Tech Notes "I received this in a trade from someone in the UK, can´t remember who, around 1999 . I always liked this show a lot, Janik Top and Christian Vander are playing very tight especially on this one, IMHO. I found out recently, that where ever this is listed, it gets middle range sound ratings, whereas I would rate it a solid vg- ( (:- ) right away. I compared my copy with Nadir_53´s copy, and he said this sounded way better than his, so I am posting it here as an upgrade (hopefully).
Claude Olmos had left the group by this time, and Brian Godding was shortly in on guitar during June/July and probably August 74. This tape and the Grande Motte being the only known live tapes with him. (PLEASE READ COMMENTS BELOW! NEW INFO PROVES THIS UNCORRECT::::)
I am actually still wondering, if this might not as well be a soundboard tape, the bass sound is so clear and upfront in the mix without interfering with any of the other instruments. All instruments are clearly audible. I think it sounds pretty good. As with all Magma shows from this era, and to get the real idea of how dynamic the playing of this line-up was: PLAY THEM LOUD!
