"Far from Faded" (Pt 2)

Genesis and Peter Hammill In Concert at the Montreal Sports Arena 21^st April 1974

Reviewed by Alan Hewitt

Most long standing Genesis fans will already no doubt, be familiar with this gig either through its legendary vinyl edition: "L'Ange Gabriel" or the more recent "Live In Montreal" CD. Both of which presented a marvellous recording of a marvellous gig.

The FAde committee have decided to issue this as their fourth release and many of you will be asking what makes this one worth getting? Well, quite a lot actually. First of all, you won't have to pay a FORTUNE to get a copy! Secondly, the sound recording is noticeably better than its predecessors and third; there are bonus bits! Yes folks; bonus bits...here you have the entire gig including a third disc which comprises the recording of opening act; Peter Hammill's set , not bad eh?

This is an excellent presentation of this memorable show. I am sure that quite a few fans will have vivid memories when they hear this one and it is heartily recommended - enjoy!
