ROXY MUSIC in 1976 was on the brink of disbanding, having made a breakthrough with the single "Love Is the Drug". Here is a soundboard album that will let you hear the live performance in your brain. This work was recorded at the "March 8, 1976 Hempstead Performance". This is a stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of live performances just before disbanding, our masterpiece pro shot "STOCKHOLM 1976: JAPANESE BROADCAST" is also well known, but of course this work is a different performance. In order to confirm the situation around that, let's first take a bird's-eye view of the activities at that time. 1975, February 8-March 7: North America #1 (19 performances) {John Wetton leaves → John Gustafson joins}, April 15-30: Oceania (8 performances) {June-September "SIREN" production}, October 2-23: UK (17 performances), November 14-December 1: North America #2 (12 performances) {Gustafson leaves → Rick Wills joins}, January 23-27, 1976: Sweden (5 performances) ←※STOCKHOLM, February 13-March 20, 1976: North America #3 (25 performances) ←★Here★ {July: ROXY MUSIC disbands} This is ROXY MUSIC in 1975/1976. They disbanded after "North America #3", but this Hempstead performance is the 15th performance. It was the final stage with less than two weeks until the last performance. Such a show was broadcast on the New York radio station "WLIR-FM" and has produced many existing groups. This work is the highest peak. It is a master provided by an overseas researcher, and is the broadcast version of 1984 when they disbanded again. It is a bit rough to call it official class, and it is a live type that is typical of radio broadcasting. There is almost no concert experience-like production, and the extremely thick performance sound and vocals are exposed. This may seem like a direct connection to the mix table, but it is a little different. Eddie Jobson's violin is strong, but the ensemble is well balanced, and the whole band is a strong sound that approaches as a wall of sound. Such a power sound board depicts a stage with a delicious number that is rare only at that time. Let's check the contents here. Siren (4 songs) Sentimental Fool / Love Is The Drug / Whirlwind (★★) / Both Ends Burning Others (8 songs) Country Life: The Thrill Of It All / Bitter-Sweet / Out Of The Blue Others: Mother Of Pearl / Sea Breezes (★) / For Your Pleasure / Diamond Head (★★) / Wild Weekend (★★) *Note: The "★" mark indicates songs that have not been played since the reunion. In particular, "★★" is a limited edition song only for the "SIREN Tour". ... and so on. "Diamond Head" is a selection from Phil Manzanera's solo album, and "Wild Weekend" is a selection from Andy Mackay's solo album. It is inevitable that it will be very different from the official "VIVA!", which was put together from various eras, but in fact it is also quite different from the direct pro shot "STOCKHOLM 1976". Only five songs are overlapping, "The Thrill Of It All", "Mother Of Pearl", "Out Of The Blue", "Diamond Head" and "Wild Weekend", making it a live album that doesn't seem like it was from the same tour. 12 days after this work, ROXY MUSIC finished their world tour and collapsed. This is a soundboard album that allows you to fully enjoy the subtleties of such a live performance in the final days. It is a vivid album with a group of masterpieces that you can't expect after the reunion and the tension that comes with the collapse. Stereo soundboard recording of "March 8, 1976 Hempstead performance". The best master provided by an overseas researcher on the FM soundboard broadcast on WLIR in 1984. The extremely thick performance sound and vocals are exposed, and the liveliness that is typical of broadcasting is also vivid. Eddie Jobson's violin is strong, but the ensemble is well balanced, and the entire band approaches as a wall of sound. You can enjoy the final stage of the golden age less than two weeks before the disbandment concert. Calderone Theater, Hempstead, NY, USA 8th March 1976 STEREO SBD (63:14) 1. Sentimental Fool 2.
