Our Take

Ah, GONG - the band that took prog rock to a whole new level of trippy whimsy. Live! At Sheffield 1974 captures them at the peak of their cosmic powers, swirling through a kaleidoscope of sounds and textures with all the grace of a psychedelic unicorn.

The red and green vinyl of this RSD 2020 release adds an extra dash of flair to an already mind-bending experience. From the moment you drop the needle on the grooves, you're transported to a whimsical wonderland where guitars twinkle like stars, synths pulse like alien heartbeats, and the rhythm section grooves like a funky yeti on the dance floor.

Tracks like "You Can't Kill Me" and "Ooby-Scooby Doomsday or The D-Day DJ's Got the D.D.T. Blues" showcase GONG's ability to meld jazz, rock, and avant-garde influences into a seamless sonic tapestry that is as confounding as it is captivating.

Frontman Daevid Allen's whimsical vocals float above the chaos like a wise old wizard guiding you through the madness. And the band's intricate musicianship is a testament to their ability to improvise and innovate in real-time.

Overall, Live! At Sheffield 1974 is a must-have for any fan of progressive rock or anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. So grab your favourite pair of headphones, dim the lights, and prepare to be transported to a parallel universe where the only rule is to let your mind wander and your spirit soar. Gong on, you crazy diamonds. Gong on.
