comments:
This is I believe to be a complete recording (except the verbal
introduction of track 19 at flip of tape in the group set. No music
is missing at all from the opening to the encore) of GTR at the
Orpheum in Boston, one of the better shows and recordings I saw in the
80's. Drummer Jonathan Mover is from Peabody, Mass. (as announced in
the show) and without even knowing who wrote what songs on their album,
I had a chance to tell him my favorite song in this whole show was the
last one before the encore- which happens to be the only one he wrote,
so he was glad to hear that. Glad enough to trade me what would later
be released as the KBFH disc from Los Angeles, Ca. I bought that anyway,
since the recording was a sbd it sounded nice, and I was surprised how
good this one sounds. I must have had a good seat for the group set, and
so too for my friend who recorded the opening acoustic set. Not much
crowdnoise. The officially released show in LA is a good one too but I
think this was a little better. This also has some songs not included in
that disc ( tow the line, stop look and listen, and all the acoustic set)
A solid performance throughout, I thought, highlights included the Hunter
(very tight), Hackett to Bits, Imagining, Spectral Mornings and the group
opener, Jekyll & Hyde. Their encore, and I believe the only pop hit this
very poppy sounding (at times) band ever had, When the Heart rules the Mind
sounded good. The recording of all is nice quality, there is some mixing
weirdness in the 1st couple of group songs but not alot and nothing real
major. The 1st gen part may actually sound slightly better than some of
the group part because I think it had better mikes.
