Gong - Live In Sheffield 1974

Well I reckon it's time for some more music all the way from the Planet Gong. This show was recorded at Sheffield City Hall in 1974. I think it was actually on the 26th of April on the Angel's Egg tour but I don't know for definite.






Anyway this is an excellent live show and has what I consider to be the classic Gong lineup, as follows:
- Guitar, Vocals / Daevid Allen (aka Dingo Virgin)
- Guitar / Steve Hillage (aka Hillside or The Submarine Captain Hillfish)
- Bass / Mike Howlett (aka Mr T. Being)
- Drums, Percussion / Pierre Moerlen (aka Pierre de Strasbourg)
- Saxophones, Flute / Didier Malherbe (aka Bloomdido Bad de Grass)
- Synthesizers / Tim Blake (aka H.T. Monnweed)
- Space Whisper / Gilli Smyth (aka Cakti Yoni)

Gong are a french/english space rock band started by Daevid Allen, an Australian musician, poet & performer. They were formed in 1967 & have been together in some lineup or other right upto today.
