801: Live 1976 + Live @ Hull 1977


This is a sophisticated musical project of great 70' s musicians , released in 1976 , by Virgin Records , in the middle of the Punk Era .

 801 provided Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera with one of his most intriguing side projects. Although the band only played three gigs in August and September 1976, this album captures a night when everything fell right into place musically. That should only be expected with names like Eno and Simon Phillips in the lineup. (Still, the lesser-known players -- bassist Bill MacCormick, keyboardist Francis Monkman, and slide guitarist Lloyd Watson -- are in exemplary form, too.) The repertoire is boldly diverse, opening with "Lagrima," a crunchy solo guitar piece from Manzanera.

801 - LIVE @ HULL 1977  
            

801 Live @ Hull  released throughThe Phil Manzanera Archives in 2000, is a must have for 801 and Phil Manzanera fans and collectors, but please don't expect the amazing sound quality of the first "801 Live" release. This is an "Archive" release and what it's lacking in sound quality compared to the 1st "801 Live" , it makes up for with a great selection of songs and considering how many live 801 recordings there are, this should be a welcome edition to any fans collection

Fans of the original 801 Live album will know and love the songs found here. This was recorded during

the famous 1977 tour and features a number of songs found on that classic recording. Of course, Eno is not here and the same excitement and tight playing are not found. However, this is still a very good album. Manzanera released this in 2000 as part of his Archive Series and intended it for fans or collectors. However, this album is a great example of late-'70s prog/art rock. Yes, the long-drawn-out guitar solos are here, but these are interesting, melodic solos; they fit the songs and actually add a great deal. The music is a great cross section of Manzanera's pre-1977 history. Roxy Music is represented here, with a blistering version of "Out of the Blue" featuring Eddie Jobson that is brilliant, with a great

violin solo and wonderful arrangements. Also here is some of Manzanera's best solo material, including the brilliant "Diamond Head." Also worth note is the 801 take on "Tomorrow Never Knows" known here as "TNK", sounding eerie and frightening with atmospheric vocals. The sound quality is not the best, but it is lacking the typical overdubs so often found on live recordings, and for that reason it is worth extra points. This really is a treasure for Manzanera fans, but others might find something of interest here as well.

  5. Hello..upon visiting this site and locating a desirable link, I land on Zippyshare I am prompted with a large pop "Add Youtube Downloader", this pop up blocks the entire screen. additionally there's no X to exit out. On the right there are two other popups claiming: "Your iPhone 12 Pro is ready to ship". I now perform an F5 keyboard action(only option) as there's no way to get off the screen with the large popup. A new popup occurs stating "Flash Payer Update Accept or Decline" as well as ZippyShare showing I a new message though no ZippyShare account. This was a similar experience yesterday. In the past an automatic download would begin, this is no longer the case perhaps due to the recent Firefox updates. Just though to advise. I have no other such popups on any other site. I might suspect the landing page has HTML code changes to allow such Java script (or similar). All of your pages appear fine as I navigate from one to the other within blogpsot.com - no issues, just the linked pages to Zippy which take me off your site. Thank you..hope this helps.

    1. I don't know what's going on with you. No one of our visitors have or had any problem with zippyshare. Something is going wrong with your PC and zippyshare. Hope to fix it.

  6. Thanks for the response, but I don't believe so. Here's why: the revised link from yesterday (rare hendrix) worked perfectly when you removed the zippyshare.com link and updated with mega.nz, wonderful..zero issues and no popups no ads. I've also tested this zippyshare on two different computers and with a VPN on and Off. same with zippyshare.com. I'd be happy to help with screen captures or whatever you wish. it's possible this is a new occurrence and no other users who have tried the link for 801 have had this occurrence. The last user at this particular link for 801 was from 2014, 7 years ago. Again, your site is not the issue, it's the landing page for zippyshare. Many thanks for you replies and help.

    1. Thank you for the information and your help. Try to download the "adblocker" to stop all the advertisments of zippyshare. It's very easy. Recomended.

  7. 801 Live has a bunch of overdubs for sure. No-one seems to mind as it happens to a lot of live concerts. The rehearsals on the deluxe edition show, ironically, that the live performance gave power to the studio recordings.

    A show worth tracking down is 801's performance at the Reading Festival 1976. It's got no overdubs and after the crowd STFU, it's as good if not better than 801 Live. If someone could quiet down the festival-goers a bit it would be great. I can't hate the chatterers, they had not much clue who this band down the bill were, and it wasn't a symphony concert, that's for sure.

    All the best!
