Mike Millard’s original master excavation business continues to shake the enthusiasts of the world. The latest work is Tom Petty in 1990, who became a breakthrough with the astronomical hit of his first solo album “FULL MOON FEVER”.
This work was recorded in the “Costa Mesa Performance on March 3, 1990”. It is a super-high-end audience recording. ELO’s Jeff Lin was featured on the album, but on the tour he set out on the road with the regular THE HEARTBREAKERS. First, let’s check the show position from the schedule.

● 1989
“Released” FULL MOON FEVER “on April 24th”
・ July 5th-September 13th: North America # 1 (45 performances)
・ October 28: BRIDGE SCHOOL BENEFIT appearance
● 1990
・ January 26th-March 6th: North America # 2 (26 performances) ← ★ here ★
・ May 18: Wilmington performance

This is Tom Petty in 1989/1990. The tour is divided into two, the summer of 1989 immediately after the album’s release and the beginning of the following 1990, and the Costa Mesa performance of this work is the latter. It was the 24th performance of “North America # 2”.
Recorded at such a show, this work is a beautiful recording of unprecedented moments where the heart trembles with the splendor of mirrored recording and the breath does not stop. Speaking of Costa Mesa in 1990, Linda Ronstadt’s “COSTA MESA 1990 (Uxbridge 1224)” was also highly acclaimed the other day, but this work is also a mirrored recording of the same venue. The cheerful cheers are definitely audience recordings, but the direct feeling of the core, the detailed vibration level of the strings and skin, the sense of stability that does not cause chattering or distortion … everything is nonstandard. In a word, it would be “an official work”, but if you put it away, it would be rude to record. Although it is clearly a guest record, it is obviously more beautiful than the official work. The point is that the luster of the sound that can not be said to be profitable. It does not create a sense of distance in the core, does not allow the details to cloud over with dust, and yet is sweet to the touch. The beauty of audience recording, the magic of mirrored recording. The original masters of legendary recordings have been hitting lately, but even in that collection, it’s a world of beautiful sounds.
▽ Anyway, what is drawn with an abnormal beautiful sound is a full show that boiled with a big hit of “FULL MOON FEVER”. Now let’s organize the contents.

● TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS name song (12 songs)
・ American Girl: Breakdown
・ Your Gonna Get It !: Listen To Her Heart
・ Destroy: What Are You Doin ‘In My Life? / Refugee / Don’t Do Me Like That / Even The Losers
・ Hard Promise: The Waiting
・ Long After Dark: You Got Lucky / Straight Into Darkness
・ Southern Accents: Don’t Come Around Here No More / Rebels
Let Me Up: How Many More Days
● Solo name songs (8 songs)
・ FULL MOON FEVER: Love Is A Long Road / A Mind With A Heart Of Its Own / I Won’t Back Down / Free Fallin ‘/ A Face In The Crowd / Alright For Now / Yer So Bad / Runnin’ Down A Dream
● Covers (7 songs)
-Down The Road Apiece (WILL BRADLEY TRIO) / Lonely Weekends (Charlie Rich) / Something In The Air (THUNDERCLAP NEWMAN) / Mr. Tambourine Man (★: Bob Dylan) / Turn! Turn! Turn! (★: THE BYRDS) ／ Eight Miles High （★ ： THE BYRDS） ／ Ben’s Boogie
* Note: The “★” mark is a joint performance with Roger McGin.

… And this is how it looks. While the traditional classics also behaved in a big way, the core is the “FULL MOON FEVER” repertoire. While the major songs are lined up in a row, rare songs such as “What Are You Doin ‘In My Life?”, “Straight Into Darkness”, “How Many More Days” are spices, and the variety is very rich. Especially, the new song “A Mind With A Heart Of Its Own” is a valuable masterpiece that is only played on this tour.
▽ Many more valuable covers. “Down The Road Apiece,” which was a limited repertoire only for this tour, is also delicious, but the biggest point is the guest performance. At this show, that Roger McGin appeared. You can enjoy co-starring with 3 songs. Roger appears in the middle of the show (at the beginning of DISC 2) and plays Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” As it is, THE BYRDS’s “Turn! Turn! Turn!” And “Eight Miles High” are also co-starring. Especially “Mr. Tambourine Man” is definitely the highlight of this work!
Only such a show is delicious, but it is amazing because the feeling of the scene is wonderful. What is even more wonderful is the sense of the scene. Even though the singing voice and the guitar are glossy, the cheering that flies around is strangely “live”, and the spine is thrilled by the contrast between the beautiful sound of the world and the cheerful cheers. I’ll be careful not to misunderstand, but in this work, the performance sound is great, but the cheering that is flying around is unwilling. It explodes in the intro of the hit song, converges on the melody on the bridge, and becomes a thick chorus with a chorus. Not only is it a culmination of popularity, but the power of masterpieces allows the audience to control it freely. I’ve been dealing with countless records from countless bands, but I’ve never experienced such a spectacle and the real pleasure …

A block of famous songs with a transcendental quality that was overwhelmed by the collection of legendary musicians. And it’s a rare masterpiece that even unprecedented great success spectacle rushes in one go. There is no doubt about the sound and the charm of the audience, but the individuality of the audience recording is fully open, but in terms of pure audio, even the sound board and the official are overwhelming. It is said that this kind of sound can be used for spatial recording … The possibility of this is the permanent preservation press 2CD that does not stop trembling or aggravated skin. Please give it a try and experience it!

★ The sound is the best in Mike Mirrored recording.

全世界のマニアを震撼させ続けているマイク・ミラードのオリジナル・マスター発掘事業。その最新作は、初のソロアルバム『FULL MOON FEVER』の天文学的ヒットによって一躍時の人となった1990年のトム・ペティです。
そんな本作が記録されたのは「1990年３月３日コスタメサ公演」。その超極上オーディエンス録音です。アルバムではELOのジェフ・リンもフィーチュアされていましたが、ツアーではレギュラーのTHE HEARTBREAKERSと共にロードに出発。まずは、そのスケジュールからショウのポジションを確かめてみましょう。

●1989年
《４月24日『FULL MOON FEVER』発売》
・７月５日-９月13日：北米#1（45公演）
・10月28日：BRIDGE SCHOOL BENEFIT出演
●1990年
・１月26日-３月６日：北米#2（26公演）←★ココ★
・５月18日：ウィルミントン公演

これが1989年／1990年のトム・ペティ。ツアーはアルバム発売直後の1989年夏と翌1990年の初頭２つに大きく分かれており、本作のコスタメサ公演は後者。「北米#2」の24公演目にあたるコンサートでした。
そんなショウで録音された本作はミラード録音の素晴らしさに心が震え、タメ息が止まらない絶世の美録音。1990年コスタメサと言えば、先日もリンダ・ロンシュタットの『COSTA MESA 1990（Uxbridge 1224）』も大絶賛となりましたが、本作も同会場のミラード録音。あまりにも生々しい喝采は間違いなくオーディエンス録音ではあるものの、オンな芯のダイレクト感、弦や皮の振動レベルの詳細さ、ビビリも歪みも発生しない安定感……すべてが規格外。一言で表現するなら「まるでオフィシャル作品」となるわけですが、それで片付けてしまっては録音に失礼に当たる。明らかに客録なのに、明らかに公式作品より美しい。その要は、得も言われぬ鳴りの艶でしょうか。芯に距離感を生まず、ディテールに微塵の曇りも許さず、それでいてトロっと甘美。まさにオーディエンス録音だけの美しさ、ミラード録音だけのマジック。このところ伝説録音のオリジナル・マスターが連発しておりますが、そのコレクションにあってもズバ抜けた美の音世界なのです。
とにかく異常な美音で描かれるのは、『FULL MOON FEVER』の大ヒットで沸きに沸くフルショウ。ここで、その内容を整理してみましょう。

※注：「★」印はロジャー・マッギンとの共演曲。

……と、このようになっています。従来のクラシックスも大盤振る舞いしつつ、軸となるのは『FULL MOON FEVER』レパートリー。大代表曲がズラリと並びつつ、「What Are You Doin’ In My Life?」「Straight Into Darkness」「How Many More Days」といったレア曲がスパイスになっており、非常にバラエティ豊かです。特に新曲の「A Mind With A Heart Of Its Own」は、このツアーでしか演奏してない貴重な名曲です。
さらに貴重なのが数々のカバー。このツアーだけの限定レパートリーだった「Down The Road Apiece」も美味しいところですが、最大のポイントはゲスト共演。このショウでは、あのロジャー・マッギンが登場。３曲での共演が楽しめるのです。ロジャーが登場するのはショウの中盤（DISC 2の冒頭）で、ボブ・ディランの「Mr. Tambourine Man」を演奏。そのままTHE BYRDSの「Turn! Turn! Turn!」「Eight Miles High」も共演している。特に「Mr. Tambourine Man」は間違いなく本作ハイライトです！
そんなショウだけも美味しいのですが、現場感まで素晴らしいから凄い。それ以上に素晴らしいのが現場感。歌声もギターも艶っ艶のテラッテラなのに飛び交う声援は異様なほどに「生」で、絶世の美音と盛り上がりまくる喝采のコントラストに背筋がゾクゾクする。誤解の無いように念押ししておきますが、本作は演奏音こそが絶大でありつつ、飛び交う声援がやけに勝手気まま。それがヒット曲のイントロで爆発し、ブリッジでメロディに収束していき、サビでぶ厚いぶ厚い合唱隊に仕上がっていく。単に人気絶頂というだけでなく、名曲のパワーで観客を自由自在に操っている。無数のバンドの数え切れない記録を扱ってきましたが、こんなスペクタクルと醍醐味は初めて体験しました……。

伝説的な名録音家コレクションでもズバ抜けた超絶クオリティにして、名曲の塊。そして、前代未聞の大成功スペクタクルまでもが一気に押し寄せる希代の超名盤です。サウンドも醍醐味も間違いなくオーディエンス録音の個性が全開なのに、純オーディオ的にはサウンドボードやオフィシャルさえ圧倒している。こんなサウンドが空間録音に可能だとは……その可能性自体に身震いも粟立つ肌も止まらない永久保存プレス２CD。どうぞ、刮目してご体験ください！
