Info: Thanks to "AussieRock". "This concert was recorded at the Örebro Concert Hall, in Örebro, Sweden on September 12th, 1974.
The lineup consists of new drummer Pete Boot and the inclusion of a lengthy drum solo is probably an indication that Boot was a novelty at the time - but I'm sure this wore off pretty quickly as it is way too long. The track listing also indicates that the band was probably still testing out some of its new material from their up and coming album 'In For The Kill'.
The recording, although good for the era in which it was recorded, doesn't really do Shelley's vocals any real justice and his voice is lost somewhere in amongst a second rate PA system. What does make up for this short coming are Bourge's amazing guitar licks and ability to play rhythm at the same time. One disappointment is an annoying 5 second dropout in the middle of "Zoom Club". It is hard to know whether the taper actually stopped his tape on purpose (perhaps to flip the tape over) or whether there was a fault with the equipment. And the recording quality definitely improves throughout the concert.
The rip was taken from tape at 320kps and includes full album artwork. Some select photos of Budgie from the mid 70's are also included.".
