GONG LIVE, ETC

I think this is the place to start with Gong....I believe this is the first time I realized the power of this group. I was sitting in a dark room with the first track blasted on an actual record and intensity of the drumming just swept me up. Thereafter I listened to all of the Gong records and found them to be extremely good, but none of them really capture the excitement of the group's loud sound which is why i feel this is an essential record of theirs. The first half is live in '73-74 if I'm not mistaken - the classic years. Just the first half is worth the price alone. Gong Est Mort doesn't seem to come close to the intensity of this record. Excellent CD!
