This work is “North America #1”. We have delivered many masterpieces and masterpieces from the 1978 tour, but this work is one of the earliest. It is the second oldest after the soundboard album “EL MOCAMBO 1978: REEL MASTER” released the other day, and is the oldest audience album in our shop. The quality of this work is truly wonderful audience sound. This 1978 tour is a miraculous famous place for famous recordings, but it ranks quite high among them. Although it does not reach the main press CD, which is the ultimate soundboard album, the clear and vivid musical tones are worthy of being called “like a soundboard”. John Wetton’s brilliance bass, Bill Bruford’s virtuosity, and Eddie Jobson’s violin are super detailed. Although there are some slightly jarring conversations in “The Only Thing She Needs”, etc., it is a live album with beautiful musical tones and a crystal clear and transparent atmosphere. The show depicted with that sound is a passionate performance full of momentum that aims to conquer the North American tour. Unlike “EL MOCAMBO 1978: REEL MASTER”, it has already been replaced by the “late set”, but the new song “The Only Thing She Needs”, which was not released at the time, is also shown, and you can enjoy the Holdsworth version unique to bootlegs. And above all, the passion of the performance makes it feel like an early stage. This work unfolds a masterpiece of a four-piece ensemble. This work is from the early days of the tour. If the main part is the apex stereo sound board, this work is the best audience. This work alone is a wonderful live album, but by combining the two contrasting works in every sense, it is a luxurious set that brings out the true value of the “original U.K.”. Although it has a short history, the “original U.K.” has certainly evolved and changed in it. Its early and final period. Live at Calderone Concert Hall, Hempstead, NY. USA 2nd July 1978 (46:19) 01.
