Don Henley / L.A. Forum 1990 Mike Millard Master Tapes / 2CDR / Uxbridge
The Forum, Inglewood, CA, USA 8th June 1990
Don Henley reached the pinnacle of his solo career with the masterpiece “THE END OF THE INNOCENCE”. The world tour that took place in response to the big hit was held for three years, but it did not come true that the live album was released from the tour that lasted for such a long time.
In 1989, Houston’s radio broadcast was realized as a promotion immediately after the release of the album, but the editing in which the middle stage of the concert was completely cut to fit on one broadcast disc. Regarding the final stage of the tour in 1991, Cincinnati’s PA out sound board was leaked, but there was a problem that the presence was weak.
In that respect, in 1990, he appeared on MTV Unplugged instead of the usual live stage, but this was a short broadcast time, and above all, it is hard to say that it is a live video that represents the tour.
After all, at the beginning of this year, it was also the time when the title song of the previous album won the Grammy Award and received a lot of attention, and it was also the year when the performance in Japan was realized just before. Under these circumstances, it is regrettable that the full live broadcast and release were not realized.
However, as it was so popular, it turned out that even Mike Millard was there to record his solo stage!
Of course, he made the recording at his home, the LA Forum. If so, the high quality is guaranteed, but the quality is actually at a level that gives you goosebumps when you hear it. As usual, the sound image is still alive, and the freshness of the sound is wonderful.
The record of the late Eagles by Millard “SANTA MONICA 1980: MIKE MILLARD 1ST GENERATION CASSETTE” was also a superb audience, but this time it is also a spectacular Millard quality.
Although it was at the height of its popularity at the time, it is undeniable that Henry’s solo has now fallen into the category of “nostalgic” late 80’s rock, so this time it is a CD-R release from UXBRIDGE, but the quality is completely press. class.
Anyway, it was a stage in 1990 when it was at the peak of popularity, so the set list of self-confidence that showed solo numbers up to that point was a masterpiece. “The End Of The Innocence”, which has now become a classic, was also positioned as a new song at the time, so it was performed at the beginning of the live. After that, nostalgic solo numbers such as “New York Minute” and “The Boys Of Summer” are slurping.
In front of this fulfilling song selection, even the Eagles number seems unnecessary, but Henry at this time was at the height of his popularity, so he devoted himself to singer. As for the drums, he left it to former King Crimson’s Ian Wallace, and as a result, Wallace hit the famous songs of the Eagles, including “Hotel California”, which is a rare live performance for maniacs. to.
And it’s fun to hear Henry’s peculiar indifferent yet fast-paced chatter here and there. It’s so funny that he’s doing it, and even if you don’t understand English, you can enjoy just listening to his unique speaking voice.
A performance and set list unique to such a solo era. Furthermore, it is a new mirrored master whose stage full of charm unique to 1990, such as staging that is more talkative than the time of the Eagles, was recorded with an astonishing audience!
