Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles CA

Pre-FM Version. Artwork has tracks re-ordered.

Previously Hidden.

Superb quality recording.. much better than the "Emerald City" LP boot. Very gritty performance and possibly the best version ever of The Musical Box! Only a shame there isn't a bit more Lamb material. [pablo]

Nice and clean recording; and the TM version sound even more better! G. [Gigio67]

It's a welcome addition to every fan collection, however, I still prefer the TM Productions remaster, which sounds better to me [Jack_Floyd]

Excellent remaster. The sound is as great as on the official boxed set. [mdekoning]

Best version of this radio show. G. [Gigio67]

This is The Shrine boot that sounds better to my ears. This is probably the most worthy existing version of the radio show and the gig. [Jack_Floyd]

Remaster Notes:

The purpose of this project was to create an unadulterated version of this show without the dozens of overdubs included in the Archive and 50th anniversary releases. The Intro from the Archive set was used for this project along with the complete Part 2 story from the anniversary box set digital download.

- Plug-ins from Waves, Izotope Ozone Advanced, and Plugin Alliance were used.
- Additional EQ via Har-Bal 3.7

I completed the initial remaster of this project back in 2022, then made some major changes to it in 2023. I sat with it until a couple of months ago when I made some additional minor changes, including the inclusion of the complete Part 2 story, matching the reverb as best I could to the WV material. The overall reverb from the WV material has been brought down some, making this set sound a little less distant. Izotope's Master Rebalance was used to bring the drums up a bit in the mix, and instances of feedback were removed using Izotope RX 11. (I may have missed a couple, as I haven't run through the whole show in a while.) This whole set may receive a remix (DeMix) at some point, but this version sounds pretty good to me as is. As always, your mileage may vary.

This is the Steven Ruckman remaster of my AV07.
He did a great remaster, improving many little details all the sound purists will notice and will be happy with.
I'd strongly recommend getting this one.

Unremastered from the stream at Wolfgang's Vault. This version has the Story Of Rael Part 2 in the right place. [Simon_Funnell]

Gotta give it an A for simple reason that you cannot save it to disk (yet!). That said, it would still get an A from me for the overall quality of the musical performance by the band on the night. Tony's work on Carpet Crawlers; the band is truly out of sorts on "Back in NYC" (and I think it is Phil's fault) - and of course, the infamous dropping of sticks during "It" - not sure I've heard him so out of sorts. And, to be sure, Pete never really had a "great night" with the entirety of the vocal demands - additional difficulty for costume work notwithstanding. I mean, there was a reason, beyond simple vanity, that he chose to overdub new vocals before this gig was released with the boxed set. Holy Grail? hardly. Give me PRRPGS09 any day for a complete lamb experience. Until someone finds the complete set from Empire Pool when the guys were in top form. Peace! [jrromman]

Seems to have some sort of tape squeal just before the start of TLLDOB? [yild4genesis]

Classic only because it was released as part of Genesis Archive, otherwise, this is a sub-par Lamb performance, probably only interesting under a historic and completist POV. That's not to say there are no highlights ("The Chamber Of 32 Doors", "The Waiting Room", "The Colony Of Slippermen" and "The Musical Box" spring to mind), but when the flaws (incomplete and muffled playout after "In The Cage", Collins' weird vocalisation during "The Carpet Crawlers", Gabriel's erratic wording "Anyway", noises in the "Here Comes The Supernatural Anaesthetist" and the dropped drumstick during "It") are more interesting to hear than the music itself and better concerts (Berkeley, Cascais, Frankfurt, Dortmund, London, Southampton and, specially, Liverpool) are already in circulation, this show is hardly essential.

CD version of old vinyl boot As Through Emerald City [squonkman]

oh, and like good ol Scott McMahan, I too detect a slowness during Musical Box on this version [squonkman]

Wolfgang's Vault rip -> bootleg 'silver' CD [Simon_Funnell]

The Shepperton 73 footage never looked any better! [Jesper Moonen]

MPEG / DivX video. German TV.

The performances on this film don't match those on the Shrine recordings. Also there are photographs from Berkeley 22/1/75 showing a camera crew, so it's suspected they are really from there. [doublebassy]

The most common (and popular) vinyl-boot, pressed since 1975. The first press has yellow cover and white label, the second has blue cover, the third has red cover, the fourth has black&white. [lamb79]

This must be one of the very first Genesis bootlegs - along with with the 'Bedside Yellow Foam' - in major circulation - I certainly had tape copies in the late '70s. Note the taper managed to get IT, unlike the 'official' copy on Archive I! [xNearDark]

Forgot to say - original vinyl was Takrl 1945 or 19413/183, both produced by The Amazing Kornyfone Recording Label. [xNearDark]

I got the original boot with that (obviously fake) "Quadraphonic Sounds" reported on the cover :-) ; still a great piece. [Gigio67]

From 1st Gen tape.

This particular recording sound quality varies between B+ and B, but remains almost all the time in B+...
During the Interlude between "Here Comes The Supernatural Anaesthetist" and "The Lamia", the roadies that are preparing the stage for the Lamia visual effects (The giant painted cone), differently from the rest of the tour, make a lot of noise when dropping something, which is pretty audible in this recording...
