For already five years ago and became healing of the album had “hours …” unveiling, It was in 1999 that was instead of the world tour by performing a show one night only in countries around the world, this time of Italy Milan One piece whole was recorded showcase quotient in has been released. While most of the performances boot leg at the time had been released, Milan performances and performances in Copenhagen after this introduction into this market because it is the pattern that has not been a boot leg is worth. Moreover, in the state that you are based on the DAT master was recorded at a fairly high-quality sound, it is possible to enjoy a vivid live at the source, which is beautifully packaged to air in the venue from the treble from the bass, yet sound depth, and since the beginning of the tour longtime buddy a which was Reeves-Gaburerusu is withdrawal, seems a band sound is slightly changed, did not become this withdrawal play also so blow from the fact that also changes the quality of the album . Starting from the classic only spill a sigh to beautiful piano Mike Garson those who set, “Can not Help Thinking About Me” of rarity, also “Always Crashing In The Same Car” surprise of the music this tour to hear in centerpiece and will, also Disc 2 “Drive In Saturday” and impressed the origin regression of Bowie that would sung also intense songs called of. “Repetition” is also becomes a number that has revived only for a moment in this tour, but so also in a recent tour, because now every time becomes super best selection of music live, long artist of carriers that live three-hour course is required probably. Fan never heard the 1999 tour I want to try to listen because it is good opportunity. Bowie in the 1970s no doubt be impressed to Bowie at the end of a different century from that of the.

 

1999年、新作「hours」のプロモーションのため、アメリカとヨーロッパでたった9回のみ行われたショートツアーより12月4日イタリアはミラノはアルカトラス公演をサウンドボードに匹敵する超高音質で完全収録で初登場です。10回にも満たないコンサートの為に組まれたことが信じられないほどの聴き所満載の素晴らしいステージを、「オフィシャル・レベルの」という形容が大袈裟に聴こえない最高級のサウンドでたっぷりと堪能することが出来ます。(おそらくボウイ・ライブ盤史上最高の音質です。)TIN MACHINE時代から素晴らしいプレイでボウイをサポートしてきたReeves Gabrelsに代わる新しいギタリストとして、Mark Plati、Page Hamiltonの2人のギタリストが参加。Pageはこのツアーのみの参加になりましたが、全編に渡って見事なリードプレイを聴かせてくれます。(MarkはHeathenツアーまでリズムギターを担当することになります。)最新Realityツアーでもお馴染みのテクニカル・ドラマーSterling Campbellは本ツアーからの参加になります。マイク・ガースンのピアノをバックにボウイが一人でドラマチックに歌い上げるLife On Mars?からコンサートはスタート。「hours」からはThursday’s Child, Survive, Something In The Air, Seven, The Pretty Things Are Going To Hellがプレイされています。このツアー独自のセットリストは聴き応え満点で、ボウイファンにとってはとても大切なアイテムのひとつになることは間違いありません。極上の音質で蘇る1999年の幽玄と刺激に満ちたミラノの一夜。ぜひ、ご堪能下さい。

既に5年前となってしまった癒し系のアルバム『hours…』お披露目のため、世界各国で一夜限りのショウを行ってワールドツアーの替わりとした1999年だったが、今回はイタリアのミラノで披露されたショウをまるごと収録した一枚がリリースされた。当時はほとんどの公演ブートレッグがリリースされていたが、ミラノ公演とこの後のコペンハーゲンでの公演はブートレッグとなっていなかった模様なので今回の市場への投入は価値がある。しかもかなりハイクオリティのサウンドで収録されたDATマスターを元としている様子で、低音から高音、更に音の深さから会場内の空気まで見事にパッケージされたソースで生々しくライブを楽しむことができ、ツアーに入ってからは長年の相棒であったリーヴス・ガブレルスが脱退し、バンドサウンドが若干変わっているが、アルバムの質も変わっていることからこの脱退劇もそれほど打撃にはならなかったようだ。セットの方はマイク・ガースンの美しきピアノにため息をこぼすしかない名曲から始まり、「Can’t Help Thinking About Me」の珍しさ、また「Always Crashing In The Same Car」で聞ける驚きの楽曲が本ツアーの目玉となり、またDisc 2「Drive In Saturday」と云う強烈な楽曲をも歌い上げてしまうボウイの原点回帰には感動。「Repetition」も本ツアーで一瞬だけ甦ったナンバーとなり、最近のツアーでもそうだが、今は毎回が超ベスト選曲ライブとなってしまうので、キャリアの長いアーティストは3時間コースのライブが必須になることだろう。1999年ツアーを聞いたことのないファンは良いきっかけなので聴いてみてもらいたい。70年代のボウイとは異なる世紀末のボウイにも感動することは間違いない。
