It is a tour of Stones a change had occurred in the tour dates by misfortune concert in Japan immediately after the end, had befallen to Mick, but resuming from Oslo May 26 at last, great live in various places great reputation already I call the. This work in Zurich, Switzerland performances June 1, which corresponds to the third day tour. Released by pressing CD limited based on the audience recording of this day appeared in the fastest. Sound source was recorded this time with excellent sound quality in very, level of excitement surrounding is low, and is a stunning recording state to listen without stress. Sound image has become a meek little balance as compared to the Japan tour that sound source high level is finalized, but will that sound quality with this calm feel the unique charm. I seems that if it were recording ideal state rather to such a person, such as swelling around frequently asked audience recording is a concern.
Now it is played on this day, but it has become a large enthusiastic performance just does not appeal that Mick was’m sure I can bounce back from misfortune. As soon as the first song, “Start Me Up” and the end, Mick string of Thank You. Thing suggests revival with his appearance from that you are going heap up the MC high tension in every each song afterwards. The more spirit comes through loud and clear as well as falsetto vocals in “Worried About You”. Condition of Keith also wonderfully in addition to it, tightness of higher-grade has been issued on the stage from the Japan Tour. Since reflected also playing a lighter compared to the Japan Tour with Minagi~tsu of spirit simply because was wounded when I say the opposite, this area will place to be noted is how to slide into the advancement of the tour.
“Let’s Spend The Night Together” was played in the request corner. It will be playing for the first time live in 2012 and later, a sense of groove that tangled does not deny the whole band indeed. But Charlie is inspired by the play, only one person you’re recklessly? Play likely to illusion and takes care of raising the voltage of the performance. It is showing off was not played in Japan performance further “Out Of Control” in a row, but has shown a can of quite by singing like Mick of the day it gets spirited.
And this day birthday of Ronnie as was mentioned in the introduction member. When you celebrate his birthday where Keith also finished the “You Got The Silver”, the person himself was a peaceful scene unfolds in the best “Keith Thank you, everyone! thank you” he said. Keith repertoire, which lasted from there revival of surprise “Can’t Be Seen” what! The song, which has not been played for a long time since the 1990 tour is the rainy day appearance. They can have a good feeling towards this is like a Stones compared to the ’90 and 1989 was the sound Synthesized, but not hide the blank indeed, it was a heartwarming scene Keith’s forget the lyrics with all one’s might.
However, the happening that Mick also had the wrong entry of the song “Miss You”, momentum would’ve remained clearly this. The Sainamare in trouble, such as a bad connection of the microphone from (4:58 ~) the second half of “Jumping Jack Flash”, who recorded the disposal of noise until it enters Contrary to enhance the first time of such performance. But the point that fixes densely there, state do not care only to the extent that the sound fluctuates slightly until’m sure I can not be recovered, should you be surprised absolutely if people there is that it was listen to the original sound source. Such a state is also calm “Sympathy For The Devil” and later, no doubt that you can enjoy in the sound quality of the preeminent live Stones latest’m sure I can get over the difficulty. Please check all means the stunning revival of the first time Mick containing the fighting spirit!
来日公演終了直後、ミックに降りかかってしまった不幸によってツアーの日程に変化が起きてしまったストーンズのツアーですが、遂に5月26日のオスロから再開、すでに各所での素晴らしいライヴが大きな評判を呼んでいます。本作はツアー3日目に当たる6月1日のスイス・チューリッヒ公演。最速で登場したこの日のオーディエンス録音を元に限定のプレスCDにてリリース。今回収録された音源は大変に優秀な音質で、周囲の盛り上がりのレベルが低く、ストレスなしで聴ける見事な録音状態です。レベルの高い音源が出そろった日本公演ものと比べて音像は少しおとなしいバランスとなっていますが、この落ち着きのある音質が独特の魅力を感じさせるものでしょう。オーディエンス録音でよくある周囲の盛り上がりなどが気になる人などにはむしろ理想的な録音状態であるかと思われます。
さてこの日の演奏ですが、ミックが不幸から立ち直ってみせたことをアピールせんばかりの大熱演となっています。一曲目の「Start Me Up」が終わるや否や、ミックはサンキューを連発。その後も毎曲ごとにハイテンションなMCで盛り上げようとする姿からも彼の復活ぶりが伺えるというもの。「Worried About You」での裏声ボーカルなども気迫がはっきりと伝わってくるほど。それに加えてキースのコンディションも素晴らしく、日本公演からワンランク上のタイトさがステージ上から発されています。反対に言うと手負いだったからこそ気迫のみなぎった日本公演と比べて軽めな演奏にも映るので、この辺りはツアーの進行によってどのように変化してゆくかが注目されるところでしょう。
リクエストコーナーでは「Let’s Spend The Night Together」が演奏されました。2012年以降のライブでは初の演奏となりますので、さすがにバンド全体はもたついたグルーブ感が否めません。しかしその演奏でチャーリーが奮起、一人だけ暴走しているのでは？と錯覚しそうなプレイが演奏のボルテージを上げてくれます。さらに日本公演では演奏されなかった「Out Of Control」が続けて披露されますが、気合の入ったこの日のミックらしい熱唱によってなかなかの出来を示していました。
しかもこの日はメンバー紹介でも触れられたようにロニーの誕生日。キースも「You Got The Silver」を終えたところで彼の誕生日を祝うと、本人も「ありがとうキース、みんなもありがとう！」と最高に和やかな光景が繰り広げられました。そこから続いたキース・レパートリーは何と驚きの「Can’t Be Seen」の復活！1990年ツアー以来久しく演奏されていなかった曲がまさかの登場です。シンセサイズドなサウンドだった1989年や90年と比べて今回の方がストーンズらしくて好感を持てますが、さすがにブランクは隠せず、キースが思いっ切り歌詞を忘れているのが微笑ましい場面でした。
しかしミックも「Miss You」で歌の入り方を間違えてしまったハプニング、これは明らかに勢いが余ってしまったのでしょう。そんな演奏の充実ぶりとは裏腹に録音の方は「Jumping Jack Flash」の後半(4:58～）からマイクの接続不良のようなトラブルに苛まれ、ノイズまで入る始末。ところがそこを緻密に修正し、ちょっと音がふらつく程度にしか気にならない状態まで回復させてみせた点は、元の音源を聴かれたことがある人ならば絶対に驚かれるはず。そんな状態も「Sympathy For The Devil」以降は落ち着き、困難を乗り越えてみせた最新のストーンズのライブを抜群の音質で堪能していただけること間違いなし。気合の入ったミックの見事な復活ぶりを是非お確かめください！
