STEVE HILLAGE: Rainbow 77 Canadian review

Steve Hillage – Rainbow 1977 (2014 Gonzo Multimedia) It’s amazing what new audio technology can do. Listening to this concert, you would never guess it’s from 1977. The sound is crystal clear with great range, depth and separation. Steve Hillage, coming out of the UK’s Canterbury scene continues to hold great appeal to guitarists and Progressive Rock fans around the world. He’s incorporated a myriad of styles from psychedelic to ambient to electronic all the while keeping his guitar styling’s up front and centre. This concert recorded at the Rainbow Theater in 1977 features what today appears like a “greatest hits” package. It’s actually fascinating how many of these selections have remained in his concert set list. They clearly represent Hillage’s band and guitar technique in the best light possible. Coming off a couple of highly successful albums in 1975 and 1976, this live show presents Steve Hillage clearly at the top of his game. Definitely worth checking out. www.a-wave.com/system7
