EL&P's golden "BRAIN SALAD SURGERY TOUR". This extremely rare first day recording is a miracle excavation. Since their debut in 1970, EL&P has run through the 70s at a ferocious speed. In their history, the pinnacle is none other than "The Brain Reform of Fear" and its tour. This work is the first day. It is an audience album that captures the start dash that is about to sweep the world with their masterpiece, with 100% real sound. This work was recorded at the "Miami performance on November 14, 1973". Since this is a good opportunity, let's take a look at the overall picture of EL&P's pinnacle "BRAIN SALAD SURGERY TOUR 1973-1974". "September 1973: The Brain Reform of Terror" completed - about two months later "November 19, 1973: The Brain Reform of Terror released" November 14, 1973 - December 18, 1973: North America #1 (30 performances) ←★Here★ - about one month later January 24, 1974 - April 6, 1974: North America #2 (35 performances) *Official edition April 18, 1974 - May 2, 1974: UK (9 performances) May 7, 1974 - June 2, 1974: Europe (20 performances) - about one and a half months later July 26, 1974 - August 21, 1974: North America #3 (17 performances) That's a total of 111 performances. There are some vague points in the records from the 70s, so it's not exact, but you can get a rough idea of their activities. The "February 2, 1974 Anaheim Performance", which was the main venue for the official masterpiece "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN", is "North America #2", but this work was about two and a half months before that. It is the first day, five days before the release of "Fearful Brain Reform". The recording of this day was hardly listed on the list of core collectors, and it was a phantom sound source that was rumored to exist and disappeared. It suddenly appeared recently. The sound of such a phantom album is a truly wonderful vintage sound. As expected, it is extremely rare, so it cannot be said to be "like a sound board!", but it is not at the level where you can listen carefully and "confirm the performance". Although there is some sense of the on-site feeling of the popularity peak, the extremely thick and distance-free musical sound overwhelms everything. Moreover, the ensemble of three people is beautifully separated without becoming a ball. It is a live album that fills every corner with the three rough rope performances. Although it is such a wonderful sound, unfortunately it was not a perfect recording. To be honest, there are a few seconds of cuts here and there. To be precise, there are about 10 seconds of "Jerusalem", a few seconds of "Battlefield" and "Aquatarkus", the first 30 seconds of "Benny The Bouncer", just before "Lucky Man" and the third verse, the first 10 seconds of "First Impression" and the third verse of "Third Impression" are missing. "Jerusalem" and the beginning of "Benny The Bouncer" are a little long, but the others are only 1.2 seconds at most. Although it is a masterpiece recording overall, it may be because of these cuts that it has been unfortunate until now. After all, it is the first day, so it is a rain of hail of world premieres. Some songs such as "Still You Turn Me On" and "First Impression" were performed before the album was completed, but most of the "Terror of Brain Reform" numbers were premiered on this day. Moreover, the show's structure was not yet solidified, and from the beginning, "Jerusalem", "Toccata", and "Still You Turn Me On" were played in the order of the album. After that, they performed "Benny The Bouncer" → "Karn Evil 9" in the order, while mixing in past repertoire in between. "Benny The Bouncer" closes with the piano as in the album, and it is clearly a concert that "expresses the 'fearful brain reform' throughout the show". This confidence, even before the album is released. This challenge. EL&P has been gradually replacing new songs with new songs as new works are announced, but it was only a series of minor changes. This work is the moment when it changed overnight. How they were absolutely confident in "fearful brain reform". This show clearly shows that, and it is a live album that can be said to be the true essence of progressive EL&P. The premiere album of the "BRAIN SALAD SURGERY TOUR" that has finally appeared. Although it has some flaws such as some chips, this is a very valuable and wonderful sounding recording.
