1983, from the new “Money And Cigarettes” With the release done the tour, the European Circuit of the highlights, the third day than Hammersmith four consecutive performances and of the fourth day, May 18 days and 19 days best performances recorded in high-quality stereo audience recording of the level. Withdrawal of Roger Hawkins of the tour the first half, by the subscription of Jamie all-day car, scraping the music from the new, blues tune and set that was organized in the classic song live in for a long period of time to continue has been tour, new despite losing the sense that the promotion, in the attract stage the audience with overwhelming performance force, even in the first half of the tour’s 80, has the performance is taking place throughout the most listened meet. Tight rhythms and delicate fill onbeat, compared with the delicate groove of the time to go Roger Hawkins enrolled to build performance, decided Bashibashi luxurious fill in the post-glue, come dragged the other members of tension Jamie it is joined bands, in an entirely different thing etc. say that same tour, perhaps the stage that shows the direction of the rest of the 80s and 90s the first half of the tour. In “The Shape You’re In” from the most feel the change music is new in this line-up, the rhythm of the boogie, the colorfully production in turning out of cymbals, while we are decided to fill in the meantime, music arrangements that bring to climax towards the second half performance to symbolize this band. Its produced by the band of the groove other music, it has spread even to the slow number, not only overwhelm in Clapton’s solo “Double Trouble,” “Blues Medley”, leading to further heavy blues at the position of the snare “Worried Life Blues”, and “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Further on Up the Road” in this member, also you can listen to the typical performance throughout the entire period. 2 title 4 performances of the show, which this time will be released is due to all, the recording of the same person, the sound quality is recorded all the performances from the master cassette, it has been recorded in the difficult high-quality sound to believe as this age. “Money And Cigarettes” most emotional stage is captured by the best sound quality the last two days from the expanded Hammersmith four consecutive performances title from among the tour is appeared in limited press CD.
1983年、新作「Money And Cigarettes」リリースに伴い行われたツアーから、ヨーロッパ・サーキットのハイライト、ハマースミス4連続公演より3日目と4日目の、5月18日と19日公演を極上レベルの高音質ステレオ・オーディエンス録音で収録。ツアー前半でのロジャー・ホーキンスの離脱、ジェイミー・オールデイカーの加入により、新作からの楽曲を削り、ブルース・チューンとライブでの定番曲で組まれたセットで長期に渡り続行されたツアーは、新作のプロモーションという意味合いを失いながらも、圧倒的な演奏力で観客を魅了するステージで、80年代前半のツアーの中でも、最も聴き応えのあるパフォーマンスが繰り広げられています。オンビートのタイトなリズムと細やかなフィルで、繊細なグルーブを構築していくロジャー・ホーキンス在籍時の公演と比較し、後ノリで豪華なフィルをバシバシ決め、他のメンバーのテンションを引きずり出してくるジェイミーが加わったバンドは、同じツアーといえど全くの別物で、残りの80年代と90年代前半のツアーの方向性を示したステージといえるでしょう。このラインナップでの最も変化を感じられる楽曲は新作からの「The Shape You’re In」で、ブギーのリズムを、シンバルの打ち回しで多彩に演出し、その合間にフィルを決めていきながら、楽曲後半に向けて絶頂に持っていくというアレンジはこのバンドを象徴する演奏。その作り出されるバンドのグルーブは他の楽曲、スローナンバーにさえ波及しており、クラプトンのソロで圧倒する「Double Trouble」「Blues Medley」のみならず、スネアの位置で更なる重厚なブルースへと導く「Worried Life Blues」、そしてこのメンバーでの「I Shot The Sheriff」「Further On Up The Road」は、全年代を通しても代表的な演奏をを聞く事が出来ます。今回リリースされる2タイトル・4公演のショウは全て、同一人物の録音によるもので、音質は全ての公演をマスター・カセットから収録し、この年代としては信じ難い高音質で収録されています。「Money And Cigarettes」ツアーの中から最もエモーショナルなステージが展開されたハマースミス4連続公演より後半2日間を最高の音質で捉えたタイトルが限定プレスCDで登場です。
