Audience
Live at Academy of Music, New York, May 4, 1974. Very good audience recording.
What can you say about this performance that has not already been said on so many past occasions? The last-but-one night of Genesis' spring 1974 US tour remains one of the most personable performances the band ever gave, with even the group's traditional bugbear of technical failures elevated to the ranks of bold humor. Gabriel is in excellent form, both vocally (his performance through "Firth Of Fifth" is nothing short of revelatory) and in the storytelling department. Even the most time-honored tales are pocked with ad-libs, including crediting Henry, hero of "The Musical Box," for "the first recorded streak in world history"; and the insistence that Phil Collins was taught to play drums by a Russian spastic. There, and we thought it was just his vocal coach.
The sound quality is very good throughout.
"Watcher Of The Skies" opens before before diving headlong into Selling England By The Pound (1973) for the four songs that really were that album's live highlights: "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight," "I Know What I Like," "Firth Of Fifth" and "Cinema Show." Onto disc two, "Musical Box" (complete with unexpected funk intro!) is followed by a magnificent "Horizons," a clapalong rendition of "Battle of Epping Forest," and "Supper's Ready," itself prefaced by Gabriel's demand to know whether or not the audience is fond of lettuce. Of such things, of course, classic concerts are made and this one truly is a jewel. - Dave Thompson
"This audience recording is absolutely superb. Clear open detailed sound, with good dynamics and very little hiss or distortion. Given this quality of sound, the matter of it being a mono recording becomes irrelevant.
"An awesome performance, a wonderful venue, and a beautiful recording. This was one of the very last times they played many of the classic 'Selling England' songs, and the last known recording of 'Supper's Ready'."

Sweet!! Yes Ma`am! Thanks!
Hey Dave is there a new Led-Zepp Soundboard EVSD " Happiness is a Warm Gun" Vienna 3.16.73?
I spent yesterday fruitlessly searching for a non-mp3 (HW07)version of this show. I finally gave up and burned the mp3 version. I am listening to it now. It is a fabulous show. I can't wait to get the flac version. Plus, this has the best art of any Genesis boot. Thanks so much!
This is a fantastic show! I have the Hogweed version of this one as well as the PRRP...hmmm I wonder how this compares? Just checked the Genesis Movement site, this is the original source tape that both the Hogweed and PRRP versions were remastered from. I will probably have to grab this one as well for comparison anyway. Thanks again Dave for all of the fantastic shows...YOU ROCK!!!
It is not sure if speed problems corrected by PRRP were in the original source or in the first generation tape used by PRRP. So there is a chance that this one has some speed issues, but in exchange it does not have PRRP remastering... You choose... :- )
That is strange if this is the original source for Selling Equipment By The Pound because that version does not sound like it is in mono to me(?), and this version has some very serious tape stretches/squelches and momentary dropouts in The Cinema Show that are not found in Selling Equipment By The Pound(?). This version does have speed/pitch problems too.
(I'm not really a fan of PRRP's remastering, but if this is the original source they used, they did a fantastic job. Either that, or this is a new transfer(?) of the original tape done incorrectly resulting in the straight mono sound and the problems during The Cinema Show.?)
I have been looking for this show for a while now. It is up at bt.etree, but it has been a dead seed for a long time. If you happen to have it, or if any of the other nice people around have it, I would really be thankful to get it.
