A keyboard trio that was one of the ultimate forms of rock. Another treasure of “THE WORKS Tour”, in which the best unit in history, EL&P, has matured is born. What is infused into this work is “Madison performance on November 8, 1977”. It is an exquisite audience recording that conveys the whole story. Speaking of “THE WORKS Tour”, the first thing you have to check is “Will it be accompanied by an orchestra? Or will it be a solo trio?” As usual, let's look back at the tour schedule and check the position of Ko. 1977《“Tetralogy” released on March 17th》 *May 24th to June 12th: Orchestra co-starring (11 performances + 2 trio performances) June 16th to July 5th: Trio #1 (15 Performances) *July 7th - 9th: Orchestra co-starring (3 MSG performances) July 10th - August 23rd: Trio #2 (34 performances) *August 26: Orchestra co-starring (Montreal) - October 15 Sunday-31st: Trio #3a (14 performances)《“Work No. 2” released on November 1st》・November 1-30th: Trio #3b (21 performances) ←★Here★ January 1978 16th – March 13th: Trio #4 (48 performances)《Production of “Love Beach” → EL&P disbanded》 *Note: “*” marks are performances with orchestra, “・” marks are dates only for trio. . This is the 1977/1978 EL&P. In conclusion, the Madison performance of this work is “trio alone”. It was the 6th performance of "Trio #3b", which came a week after the release of "Operation No. 2". Although it has been known that recordings of this show exist among core collectors for some time, it has never been distributed to the general public. The reason is quality. It did not attract attention because it was on “THE WORKS Tour” where masterpieces were lined up. Of course, this work is also such a master now. . . . Well, no. It is an upgrade master of the 1st generation that was recently discovered. The old master is not widely available, so it's frustrating that it doesn't get through even if you shout, "I've uploaded this much!", but it's actually great to listen to without any prior knowledge. Although it is a vintage audience from the 70's, the strength of the core that penetrates the clear atmosphere transcends time. Moreover, the freshness of the 1st generation is excellent, there is almost no dubbing deterioration, and if there is minimal hiss, there is no distortion in the performance sound that extends beautifully. The fresh and wild performance of the three people is depicted as fresh as if it was recorded yesterday. Moreover, this work is the highest peak updated edition that further refines such new excavated masters. Of course, I did not do anything that would taint the freshness by recklessly gaining sound pressure. It is simply a remastering that is devoted to “arrangement”. It goes without saying that the pitch must be adjusted accurately, but in this case, the stereo effect is largely adjusted. Don't just align it to the center, check the left and right channels individually. If one side is dropping high, the balance is adjusted, and the part where the sound was dropping is converted to stereo using the remaining channel. Of course, we have made these parts as seamless as possible, making it a musical work that can be listened to without any discomfort even if you know where the corrections have been made. It is a show that can be enjoyed with such an upgraded sound because it is “Trio #3” even on “THE WORKS Tour”. The set changed during the tour, and especially after the release of "Work No. 2", many new songs were included. Speaking of live albums prior to ``Work No. 2,'' the famous album ``OAKLAND 1977'' is still fresh in my memory. Here, let's organize it while comparing it with that new masterpiece. Early 70's Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Take A Pebble/Lucky Man Tarkus: Pictures At An Exhibition/Nutrocker Trilogy: Hoedown Scary Brain Reform: Karn Evil 9 1977 onwards・ELP tetralogy: C'est La Vie / Tank / Pirates / Fanfare For The Common Man (Rondo) ・Work No. 2: Maple Leaf Rag (★) / Tiger In A Spotlight (★) / Watching Over You (★)・Others: Peter Gunn (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on “OAKLAND 1977”. ...and it looks like this. "Piano Concerto No.1 1st Movement," "Knife Edge," and "Still... You Turn Me On" were dropped, and the style included three songs from "Operation No. 2" and "Peter Gunn." Due to the increase in the number of small items, the flow has changed to a more compact and fast-paced one. Speaking of EL&P, their historic masterpieces and long improvisations seem to be their trademarks, but on the other hand, they also have a good sense of humor that sets them apart from the average progressive rock band. It is also a show where such vivacity is brought to the forefront. A new masterpiece from “THE WORKS Tour” that further refines the newly discovered 1st Gene Master. Exquisite audience recording of "November 8, 1977 Madison Performance". This is an upgraded master of the 1st generation that was recently discovered, and the core that penetrates the clear air is strong, with almost no dubbing deterioration, and if the hiss is minimal, the performance sound stretches beautifully and has no distortion. It is a famous recording that brings back the fresh and wild performance of the three as if it was recorded yesterday. Moreover, this work has been refined with its own meticulous mastering. This is a top-of-the-line record that has been carefully checked and balanced on each channel. This is a new masterpiece that allows you to experience the lively second half of the tour, which also includes the ``Work No. 2'' number.
