Recording comments

Genesis sold out their 40 date two month British tour within a couple of hours when tickets went on sale at those venues which hadn’t already sold out on postal applications. While 106,000 people received tickets for the tour half a million were left dissapointed as the concerts were oversubscribed by more then 600%.

Because of massive demand for tickets in London Hammersmith concerts sold out on postal applications even before dates were officially confirmed. A situation made worse by the fact the Genesis fan club virtually “blocked booked “one night there.

After the second official date of the tour Phil caught laryngitis and the band cancelled concerts in Pourtsmouth and Bournemouth . There was some doubt as to whether the Hammersmith shows could go ahead.They did and this tape captures the first night taped from the second row of the Circle .

Hence the reference Phil makes “You thought we wouldn’t be here tonight didn’t you ?”

Great gig! Shame about the distortion present but it didn't take me out of the show. It's worth a listen for sure; especially to all of you Duke fans out there. [duke23]

Recording comments

From Master Tape. Heavily biased to the left and runs slow.

Thanks to Raf Porter this show has been re-masterd the bias has been re-moved and the tape speeded up. regards, Barry [earlofendos]
