some site said this one contains only March 1st.

I compared audience recording of the Feb 28 and March 1st with this.
at least, without doubt, this is 3 nights compilation.

  2. We Will Rock You (fast)
  3. Let Me Entertain You
  4. Somebody To Love
  5. Fat Bottomed Girls

I was given the whole of Gabriel collection on tapes from the good friend MBT the other day. He used to be an avid Gabriel
collector back in the 80¥s but he had also attended many concerts in the Paris area even before, like for example one of
the Olympia gigs from September 1980 where he could even get Gabriel¥s tambourine which he used to throw in the air at the
end of Solsbury Hill.

A week ago, I was at his place and we were planning to go and eat a nice indian restaurant. We drove with my car in the
outskirts of Paris. I had asked him to provide me with a few tapes from his collection to transfer. But when we came back from
the restaurant, he simply handed over to me his whole collection (mostly covering the 1977-1994 period asking me to look at
it and transfer those tapes I would find interesting.

WOW! Another monster task to do. I obviously started from the first tour and found many gems, in particular from the french tour.
MBT used to be an active trader with other fellow french traders, so I guess that his collection from there could be something
of interest. Plus he used to record on the radio any sort of interviews or special about Gabriel so I do not doubt that I will
find some treasures.

I do not know if we can label this one as “treasure” but I never saw this one circulating and, despite the quite poor quality,
this is a nice capture of PG¥s first tour. Possibly of the the best performances musicwise by the band. You can clearly hear
the audience on fire keep asking for encores. At the end four encores were played that night. Peter addresses the audience in
french and greets Paris, so there is no doubt this comes from the Olympia which, by the way, is a rather shitty venue to record
shows despite being of the temples of rock music in Paris.

Full set including Animal Magic and one Genesis encores which was not played that often during that leg of the tour.
Somehow for completists only, but aren¥t we all completists here at The Movement???

Comments:

From Pigland East – This tape is complete and with only one minor
cut–a very brief tape flip at 44:03 into the second set, which
indicates the taper was using a 90 minute cassette. As usual, FRP strives
to bring you the best possible sound without destroying the archival value
of the source tape by attempting a heavy remastering job.

The audience claps after the 3rd verse during ‘Pigs (3DO)’ and Roger did
not squeal a number. The audience is generally very quiet and respectful,
which is a refreshing change from the standard audience recording of this
tour. Not a single firework to be heard! David performs an incredible jam
during ‘SOYCD (Pts. 6-9)’. This is truly a recording of a band playing at
its peak.

From Pigland West – I’m listening to the show again. What strikes
me the most is the amazing clarity of the recording and the polite and
obviously captivated audience. They are like a Japanese audience–quiet
when they should be and clapping/cheering where appropriate. Hard to believe
they are French (just kidding Pigland Europe!). The performance, I think,
is rather uninspired but certainly an excellent and competent one. A bit
mechanical, maybe. Does David mess up the words in one of the songs?

Other Comments: So what do YOU think, dear listener? If you get a copy of this
release, please feel free to post a short review to the PF fan group of your
choice.

NOTES:
Source 1a was used for most of the show. It’s the best out there, athough incomplete, and the
sound quality is a bit lesser in the second part (with a bit of hiss).

This source was torrented at Dime in january 2010 by borispider (traded CDRs).

Source 1b is from the same recording, but includes more of the show (except the very end). It was
used for the beginning of the concert, most of Sparks, The Acid Queen, Fiddle About,
Summertime Blues, My Generation.

This source is from unknown CDRs.

Source 2 is from an average but still clear recording, and sounds very compressed (either a very
lossy conversion or a heavy noise reduction). It was used for the end of Dremaing From The Waist,
the beginning of Sparks, the intro to Pinball Wizard and the bridge between Roadrunner and WGFA.

This source is from unknown CDRs

Source 3 is the worst sounding of the four, and was used only for the 4 beats introducing Won’t Get
Fooled Again, which I didn’t find on any of the other versions.

This source is from a 1st gen cassette (previously uncirculating).

All sources were processed with more or less EQ, especially source 1a and 1b which were quite dull

The Band – Paris, France (05/25/71)

The Band
L’Olympia

AM radio recording > low gen. cassette >
Pioneer CT-757 > Sony PCM-M10 > WAV > TLH > FLAC

01 radio intro

04 Up On Cripple Creek
05 The W.S.Walcott Medicine Show
06 Unfaithful Servant
07 Don’t Do It
08 Rag Mama Rag
09 Slippin’ & Slidin’

after giving this a listen, I decided to seed this ‘as is’!
the recording is pretty hard to listen to I think,
pitch is pretty much okay, but not perfect,
nothing that I would want to work on given the quality.

anyways, I guess this is a pretty rare show with
The Band in their prime, thanks to banatom for the source.
