REVIEW: |
This
release presents onve again the 2nd show in Hamburg from 1973.
This
concert was released at first on vinyl with 3 tracks on The Stars in the Sky
Never Lie (Caution 197/810-11), 2 songs appeared on Jean Clarke Memorial Sonic
Barbecue (TAKRL 1919), 2 songs on Sonic Barbecue (Beacon Island 25717), 3 songs
on A German Affair (TMOQ-92), 2 on Tour Over Germany 1973 (TSP 300-36), 1 song
is on Radio Caroline (27444 A/B).
On compact it
came out on cdr on Satisfaction, Hamburg 73 Tapes, which offered both shows and
then on Hamburg
73 Oct. 2, 2nd show. On silver discs then The Stars in the Sky Never
Lie (VGP-ASTS 19781) in 2005 presented the full concert although three songs
were cut and one was incomplete; 2 songs can be found on The Jean Clarke
Memorial Sonic Barbecue (VGP 246) and on
The Stars in the Sky Never Lie (Midnight Beat 141), 1 song on Reflection
of a Stone Alone (VGP 043) and 2 on The Stars in the Sky They Never Lie (DAC
100); 2 songs are found on Best of Europe 73 (Hot Lips 003 3505). Recording of
this concert can also be found on Give Me A Hamburger cdr in bad quality. In
2003 came out The German Affair (PGN 046) that had a complete recording from
the same source as Stars in the Sky (VGP-Asts 19781) but offering a lower
generation and in 2010 3 tracks were featured on 1973 Tour (WLR 2135) 13 cd and
1 DVD box. In 2018 was then released Hamburger Concerto (Tarantura TCDRS
49-1,2) together with the first show, but there are some doubts on the origin
of Disc Two; it was followed in 2020 by The Complete Hamburg Tapes 1973 (DAC
193) that had a mono recording and in 2023 The Stars in the Sky They Never Lie
(No Label) that had also a rip of the vinyl version tracks.
This
recording here starts quite bad with Brown Sugar quite saturated and with the
usual low fidelity provided by the venue itself, it seems, however this won’t
be regarded as the find of the year. 2 stereo tracks from the vinyl version have
been added at the end. Packaging is nice as usual for these kind of releases;
the audio quality is questionable though since usually vocals and lead
instruments (guitar, sax) are clearly audible but all the rest is a saturated mud.
If only the full source used for the vinyl releases would be available that
would be an improvement!
