ベストヒット・ツアー“SOUND+VISION TOUR 1990”の極上ライヴアルバムがお求めやすくなって再発です。当時のボウイはTIN MACHINEでの活動に主軸を置こうと、それまでのキャリアを総決算するために往年のグレイテストヒッツ・ツアーを実施。それが“SOUND+VISION TOUR 1990”でした。本作は、その中でも母国イギリスでの「1990年３月19日バーミンガム公演」を収めたオーディエンス・アルバムです。
本作を記録したのは、英国在住の録音家。常に本場の最新録音をリポートしてくれる巨匠テーパーであり、ポール・マッカートニー、THE ROLLING STONES、デイヴ・ギルモア、U2等々など、数え切れないほどのコレクションを提供してくださっています。本作は、そんな巨匠が25年前に録音したもの。それほど前にも関わらず、すでに現在と変わらぬ見事な腕前を持っていたのがハッキリと分かる素晴らしい逸品です。「Space Oddity」の冒頭でRECレベルを調整したため、音量がやや上下しますが、それは一瞬のこと。ほんの数秒で調整され、すぐにお馴染みのクリアな巨匠サウンドに変貌します。
そのクリアさの素晴らしいこと！　なにしろ25年前だけに録音ポジションまでは残っていませんが、現場となった“NECアリーナ”の巨大なスケール感も感じさせながら、瑞々しい楽音は芯も輪郭もクッキリと切り立ち、真っ直ぐに飛び込んでくる。各楽器の美しさもさることながら、ボウイの歌声が素晴らしく、トロけるように甘美なトーンを聴かせてくれるのです。専門誌でも「正に超の付くほどに高音質なオーディエンス録音」「聴いていて全く不安感を覚えることのないサウンドのナイスな作品」「かなりオススメな一枚」との大絶賛されたほどのクオリティなのです。
そんなサウンドで彩られたパフォーマンスもまた、極上の素晴らしさ。この日は“SOUND+VISION TOUR 1990”でも初期の８公演目にあたり、イギリスツアーの初日でもあった。もちろんツアーの疲れなど微塵もなく、エイドリアン・ブリューも参加した新バンドのアンサンブルもこなれ始めた頃。しかも、これから世界中でグレイテスト・ヒッツで酔わせていこうという明るさ、母国に帰ってきた喜びにも満ちている。実際、本作でも往年のヒット曲を次から次へと繰り出しては大会場を埋め尽くす万を数える大合唱を呼び、その全身に大喝采を浴びていく。あらゆる不安要因がなく、すべてが順風満帆の雰囲気に包まれたショウ。これだけ揃っていて、悪かろうハズがないのです。

新たなバンドとのフレッシュさ、大歓声を楽しむような充実感、母国ならではののびのびした歌声、代表曲だらけの満足度。そして、そんなコンサート現場の空気を見事に捉えきった巨匠の腕。すべてが見事なまでに１つに結実した大傑作ライヴアルバムです。この楽しさ、この魅力を１人でも多くの方に感じ取っていただきたい。そのための白盤再発。どうぞ、この機会にお試しください。
