BOSTON – Live… Long Beach ’77 [Alive The Live 2-CD Japan release only] , MP3+FLAC
We already posted a few days ago a marvelous BOSTON release by Japanese label King Street and their ‘Alive The Live’ series. Now we have another monster release capturing Boston at their peak: “Live… Long Beach ’77 [Alive The Live 2-CD Japan release only].
This release features the 2 shows Boston’s 1977 appearance in Long Beach on March 16th – ‘Early Show’ on CD1, and “Late Show” on CD2. The concert was broadcast for the King Biscuit Flower Hour while the band were making their studio album ‘Don’t Look Back, their second multi-platinum release, which was released that year.
Such a high quality live recording of Boston in their prime reveals that the polish and power they displayed on their studio recordings could be translated to the stage and was arguably, even more compelling.
With an emphasis on material from their classic first album plus exclusive live-only tracks like ‘Shattered Images’ and ‘Television Politician’, this is a must listen for all Boston and classic rock fans.
King Street ‘Alive The Live’ proudly presents the entire and original FM broadcast professionally remastered. Sound quality is excellent.
