サード・アルバム「Sports」リリースより30周年を記念した「Sports 30th Anniversary Tour」の一端として、久々の単独日本ツアーを行ったヒューイ・ルイス&ザ・ニュースの東京公演2日目となる、10月8日の渋谷公会堂のライヴを1時間35分に渡って超高音質オーディエンス録音で完全収録。この高音質にしてこの楽しさ、そして超最新ライヴにして、圧倒的なノスタルジー。ここまで凄いライヴ、そして録音盤はプレスCDでのリリースが相応しい!ということで、先週の大好評のホール&オーツに続き、ZIONレーベルより入魂のプレス盤でのリリースです。録音者より直に入手したデジタルマスターをダイレクトに使用。録音ポジションは6列目センターとのことで、音の定位、近さも最適で、驚く程の高音質で、大盛り上がりのライヴを再現してくれます。とにかく楽音が近いので、手拍子も適度に遠目に聴こえる最良の音バランスで収録。冒頭2曲位は普通の高音質に聴こえますが、PAの出音のせいか、音質はどんどん向上していく感じで、4曲目のI Want A New Drug等は、聴いていて、呆気にとられるほどのサウンドがスピーカーいっぱいに飛び出してきます。元々演奏力が確かなグループですので、ここまで豊かなサウンド(低音が見事!!)で聴ける、グルーブ感いっぱいのパフォーマンスは圧巻の一言。音が良ければ、演奏もより良く聴こえるのはいつものことではありますが、本当に凄いライヴを生々しさいっぱいのクリアーサウンドでたっぷりと堪能できます。ライヴの方は、前述の通り「スポーツ」30周年ということで、冒頭から4曲連続でアルバムA面を再現。デビュー期の名曲Trouble In Paradise、「Sports」に続いて大ヒットした86年作「Fore!」からのJacob’s Ladderに続いては、前日はDoing It All For My Babyを演奏した位置に日替わりで「Sports」からのヒット曲If This Is It を披露。Back In Time、Hip To Be Squareとノリの良い名曲を続けた後は、一息おいてのMCとメンバー紹介。ここでお馴染みのアカペラタイムでIt’s Alright、Little Bitty Pretty One。メインセットの締めは2011年の現時点での最新作「Plan B」からのWe’re Not Here For A Long Time。アンコールはサポートメンバーの紹介から始まり、「次の曲は、俺の人生で毎晩、演奏しなくちゃいけない曲だ。This one’s for you Tokyo!」のMCからスタートするThe Power Of Loveはまさに圧巻。まさに究極のオーディエンス録音と言う位上手く録音されており、おそらく、この曲を店頭で試聴したら、誰もがたまげるのではないかと思う位。楽曲の良さもあり、凄まじい音楽的盛り上がりを体感できます。1982年のセカンドアルバム「Picture This」期のヒット曲Do You Believe In Loveに続いて、ヒューイがイギリスでのフィル・リノットの思い出をしんみりと語り、シン・リジーのThe Boys Are Back In Townを豪快にプレイ。この演奏力にして、この楽曲。アルバム「Live & Dangerous」でヒューイが吹くハーモニカでこの曲を聴けるのはロック・ファンにとっても感慨深いものがあるでしょう。ラストは再び定番曲、「Picture This」時代のWorkin’ For A Livin’でコンサートラストを豪快に締めます。音質・内容、極上の一枚。コンサートに行ったファンには最良の記念として、また現在のヒューイ・ルイスにそれ程興味なかった人でも、このタイトルを聴けば、まるで考えが変わってしまうのではないでしょうか。それ程凄いライヴ盤を、是非、プレスCDでお楽しみ下さい!
