This is a B quality bootleg from Gamma Ray’s initial tour, following the release of their debut album Heading For Tomorrow. While the recording is not the highest quality, you can certainly feel the vibe of the crowd and the band throughout the performance.
Probably the best part of the gig and the album is hearing so many songs from that first album give a live treatment. “Free Time” and “Money” are both great live, along with the ‘bonus’ track from that album (from the CD version, not the vinyl I’m afraid…) “Look At Yourself”.
While my rating of it does appear low, that is only because of the sound quality alone, not for the songs nor the band’s performance. Bootleg-listening is an art form, and to enjoy this to the maximum you have to be in the right mood, and the right place. Doing invoicing in your work environment is not the best place to experience it…
Rating: Early prehistoric Gamma Ray. 3/5.
