But immediately appeared Seoul performances after Japan tour was last week released as a gift item, what was not to listen for? Participated in the Japanese taper Korea performances, in bad weather, dared suicide of recording, it was me capture the excitement of live in the high-quality sound up to stunning. Content, sound quality, was believed not to be superior to this, it is so stunning recording, we have already gotten praised the words of the “was good!” From many of mania.

But, while there is a long-awaited of the original sound source, why it did not release as a press CD? The answer is actually I book board. As mentioned above, gift original sound source of was a great recording. However, another source that has spread on the net in almost simultaneous timing, this is really the highest of quality! Try listening to this CD anyway. high-quality sound that everyone is surprised. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has surpassed the gift board in all respects, it’s a really terrific recording. What a climax in recent years rarely seen venue to say And is too terrible! Geki Atsu sound … sound quality and content was outstanding and to do this is not to press on CD? Staff, of the extent to stunned listening, and I was such a special sound source.

However, after all Japan tour of popularity, I wonder what in particular Budokan popular with a focus on performance really fiercely, may be released live after Japan performances in such …. Is not such a thought was, but if you look to think this performance was performed subsequently from the Japan tour, it’s the last day in 2015 OUT THERE TOUR first stroke. And last year, we, as well as performances in Asia that has tasted the feeling that stop at the last minute. To proceed and it was recorded in high-quality sound of surprise, you’ll still things that are appropriate to release a press CD.
Anyway surprise of quality. Asian and neighboring countries and is stunning audience recording even here in Korea has been created. It does not take a completely closed, even compared with this time of the Japan tour that high-level sound source conflict has been waged. On-sound image is a strong force, and I only there is also a 100 percent satisfaction can be excellent sound source in, but anyway excitement is amazing. In that, “Lovely Rita” a even outlandish also say large chorus, it is enough to cause spouting while also singing Paul by the unexpected climax before!

By the first time to realize the Paul McCartney live, enthusiasm anyway sublime here Seoul audience. Although the previous scene was of course, anyway large chorus in most of the song. Of course it climaxes of the surrounding are also picking up in real, but instead of that there are the audience that stands out one person, it has become a pleasant reality have heard that are generally raised the ambient, this only of enthusiasm is caught While advance, it does not get banned surprise in record mode no sarcasm at all.
And splendor of its climax more sound pressure and clearness will also stand out. Although it is Paul who prefer the original audience rise in live, it is in front of so much excitement in all of songs old and new, will that he could not help but become a favorite for the first time visited the South Korea. However, speaking Korean Rashiku truly difficult, yet did not become verbose tone about the time of Japan coupled with the performance of the one-day (laughs). That the minute English is talkative is at best fun of Paul of this day, “Maybe I’m Amazed” In always the difference between “next’m wrote for Linda, even you guys I also” is MC that I be heard Not only Gokigen the first time that Miseru singing a passage once again, “My Valentine” after you finish showed a strange upsurge ahead “Lovely Rita”.

This said scene alone excited, I just overwhelmed by large enthusiastic live, but the scene of the presumption has occurred in the encore. Too enthusiastic Korean audience, and Paul appeared again also what “Hey Jude” and begins choir once. Already Paul I had a base in order at this time start the “Day Tripper,” but, I band and he has been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic excitement again began to align the performance and surprisingly chorus! As a result Paul sings while playing the base of “Hey Jude”, “World call bypass” Reprise is I have unfolded. But when it began to match the performance in chorus is a place such as struggling looking for a truly Paul also sound (the state also take pat listen), will impress and surprise reprise is waged integrated immediately piano … No way that there is such a great live in Seoul, South Korea had been waged is. Anyway, great performance and excitement, and it is the best quality!

さっそく現れた日本公演後のソウル公演は先週ギフト・アイテムとしてリリースされましたが、お聴きになられましたでしょうか？日本人テーパーが韓国公演に参加、悪天候の中、決死の録音を敢行、感動のライヴを見事なまでの高音質で捉えてくれました。内容、音質、これに勝るものは無いと思われた、それほどに見事な録音であり、既に沢山のマニアから「良かった！」とのお誉めの言葉を頂いています。

ですが、せっかくのオリジナル音源がありながら、なぜプレスCDとしてリリースしなかったのか？その答えが実は本盤なのです。前述の通り、ギフトのオリジナル音源は素晴らしい録音でした。しかし、ほぼ同時タイミングでネット上に広まったもう一つの音源、これが本当に最高の音質なのです！とにかくこのCDを聴いてみて下さい。誰もが驚く高音質。全ての点でギフト盤を凌駕しているといっても過言ではない、本当に凄まじい録音なのです。それに何といっても近年稀に見る会場の盛り上がりが凄すぎる！音質と内容がずば抜けた激アツ音源・・・これをプレスCD化しなくてどうする？スタッフ一同、聴いて唖然とする程の、そんな別格の音源だったのです。

しかしながら、何しろ日本公演の人気、特に武道館公演を中心とした人気は本当に凄まじく、そんな中で日本公演後のライブをリリースして良いものだろうか…。そんな考えもあったわけですが、考えて見ればこの公演は日本公演から続いて行われた、2015年OUT THERE TOUR最初の行程における最終日なのです。しかも昨年、我々と同様に土壇場で中止という思いを味わったアジアでの公演。それが驚きの高音質で録音されたとなれば、やはりプレスCDでリリースするのがふさわしいというものでしょう。
それにしても驚きのクオリティ。アジアの隣国である韓国でもここまで見事なオーディエンス録音が生み出されたとは。ハイレベルな音源争いが繰り広げられている今回の日本公演と比べてもまったく引けを取りません。オンな音像はド迫力で、そこだけでも100％満足出来る優良音源なのですが、何しろ盛り上がりが凄い。あの「Lovely Rita」ですら異様とも言える大合唱で、その予期せぬ盛り上がりを前にしてポールも歌いながら噴き出してしまうほどです！

初めて実現したポール・マッカートニーのライブということで、ここソウルの観客の熱狂ぶりはとにかく壮絶。先の場面はもちろんでしたが、とにかくほとんどの曲で大合唱。当然ながら周囲の盛り上がりもリアルに拾っているのですが、一人目立つ観客がいるというのではなく、周囲が総じて盛り上がっていることが聴いていて心地よい臨場感となっており、これだけの熱狂がキャッチされておきながら、まったく嫌みのない録音状態に驚きを禁じ得ません。
しかもその盛り上がり以上の音圧とクリアネスの素晴らしさがまた際立ちます。元々ライブで盛り上がる観客を好むポールですが、新旧すべての曲でこれほどの盛り上がりを前にしては、彼が初めて訪れた韓国を好きにならずにはいられなかったことでしょう。しかし韓国語を話すのはさすがに難しいらしく、しかも一日限りの公演と相まって日本の時ほど饒舌な調子とはなりませんでした（笑）。その分英語が饒舌なのがこの日のポールの最高の楽しいところで、「Maybe I’m Amazed」ではいつもと違い「次はリンダの為に書いたんだ、さらに君たちにもね」というMCが聴かれるだけでなく、先に異様な盛り上がりをみせた「Lovely Rita」を終えた後でもう一度「My Valentine」の一節を歌ってみせるというゴキゲンぶり。

こういった場面だけでも大興奮、大熱狂のライブに圧倒されるばかりですが、極めつけの場面がアンコールに起きました。あまりに熱狂的な韓国のオーディエンス、ポールが再び登場すると何と「Hey Jude」をも一度合唱し始めます。既にポールはこの時「Day Tripper」を始めるべくベースを持っていたのですが、再び熱狂的な盛り上がりに圧倒された彼とバンドが驚いたことに合唱と演奏を合わせ始めたのです！その結果ポールがベースを弾きながら歌う「Hey Jude」という、「セカイハツコウカイ」リプライズが繰り広げられてしまいました。合唱に演奏を合わせ始めた時はさすがのポールも音を探して四苦八苦といったところですが（その様子もばっちり聴き取れます）、すぐに演奏が一体化して感動とサプライズなリプライズが繰り広げられます…まさか韓国のソウルでもこんなすごいライブが繰り広げられていたとは。とにかく凄い演奏と盛り上がり、そして最高の音質です！
