Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, California, USA 12th March 1975

Includes all three different audience recordings of the second day performance of Long Beach Arena on March 12, 1975. Discs 1 to 3 contain the full-length master quality version that has been familiar from the past. The difference in sound quality from the existing board is clear, and there are cuts due to the master as well as the existing board (The Song Remains The Same 3:26, No Quarter 18:05 and ending, Dazed And Confused 5:18 etc. ), It is recorded with a clear sound that is easy to hear. Originally, the sound image is slightly distorted, and there are problems with the above-mentioned cuts and analog noise, so the content is not perfect, but considering the times, it is an excellent recording even from the length of the recording time. There is no doubt. Disc 4 is a recording take by Mike Millard and records the latter half of the show with the best sound quality (34 minutes 8 seconds). It is a mirrored sound source that completely recorded the first day with the best sound quality, but it seems that there is only this recording on this day. Discs 5 & 6 record the new source that appeared in recent years for 2 hours 34 minutes 20 seconds. Although not as good as the mirrored recording, it contains a Heartbreaker with very good sound quality, from the opening to the end of Dazed And Confused at 28:19, and a 6-minute cheer before the encore. Throughout the whole story, it is recorded with the sound of the master as it is, which has nothing to do with the feeling of computerized equalization, and further, noise scattered in various places and Moby Dick from 17:13 to Dazed And Confused 1:50, and more. Is the best version of Dazed And Confused from 5:21 with no periodic noise. It’s a very clear and beautiful recording. All three sound sources have their pitches corrected accurately. The second day performance of 1975 Long Beach, which is highly evaluated for its enthusiasm that exceeds the first day, is now available in a set of 6 press CDs.

1975年3月12日のロングビーチアリーナ2日目公演を収録した3種の異なるオーディエンス録音を全て収録。ディスク1~3は過去よりお馴染みの全長版のマスター・クオリティ・ヴァージョンを収録。既発盤との音質の差は明らかで、既発同様にマスターに起因するカットはありますが(The Song Remains The Same 3:26、No Quarterの18:05とエンディング、Dazed And Confused 5:18等)、聴きやすいクリアーなサウンドで収録されています。もともと若干、歪気味の音像で、なおかつ前述のカットやアナログノイズの問題もあり、完璧な内容ではありませんが、時代を考えると、その収録時間の長さからしても、優秀な録音であることは間違いありません。ディスク4はマイク・ミラード氏による録音テイクでショウ後半を極上音質で収録(34分8秒)。初日を極上音質で完全収録したミラード音源ですが、この日はこれだけしか録音が存在していないようです。ディスク5&6は近年登場したニューソースを2時間34分20秒に渡って収録。ミラード録音ほどではないにせよ、大変優れた音質でオープニングからDazed And Confusedの終盤28:19までと、アンコール前の6分の歓声を含むHeartbreakerを収録しています。全編を通して、コンピュータライズされたようなイコライズ感とは無縁のマスターそのままのサウンドで収録しており、更には各所に点在するノイズやMoby Dickの17:13からDazed And Confused 1:50まで、更にはDazed And Confusedの5:21からの周期的なノイズもない最良のヴァージョンです。非常にクリアーで美しい録音です。3音源ともピッチは全て正確に補正。初日を上回る熱演で評価の高い75年ロングビーチ2日目公演がプレスCD6枚組で登場です。
