Genesis/London, UK 1977

“WIND AND WUTHERING TOUR 1977” was Steve Hackett’s last tour. The best soundboard album of that very early live is back! This tour is Hackett’s last and is also the final settlement of prog rock GENESIS, but on the other hand, it is also known as “the best soundboard’s great harvest tour”. From the official masterpiece “SECONDS OUT” to partial radio broadcasts, there are too many line recordings to mention, but among them, this one is competing for the top with “full scale + special A sound”. There were 5 performances. Let’s sort things out a bit. ・January 3rd London [this work] ・January 20th Southhampton “WINDY DAY SOUTHAMPTON” ・March 19th Dallas “EXECUTIVE ACTION” ・May 21st Sao Paulo “THE BRAZILIAN ’77” ・July 2nd Zurich “DEFINITIVE ZURICH 1977” These five performances are all masterpieces that have satisfied fans’ thirst for “I want to hear the complete version of SECONDS OUT!” These are the five books I want to collect first. Among these, “DEFINITIVE ZURICH 1977” that will appear this week is the last stage of the second to last performance of the tour, but this work, on the other hand, contains the very early “January 3rd Rainbow Theater performance” on the third day of the tour. Masu. The first day of this “WIND AND WUTHERING TOUR 1977” was 3 consecutive performances at Rainbow Theater starting from “January 1st”, and the second day “January 2nd” is also famous for its FM sound source, but this work is different from that. It’s the third day. As it occupies one of the top five among the crowded soundboards, the sound of this work is a splendid official-grade soundboard. The direct feeling of hearing each member’s performance directly into your ears is wonderful, and the mix is ​​perfect. This is a complete masterpiece of official work. Of course, it is of a quality that easily passes the “press grade” standard, but when compared to the other four performances, there are slight flaws. That part is the 3 songs in the middle of the show. There is tape deterioration at the beginning of “One For The Vine” and the end of “Firth Of Fifth,” and the pitch of the second half of “All In A Mouse’s Night” becomes slightly unstable. Due to these points, it ranks 5th out of the top 5. There are no problems with the beginning of the live show or disc 2, and if it were from another band/other tour, it would definitely be a masterpiece, but “WIND AND WUTHERING TOUR 1977” is full of masterpieces. Therefore, it is a “regrettable!” recording that has continued to miss press release. That said, the quality of their very early live shows makes them stand out even among the top five. Although the songs themselves are not much different from other performances, the order of the songs is completely different, and the show that opens with “Eleventh Earl Of Mar” is very fresh. Furthermore, “All In A Mouse’s Night” is also a rare performance that is only recorded at the beginning of this tour. This work is also the very first live performance with Chester Thompson participating. After that, he has been active as a soloist with GENESIS and Phil Collins for many years, but this is his third concert. The third “Drum Duet” is one that you can listen to on the best sound board. “WIND AND WUTHERING TOUR 1977” is the final result of progressive rock GENESIS. You can enjoy that very early full live on the best sound board, and it is one that boasts the quality of a top ranker. Of course, I would like you to enjoy the other four masterpieces, but even if this work was first released in 1977, there is no problem (in fact, you can enjoy the top 5 as if you were following a tour from this work) It’s also fun). I would like as many people as possible to learn about the wonderful world of “WIND AND WUTHERING TOUR 1977.” That’s what the title is for.
