Order of sale There are the opposite , but unearthed DAT audience recording master had not seen the light of day at all so far this time , to ensure the best sound quality of quality a special this time following the second day sound the last . Of course , the same as last week ” OSAKA 2003 SECOND NIGHT ” , taper transcendence recording person familiar with the Stones recording sound source . However the sound quality that this time is completely different and the Osaka second day is something interesting . Some common admirably in terms of freshness distinguished neither think a sound image on admirably , and master slept ten years or more. But It is a recording state calm the point of going to illusion with an ambient air balance quiet extremely Master of first appearance this time , parties and what showed to record from a special position like it . Turned on there , yet comfortable listening of sound image there is a taste of the unique performance has been captured in a mild form is outstanding . It is as much as is reminiscent of the high-quality sound that sit in a row in Japan tour this year , it could be said that it is the sound quality of the ideal exactly the Ru Kikikome thoroughly Among visit to Japan in 2003 , such as environment calm surroundings .
Impression of happening is closed up to the last release when speaking of Osaka in 2003 in the ” Monkey Man ” is strong , it does not get told much the person of the first day . Performance of the day this is what the term rock-solid is true and just perfect , much can say refreshing smooth indeed . ‘s Also voice ” Ronnie was not dull if and only on this day” with the story of the person who was seen on the day , but it Itsumora in play Ronnie had showed high quality in every day of ” LICKS ” it is that reflected in the wind , which is not deer . I do not feel at all like that upset the first time this time , when we listen of this day ” Can’t You Hear Me Knocking ” again . Will it not what it seems this day a long time and since the show such a deployment I think ” Oh , ending ? Another ” and is rather Ronnie , yet performance Sararito ‘s prove I can over.
The tail fin sticks to a selection of music rare that play ” Thru And Thru ” Keith is only on this day in the Japan Tour in 2003 , criticized President Bush of the United States who had ordered the invasion of Iraq at that time , ” Cause now I by sang as ” fuckin ‘Bush ” the line of got those fucking blues “mean? Interpretation that was piled etc. ‘s also occurred ( Keith was singing lyrics in normal course ) as long as the good old to do now .
Respect and great sound source more of this time the B-stage . Localization is also set him on the left side the sound quality is a little different of course , but it would have been overwhelmed by the balance of the performance , the realism of the more thrilling in the proximity of the singing voice of Mick in particular . It will be to resonate with sound quality even more attractive , such as the person who was seen in the ringside and a rush to the B stage that day . And the legs supple performance of the performance of the Stones here is the best part also . Performance of the band speed up the ” Let It Breed ” and ” Midnight Rambler ” has been a tremendous force of about showing off in the B-stage is paid off further anyway . It’s as if you had a time slip 30 years ago though . I just want you to double-check by all means at this new source of the hottest performance of these . Osaka the second day of the previous also has become sold out in no time , but it is a limited release in the best sound source this time , Do not miss it!

大好評完売となった2003年大阪二日目「OSAKA 2003 SECOND NIGHT」に続いて今回は大阪初日の新音源が登場となります。発売の順序が反対ではありますが、今回も今まで一切日の目を見ていなかったDATオーディエンス録音マスターを発掘し、前回の二日目音源に続いて今回も別格なクオリティの極上音質を保証します。テーパーは勿論、先週の「OSAKA 2003 SECOND NIGHT」と同じ、ストーンズ録音音源でお馴染みの超絶録音者。ただし今回がその大阪二日目と全く違う音質なのが興味深いところ。どちらも見事にオンな音像、さらには十年以上眠っていたマスターとは思えない抜群の鮮度という点では見事に共通するものがあります。しかし今回初登場のマスターは周囲が極端に静かなバランスで、それはまるで関係者が特別な位置から録音して見せたのかと錯覚しそうなほど落ち着いた録音状態なのです。そこにオンな、しかもマイルドな形で演奏が捉えられた独特の味わいがある音像の聴き心地は抜群。周囲の落ち着いた環境などは今年の来日公演で居並ぶ高音質音源を彷彿とさせるほどであり、2003年来日の中でもじっくり聴き込める正に理想の音質だと言えるでしょう。
2003年の大阪と言えば前回リリース時にもクローズアップされた「Monkey Man」でのハプニングの印象が強く、初日の方はあまり語られることがありません。確かにこの日の演奏は正に盤石という言葉がピッタリと当てはまる、スムースでさわやかと言ってもいいくらいのものです。当日見られた方の話では「この日に限ってロニーが冴えなかった」との声もあるのですが、それはロニーのプレイが連日で高いクオリティを示していた「LICKS」の中でいつもらしかぬ風に映ったということです。今回、改めてこの日の「Can’t You Hear Me Knocking」を聴いてみるとそんな不調ぶりはまったく感じさせません。むしろロニーが「えっ、もうエンディング？」と思うような展開を見せてからが長く、それでいてサラりと演奏が終わってみせるのがこの日らしいところではないでしょうか。
またキースが2003年日本公演においてこの日に限って「Thru And Thru」を演奏するというレアな選曲には尾ひれが付き、当時イラク侵攻を命じていたアメリカのブッシュ大統領を批判して「Cause now I got those fucking blues」のラインを「fuckin’ Bush」と歌ったのでは？などと盛られた解釈が起きたのも今となっては懐かしい限り（もちろんキースは通常の歌詞で歌っていました）。
そして今回の音源がさらに凄い点はBステージ。もちろん音質が少し変わって定位も左寄りとなってしまうのですが、演奏のバランス、特にミックの歌声の近さにはゾクゾクするほどのリアルさに圧倒されてしまいます。あの日Bステージに突進してかぶりつきで見られた方などにはなおさら魅力的な音質に響くことでしょう。しかもここでのストーンズの演奏の足腰しなやかな演奏がまた圧巻。何しろ「Let It Breed」でバンドの演奏がスピードアップ、さらに「Midnight Rambler」などはBステージでの披露が功を奏して凄まじいほどの迫力となっています。それはまるで30年前にタイムスリップしてしまったかのよう。これらのアツい演奏を今回の新音源にてぜひ再確認していただきたいところです。前回の大阪二日目もあっという間に完売となってしまいましたが、今回も極上音源での限定リリースです、どうぞお見逃しなく！
