The penultimate show of the Trick tour, and the second of a two night run in Glasgow.

The version of The Cinema Show on Seconds Out does in fact come from here (and not Paris as commonly mislabeled), and unknown to most, Phil overdubbed all of his vocals on the release for some reason. The It/Watcher medley was released on the Three Sides Live album, too.

The band hired a bagpipes player to come out and play some 'Scottish music' before Supper's Ready.

Japanese LaserDisc -> DVD-R

My version seems to be cropped correctly but it has an issue where one channel is really more biased than the other. So much so that you can't really hear much of anything in the other channel. Picture looks great though. It is too bad so much of this footage is interspersed with very strange stock footage of completely unrelated material. If only the full show would see the light of day.

Great DVD! The 'In Concert' section is the best version of this video that I have watched. The audio in all sections is wonderful, really the best. Although some sections like 'Ranbow 1977' has not a reaaly good image, the sound is fantastic. Another great GMDVD! [ragnarock]

Absolutely the best transfer for "In Concert 1976" (look and sounds great), a worthy and little outsync Dallas 1977, a curious lo-q Rainbow short promos and a not-so-bad extracts from Knebworth. Another must-have GMDVD release. [Gigio67]

MPEG / DivX video.

Nice collection as a whole. The two of note are the Seconds Out Promo in Dallas and the In Concert 76 film. A couple of these in here; I believe Hamburg and In concert 76 are really heavy on one channel. The other stereo channel is almost nonexistent. Not sure if this is just my copy or what. Hamburg is just clips all over the place set against the backdrop of Squonk and White Mountain. They don't match the video at all. The Rainbow material is primarily set against audio from the Wind and Wuthering Album but is synced up pretty well. The Mike Douglas footage is nice to have but dismal quality. The band cut Your Own Special Way to 4 minutes or so but Afterglow is complete. That material is also a lip sync to the Wind and Wuthering Studio cuts. All in all pretty nice to have all this in one place but Hamburg and Rainbow aren't really essential in my humble opinion. [duke23]

I also wanted to add that portions of the Dallas material have some tape damage. [duke23]

Special Widescreen Edition

I obviously prefer that fullsized transfer to the cropped one; the whole quality is good but the audio track has an uncorrect rightsided balance and the picture is greenish and poor thinking it comes from a laserdisc. Waiting for the official reprint or an Epping group improvement. [Gigio67]

More 'zoomed' than other copies which has led to some cropping.

There's also a "widescreen" version of this that isn't cropped. [kotti]
