Recording [edit]

The album was recorded in February 1974 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California during the group's 1973–74 earth tour in back up of their fourth studio anthology, Brain Salad Surgery (1973). Its title comes from the introduction to the evidence spoken by the prove's Master of Ceremonies (United kingdom disc jockey Pete Murray) and the opening line of "Karn Evil 9: First Impression, Part 2".

To record the album, staff and equipment were brought in from Wally Heider Studios in Los Angeles, including a 24-runway mobile recording unit of measurement and a 40-input panel. Peter Granet, one of the engineers, chosen information technology "the finest recording experience I've always had".[ii] The ring too used a 4 channel quadraphonic PA arrangement on the tour. A quad mix of the album was released as a three 8-track record set; a quad LP record edition was planned for release in the Quadradisc format, but was scrapped due to engineering science issues in master recording which prevented JVC, the manufacturer, from cutting a stable master to see the format'due south specifications.

Most of the recordings on the album were offset used for broadcast on the American stone music radio testify, The Rex Biscuit Flower Hour. In 1999, these radio recordings were released on CD.

AllMusic [3]
Sea of Tranquility [4]

AllMusic gave the album a mixed retrospective review, saying that it "makes i realise how accomplished these musicians were, and how well they worked together when the going was proficient." They praised the set for including all but 1 song from Brain Salad Surgery, and specially commended the operation of "Karn Evil 9" as beingness far superior to the studio rendition. Yet, they noted that unlike most live albums of the era, Welcome Back did not incorporate studio overdubs, limiting the ring's ability to recreate moments from their albums and resulting in poor sound quality: "Fifty-fifty the nearly recent remastered editions could not fix the feedback, the occasionally leakages, the echo, the seeming distance – the listener oftentimes gets the impression of being seated in the upper mezzanine of an arena."[3]
