However, the pace slowed down afterward. The early autumn tours planned for European countries were cancelled, and even the replacement shows in Finland had to be postponed due to bassist Måns “Måsse” Groundstroem's sick leave. In October 1976 an opening appeared in the schedule for a studio session, during which Jim Pembroke’s third solo album, Corporal Cauliflower’s Mental Function, was recorded. After that, Wigwam played five gigs in Denmark at the end of November, followed by an equal number in Sweden. No exact information has survived about the concert setlists, but the band was in a stable phase, and certain songs had become staples in their live repertoire. Albums from Wigwam's deep-pop era, which began in autumn 1974, as well as Pembroke’s first solo records had already been released, and rehearsals were underway for what would become the Dark Album, released in 1977. It can be said that this concert, recorded for Danish Radio, is a strong representation of the band’s era at the time. The recording took place in northern Denmark, in a district called Lundtofte in Lyngby. Before this, Wigwam had performed in Køge and Århus, and after Lundtofte, gigs in Ballerup and Copenhagen awaited. Lundtofte was home to the Danish Technical University (DTU), where a student venue called “Studenterhuset” (Building 101) hosted a one- to two-day music events known as Polyjoint during the 1970’s. The events typically featured Danish bands, but also visiting acts like Wigwam. Most importantly, Danish Radio was sometimes present at these events. Wigwam had performed a studio concert for Danish Radio the previous year, but this particular recording is considered the more energetic of the two. Details have faded with time — for example, the identity of the second act at the concert is unknown. In any case, both guitarist Pekka “Rekku” Rechardt and keyboardist Pedro Hietanen remember the band being in high spirits, in top form, and highly motivated. They had a deal with Virgin Records in their pocket, had gained international touring experience, and the future looked bright. After returning from Denmark, Wigwam soon entered the studio just after Christmas to begin building the Dark Album. The first version came together quickly, but the release process turned out to be quite complex — but that’s another story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A :\u003cbr\u003eJust My Situation \/ Simple Human Kindness \/ Do or Die \/ Never Turn You In \/ Eddie and the Boys \/ A Better Hold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B :\u003cbr\u003eColossus \/ Grass for Blades \/ Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose \/ No New Games \/ Bless Your Lucky Stars\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53386637934935,"sku":"P-171664-","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Wigwam-Live-in-Denmark-1976-LP-171664-1-1761647530.jpg?v=1778309821"},{"product_id":"wigwam-live-in-denmark-1976-cd","title":"Wigwam - Live in Denmark 1976 - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eWigwam's previously unreleased rare live recording from 1976 out in February via Svart Records.\u003cbr\u003eIn the summer of 1976, Wigwam performed not only in Finland but also in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany.

Considered by many as their most ambitious work, Being was originally released in 1974. This reissue contains the album's partially remixed and remastered version from 2001, which the group’s mastermind behind the album concept Jukka Gustavson considers superior compared to the original mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing is a progressive rock masterpiece. Dark and satirical lyrics of social and political critique blended with complex jazz-rock, driven by the superb keyboard work by Gustavson who's joined by the band in its prime; Pekka Pohjola, Jim Pembroke, and Ronnie Österberg. Being is cited as one of the best albums from the 1970s Scandinavian Prog scene. Wigwam, a captivating progressive rock album available on CD. Released by Svart Records, this opus immerses you in a rich and complex musical universe, perfect for fans of innovative sounds and sonic experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eThis item is available for pre-order.
