Peter Gabriel/CA,USA 4.10.1977 Late Show

Two of the great British progressive rock charisma, Peter Gabriel and Robert Fripp. This live album will let you experience the miraculous tour where the two men stood side by side. This work is recorded from the “West Hollywood performance (late show) on April 10, 1977”. It is a superb audience recording recorded by the absolute master Mike Millard at the legendary club “The Roxy”. First, let’s look back at the overall picture of his first solo “CAR Tour 1977” and check the position of the show. {“CAR” released on February 25th} ・March 5th – April 10th: North America (28 performances) ←★Here★ ・April 23rd – 30th: UK #1 (7 performances) ・September 2nd – November 1st: Europe / UK #2 (49 performances) {“SCRATCH” production begins in November} This is Peter Gabriel in 1977. His first solo tour was largely divided into “North America/UK #1” in the spring and “Europe/UK #2” in the fall, with this West Hollywood performance being the former. It was also the final performance of the “North America” ​​leg. Speaking of “The Roxy in 1977”, it is famous for the fact that the classic FM soundboard was left behind, and the similarly titled “THE ROXY 1977 1ST NIGHT” also appears, but this work is a completely different performance (please refer to the commentary of “1ST NIGHT” for details). This work recorded at such a show is a neat and beautiful superb audience recording that is very typical of Millerd. In fact, the simultaneously released “1ST NIGHT” is a masterpiece that boasts a transcendent direct feeling despite not being a Millerd work, but when it comes to “beauty”, there is nothing that can compete with the Millerd recording. It is fully on, but has a beautiful sound that is a little different from “close contact”, and yet the closed room feeling that is only possible with the club size does not make you feel the distance. Those who have read this article may have also experienced Millard’s work “ROXY 1978 1ST NIGHT” the following year, but this work is a beautiful live album that can be said to be a sister work of that masterpiece. The beautiful sound depicts the first solo full show, which is a stark difference from the GENESIS era. There are plenty of rare songs that were not performed on later tours, so let’s organize them here. CAR Here Comes The Flood (2 takes) / Moribund The Burgermeister / Waiting For The Big One / Excuse Me (★) / Solsbury Hill / Humdrum / Slowburn / Modern Love / Down The Dolce Vita (★) Others SCRATCH: On The Air / A Song Without Words (Indigo) Covers: Ain’t That Peculiar (★) / All Day And All Of The Night / Back in N.Y.C. (★) *Note: The “★” mark is a limited edition song only for this tour. …And so on. Of course, the core of the album is his solo debut, and since all the songs were performed, you can also hear the rare live performances of “Excuse Me” and “Down The Dolce Vita”. Some songs don’t end in one go, but reappear again. “Here Comes The Flood” is not only performed at the opening, but is also performed in full again in the middle, and “Modern Love” and “Solsbury Hill” are reprises in the encore. This arrangement is only possible because the repertoire is still small, but what’s even more delicious is the rush of super rare songs. “All Day And All Of The Night” by THE KINKS was also performed on the next tour, but Marvin Gaye’s “Ain’t That Peculiar” and “Back in N.Y.C.” by GENESIS are keynote numbers only in 1977. Peter Gabriel and Robert Fripp’s collaboration, which cannot be experienced on other tours. And precious masterpieces. This is a new masterpiece that allows you to experience the scene of 1977 in the best way with the mirrored sound. Millard never recorded GENESIS during the Gabriel era, but he did leave us this work by Gabriel & Fripp and “BURBANK 1976 (Virtuoso 422/423)” by GENESIS & Bill Bruford. This is a superb audience recording of the new masterpiece “April 10, 1977 THE ROXY performance (late show)” that conveys the miraculous stage where the heroes of progressive rock were present. This is a masterpiece among masterpieces that was digitized directly from the original master of absolute master Mike Millard, at a different performance from the same venue as the standard FM broadcast and “1ST NIGHT”. It is a beautiful recording unique to Millard, which has a club-sized closed room feeling and a beautiful sound, and you can experience a full show full of precious songs such as all the songs of the solo debut and GENESIS’s “Back in N.Y.C.” at the best experience.
