Genesis/MA,USA 1974 & more Best Edition

“Selling England by the Pound Tour” was the most popular even during the Peter Gabriel era. The famous album that has made the name of his masterpiece as he wants is now decided to be released. What is infused into this work is “April 24, 1974 Boston Performance”. Yes, this is a reprint of the best audience recording that once gained great popularity as “FIVE RIVERS STORY”. The biggest point of this work is that you can experience the most popular tour on-site with super-excellent audience sound. But why is “Selling England by the Pound Tour” the most popular tour? The reason for this lies in both their performance and set list. First of all, “performance ability”. During Gabriel’s era, GENESIS was in a developing stage, and their playing ability improved with each release and tour. In other words, (although there are exceptions due to daily ups and downs), the later you go, the more you can enjoy the improved show. And, the Boston performance of this work is the latter half of the “Selling England by the Pound Tour”. Let’s check the position from the entire tour view here. 1973/September 19th-30th: Europe #1 (7 performances)《Knight of the Moonlight’ released on October 13th》/October 6th-31st: UK #1 (17 performances)/November 7th Sunday – December 20th: North America #1 (26 performances) 1974, January 13th – 20th: UK #2 (6 performances), January 26th – February 12th: Europe #2 (12 performances)・March 1st – May 6th: North America #2 (46 performances) ←★Here★《Production of “Dazzling Broadway” begins in August》This is the overall picture of activities related to “Knight of the Moonlight.” This work is the 36th concert of the final edition, “North America #2”. He had reached a mature stage where he was able to play an ensemble. At this point, you may be thinking, “Then, the pinnacle is “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Tour”?” In fact, that’s also true. The second key point here is the “set list.” As you know, the concept of “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Tour” is to completely recreate the story of the album “Dazzling Broadway”, and the performance is more like a rock musical than a concert. Although that is important, in classical music, there is at most one or two songs as an encore. I couldn’t have hoped for a more diverse group of masterpieces from the past. On the other hand, “Selling England by the Pound Tour” is a regular concert. It is the best set of Tokuno up to “Knight of the Moonlight”. Let’s organize the contents of the set here so that you can experience its richness. Moonlit Knight (5 songs)・Dancing With The Moonlit Knight／The Cinema Show／I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)／Firth Of Fifth／More Fool Me (★) Others (3 songs)・Mysterious Antique Music Box: The Musical Box/Foxtrot: Watcher Of The Skies/Supper’s Ready *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the masterpiece soundboard “DEFINITIVE MONTREAL 1974″. …and it looks like this. Most of the masterpiece “Knight of the Moon Shadow” will be played on a large scale, and three special songs “Kiki Koto Ongaku Box” and “Foxtrot” will be added. Speaking of the masterpiece of this tour, the soundboard “DEFINITIVE MONTREAL 1974” is played, but it also plays “More Fool Me”, which you can’t hear even on that super masterpiece, and it includes the entire A side of “Knight in the Moonlight” + “The The incredible depth of “Cinema Show” has been achieved. By the way, the trouble with “I Know What I Like” where the synths are ringing and the song can’t start easily (perhaps due to a malfunction with the equipment) is also interesting. Now, I think you can understand how decisive the show is, but the sound that conveys it is also amazing. It is a classic sound source that has been famous for a long time, but this work is the highest peak master discovered in 2006. The front and back tracks are recorded longer than the previous edition, and there are no cuts or noises that were present on the previous edition. On the contrary, the basic quality has improved considerably, and specialized magazines have commented, “It seems like they are using a sound source close to the master.The sound quality is outstanding for an audience recording.” “Although it is the same sound source as the previous release, the sound quality is very good. It has gotten better, and there are no skips or noises. Even though it was an audience recording, there was less sound diffusion and clutter, so it can be said that this is the final version of this sound source.” In fact, even after listening to it again now, the high praise it received back then doesn’t seem like an exaggeration. The core, which has a strong, direct feel, and the detailed details are comparable to a sound board, and the slight hall sound gives it exquisite dynamism and luster. The sense of detachment from the realistic applause is also exquisite. After the main show, a delicious bonus track is also included. It was a radio sound source broadcast on the US local station WCBN. Following the ending part of “More Fool Me”, an interview between Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford is recorded for about 6 minutes. This is just a super famous mania sound source, but in fact, this broadcast was on the day of the main show. Live at Music Hall, Boston, MA, USA 24th April 1974 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc 1(53:37) 1.
