Introducing the tape “Mike Millard Tape” recorded by Mike Millard, a taper familiar to fans with the outstanding technology of audience recording. Several sound sources based on Mike Millard tape have been released from the same label, but if you look closely, there are two types, “Brushed Mike Millard Tape” and “Legendary Mike Millard Tape”. Did you notice that there is? Not all Mike Millard tapes have perfect sound quality, and some of them have room for improvement, and the “Brushed” series has been significantly improved. Originally, it is almost perfect and there is not much room for improvement, and the “Legendary” series is the one that keeps the minimum such as light editing between songs.
This time, Keith Richards from the “Legendary” series. It was a live performance of his solo album “Main Offender”, and the members are almost the same. Since it is a “Legendary” series, expectations are high for sound quality, but there are some drawbacks, and there are places where the sound image fluctuates, and in order to improve that point, the stereo feeling has been slightly reduced. There are also a few places where the voices of the surrounding audience are worrisome. Except for them, basically the high-quality sound that the Jagi Jagi guitar came out in front. It is a title that you can enjoy Keith’s solo, which is a bit different from Stones.

オーディエンス録音の卓越した技術でファンにはお馴染みのテーパー、マイク・ミラード氏により録音されたテープ『マイク・ミラード・テープ』登場です。同レーベルからマイク・ミラード・テープをマスターにした音源が複数リリースされておりますが、よく見ると『ブラッシュド・マイク・ミラード・テープ』と『レジェンダリー・マイク・ミラード・テープ』の二種類があることにお気付きでしょうか。マイク・ミラード・テープも全てが完璧な音質なわけではなく、中にはかなり手を加えて改良の余地があるものもあり、大幅に手を加えて改良されたものが『ブラッシュド』シリーズ。元々完璧に近く改良の余地があまり無く、曲間等の軽い編集など最低限にとどめてあるものが『レジェンダリー』シリーズとなります。
今回は『レジェンダリー』シリーズからキース・リチャーズの登場です。ソロ・アルバム『メイン・オフェンダー』期のライヴで、メンバーもほぼ同じです。『レジェンダリー』シリーズということで音質に期待が集まるところですがやや難点もあり、音像が揺れる箇所がありその点の改善のためステレオ感を少し減らす編集を施してあります。あとは周りのオーディエンスの声が気になる箇所も少しあります。それら除けば基本的にはジャギジャギ・ギターが前に出た高音質。ストーンズとは一味違うキースのソロが楽しめるタイトルです。
