Recording comments

Includes a remastered version of IT/Watcher from FADE 002.

FM -> DAT (used for parts of FAde 002)

Sounds better than FADE002 in my oppinion. Great show and a great release. [gedlynch]

Great improvement compared to Fade002; pitch is slightly downward to reach the right tune but none of the two versions match the correct notes :-) [Gigio67]

Yeah this is likely the best overall recording of this tour. A+ from me.

Highlights, the intros: Steve on Entangled, Mike on White Mountain; hearing the guys get back into backing vocal work with Phil now upfront (listen to Tony on those early BBC recordings, the guys could sing!); White Mountain in and of itself is a pearl; Mike's Moog Taurus pedals rock, especially on Cinema Show; hearing Phil learn how to interract with the crowd (calling them Baltimore after the opening number is precious!). Phil voice is superb here on everything.

Lowlights: Bill Bruford - Lord bless him - is no Chester Thompson, nuff said there. The very minute Phil jumps up behind the kit, Genesis returns. Compare Dance On A Volcano to Los Endos.

Audio is excellent for '76, or any other time. SAB is the gold standard for re-mix quality. A must have. [jrromman]

In some ways this is the best recording of the Trick tour. The In Concert film soundtrack and the King Biscuit 6.10.76 show simply do not capture the energy and grit of this raw, unmixed recording. As far as overall feel, I think this is the recording to have from 1976. However, the stereo signal is pretty narrow... it almost sounds monaural at times. So you do not get the wide sonic range of the aforementioned shows to let the music and instrumentation really "open up" to hear delicate subtleties. Basically you trade "polished", "clear" recordings for the authenticity and visceral feel of this show. [pablo]

For an FM broadcast from '76, this is excellent. Not like others where, even though you polish it, a turd is a turd :). A must have for any collector. [legalbeagle]
