No press release, and no info in the CD sleeve either, apart from the fact that it was recorded in
Rome on 26/11/74. This would have been on the tour promoting their sixth album, 'The Power
and The Glory' which was their biggest-selling American release. Although the harmonies and
the musical interplay that made them such a hit with prog fans can just about be heard, this
album does suffer from a very poor production. This may be due to the quality of the source
tapes, but at times, it is just far too quiet, a problem that is not alleviated by turning up the
volume.This is an album for the fans only as it is far too much work for the casual listener, due to the poor nature of the sound quality. But if you already have the live albums that were released when the band were still going and want more, then this is a pleasant listen and a reminder of just how good this band could be. Just be wary of the fact that this is bootleg quality at best. Originally appeared in Feedback #61, Feb 01
