Peter Gabriel solidified his solo career in 1978 with "PETER GABRIEL (SCRATCH)" produced by Robert Fripp. Mike Millard's treasured recording that conveys the scene is now available. What is infused into this work is “September 30, 1978 West Hollywood Performance (Late Show)”. This is a superb audience recording recorded at the legendary club “THE ROXY”. Speaking of the symbol of that time, the professional shot when appearing on the famous program "ROCKPALAST" is also famous. Using that as a springboard, let's imagine the show's position based on the schedule at the time. [“SCRATCH” released on June 3rd]・August 23rd – September 16th: Europe #1 (17 performances) ←*ROCKPALAST・September 29th – November 24th: North America (39 performances) ←★Here ★・November 30th - December 24th: Europe #2 (22 performances) This is Peter Gabriel in 1978. With a style centered on the US tour and sandwiched between two European legs, the classic "ROCKPALAST" was the "#1 in Europe" record in the early stages. On the other hand, the West Hollywood performance of this work will be the third performance of the “North American” leg about two weeks later. A total of 4 performances were held at “THE ROXY” over the two days of “September 30th/October 1st”, and this work was also the “2nd performance on the first day”. Speaking of "Mirroard + THE ROXY", GENESIS's masterpiece "THE ROXY 1980 (Amity 621)" comes to mind, but this work is also a masterpiece. What's amazing is the feeling of being in a closed room that is unique to "THE ROXY". Although it is a mirrored recording that always overwhelms with its thick core and detailed details, this work is unusually “close”. In any case, there is no time lag between the sound output and the ringing, and the exposed core makes the sound right in front of your eyes. That should be it, in fact, it was recorded really close. “THE ROXY” is also a venue that can be called a mirrored garden, and when two performances were held in one day, there was a service where if you purchased tickets for two performances, you would receive preferential seating on the second stage. . Of course, it was customary for Millard to attend both performances and record both, but the late show had better sound. And on this day, my preferred seat was so close that I could almost touch Peter (literally, not figuratively). On the other hand, although it inhales a lot of enthusiasm for a Millard work, it also has a closed-door feeling unique to “THE ROXY”. It is a rare live album that allows you to fully enjoy the reality of being in a legendary club and the direct feeling of feeling the band on your skin. What is depicted with such intimate sound is a full show that is a little different from “ROCKPALAST”. Let's organize the sets while comparing them here. 1st album: CAR (7 songs) ・Moribund The Burgermeister/Humdrum/Waiting For The Big One/Slowburn (★)/Solsbury Hill/Modern Love/Here Comes The Flood 2nd album: SCRATCH (9 songs) ・On The Air/Perspective /A Wonderful Day In A One-Way World (★) / Home Sweet Home (★) / D.I.Y. (★) / Mother Of Violence (★) / Flotsam And Jetsam (★) / Animal Magic (★) / White Shadow Others ( 3 songs) ・3rd album (MELT): I Don't Remember ・Others: A Whiter Shade Of Pale (★: PROCOL HARUM) / The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (GENESIS) *Note: "★" mark is a major standard professional A song that cannot be heard in the shot “ROCKPALAST 1978”. ...and it looks like this. At that time, Peter was changing the set significantly for two performances a day, but perhaps because of that, it is quite different from “ROCKPALAST”. What stands out above all else are the new songs from ``SCRATCH,'' and you can enjoy tons of exclusive songs exclusive to this tour, such as ``A Wonderful Day In A One-Way World,'' ``Home Sweet Home,'' ``Flotsam And Jetsam,'' and ``Animal Magic.'' is. Of course, it's not just new songs. The previous work “Slowburn” and GENESIS’ “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” will no longer be played by this tour, and even more valuable is PROCOL HARUM’s cover “A Whiter Shade Of Pale”. The only time Peter sang this super famous station was in 1978. You can enjoy that valuable scene with Mirrored Sound. Peter Gabriel's early solo experience at the legendary club. This is the real thrill. Although it is a mirrored recording, what emerges from this work is not the spectacle or beauty of symmetry in a large venue, but the feeling of a closed room and secrecy. For that reason, the production of a permanent preservation press suitable for everyone was postponed, but on the other hand, it is a masterpiece of a wonderful live album for those who love the ultra-realistic sense of the scene. The best audience recording of "September 30, 1978 West Hollywood Performance (Late Show)". This is the master collection of the absolute master Mike Millard, and it has a wonderful sense of secrecy and secrecy that is unique to the legendary club "THE ROXY". It was recorded so close that you could actually reach out and touch Peter Gabriel, making it unusually "close". With super direct sound without the time lag of hall ringing, you can experience many valuable numbers such as "SCRATCH" numbers, "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway", and PROCOL HARUM's "A Whiter Shade Of Pale".
