More Fool Me (conclusion) 7. Interview with Mike & Phil The Show This evening's performance in the middle of the 2nd American Selling England tour was frustrating and brilliant at the same time. The equipment problems that plagued this tour were particularly bad this night, and at times you can hear Gabriel and Collins losing some of their usual tolerance in the face of continual microphone problems. Gabriel comments at one point that "we'll go professional next week", and Collins; "I bet you wish you'd gone to the pictures". The intro to 'I Know What I Like' is aborted at one point. Never-the-less, this is a great musical performance, and one of the better recordings of a show from this tour. Firth of Fifth is given a particularly emotive performance, and Phil varies some of his vocal lines in More Fool Me nicely. There is also an interview with Mike and Phil, including the end of their performance in the studio of 'More Fool Me', which was broadcast on Boston's WBCN radio, and which seems to be previously unknown. The Recording This recording has been remastered from Steve Hopkins' transcription of his master tape, which he generously sent me. The recording was made on a Sony TC-55 with built in condenser microphone. The tape was transferred using a Nakamichi DR-2 cassette deck to Sony TCD-60ES DAT recorder at 44.1KHz with Super Bit Mapping (which really improves the clarity of the sound), before being transferred to CD. The recording is mono, but clear and with significant detail. The only limitation with this tape is that it does not represent the entire show, as The Battle of Epping Forest, and possibly Horizons (if they performed it this evening) are missing. There are also a few minor edits in the recording, and one of these may have omitted Phil's one-handed drum solo, which one is tempted to think they must have performed given the amount of technical difficulties. This recording has been widely in circulation, most commonly through the Highland disc 'More Fool Me'. I don't have a copy of this, but my impression is that while it is a complete transcription sourced from a low generation tape, it is very bright in the upper midrange, and lacking in richness in the bass. The master tape by contrast, is more balanced overall, and with a rich bass presence. The afternoon before the show, Phil and Mike came into Boston's WCBN studios, performed 'More Fool Me' and gave a short interview. This interview has not been previously in circulation, but Steve had a recording of it, unfortunately missing all but the last 50 secs or so of 'More Fool Me'. But at least it exists and is included in this release. The Remaster I took only one channel of Steve's transcription, so as to optimize for mono. I denoised the recording minimally, mostly just to sharpen up the treble a little. Eq balance was pretty good, although I attenuated the lower midrange a little around 200Hz to compensate for a slight boxiness in the microphone. I have made a few small crossfade edits at points where the tape was turned on and off during some of the technical hold ups in the show to provide a little more continuity. I cannot pick the point at which Epping Forest is missing from the recording, I assume it must have been played, especially as Phil and Mike comment in the interview about the show running nearly two hours - this recording comes in at just over 90 mins. There are also a few squeaky noises on the master recording, which may come from the cassette recorder, or even the seating at the venue. These sounds were quite distracting, so I have removed them. There was a very noticeable one at the beginning of Tony's piano intro to Firth of Fifth, and others in the opening section of Musical Box.
