Genesis,Peter Gabriel/Canada 1974 Upgrade

The best live performance of Peter Gabriel era is revived with Upgrade Master. “LIVE: TEST PRESSING 2LP”, which is the long version of the official version “LIVE”, has been very popular, but this work is also a completely equivalent super sound board “April 21, 1974 Montreal (Canada)” “Performance”. This live was broadcast on the radio “CHOM-FM” and is known as the most famous broadcast sound source of the Gabriel era. It has continued to produce numerous titles since the analog era. About 10 years ago, the uncut version of “DIGESTING ENGLAND” was all the rage as a definitive album, but this work is not a remaster of it. It is a further upgrade master that has appeared in recent years. Before cutting into the contents of this work, let me introduce for first-timers how decisive this live is. First of all, live performances during the Gabriel era can be broadly divided into two. (Excluding the Anthony Phillips era, as only a few fragmented BBC sessions remain.) One is the regular concert from when the Golden Five were together until “SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND TOUR,” and the other is “THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY TOUR”. There are some soundboards left in the latter, but they are mainly used to reproduce albums, and there are only one or two songs for encores. Although that is wonderful, in order to fully enjoy the dazzling masterpieces of Gabriel’s era, the “regular pre-Broadway concert” is the key. However, when it comes to sound boards from that era, there are extremely few, and there are only about three that satisfy both length and quality. The 1973 Leicester performance of “LIVE: TEST PRESSING 2LP” which is also an official production, the 1973 Rainbow Theater performance which was made official with “GENESIS LIVE 1973?2007”, and the 1974 Montreal performance of this work. In other words, this work is one of the “best three” works along with the two official works. Moreover, GENESIS at that time was on the rise in popularity and ability. In the album “SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND”, it was impressive that the performance of the performers improved dramatically, but they were at a stage where they were improving day by day, and the later they became, the more proficient they became at live performances. Let me listen to it. The Montreal performance of this work is the latest of the three apex sound boards, and is the most delicious live performance. This work, which is an upgrade of such a best live, is truly the ultimate one. It is clear that it is a new master from the intro, which is 20 seconds longer than “DIGESTING ENGLAND” and includes the radio DJ’s voice, but what is more vivid is the natural and rich sound. Even “DIGESTING ENGLAND”, which I thought was perfect, is such a perfect official-level sound that when I listen to it after this work, I notice that the sound is clogged and unnatural, as if it was artificially finished with equalization. is. Also, the MC who tells the story is a surprising point. The official language of Quebec, where Montreal is located, is French, and Gabriel also speaks in French in this film. Since Phil Collins became the front, there are many foreign language sound sources left, but there are extremely few soundboards that Gabriel talks about. In particular, the Montreal performance is the only overseas performance of the top three “before Broadway” performances, so this is the only one where you can listen to a French MC with official quality sound. A rare soundboard live performance in which “only” the three great masterpieces of Gabriel’s era GENESIS, “NURSERY CRYME”, “FOXTROT”, and “SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND” are played. This is no longer a masterpiece of a band called GENESIS, but the pinnacle of the music genre called “progressive rock.” This is one of the best in history that has taken it all the way to the top.
