Sound board recording in about ten years ago from now has become a hot topic been excavated, 1981 Although the tour is the first day of the Philadelphia concert, this time T & J is low Generation master and mono audience recording of the sound source (also low Generation the reconstructed and recorded version). Because it is a T & J, which always provide a high-quality sound source to the fan, then you’ll be also folded those who listened to this version. However, I think I understand if person when it was that was heard, but the complete editing awaited the combined two of sound source, sloppy editing process is mating to state that in particular remains high pitch of audience recording, feel that it is anyhow to listen painful state I think than were. It is this version that the blurring of editing to much nowadays little unusual (laughs) can be seen, the When recording you have restore thoroughly the rough location of the deviation and editing of such flashy pitch.
Any one of this selling is the opening part that had been omitted in its outstanding SBD title but I such that it has Mise been recorded long in the audience recording, there displacement of part of the audience and the SBD in from the violently (in the original if I see you tempted to cut) Fixed point where sound was mapped twice. Such a point where unnaturalness of editing had another stand out of Mick in after the end of “Let It Bleed” MC. Where I’ve heard as if they echoed his words from so much of the shift condition, we have resolved to re-edit the audience again recording. And so you have recorded with correct also the deviation of pitch in relation to audience recording part that is used in many places, no longer improved to easy to state that listen enough to not be compared to the original state, and in the press CD also this time limited I was finishing to a state suitable for release!

Last year Hampton For 1981 US tour has been achieved is finally released in the form of a DVD and CD, should recently many people that have been touched on this tour. But compared with SBD sound source of the second day in the same Philadelphia first day is not an easy situation of never available in the recently here, it seems that it is not uncommon to be listened to by the time of release. Especially for those who were accustomed to, such as last year’s Hampton video No doubt that is received with a big impact. After all the first day of Philadelphia and (almost) to both sides of the coin in Hampton on the last day. It is loose and the Stones fully open of wild tour the first day in every sense.
And not that live can whole volume is Metameta playing of this day, the song that was playing in the US tour of 1978, that is high already complete while the first day with respect to songs from “SOME GIRLS” performance how you make me listen to you handed down from SBD sound source. However Stones collapse as soon as it became repertoire for ’81 tour (laughs). First “Let’s Spend The Night Together” is immediately Keith begun to me bite is tremendous mistake. Almost as if the ghost of ’76 Knebworth appeared in the ’81 Philadelphia.
And obvious that not even track order is still conceived, when compared to live after the “She’s So Cold” and reflected to have been swapped the position of “Let Me Go”. But they still just the beginning, does not keep up with the base of the building at all even when the “Let It Bleed” which came to be a live performance from this tour started Mick. How can become again eventually, but it is range of anti-made and no longer public rehearsal. Moreover, I prominent in the front and rear of the song, but this day will talk Ronnie well. Members other than Mick Why not unusual in also the called LIVE yapping up here in the live of Stones. Enters by dividing the Mick also a member introduction “Hey, Mick, wonder if a little good. I like a had to skip to the audience accidentally my ring. I’m ring of very good gold was it went Shitsukushi. I do not want to return me Nara, but not ginger Well, I basis I do troubled really if there is not to “(” Hey Mick, Mick I’ve just thrown my ring out in the audience It’s a very nice gold ring -.. it went over there . If you do not want to return it, (it) do not matter, but, it, suddenly or crazy talk toward the microphone and I’m going to get in terrible trouble “.), in this way, he the more of the talk seems to be the in take away your strain has exploded.
That called a maximum of centerpiece among this slapstick was the first day it would be “Tops”. The original was a new song that was completed to pick up the outtakes at the time of enrollment Mick Taylor in the “TATTOO YOU”, where wild playing of a momentum in playing quite a thing. Studio version transformed the song that Mick was singing in the beginning to end falsetto had reflected weakly, it has evolved into a number there is a loose of the good sense to the Stones seems rough. But after this is our playing schedule during live production in Rockford performances has released “PARTY DOWN” is canceled, and still made was played in Boulder performances of “PAVE BOULDER ’81” of our release is the last it was a song of doom that would disappeared.
And when it comes to live late but is also a sublime and that has become like the song order, such as want call even as the “climax for repertoire selection”, confused intro of “Satisfaction” in the conclusion on it are “Jumping Jack Flash” 迷場 surface Keith begins to play Te is famous from the age of audience recording, but please try to listen to it in this SBD sound source. You’ll be losing the words too terrible mistake the first time. But coupled with Mick wild song at this point, it is also fact and Hampton is a great source where you can enjoy a dynamic performance in a completely different wild. The recorded tour the first day of Philadelphia, which forms the eternal classic Hampton and the counter electrode in the longest and stability of the state and the press CD, still loose Stones is the best!

今から十年ほど前にサウンドボード録音が発掘されて話題となった、1981年ツアー初日のフィラデルフィア公演ですが、今回はT&Jがその音源のロージェネレーション・マスターとモノラル・オーディエンス録音(同じくロージェネレーション)で再構築したバージョンを収録。いつも上質な音源をファンに提供するT&Jですので、今回のバージョンを聴かれた方もおられることでしょう。しかし聞かれた方でしたらば解るかと思いますが、二つの音源を合わせたせっかくのコンプリート編集も、特にオーディエンス録音のピッチが高いままという状態に雑な編集処理が合わさり、どうにも聴き辛い状態だと感じられたのではないでしょうか。今時ちょっと珍しいくらいに(苦笑)編集のブレが見られるのが今回のバージョンであり、収録に当たってはそのような派手なピッチの狂いや編集の雑な個所を徹底的にレストアしています。
今回の売りの一つは既発SBDタイトルでも省かれていたオープニング部分をオーディエンス録音で長く収録してみせたことなのですが、そこからしてオーディエンスとSBDのパートのずれが激しく(本来であればカットしてしまいたくなるほど)音がダブっていた個所を修正。このような編集の不自然さがもう一つ際立っていた個所が「Let It Bleed」終了後におけるミックのMC。そこではあまりのズレ具合から彼の台詞がこだましているかのように聴こえましたが、改めてオーディエンス録音を編集し直して解消しています。それに各所で使われているオーディエンス録音パートに関してもピッチの狂いを正して収録していますので、もはや元の状態とは比べ物にならないほど聴きやすい状態へと向上し、今回も限定のプレスCDでのリリースに相応しい状態へと仕上げました!

1981年アメリカ・ツアーに関しては昨年ハンプトンが遂にDVDとCDの形でリリースが実現しています、最近このツアーに触れられた方も多いはずです。しかし同じフィラデルフィアでも二日目のSBD音源と比べて初日はここ最近で決して入手の容易な状況ではなく、今回のリリースのよって聴かれる方が少なくないと思われます。特に昨年のハンプトン映像などを見慣れた方には大きな衝撃をもって受け止められること間違いなし。何しろ初日のフィラデルフィアと(ほとんど)最終日のハンプトンではコインの裏表。あらゆる意味でルーズかつワイルドなツアー初日のストーンズ全開なのです。
しかもこの日のライブは全編がメタメタな演奏の出来ということはなく、1978年のアメリカ・ツアーで演奏していた曲、つまり「SOME GIRLS」からの曲に関しては初日ながらも既に完成度の高い演奏を聴かせてくれる様子がSBD音源から伝わってきます。ところが81年ツアー用レパートリーになった途端にストーンズが崩壊(笑)。まず「Let’s Spend The Night Together」が始まってすぐにキースが物凄いミスをかましてくれます。まるで76年ネブワースの亡霊が81年のフィラデルフィアに現れたかのよう。
それに曲順もまだ練られていないのが明白で、後のライブと比べると「She’s So Cold」と「Let Me Go」の位置が入れ替わっているように映ります。しかしそれらはまだ序の口で、このツアーからライブ演奏されるようになった「Let It Bleed」をミックが始めてもビルのベースが全然ついていけてません。結局やり直しとなるのですが、こうなるともはや公開リハーサルの域ですよね。しかもその曲の前後などで顕著なのですが、この日はロニーがよく喋ります。ストーンズのライブにおいてミック以外のメンバーがここまで喋りまくるライブというのも珍しいのではないでしょうか。メンバー紹介でもミックに割って入り「ヘイ、ミック、ちょっといいかな。俺の指輪を誤って観客席に飛ばしちゃったみたいなんだ。凄く良い金の指輪なんだけど失くしちまった。返したくないってなら、まぁしょうがないけど、俺的にはあれが無いと本当に困るんだ」(“Hey Mick, Mick. I’ve just thrown my ring out in the audience. It’s a very nice gold ring – it went over there. If you don’t want to return it, (it) don’t matter, but, it, I’m going to get in terrible trouble”.)と突然マイクに向かって喋りまくったり、このように、彼のお株を奪うのではと思えるほどのトークが炸裂しています。
こんなドタバタした初日の中でも最大の目玉と呼べるのが「Tops」でしょう。元はミック・テイラー在籍時のアウトテイクをピックアップして「TATTOO YOU」で完成させた新曲でしたが、ここでの演奏のワイルドで勢いのある演奏はなかなかのもの。スタジオ・バージョンではミックが終始裏声で歌っていたことが弱々しく映っていた曲が一変、ストーンズらしいラフでいい意味のルーズさがあるナンバーへと進化しました。ところがこの後は当店がリリースした「PARTY DOWN」のロックフォード公演でライブ本番中に演奏予定が取り消され、やはり当店リリースの「PAVE BOULDER ‘81」のボルダー公演で演奏されたのが最後となって姿を消してしまう悲運の曲でした。
そしてライブ終盤になるとまるで「クライマックス用レパートリー選択」とでも呼びたくなるような曲順になっているのがまた壮絶ですが、その上で締めくくりの「Satisfaction」のイントロが「Jumping Jack Flash」と混同してキースが弾き出す迷場面はオーディエンス録音の時代から有名ですが、それをこのSBD音源で聴いてみてください。あまりにもひどいミスぶりに言葉を失ってしまうことでしょう。しかしこの時点でのミックのワイルドな歌と相まって、ハンプトンとは全く違うワイルドでダイナミックな演奏が楽しめる素晴らしい音源であることもまた事実。永遠の定番ハンプトンと対極をなすツアー初日のフィラデルフィアを最長かつ安定の状態とプレスCDにて収録、やはりルーズなストーンズは最高です!
