Provider of a new sound source told me appeared also, the release was me see you recorded with unprecedented quality Tokyo Dome second day of performance in Japan in 1993 of “TOKYO 1993 SECOND NIGHT”. “THE NEW WORLD TOUR IN TOKYO DOME” because I just became a Sold Out Just also is a sound source provides good timing as well as the previous “SECOND NIGHT”. But the tour was not the first day of release from our store until now, that becomes a release this time’s the Tokyo Dome concert November 12. Out of three times, so far was biased in twice late release of the Tokyo Dome performance in ’93 from our store, release of the sound source of the first day will be realized for the first time. It will be a release not be missed if fans just say excavation of the sound source from the Japan Tour ’93 so far not been around at all even between traders.
But I affirm to be a record audience proud of the quality of the best sound source Japan Tour ’93 audience recording of that this time, our store have been released so far of any in! “SECOND NIGHT” is also a recording of really nice quality, and it is with the very popular shortly after the release, but, as it is to be a quality superior to it, should you do not betray absolutely the expectations of the fan by itself. Even so, is the sound of this time, no doubt to be impressed sound images on is the best part that the “SECOND NIGHT” or more, audience recording of quality of so much … and what appeared from the Tokyo Dome performance in ’93 finally. Where the force of the sound image in the special really, for example of Angkor “I Saw Her Standing There” was started, I think in wind up being stunned to clearness phrases of guitar would hear clearly. Freshness of recording itself is distinguished also in addition to it. I do not think that’s record of twenty years ago so.
And in comparison with two second half performance was released from our past, how you are playing towards the band and Paul is braced at that stage of the first day of the tour also handed down. It is a thing interesting point performance high-level performance of high-quality natural that the band during this period are known, but that listen to rock-solid performance more clearly different from the other two days. For example, Paul sing the “Iko Iko” and ending in “SECOND NIGHT” and “Off The Ground”, there was a scene improvisation of “‘O Sole Mio” like jump out in front of the “Hey Jude” further. This day has been recorded in the quality of exceptional without a place not seen at all is a scene like that or say like Paul rather, comes through To fully realize the tension in a good way, how the great stage leaves it over. A thing called natural release of limited press CD if superb sound source of this much. It is sure to be a definitive edition of the Tokyo Dome performance items Paul 1993. Please listen by all means!

1993年の来日公演の東京ドーム二日目を破格のクオリティで収録してみせた「TOKYO 1993 SECOND NIGHT」のリリースによって、また新たな音源の提供者が現れてくれました。ちょうど「THE NEW WORLD TOUR IN TOKYO DOME」もSold Outとなったばかりですので、前回の「SECOND NIGHT」と同様にタイミングの良い音源提供ともなりました。ところが今回リリースとなるのは今まで当店からのリリースのなかったツアー初日、つまり11月12日の東京ドーム公演なのです。これまで当店からの93年東京ドーム公演のリリースは三回の内、後半二回に偏っていましたが、初めて初日の音源のリリースが実現します。これまでトレーダー間にも一切出回っていない93年来日公演からの音源を発掘というだけでもファンであれば絶対に見逃せないリリースとなることでしょう。
ところが今回のオーディエンス録音、当店がこれまでリリースしてきた93年来日公演音源もの中でも最高の音質を誇るオーディエンス録音であると断言いたします!「SECOND NIGHT」も実に素晴らしいクオリティの録音であり、リリース直後から大好評となっておりますが、それを凌ぐクオリティだと言えば、それだけでファンの期待を絶対に裏切らないはず。それにしても今回の音源ですが、あの「SECOND NIGHT」以上にオンな音像が圧巻で、遂に93年東京ドーム公演からもこれほどまでのクオリティのオーディエンス録音が登場したのか…と感動されること間違いなし。その音像の迫力は本当に別格で、例えばアンコールの「I Saw Her Standing There」が始まったところでは、ギターのフレーズがはっきりと聞き取れてしまうクリアネスに唖然とさせられてしまうのではないでしょうか。それに加えて録音自体の鮮度がまた抜群。とても二十年前の録音だとは思えません。
それにこれまで当店からリリースされた後半二公演と比べ、ツアー初日のステージということでポールやバンドが気を引き締めて演奏に向かっている様子も伝わってきます。この時期のバンドは高品位の演奏が当たり前というハイレベルなパフォーマンスが知られていますが、さらに盤石の演奏が聴けるという点が他の二日間とはっきり違うから面白いものです。例えば「SECOND NIGHT」では「Off The Ground」のエンディングでポールが「Iko Iko」を歌い出し、さらに「Hey Jude」の前では「’O Sole Mio」のアドリブが飛び出すような場面がありました。この日はそのような場面がまったく見られないところがむしろポールらしいというか、良い意味での緊張感がひしひしと伝わってくる、素晴らしいステージの様子があますことなく破格のクオリティで記録されています。これほどの極上音源であれば限定プレスCDでのリリースは当たり前というもの。ポール1993年東京ドーム公演アイテムの決定版となること間違いなし。是非聴いてみてください!
