Do not sell this recording. Trade freely, losslessly and gaplessly. comments: The final show for Jean-Luc Ponty's lengthy "Imaginary Voyage" tour. 3 months later I saw JLP play a show from the Enigmatic Ocean tour in Boston but opted to up this show first partly because it's a good twin-bill with Renaissance, and I thought the material in this show was more interesting. (and it's earlier in the year) I liked the 76 band better than this one (especially Norm Fearrington on the drums, he was very good w/JLP's band), but this was also a good band. Ralph Armstrong was solid on the bass, Steve Smith is a Boston boy and this Western Mass. show was as close to a hometown gig for him as they got on this tour (unless I missed something.) I don't know if this is the same fellow as in "Vital Information", I think he is the same fellow. A good drummer. Allan Zevod and Daryl Steurmer were Ponty band mainstays for awhile, Steurmer would join Genesis just a few months after this concert, replacing the departed Steve Hackett. This band had been together for awhile at this point and seemed to know and play their material quite well. this is not one of the best recordings I will upload, but it is quite listenable, not too much crowd noise, only a few minor flaws, all the instruments come through. If you like Ponty of the mid to late 70's, my favorite time for his solo work since leaving Frank Zappa in 1973, I think you'll find this show and recording to be enjoyable to hear. Both were rather standard length sets, Ponty's was the opener. This was one of my first audience recordings. I think it's all there, maybe a little missing for a flip cut somewhere but if so, only a few seconds missing. Fortunately by this point I had learned the basics of recording a concert, like when to flip a cassette tape. This was my 2nd Ponty show (1st with a recorder) and 1st Renaissance concert, and it would not be my last for either. 1.flac:6d2c7609972f84104a1bbcacc9ec6fa5 2.flac:5691b3fc6b82f31545ddab3b318025e6 3.flac:f5a2b3cc22744738f1e05bdc0307f78a 4.flac:c060ab88aa415ce60c1f756d17fd99f0 5.flac:d744c9ef92b8d88788b7fb6aef6df1fb 6.flac:3c675c3c6567d98486f99856895573b9 7.flac:8a4fe51e50dabe10e13acbc8cfe05af2 8.flac:d604adc10f77940e50955e4866f019a9 |
