Title: Gong Est Mort
Category: Rock
Style: Psychedelic Rock, Prog Rock
Year: 1977
Notes: Live album recorded during the first « Gong reunion » in May 28, 1977 in Hippodrome de Pantin (Paris), organised by Jacques Pasquier. The classic Gong line-up with founder Daevid Allen didn’t exist anymore at this date, but reconvened for this event, which also featured all bands formed by ex or current Gong members : Daevid Allen with Euterpe , Didier Malherbe’s Bloom, the « official » Gong led by Pierre Moerlen, Mike Howlett’s Strontium 90, Tim Blake’s Crystal Machine, Steve Hillage’s band etc…
When the newly created label Tapioca announced they will release the Gong recording of this concert, Virgin interjected by legally trying to prevent the release of this album, saying the band and name Gong was signed to Virgin, as well as other artists like Steve Hillage. In an attempt to sabotage the release of the Hippodrome concert, Virgin also quickly compiled live tapes of Gong and issued the Live Etc. album in August 1977, including many pictures of the Hippodrome concert on the insert sleeves ! As a reaction, Daevid Allen and Gong freaks invaded the Virgin offices in London, claiming that Gong belonged to no-one. Eventually, Tapioca was able to release their Gong Est Mort album in September (or November ?) 1977. Though as a side-effect of the dispute with Virgin, Steve Hillage could not be credited on this recording and his face was blanked on the inner gatefold picture. Rating: 4.1
