine (*), Your Own Special Way (★*), …In That Quiet Earth (*), Afterglow, Eleventh Earl Of Mar (*), Gabriel Era Classics, The Musical Box (Closing Section), Foxtrot: Supper’s Ready, Moonlit Knight: Firth Of Fifth, I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe), The Carpet Crawlers, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway *Note: * indicates songs that cannot be heard in “SECONDS OUT”. ★ indicates songs that cannot be heard in “DEFINITIVE ZURICH 1977”. …And so on. Compared to the “British” leg “SOUTHAMPTON 1977 2ND NIGHT”, the flow has become tighter with the drop of “All In A Mouse’s Night”, while “Your Own Special Way”, which cannot be heard in the later tours “THE BRAZILIAN ’77” and “DEFINITIVE ZURICH 1977”, still survives. This is a set that can only be found in the mid-North American leg of the tour. The “WIND & WUTHERING Tour” where superb soundboards were born from each leg. It is a miraculous tour where you can follow the evolution process step by step with official sound. This work is the highest peak in history that revives the famous recordings that reign in that “North America” ​​with the “original sound”. A live album of the champion that is indispensable in the GENESIS collection. Superb soundboard recording of “March 19, 1977 Dallas performance”. The WIND & WUTHERING Tour has produced a superb soundboard from each leg, but this work is the highest peak update of the king soundboard representing the “North American” leg. Going back to the original transfer of the best master, it has been polished up with detailed mastering by “GRAF ZEPPELIN”. It is a supernatural sound that revives the sound of 1977 as it is, without the feeling of processing like the existing group. “Your Own Special Way”, which was no longer performed in the latter half of the tour, is also an absolute board that can be enjoyed with a completely official sound. (Remastering memo) Remastered based on a flatter and more delicate master with less EQ processing than the previous edition. The previous edition was quite flashy and intense noise reduction and deep echo processing, which made the processing feeling such as the ups and downs of the sound stand out, but this edition has a very natural and delicate dense sound. EQ is used to adjust the overall balance without overdoing it. High and low frequency noise (hum) removal. Live at Moody Coliseum, Dallas, TX, USA 19th March 1977 SBD(UPGRADE) Disc 1 (60:00) 1.
