Peter Hammill 7cd Live Box Set
Peter Hammill – Pno Gtr Vox Box – Eighty Four Live Performances
The double CD Pno, Gtr, Vox, released in September 2011, drew on live
performances from concerts in Japan and the UK in 2010 and showed PH
at the peak of his unique powers, pushing and stretching both himself
and the material in extraordinary ways. As with the Tokyo shows, one
set was of piano songs only, the other of guitar only.
Pno, Gtr, Vox, Box is a limited edition 7 cd deluxe box set with a 24
page booklet (containing sleeve notes from PH), which greatly expands
on the original double cd (both discs of which are included).
Five additional discs make up the set.
Of the five additional discs, one is a set of VdGG/VdG songs and one a
set imagining ‘What if I knew this was the last show I’d ever do?’,
the others comprise ‘Songs I didn’t play in Japan’, ‘Songs I dropped
from the setlists’ and ‘The best alternate versions’.
Each CD comes in a glossy wallet featuring photographs from Peter’s
personal collection of dressing room and way-to-the-stage shots.
Pno Gtr Vox Box serves not only as a testament to Peter’s current
performances but also, by the nature of the fact that songs are taken
from all stages of his career, as a significant retrospective
collection.
Limited to 2000 copies globally.
