about

This recording is from the second of two Steve Hillage Band shows played in Los Angeles, on their major US tour in 1977 supporting ELO – direct from Steve’s archives.

“Each of the LA shows had a full house of 15,000 people, most of whom were unfamiliar with our music. We had only a quite short set time as support act, and with the band firing on all cylinders and the excitement of playing to a large crowd, we were giving it a full power blast, which I think comes over well on this recording. Apart from the first track, a really good version of The Salmon Song, the set was all from the L album, and these early 1977 shows, and the final ones when we got back from the USA in March, represent the peak time of the band we had put together the previous summer.” Steve Hillage (from the CD sleeve notes).

Also on this CD we have also used the encore from the euphoric March 26th 1977 London Rainbow Theatre gig as three bonus tracks.

Miquette Giraudy: Synthesiser, Vocals

I'm enjoying a huge rediscovery of Gong thanks to my children and Steve Hillage/Miquette Giraudy! Although my children have loved trawling through my wide and varied music collection and have each taken their own particular favourites with them, I didn't expect them to react to Gong in the way they have. It started when my youngest son and I went to see the Steve Hillage Band (Gong) last year. I played him Camembert Electrique to show him who Gong were, and it was like I'd electrified him! hobodaddi

Rejoice! A new Gong egg has hatched and the little pumpkin is adorable. Not as spacey as Daevid, nor as fusiony as Pierre, but quite precocious, talented, and ohh so very Gongidocious. Gong fans dock your Teapots at the nearest space station and load this brain fuel into your warp drives immediately! Cas P
