GASP001 Remaster

Coaster Factory Release

[Michael]

Still my favourite version of this show. Shame about the lack of Bass guitar but there wasn't a lot that culd be done. [LivingForever]

Nice release, levels are higher than BURP010 but the sound is less brilliant and less dynamic. [Gigio67]

If a choice needs to be made amongst the early '77 England gigs, this gets my vote - there is some audience presence off the soundboard. I4Detail really got something out of nothing in terms of the lack of bass response from earlier versions {actually kicked the high end up a bit more than my ears would like frankly}. Your Own Special Way and All In A Mouse's Night are welcome rarities, but both didn't read well live at all - Inside and Out was a nice addition to the later sets on this tour. Carpet Crawlers is a mess at the start. Afterwards Phil says sarcastically, "I think we enjoyed that one too." In the end, I'll go with an A rating overall here because it beats the Rainbow SB, but, Digital brothers' Zurich is still the gold standard from this tour - perhaps a matrix of the audience and the board of this gig might yield some cool results? Peace! [jrromman]

Despite the hiss and the occasional pop or two, I enjoyed this one quite a lot. The inclusion of All in a Mouse's Night is a treat to hear since they would drop it eventually from the set. It still cannot touch Zurich or Dallas in my opinion but still worth a listen for sure. [duke23]

Hidden for years, this recording is now finding it's way out into the open.

Best version of that show, sound brilliant and dynamics not altered by digital maximizers; I prefer this one to I4detail. [Gigio67]

Well, I dig it! :) [Speedy]

Not one of the cleanest of the GASP releases. Very silent during the more quiet parts of Supper. Serious sound issue if you ask me. Not as much volume. A- for me, not really an A. Still, it's worthy for anyone who's a fan of this tour. [musicalbox_71]
