Description
Congress Centrum, Hamburg, Germany 29th June 1976 STEREO SBD
★UPGRADE!!! Ultra-high quality sound board!!
”A TRICK OF THE TAIL Tour” welcomed virtuoso Bill Bruford and took on the dream team. A new soundboard album that will inject that miraculous ensemble into your brain has been discovered! The highest peak matrix master, completed with the finest audience, will be released on Press 2CD!
This work permanently preserves the “Hamburg Performance on June 29, 1976.” It is a stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of professional records of the “A TRICK OF THE TAIL Tour,” the press super masterpiece “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976 (Virtuoso 426/427)” and the official video “GENESIS: IN CONCERT” reign as symbols, but this work is on par with those two masterpieces. First, let’s take a bird’s-eye view of the activities at that time and check their respective positions.

[Newly discovered shocking soundboard master]
This is GENESIS in 1976. “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976” was born from “North America” at the beginning of the tour, and the official “IN CONCERT” was born from the final “UK # 2”, but this work’s Hamburg performance is in the middle. It was the 14th performance of “Europe”, the Continental Europe edition.
This work, which conveys such a show, is an eye-opening, superb soundboard. Previously, only audience recordings were known, but recently, new soundboards have been discovered. Collectors around the world are excited at this very moment. Moreover, this work is the highest-ranking matrix master. Perhaps because it is a new discovery after a long time, several versions with original mastering have already begun to appear, and some may have heard versions patched with poor-sounding audience recordings. Of course, this work is different. Although this work also uses audience recording, it is highly praised for its exquisite finish and “this is the best.”
[Meticulously crafted official-grade Matrix sound]
In fact, the sound is “fully official grade,” with the soundboard’s ultra-direct sound remaining intact, beautiful and dynamic. The audience is not patchwork, but rather a very natural matrix finish with no splices. The actual work involved has been revealed, and both masters have been corrected for pitch, slight phase shifts and balance, and noise has been carefully treated. In particular, the AUD master is particular about eliminating even loud applause and whistling in line with the SBD. The resulting sound is in no way inferior to the genuine official “IN CONCERT.”
Such a sound depicts the dream full show of “Climax GENESIS + Bill Bruford”. The tour fixed set is familiar from “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976” and others, but it is about 2.7 times more similar than the awfully short “GENESIS: IN CONCERT”, and its contents are also the essence of the progressive era. Here, let’s organize it again while comparing it with the official video.
●Trick of the Tale (5 songs)
・Dance On A Volcano (★)/Robbery, Assault and Battery (★)/Entangled/Squonk (★)/Los Endos
●Gabriel era (11 songs)

”A TRICK OF THE TAIL Tour” was the dominant force in “DEFINITIVE PITTSBURGH 1976” until now. Just before its 50th anniversary, this is the second apex sound board that suddenly appeared. It maximizes its potential and is the highest peak matrix master recognized by collectors around the world. Please enjoy it anytime and anywhere with the Press 2CD, which will never lose its brilliance.
