Peter Gabriel/MI, USA 1982

From the US tour during the release of the “IV” album, which was for some reason named “Playtime 88”, the live performance at the University of Michigan on November 20th is completely recorded for 1 hour and 41 minutes with the highest level of ultra-high quality audience recording. . This is a new sound source released by JEMS just the other day, and it is recorded with a top-level sound that far exceeds the same-day recording take that existed among traders, and makes you feel exceptionally clear for this era. (It is also ranked “A” on Genesis’ specialized sound source site.) Live performances from this period are well known as the official “Plays Live”, but there are also live performances such as Lay Your Hands On Me and Kiss Of Life from the new album. You can be sure of the superiority of high-quality audience recording in terms of the enjoyment and realism of listening to the songs in the order in which they were played, including numbers that are not included on the disc. In the first place, there is an official live version of the 1982 US tour sound source, and it has not been released at all so far, so it can be said to be valuable. David Rose showed solid play at key points, Tony Levin has returned to the base, and all subsequent tours will be handled by Rose and Levin. Jerry Marotta and Larry Fast will be out of the band after this tour, but this is a sound source that clearly shows that the play of these two strongly colored the band ensemble in the early 1980s. The concert started with the album’s leader track, The Rhythm Of The Heat, which further developed the ethnic elements introduced in the previous album. Although they boldly introduced cutting-edge instruments such as Fairlight and Simmons, the overall sound of the band was stoic, and the straightforward live expression typical of the band from this period was reflected in the gigantic-scale performances that followed. It will sound fresh to ears used to listening to live performances. Excellent new sound source from the US tour held on a large scale in the latter half of 1982. This is an outstanding piece in terms of content and sound quality. Live at Hill Auditorium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. USA 20th November 1982 TRULY AMAZING SOUND Disc 1 1.
