Jethro Tull/CA,USA 1977 1st Gen

Mike Millard’s hidden treasure that has never been known until now. The super best live album born from that 1st Gene Cassette is now available. A charismatic person in recording history was present and recorded JETHRO TULL’s “January 16, 1977 Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Performance.” This is a superb audience recording that records one act of “SONGS FROM THE WOOD TOUR”. The biggest point of this work is the mirrored sound that emits a miraculous brilliance, but at the same time it is also in the show of JETHRO TULL who just created the masterpiece “SONGS FROM THE WOOD”. First of all, let’s check the show’s position on the schedule at that time. ・January 14th-23rd: North America #1 (7 performances) ←★Here★ ・February 1st-14th: UK (13 performances)《February 11th “SONGS FROM THE WOOD” released》・March 1st-April 10th: North America #2 (33 performances)・April 16th-23rd: Europe #1 (8 performances)・May 24th-June 8th: Europe #2 (12 performances) September 4th-20th: Australia (15 performances) November 4th-December 6th: North America #3 (31 performances) This is “SONGS FROM THE WOOD” Overall picture of “TOUR”. “SONGS FROM THE WOOD” was released during the UK tour, but the Los Angeles performance of this work was before that. This is the third performance of “North America #1″, which had only seven performances. Speaking of “SONGS FROM THE WOOD TOUR,” the deluxe edition also included a live album from the North American tour, but that was “North America #3,” and this work was recorded at a concert nearly a year before that. did. The sound of this work, which recorded such a show, is so wonderful that it is difficult to put it into words. The strength of the active core, the delicate details that do not miss even the slightest subtlety, the sound of exquisite luster and beauty, the sense of stability that does not make the slightest movement… Even though I know that this is a Millard recording from 1977, which is also the “Year of Eddie,” I feel awe at the commentary when I come face to face with its awesomeness. Moreover, this work is the venerable 1st generation provided to the prestigious JEMS by Mr. JIM R., who was also the person who pushed the legendary Millard’s wheelchair. The ultimate freshness is added to all the beauty, and your heart will be melted by the magical power hidden in the “sound”, which should originally be nothing more than the vibration of the air. What’s more, that mirrored sound depicts JETHRO TULL, who have just officially welcomed David Palmer, who has contributed as an arranger for a long time, and have just become a six-piece band. As mentioned earlier, “SONGS FROM THE WOOD” had not yet been released, but the set was already very similar to the famous Land Bar performance in the deluxe edition. A group of famous songs from the 70’s will be performed with a focus on “AQUALUNG”. “To Cry You A Song”, which will be sealed for more than 20 years after this tour, will also be spun by the hard work of six people. Even more than that are the new songs from “SONGS FROM THE WOOD.” Even before the album was released, they performed songs that would become standard songs such as “Jack-In-The-Green,” “Songs From The Wood,” and “Hunting Girl,” as well as “Velvet Green,” which was unique to that time. Moreover, all of them are filled with fresh vitality as the third performance. Anyway, all I can do is breathe. JETHRO TULL, the embodiment of British rock, and Mike Millard, a great man in recording history. This is a miraculous piece in which the atmosphere of “January 16, 1977” when the two shared the same space flows out from the 1st Gene Cassette. Although it is an extremely excellent live album in terms of pure music and pure audio, I am overwhelmed by the fact that this record was released for the first time in 2019. Up until now, I have used the term “cultural heritage” as the highest compliment, but I wish I hadn’t used it until I encountered this work… A piece of music that even evokes such feelings.
