Play sample :
The Eagles 1976 Houston performance, which was held at the perfect timing of Glenn Frey’s birthday, with the release of the historic masterpiece “HOTEL CALIFORNIA” just around the corner. This day is also a well-known day for the existence of a sound board recording with very good sound quality although it is monaural.
Is it because of the good sound quality that FM broadcasting was the source? It is a sound source that tends to be thought, but in fact, the sound of the professional shot video shot for the system that projects the state of the stage on the screen in the venue that began to spread in each arena in the United States is the source, and the video is actually the source. are also widely available.
Therefore, it was a sound source with a taste of video sound and PA out sound board, but unlike the situation where PA sound boards of this era tend to be too direct and the balance of the actual performance collapses, the overall balance is very good. The reason why it is a standard is that it is good and it is very clear.
In any case, it was a sound source that did not have the rights of a regular recording, and the sound quality was very good, so now it has become a prey to the gray zone CDs that are flooded in the shops around it. It is also because of the good sound quality.
Although it is such a standard soundboard, this time it is released based on the latest version that appeared on the net. However, not only is the sound quality extremely clear, but if the pitch is accurate, there are almost no places that need to be modified at the time of release. was
The great appeal of this sound source is that even with a PA-out soundboard that has a direct feel, the Eagles’ stage performance is once again captured. The accuracy of the harmony work that is clear in the whole volume does not make you feel blurry even if you listen to such a sound source.
What’s more, even though it’s a monaural recording, it’s also wonderful that the guitar parts of the two guitarists, and the songs like “Witchy Woman” in which Fry plays the lead guitar, are very easy to hear. There is even a feeling that such outstanding ease of listening has been mastered by this latest version.
After all, even before the album release, the opening has already become “Hotel California”, and the original appearance of the historical masterpiece, which should be said to be a symbol of American rock in the 1970s, can be heard on an outstandingly clear soundboard. is too many points.
And since it was Fry’s birthday, JD Souther, who was close enough to call him a sub-member of the Eagles, appeared for the encore and celebrated his birthday while playing “The Best Of My Love”. The smiling scene is also famous, but such a peaceful scene is also unique before the release of “HOTEL CALIFORNIA”.
For the reasons mentioned above, there are many soundboards on the market, but this time we tried to carefully record based on the latest version. Therefore, although it is a CD-R release, it is a finish that can be enjoyed by beginners and enthusiasts with peace of mind. This is the latest version of the standard sound source that sets it apart from Amata’s gray zone CD group!
