Hi y'all,
today 30 years ago was a magical evening when the history was made - THE Alchemy concert.
I wanted to commemorate this special date and thank the universe for making this possible
It is my all time favourite piece of music ever recorded. I think it brought out the very best and showed the top form of the band.
Just for the record, the previous night was also recorded and a part of it was used in the released concert too. The ending of Solid Rock was weird and messed up, so they used the ending from the previous night. This is the only part I was able to verify from the bootlegs, and it is really not a big deal at all.
That's why I think the statement which was written on the front cover under the painting is true imho, because really no overdubs or rerecordings were done.
Anyway, I think the most important band members which shaped the sound the most were MK of course, Terry W. and Alan C. Imho the songs were overally brought onto another level by Terry's playing, and also the interaction between these 3 is stellar. Imho Terry's form was superb, the best from his DS era I'd say.
Great rock and roll kinda mixed with bits of prog rock maybe, the interaction, the energy, pure musicgasm.
