"Rainbow
1977". Everything is in the title which immediately sets the stage,
temporal and formal promise of these set pieces, one of those
performances in which this time was fond and generous. This
live, captured in that famous room in London, wants to be a witness of
these great moments of rock, progressive or not, when groups used the
stage as a theater suitable for all extensions, boat launch to
instrumental paradise. Artist his time, although
his future "Rainbow Dome Musick" recorded two years later, will make him
a precursor, Steve Hillage book here, accompanied by a fabulous trio
(Curtis Robertson, Miquette Giraudy and Joe Blocker), a river filled
concert sumptuous guitar solos, keyboards galloping, all backed by a
rhythm section of the fire god ('Electrick Gypsies'). From its
teeming 15 minutes at the withers, 'Searching For The Spark' as such
constitutes the best example, where everyone is entitled to his moment
to him. De demonstration by box of 12 maybe, but English retain all
along a kind of warm relaxation makes them always pleasant and
exhilarating art, a lovely simplicity.Guitar virtuoso and (especially) a
former member of Gong , the master of the house not
yet watch ever stingy with grandiose electric effusions, like on 'Solar
Musick Suite (Part 2)' but delicate air, his playing takes all. While
some pinceront nose tackle this live another age, "Rainbow 1977" appears
to be still a moment of pure joy, despite its length. picking in the
first three albums of the combo, starting with " Motivation Radio
"(Octave Doctors', 'Radio' ...) to which he then turns, this album is a
good opportunity to (re) discover the work of this iconic guitarist of
the school of Canterbury which is not tire to enjoy the light and
refined lines.
