1982 DURAN DURAN pioneered the golden age with the famous board “RIO”. Introducing the finest soundboard album that you can enjoy the stage.
This work was recorded at the “July 9, 1982 Detroit performance”. It is the super powerful sound board recording. Speaking of 1982, not only the big break in “RIO” but also the legendary first visit to Japan was realized. First, let’s look back at the schedule and check the position of the show.
・ April 15-22: Australia (6 performances)
・ April 25-May 1: First visit to Japan (5 performances)
“May 10” RIO “released”
・ June 23-August 18: North America (33 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
・ September 23-October 20: Europe (17 performances)
・ October 29-December 1: UK (28 performances) ← * Official
・ December 31: New York performance
This is 1982 DURAN DURAN. The legendary first visit to Japan was held just before the release of “RIO”, but the performance of this work in Detroit was after the release. It was the 12th concert of the “North America” leg, which was the main part of the tour.
Such a show has long been known for its sound board recordings, and has produced a large number of existing groups. This work is the same sound board sound source, but it is the highest peak master of the latest excavation different from the past. The prestigious “Krw_co” was responsible for the excavation. The 1st Gene Cassette, which was dubbed directly from the Omoto Sound Board, was discovered and digitized from there.
In fact, the sound is superb. As a type, it is not a type that has undergone polishing like the official live board and FM broadcasting, but a mix table direct connection system. The rough live performance that the on-site PA would have spit out was blown out without any decoration, and the loud cheers were whispering in the distance. You can’t really expect the experience of the concert hall, but the dynamism that the live performance rises in your brain with your feet is overwhelming, and the pleasure that the whole body is completely synchronized with DURAN DURAN can never be experienced in the official work. Rather than being a substitute for the so-called official board, it is the ideal form that soundboard enthusiasts love.
Moreover, it is definitely the highest ever. A few years ago, some masters were touted as “Pre-FM”, but it’s hard to compare. Although the conventional master could also enjoy the feeling of being directly connected, there is more noise than this work, and the pitch is swaying in an unstable manner. Of course, the vividness of the outline and the beauty of the sound are different. Nowadays, the freshness of this work is so overwhelming that it makes me want to say “Where is Pre-FM?”
The upgrade sound is a show that concentrates and reduces the first two works. As mentioned above, the official work “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!” Is famous when it comes to live performances in 1982, but the set of this work is similar and different. Let’s organize by comparing here.
● Duran Duran (6 songs)
・ Girls on Film / Night Boat / Friends of Mine / Planet Earth / Careless Memories / Anyone Out There (★)
● Rio (5 songs)
・ Rio / Last Chance On The Stairway (★) / Hungry Like The Wolf / New Religion / Hold Back The Rain (★)
* Note: The “★” mark is a song that cannot be heard in the official work “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!”.
… And it looks like this. Perhaps because it was after the album was released, “Rio” and “New Religion”, which were not played on the first visit to Japan, also appeared, and the contents were a mix of the first two works in almost half. The three songs “Anyone Out There,” “Last Chance On The Stairway,” and “Hold Back The Rain,” which cannot be heard in “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!”, Have been sealed for over 15 years, and “Night Boat” Is a repertoire that will not be played for the next 20 years. It is a delicious live album with a rich mood unique to the early days, while the masterpieces that are becoming a big standard are born and the listening response is increasing.
It is a super powerful live album that stands in the middle of a full-scale breakthrough and the live performance that raises the gear toward the climax era flows directly into the brain. It is a press-class masterpiece as a single music album, and it is inevitable as a complementary board that connects “RIO” and “SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER”. An absolute board that I would like you to put on the shelf side by side with the official historical daimyo boards. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.
★ Super powerful sound board recording of “July 9, 1982 Detroit performance”. It is a digitalized product from the highest peak 1st Gene Cassette discovered by the prestigious “Krw_co”, and is directly connected to the mixed table with a bare core. The dynamism that the live performance rises in the brain with squishy and bare feet is overwhelming, and the whole body is completely synchronized with DURAN DURAN. You can also enjoy “Anyone Out There,” “Last Chance On The Stairway,” and “Hold Back The Rain,” which you can’t hear in the official work “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!”.
