ROIO of the Week [Recordings
of Indeterminate Origin]
Prog
Rock With Genesis
While
punk music might have driven the nail into prog rock's casket, the musicality
and ideas behind the genre continue to sustain and draw in new fans. Before
Phil Collins re-discovered pop via Take A Look At Me Now (Against All
Odds) and Another Day In Paradise, he was a key member in the prog rock
band Genesis, together with Peter Gabriel. As philcollinsfansite.com said:
"The writing, especially on Supper's Ready, was as sophisticated as anything
in progressive rock, and the lyrics were complex, serious and clever,
a far cry from the usual overblown words attached to most prog-rock."

Genesis
New York
1974 [Hogweed Remaster, 2CD]
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 excellent throughout, and the odd edits that marred earlier versions
of this recording have been repaired. Two discs, therefore, open with
"Watcher Of The Skies," 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
The
Hogweed Remaster sleeve note adds:
"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'."
Click on the highlighted tracks to download the MP3s (these are high quality
mono MP3s - sample rate of 192 kibit/s). As far as we can ascertain, this
recording has never been officially released.
