Steve Hopkins was recorded Boston performances of March 25, by recording “ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAL MOMENT?” Also was dictated among fans early evaluation of the final edition was recorded great performance of the 1977 tour. But Hopkins sound source has been around for 77 years Boston performances all the master sound source earlier this year, between the fan “25 days is the norm because of a staple be released in the press of the CD”, “the other day in response to the voice of the Boston performances also want you to release “, we’ve now achieved the release of luxury press CD six CD set that was at once coupling the 77-year Boston performances than 25 days! Surprising is that it’s sound quality, which boasts the ultimate clearness of about become likely to illusion and DAT or recording also try to listen in now, let alone three days all of the recording is at that time ear. Such as vocal and performance of balance and overall sense of distance of the blues, recording state is not named, so complaint is still astounding quality now. Sound quality was also firmly to catch up to the atmosphere, such as swelling of the 77-year tour specific strange tension and the audience, even if the rich sound quality of Ya enough I think not not come transmitted as a sound board of these days has been excavated I would say clear of.
And not just these three days to listen at all ultimate sound quality, it is also surprised that the entirely full throttle is playing each day. First is the 22 days of the first day, but this day is titled previous “PROMISE INTO THE DARKNESS” was present, ultra-clear sound quality that more than lightly it. This day I tour the regular song selection still, was the date on which cover of the Animals Thanks to that in Boston four days, “It’s My Life” is only playing. Moreover, because it is a tour which arranged the Miami Horns, it is valuable that is being played in a jazzy atmosphere than the same song 76 years tour. Same as unpublished songs that have been played in regular in the years of stage 76, “The Promise” is depleted is the playing number of times become 77 years, this day is that the tour last, this was also a precious moment. Even so, to say that it is the first day of the four-day consecutive performances, the intense performance that does not remove the all the power of the blues will be stunned.
23 days only does not exist so far of the CD-R level items, CD of the press of the disk will be this is the first time. Moreover, the recording of the highest quality that exceed them in the margin was achieved. From a song selection surface, from this day will change the contents of “Korezo Boston 77”. It will be played “Incident On 57th Street,” instead of “It’s My Life”. More The Righteous Brothers of cover that symbolizes the Boston 77 “Little Latin Lupe Lu” began to be played in the encore to have you such from this day. However amazing blues is the best in this day of would be the “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out”. Please try to listen to his songs here. It is intense too!
24 days, but was present the famous its outstanding title in the “HIGHER AND HIGHER” and “RUNNING INTO THE DARKNESS,” such as CD-R level, much clear master quality than them, yet in the press of the disk release was finally realized. This is one day upper tension that I do not think before the last day, you will be stunned here to show without any cutting corners. The evidence in the speedy “It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City” is playing from this day, further show of violence Jackie Wilson’s cover “Higher And Higher” as telling the of this day is the day the first It became a performance. These all day listening far from full, yet all of the stages Boston 77 of the legendary listen in the audience recording of the highest sound quality, finally all the day of release in the eagerly-awaited press CD around the world has been realized! CD6 Disc press from overseas arrived limited.

スティーブ・ホプキンス録音による3月25日のボストン公演を収録した「ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAL MOMENT?」は1977年ツアーの名演を収録した決定版との評価を早くもファンの間で決定づけました。しかしホプキンス音源は今年に入って77年ボストン公演すべてのマスター音源が出回っており、ファンの間での「25日は定番なのだからプレスのCDでリリースされるのは当たり前」、「他の日のボストン公演もリリースしてほしい」との声に応え、今回は25日以外の77年ボストン公演を一気にカップリングした豪華プレスCD六枚組セットのリリースが実現しました! 驚くべきは三日間すべての録音が当時どころか今の耳で聴いてみてもDAT録音かと錯覚しそうになるほどの究極的なクリアネスを誇る音質だということです。ブルースのボーカルや演奏のバランスや全体の距離感など、文句の付けようがない録音状態は今もなお驚異的なクオリティです。77年ツアー特有の異様なテンションや観客の盛り上がりといった雰囲気までもしっかりとキャッチした音質は、仮にこれらの日のサウンドボードが発掘されたとしても伝わってこないのではないかと思うほどの豊かな音質やクリアーさといえるでしょう。
しかもこれら三日間がすべて究極の音質で聴けるというだけでなく、それぞれの日の演奏がことごとくエンジン全開ということがまた驚きなのです。まず初日の22日ですが、この日は以前『PROMISE INTO THE DARKNESS』というタイトルが存在しましたが、それを軽く上回るウルトラクリアーな音質。まだこの日はツアーのレギュラーな選曲なのですが、そのおかげでボストン四日間の中でアニマルズのカバー「It’s My Life」が唯一演奏された日となりました。しかもマイアミ・ホーンズを配したツアーですので、同曲が76年ツアーよりもジャジーな雰囲気で演奏されているのが貴重です。同じように76年のステージではレギュラーで演奏されていた未発表曲「The Promise」は77年になると演奏回数が激減し、この日がツアー最後という、これも貴重な瞬間でした。それにしても四日連続公演の初日だというのに、ブルースのまったく力を抜かない激しい演奏には唖然とさせられます。
23日はこれまでCD-Rレベルのアイテムしか存在せず、プレスのディスクでのCD化はこれが初めてとなります。しかもそれらを余裕で上回る最高音質での収録が実現しました。選曲面から言うと、この日からが「これぞボストン77」という内容に変化します。 「It’s My Life」の代わりに「Incident On 57th Street」演奏されます。それ以上にボストン77を象徴するライチャス・ブラザースのカバー「Little Latin Lupe Lu」がアンコールで演奏され始めたのがこの日からなのです。しかしこの日でブルースが一番すごいのは「Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out」でしょう。ここでの彼の歌を聴いてみてください。激しすぎです!
24日は「HIGHER AND HIGHER」や「RUNNING INTO THE DARKNESS」といったCD-Rレベルで有名な既発タイトルが存在していましたが、それらよりもはるかにクリアーなマスター・クオリティ、しかもプレスのディスクでのリリースがついに実現しました。これが最終日の一日前とは思えないアッパーなテンション、一切手抜きなしのショウにここでも唖然とさせられます。その証拠にスピーディーな「It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City」がこの日から演奏され、さらにこの日のショウの激しさを物語るようなジャッキー・ウィルソンのカバー「Higher And Higher」はこの日が最初の演奏となりました。こういったすべての日が聴きどころ満載、しかもすべてのステージが最高音質のオーディエンス録音で聴ける伝説のボストン77、遂にすべての日が世界中のファン待望のプレスCDでのリリースが実現しました!海外よりプレスCD6枚組が限定入荷しました。
