THE MAKING OF... GALLEONS OF PASSION / STAGE '76

I have only the live part of the album as I already had the "Galleons of passion" studio version. The live concert is full of power, some improvisation and confirms the band's ability to replicate the focused studio efforts into a rawer stage outcome. Thankfully we can hear selections from the both first studio albums and the masterpiece "A passion condensed" in its entirety. There is a new piece called "Necronomicon" which is fine but does not match the released studio tracks. While the material is outstanding in general, playing is sometimes over the top and the sound is relatively mediocre. There I rate it with 4 stars.
