But was true in 2013 of Paul Japan tour also, also taper that Japan is proud of this, T & J gave me to do! Although they are recordings of Paul and Stones who have recorded was popular even in our release, Nantes Budokan performances they gave me to publish this time. Moreover, it looms in the mania rapture of the volume of ultra-de-grade five CD set that was recorded from the sound check!
Truly popular performances with respect to live production of Budokan, we already have a number of items flooded the market. “CLOSED SOUNDCHECK AT BUDOKAN 2015” that our shop has been recently released in such times from the fact that this day only a limited fan is glimpse the sound check that was not able to attend press CD title, has become a rainy day fast Sold Out. Still voice, “Do what you are not going to that sound check was buying missed gone … somehow” were received, for the voice that really want to listen to the Sold Out still sound check in the blink of an eye also restocked version without number, This time, we will answer in a separate sound source release of surprise.

When you leave first refused, T & J version with sound check also Iyamoni recording, the sound quality is less than the “CLOSED SOUNDCHECK AT BUDOKAN 2015”. A little before, you’ll be is also reminder that the sound quality that was Zara~tsu of this feeling there were many Speaking Iyamoni sound source. But this release is not end there. They have been able to catch the sound check from before the advent of Paul, it became a valuable document overwhelm the “CLOSED SOUNDCHECK ~” in terms of content.
T & J of the sound source will start from first Budokan voice of local news reports that cover a story about the performances. state of performances Japanese news and English interpreters voice was finally realized in stereo divided into left and right had been reported. Sound check starts then switched to Iyamoni seems monaural sound.
Not Paul is still the venue filled with respect to the disk 1, it began with a state of the sound out of each instrument by the band members. But it is a scene of live before the start of rehearsal unique Korezo. The first half is the drum check the center of Abe Laboriel keyboard and drum of Paul Wickens thing Wicks. So Wicks I make me hear the play try the phrase of various songs, but (did not play in but Budokan) performance as it has been every night at this time of the Japan tour orchestration of the new song “Hope The Future” – part is there was in the tone that recalled the Beatles’ music to more than I thought I listen thus.
Then it becomes a backing band all set also joined Brian Ray and Rusty Anderson, where he became a huge upsurge tournament also in production but “Got to Get You Into My Life” will try, and is flowing to then what the “Temporary Secretary” sequencer part of. Instead of music is flowed, apparently sound source was withdrawn only that part from the performance of the same song will continue to flow. That Norarikurari and it was such that the only melody is shed, it is going to possibly future playing live this song? It is about would crossed the expectation that, but it would be the scene actually was Mise playing BGM sound source for flowed just before Paul goes up to the stage.
When the sound check before these Paul appeared reaches the final stage, the disk switches to handsome. So Abe has hit the is something hard rhythm, but of well-hear if this is Led Zeppelin “When The Levee Breaks” or not! Although Abe Now that you have finished it has muttered as “classic rock the best!”, It still is he also ZEP liked. Since most is the other it is not applied members (ended … regrettable was trying to join the Rusty at!) Rhythm only the scene, that this thing did not mention when the original sound source appeared also it seems that course or. However began beating is Abe Following this is this also surprise of Rush “YYZ”! Precious scene of the But to prove that he is also a music fan, and even other members “Do I Rush fans here do not, I’m sorry” from the fact that did not show any reaction to laugh the other members to say It is not had. Later it reflected to the same serious rehearsal scene with Paul appeared “CLOSED SOUNDCHECK AT BUDOKAN 2015”, and before his participation there was this interesting sight ….

Disk of the comedian is also downright interesting. Live day Budokan, how the venue up to Paul and the band appeared moved to the stadium after doors open you have is plenty of records. And once to say that it is not playing a direct relationship of Paul but is up to it, that feeling that it was allowed to fret in the Budokan, which was put before the live of that excitement begins, the last line that has been lined up severely. Would there even when the Stones Budokan, has become a document disks that feeling revives splendidly. Moreover, I have been met with only this part to the comedian, you do not need to endlessly play this part in order to wait for Paul appeared.
And Although it is Budokan production, this is also T & J seems U~omi and gentle sound quality. Large popular SEE NOEVIL also in our shop “OUT THERE OUT THERE LIVE AT JUDO ARENA” totally extraneous clearness and that it has become attractive. You will have to take my hat off to the ability for his catch in the elegant texture of the music and excitement of that day. And from the “My Valentine” around, let’s will assert that attractive different from the other Budokan items also that it is willing to reproduce the sound should be called “Korezo Budokan” around the drum of Abe. The ultimate documentation set for that day was turned into a faster legend in volume of total 5 disc will be released in limited press CD. The Do not miss set of the mania if mast!

2013年のポール来日公演もそうでしたが、今回もまた日本が誇るテーパー、T&Jがやってくれました!彼らが録音してくれたポールやストーンズのレコーディングは当店リリースでも人気を博しましたが、彼らが今回公開してくれたのは何と武道館公演。しかもサウンドチェックから収録した超ド級の五枚組セットというマニア狂喜のボリュームで迫ります!
武道館のライブ本番に関してはさすがに人気公演、既にいくつものアイテムが市場に溢れています。そんな中で先日当店がリリースした「CLOSED SOUNDCHECK AT BUDOKAN 2015」はこの日だけファンが参加できなかったサウンドチェックを垣間見られる限定のプレスCDタイトルということから、まさかの高速Sold Outとなってしまいました。現在も「あのサウンドチェックを買い逃してしまった…何とかならないものか」という声が寄せられ、実際にナンバーなしの再入荷バージョンも瞬く間にSold Outそれでもなおサウンドチェックを聴きたいという声に対し、今回は驚きの別音源リリースでお答えします。

最初に断っておきますと、T&J版サウンドチェックもイヤモニ録音ながら、その音質は「CLOSED SOUNDCHECK AT BUDOKAN 2015」より劣ります。ちょっと前まで、イヤモニ音源といえばこんな感じのザラッとした音質が多かったことも思い出させられることでしょう。しかしそこで終わらないのが今回のリリース。彼らはポールの登場前からサウンドチェックをキャッチすることに成功しており、内容面で「CLOSED SOUNDCHECK~」を圧倒する貴重なドキュメントとなりました。
T&Jの音源はまず武道館公演を報じる地方のニュース・レポートの音声から始まります。日本語のニュースと英語の通訳音声が左右に分かれたステレオで遂に実現した公演の様子が伝えられていました。その後イヤモニらしいモノラル・サウンドに切り替わってサウンドチェックが始まります。
ディスク1に関してはポールがまだ会場入りしておらず、バンド・メンバーによる各楽器の音出しの様子から始まりました。これぞライブ開始前のリハーサルならではの光景ですよね。前半はウィックスことポール・ウィッケンズのキーボードとドラムのエイブ・ラボリエルのドラムス・チェックが中心です。そこでウィックスは様々な曲のフレーズを試し弾きを聴かせてくれるのですが、今回の来日公演で毎晩演奏されていた(ただし武道館では演奏されなかった)新曲「Hope The Future」のオーケストレーション・パートはこうして聴くと思った以上にビートルズの楽曲を思い出される音色でありました。
その後ブライアン・レイとラスティー・アンダーソンも加わってバックバンド全員集合となり、そこで本番でも大盛り上がり大会となった「Got to Get You Into My Life」を試しますが、その後に流れるのは何と「Temporary Secretary」のシーケンサー・パート。楽曲が流されるのではなく、明らかに同曲の演奏からその部分だけを抜き出した音源が流され続けます。あののらりくらりとしたメロディだけが流される様は、もしかして将来この曲をライブ演奏するつもりでは?という期待がよぎってしまうほどですが、実際にはポールがステージに上がる直前に流されるBGM用音源を再生してみせた場面でしょう。
こうしたポール登場前のサウンドチェックが終盤に差し掛かると、ディスクが二枚目に切り替わります。そこでエイブが何やらハードなリズムを叩いていますが、よく聴けばこれはレッド・ツェッペリンの「When The Levee Breaks」ではありませんか!それを終えたところでエイブが「クラシック・ロック最高!」と呟いていますが、やはり彼もZEPが好きだったのですね。もっとも他のメンバーが加わらない(終わったところでラスティが加わろうとしていた…惜しい!)リズムだけの場面ですので、当初音源が現れた際にこの事が触れられていなかったのも当然かと思われます。ところがこれに続いてエイブが叩き始めたのはこれまた驚きのラッシュ「YYZ」!彼も音楽ファンであることを証明する貴重な場面なのですが、さらに他のメンバーが反応を示さなかったことから「ここにラッシュ・ファンはいないよな、ごめんね」と言って他のメンバーを爆笑させていました。以降はポールが登場して「CLOSED SOUNDCHECK AT BUDOKAN 2015」と同じ真剣なリハーサル・シーンへと映りますが、彼の参加前にこんな面白い光景があったとは…。

三枚目のディスクがまた何とも興味深い。ライブ当日の武道館、開場後の場内へと移ってポールとバンド登場までの会場の様子がたっぷり記録されています。ポールの演奏と直接関係ないと言ってしまえばそれまでですが、あの興奮のライブが始まる前、散々並ばされた挙げ句に入れた武道館の中でやきもきさせられたあの感じ。ストーンズ武道館の時にもあったであろう、あの感じが見事に蘇るドキュメント・ディスクとなっています。しかもこのパートのみを三枚目に収めてありますので、ポール登場を待つ為にこのパートを延々と再生する必要はございません。
そして武道館本番ですが、これがまたT&Jらしいウォーミーかつジェントルな音質。当店でも大好評なSEE NOEVIL「OUT THERE OUT THERE LIVE AT JUDO ARENA」とはまったく異質のクリアネスが魅力となっているのです。あの日の演奏や盛り上がりを上品な質感でキャッチしてくれた手腕には脱帽してしまいます。しかも「My Valentine」辺りから、エイブのドラムを中心として「これぞ武道館」というべき鳴りを再現してくれている点も他の武道館アイテムと違う魅力だと断言いたしましょう。合計5ディスクというボリュームで早くも伝説と化したあの日の究極のドキュメント・セットが限定のプレスCDにてリリースされます。マニアならマストのセットを是非お見逃しなく!
