The Roxy is a legendary club known for the many masterpieces left by the absolute master Mike Millard. A new masterpiece has been added to the collection. This work is recorded on the "September 30, 1978 Roxy performance (Early Show)". It is a superb audience recording that vacuum-packed one act of the "SCRATCH Tour". Speaking of "1978 Roxy / Gabriel / Millard", some people may remember the masterpiece "ROXY 1978 1ST NIGHT (Amity 640)", but this work is actually a completely different concert, although it was held on the same day and at the same venue. There are also other similar titles such as "THE ROXY 1977 2ND NIGHT" and GENESIS's "THE ROXY 1980", which tend to be confusing. This time, let's narrow down to "Roxy performances" and organize the sound sources. 1977 (Gabriel) April 8th and April 9th: Early ←※FM broadcast?・April 9th: Late ・April 10th: Early ←※FM broadcast? ・April 10th: Late 1978 (Gabriel) ・September 30th: Early ←★This work★ ・September 30th: Late ・October 1st: Early/Late 1980 (GENESIS) ・May 25th This is Peter Gabriel/GENESIS's "Live at the Roxy" held from 1977 to 1980. Two performances a day were often held, and 10 performances were concentrated in six days. This work and "ROXY 1978 1ST NIGHT" were two early and late shows a day. The sound of this work is quite close to its sister work, as it is a Millard work on the same day and at the same venue. However, it is not exactly the same. At "The Roxy", if you buy tickets for both shows on the same day, you will be given a seat closer to the stage at the late show, and this difference is reflected in the sound. The late show's "Amity 640" feels like you are right next to the stage, and the sound jumps in without any time lag. The performers in particular had a strong, sharp sound with a sharp onset. In contrast, this work was recorded at a slightly lower position, but it is not far away. The direct feeling remains the same, but the ensemble as a whole is well-balanced because it is a little farther away. In particular, the vocals are more vivid than the late show "Amity 640", where the hall sound was heard. Another way to express this feeling would be to call it "the usual mirrored recording". While "Amity 640" created a strange power with a wild balance of the enthusiasm of the close seats, this work is a masterpiece-like live album with excellent musical completion. And not only the sound but also the show contents are similar but different from "Amity 640". Let's compare and organize them. SCRATCH (8 songs) On The Air / Perspective / Indigo (★) / White Shadow / D.I.Y. / Mother Of Violence / Flotsam And Jetsam / Animal Magic Others (10 songs) CAR: Moribund The Burgomaster / Waiting For The Big One / Slowburn / Solsbury Hill / Modern Love / Here Comes The Flood Others: Me And My Teddy Bear (★) / On Presuming To Be Modern / I Don't Remember / The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway *Note: The "★" mark indicates songs that could not be heard at the late show "ROXY 1978 1ST NIGHT" on the same day. ...And so it is. The style includes four songs, "Humdrum", "A Wonderful Day In A One-Way World", "Home Sweet Home" and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", and two songs, "Me And My Teddy Bear" and "Indigo". Although the number of songs is fewer, this means that you can listen to all the songs from "SCRATCH" except "Exposure" including the sister work. And even more than that, the opening song "Me And My Teddy Bear" is a hit song by Rosemary Clooney, but rather than a well-crafted cover, it is the same as singing it improvised with only electric piano in the background. However, this is a big hit. The audience also starts laughing, which enhances the intimate feeling of the club. This is why "The Roxy" is special. This is Millard's new masterpiece that allows you to experience a club gig that is different from any other venue. If you have experienced the sister work "ROXY 1978 1ST NIGHT", you will already have your mind made up, but if you have not experienced it, please try this one. The closed room feeling of bare skin will surely make you want to listen to the sister work. Not just the best, but the latest in the collection of individualists. The best audience recording of the "Roxy performance (early show) on September 30, 1978". A masterpiece created from the master cassette of absolute master Mike Millard, this is a sister work of the late show masterpiece "ROXY 1978 1ST NIGHT" on the same day and a different concert. The well-balanced sound is wonderful, and you can also enjoy "Me And My Teddy Bear" and "Indigo" that you couldn't hear there.
