String Driven Thing - Live on the Foxtrot Tour (40th Anniversary) [CD]

The classic early 70s String Driven Thing line up of Chris Adams guitar and vocals, Pauline Adams vocals and percussion, Colin Wilson bass, and Grahame Smith violin (Hamill/Van der Graaf) recorded on the Foxtrot Tour with Genesis. Frontman Chris Adams has suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and is rushed to hospital, where doctors recommend that he take four weeks rest to let his lung reflate. But unwilling to drop out of the impending tour, Chris elects for the alternative treatment which, in his words involved "watching a brace and bit being used to drill a hole through my chest". 14 days later, and against doctors advice, the band took to the Rainbow stage. In the following gigs, including Manchester Free Trade Hall where this recently unearthed recording was made, the band performed sets with such stunning energy that multiple encores became the norm. I think you'll agree with me that Ozit has rediscovered a lost masterpiece.
