This is a sophisticated musical project of great 70' s musicians , released in 1976 , by Virgin Records , in the middle of the Punk Era .
801 provided Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera with one of his most intriguing side projects. Although the band only played three gigs in August and September 1976, this album captures a night when everything fell right into place musically. That should only be expected with names like Eno and Simon Phillips in the lineup. (Still, the lesser-known players -- bassist Bill MacCormick, keyboardist Francis Monkman, and slide guitarist Lloyd Watson -- are in exemplary form, too.) The repertoire is boldly diverse, opening with "Lagrima," a crunchy solo guitar piece from Manzanera.

801 - LIVE @ HULL 1977
801 Live @ Hull released throughThe Phil Manzanera Archives in 2000, is a must have for 801 and Phil Manzanera fans and collectors, but please don't expect the amazing sound quality of the first "801 Live" release. This is an "Archive" release and what it's lacking in sound quality compared to the 1st "801 Live" , it makes up for with a great selection of songs and considering how many live 801 recordings there are, this should be a welcome edition to any fans collection
By Aaron Badgley
Fans of the original 801 Live album will know and love the songs found here. This was recorded during
the famous 1977 tour and features a number of songs found on that classic recording. Of course, Eno is not here and the same excitement and tight playing are not found. However, this is still a very good album. Manzanera released this in 2000 as part of his Archive Series and intended it for fans or collectors. However, this album is a great example of late-'70s prog/art rock. Yes, the long-drawn-out guitar solos are here, but these are interesting, melodic solos; they fit the songs and actually add a great deal. The music is a great cross section of Manzanera's pre-1977 history. Roxy Music is represented here, with a blistering version of "Out of the Blue" featuring Eddie Jobson that is brilliant, with a great
violin solo and wonderful arrangements. Also here is some of Manzanera's best solo material, including the brilliant "Diamond Head." Also worth note is the 801 take on "Tomorrow Never Knows" known here as "TNK", sounding eerie and frightening with atmospheric vocals. The sound quality is not the best, but it is lacking the typical overdubs so often found on live recordings, and for that reason it is worth extra points. This really is a treasure for Manzanera fans, but others might find something of interest here as well.
