Genesis - St. Louis 1976

Genesis, live at The Ambassador Theatre, St. Louis, 23rd April 1976

A quality audience recording for it's age, better than some I've heard of much less a vintage. Recorded just after the departure of Peter Gabriel, and featurinf two drummers to replace the excellence of Collins, sadly he doesn't match Gabe for songwriting in my book but then these are still the same songs!

Rolling Stones - Backstage Limited/Lyon 1976

The Rolling Stones, Live at Palais Des Sports Lyon, June 9th 1976

This is a really great sounding boot, soundboard sourced, and has some of my alltime favourite Stones tunes, Get Off Of...You Gotta Move, Happy, can you tell that I love Exile On Main Street yet? Though Mick is a bit off, I'm pretty sure this is very, very commmon, the band is tight, just like the setlist. The Stones at their peak...
