Instrumental
International relevance: ***
Japanese archival label Belle Antique released three discs of archival Dice material. The recordings here were made for Swedish Radio on 11 May, 1977, and portions of the show were also included in ”Progglådan”. But this is the complete session.
Recorded between ”The Four Riders Of The Apocalypse” (one of the archival CDs) and their only proper album ”Dice”, ”Live 1977” falls somewhere inbetween stylistically. It's not quite as pompous as ”Four Riders”, more 'complex' or if you prefer 'unnecessary complicated” and thus not as focused as the following album.
I'm not sure it's actually a live
recording because there's no audience – it sounds more like a
studio session with the songs interspersed with interview bits. A
distracting feature as the album would have run much smoother without
the spoken parts. They should have been edited together to a bonus
track instead. Still, a must to Dice fans.
