The Summit, Houston TX

I recently picked up this version of the show because it had Burning Rope, but in terms of sound quality it seems to me that it is identical to the "non pre-FM" version on the Movement's list - some minor dropouts and distortion on bass pedals. Since Burning Rope was never aired by KBFH, it makes me wonder if someone just added the song from Archives II to the non pre-FM version to make it more complete. [pablo]

Probably the best 1978 recording. G. [Gigio67]

I compared the sound from Burning rope from Archives 2 to this one and it indeed seems that someone just fitted it into here and did a play with some equalisation. The balance of the instruments and the ambience doesnt fit the other songs from the recording. Phils voice is more up into the mix which is common if professionally mixed. Effects are clearer hearable. The other songs have mikes bass guitar more up in the mix where you can hear it is actually picked. Its more burried in Burning rope. So its just a copy paste job. I don't hear the effects on the synthesizers from Banks well on burning rope. But the lady lies reveals them all... Copy Pastejob is my bet. [santibanks]

This is a nice recording; sound is great overall. It's a shame we don't have a complete show and that the drum duet and the Squonk reprise in Los Endos was omitted. Nevertheless, I loved what was here. [duke23]

From the Wolfgang's Vault stream. [Simon_Funnell]

This is an incomplete show (obviously) and it is odd to see the Drum Duet split from Dance and Los Endos but it is a good show to have none the less. Personally, I don't mind the fact that it is an Internet stream, but many do. [BPDNEDCID]

For an internet stream i think the sound is great.Also i put the drum solo back where it belongs. [Squonkendos]

Top notch! Seamless editing, no ads. Nuff said! [Duke23]

This is the final North American show of 1978. About an hour of it was broadcasted on radio back in the day which has made this one of the most well-known shows of the tour. Burning Rope was also released on the Archive 2 box set, and The Fountain of Salmacis was used on the Three Sides Live album.

For decades, it's been a wide debate on where the Three Sides Live rendition of Salmacis had come from - many had argued it coming from this show, but without any strong evidence other than attendees claiming so. This soundboard release however confirms it once and for all, so it's nice to put this legendary debate to rest.

A very nice sounding show, it is only a shame that King Biscuit saw fit to cut 'Los Endos', which is missing the whole 'Squonk reprise' section. Bizarre - makes it sound like Genesis played it that way, but still, the CD is worth getting for the excellent version of 'Cinema Show' alone. 'Burning Rope' from Archive 2 is taken from this show. [LivingForever]

Although not a complete gig, this one is worth having for the excellent sound, and one of the best performances of The Cinema Show ever. [Jesper Moonen]

True, this is a great upgrade over Highland's version, but I still detect some slight distortion on the heavy bass pedal parts, so I cannot give it an A+. Rutherford's twelve-string after the drum solo in Cinema Show is the most aggressive I have ever heard from him! [pablo]

I agree with pablo on that one. Still, GREAT sounding recording and fabulous show. If they ever released a complete show from this tour from the vaults, this might well be the best pick. [kaspergm]

Non fu Peter a stare male, ma Tony Banks. Quattro pezzi da non dimenticare mai. Un ricordo della mia gioventù stupendo. [GOGAMIGOGA]

"Again a show from my vault, this come from a remaster I make ages ago
from an old tape. The tape's label was something as "Houston Fm master reels".
I don't know if the label was true, I don't remember well as are too many years;
I've doubt about Fountain being played in Houston too and if the songs are in the correct order.
So I upload as I've found, with artwork scanned from the cd-r I've made at the time.

This is the final North American show of 1978.

This is a previously unheard audience source of the show, which is incomplete. However, it contains every song that's missing from all previous sources, which in turn now completes the show.

For decades, it's been a wide debate on where the Three Sides Live rendition of The Fountain of Salmacis had come from - many had argued it coming from this show, but without any strong evidence other than attendees claiming so. This audience source release confirms it once and for all, so it's nice to put this legendary debate to rest.
