Phoenix 1979


I've included this show on here purely as it is widely regarded (Wrongly) as a Radio broadcast, but it's only an audience one. It's good quality for audience but not in the same league as a Radio broadcast at all.
Whilst 'Mirrors' isn't one of the bands strongest studio albums, the tour of 1979 was excellent and the band were at selling out every show they played and at some really big venues too.
This album has a great setlist but the sound is sadly weak and really only for completists. I couldn't locate a cover at all for this so once again I made my own.

CD 1- 54:09
01. Introduction (3:24)
02. Dominance & Submission (5:28)
03. Dr. Music (3:43)
04. Mirrors (4:21)
05. Cities on Flame (5:31)
06. The Great Sun Jester (5:26)
07. The Vigil (5:32)
08. The Vigil (Reprise) (1:26)
09. Extraterrestrial Intelligernce (4:51)
10. Astronomy (8:35)
11. ME 262 (3:42)
12. Godzilla (Intro) (2:03)
CD 2 - 40:42
01. Godzilla - Drum Solo - Godzilla (9:18)
02. Hot Rails to Hell (5:31)
03. Bass Solo (1:39)
04. Five Guitars (4:52)
05. Born to Be Wild (4:58)
06. Encore Break (3:14)
07. O.d.’d on Life Itself (4:03)
08. (Don’t Fear) The Reaper (7:02)

I've added this great double play video here. It's recorded from Berkeley California in 1979. This is not the live show of the same day but was recorded before the show just for the cameras. The 2 tracks are Dr.Music and in Thee both of which are also on Phoenix 79.
