1993 from “THE NEW WORLD TOUR”, complete recording over 2 hours and 15 minutes in the ultra-high-quality audience recording of the best level of 5 performances first North American tour, the April 29 St. Louis performances. Oslo performances sound of September 27, which was well received the gift before the release was a great sound quality, but here is characterized by clear sound to the extent that it exceeds it. Slightly, it is a sound sound in the high range of lighter, such as concentrated, but it is good in sound source is located in the top-level in the audience recording in 1993 of just cassette recording of slightly muffled. Taper is like a person who is accustomed equivalent to recording, from beginning to end, the sound image is very stable. It might be an overstatement if you say so, of the line recording, but I feel a neat sound as broadcast sound source, in fact, the concert progresses, the sound quality will continue to improve rapidly. Cheers between songs is also loud, but it is not so much say it is too large for the musical tone, without stress, you can concentrate on the music. (There is also a scene or are being fed up to the audience to continue talking even a song to say that but) recording of Fixing A Hole and Another Day that has not been played at happy in the Japan tour. Plenty, I thoroughly enjoy acoustic set of midfield which can be a feature of the present tour, the Beatles number that has been a large amount introduced further stage charming full far from listening. MC to introduce Chuck Berry who is in the audience Paul will also hear it is followed by Members of the late show (. To stop the impending play the intro Once In My Love). Adjust the highs audible as a whole, it is possible to suppress the pulsating character of the sound, it was crowded building in the direction in which it is easy to hear from the mild but, why. A little more, it is a sound source without the press on CD mistake when there is a thickness to the sound, but definitely a fan, it is recommended that title as an excellent sample of North American tour sound source, and I would like in addition to the collection by all means.

 

1993年「THE NEW WORLD TOUR」より、北米ツアー5公演目の、4月29日セント・ルイス公演を極上レベルの超高音質オーディエンス録音で2時間15分に渡って完全収録。先にギフト・リリースされ好評を博した9月27日のオスロ公演音源も素晴らしい音質でしたが、こちらはそれを上回る程のクリアーなサウンドが特徴。若干、軽めの高域の音が集中したようなサウンドですが、籠り気味のカセット録音ばかりの1993年オーディエンス録音の中では最上位に位置する良好音源です。テーパーは録音には相当慣れている方のようで、音像は終始、非常に安定しています。ライン録音のよう、と言ったら言い過ぎかもしれませんが、放送音源のように端正なサウンドで、実際、コンサートが進行するにつれ、音質はどんどん向上していく感じです。曲間の歓声もラウドですが、楽音に対して大きすぎると言うほどではないので、ストレスなく、音楽に集中できます。(と言っても曲中でもおしゃべりを続ける観客には辟易されられたりする場面もありますが)日本公演では演奏されなかったAnother DayやFixing A Holeの収録は嬉しいところ。本ツアーの特徴とも言える中盤のアコースティック・セット、更には大量導入されたビートルズ・ナンバーと、聴きどころ満載の魅力的なステージをたっぷり、じっくり楽しめます。(My Love では一旦イントロを演奏しかけてストップします。)ショウ終盤のメンバー紹介に続いてはポールが客席にいるチャック・ベリーを紹介するMCも聴かれます。全体的に耳につく高域を調整し、音のシュワシュワ感を抑え、マイルドで聴きやすい方向に造りこみましたが、いかがでしょうか。もう少し、音に太さがあったらプレスCD化間違いなしの音源ですが、ファンは間違いなく、北米ツアー音源の優良サンプルとして、是非ともコレクションに加えて頂きたいお薦めタイトルです。
