came! Finally, the best audience & limited press CD release from Paul’s latest tour! Until now, the fastest release of very high quality audience recordings has continued from the UXBRIDGE label, but this time it was just that it was suitable for the glasses of the press CD release for the first time, so it is a powerful sound pressure & sound image. I think the compatibility between the taper position that made the recording and the sound output at the venue was good right after the live started. The highest quality that the press CD release is confirmed only by that. “Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five”, which is an ensemble with a slight restraint, is finally a sound board-like dense sound image.
Among the wonderful recording conditions, it is noteworthy that the bass line played by Paul is captured with clear and plump sound quality. If it is a 2022 stage record, it is natural that the audience recording with a high average score will be rumbling. Under such circumstances, it seems that there are not so many sound sources that capture the sound of the bass he plays with a good feeling. Listening to the bouncy bassline in songs like “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “Got to Get You into My Life”, or the encore “Birthday”, I really feel like this person is active all his life. You will be impressed that it is full. However, in “Getting Better”, I love the smiley scene where Paul starts singing like flying.

From the latest album “McCARTNEY III” at the moment, “Women And Wives” was added to the repertoire at the beginning of the tour, but it was originally a song that could not be said to look live, and it was already cold to new songs. Due to the reaction of the American audience (bitter smile), I was demoted to the sound check repertoire. It was
However, in Boston on June 8th, which will be released this time, “Jet” will appear for the first time as this year’s repertoire from the second day performance at Fenway Park. Moreover, the performance in the middle of the live, which is next to “Fuh You”, is fresh and effective, not in the position of the early stage of the live as in the past. Because in the early stages, Paul’s throat had to sing before the engine was fully opened, so depending on the day, it seemed to be difficult for Paul to sing.
Because it was shown in the middle of the set this time, he also sang nicely. But that’s not all, thanks to the addition of the horn corps that accompanied us on the tour after 2018, it’s a live version reminiscent of the Wings of 1976, so you can’t miss it. .. It’s a wonderful stage performance, and I can’t help but hope that you will continue to play.

And I’m glad that Paul is in great shape throughout the live, and when he finishes “Dance Tonight”, he talks to Ave on drums, which is a rare scene in recent years. The most surprising thing is “Maybe I’m Amazed”. It’s a repertoire that has become a “barrier to the first half of the live” for Paul for many years, not recently, but it’s been more than a month since the tour started, so it’s a singing that hasn’t been seen recently. I can’t help but be surprised at the person, that is, the voice.
Paul finally turned 80 at the time of writing this, of course there are scenes that seem to be painful depending on the song. Even so, the condition is overwhelmingly good from the whole live, and it is obvious if you compare it with the sound source at the beginning of the tour released from the UXBRIDGE label. This is remarkable in “Maybe I’m ~”, and in the case of Paul, the schedule of two consecutive performances seems to be rather successful.
And you can see that the production of the virtual duet of “I’ve Got a Feeling”, which has become a hot topic in this tour, has become quite familiar. After all, the sound is so good that I’m always impressed by Paul’s attitude toward live performances, which he never forgets his aggressive attitude even when he turns 80 (although he was still 79 at this point). At the time of release, the song order before and after “You Never Give Me Your Money” was different from the actual one due to a mistake when it was released, but of course it was an adjustment. More than a month has passed since the start, and the audience album that captured the full engine opening with excellent sound quality from the tour that has already gained popularity among fans all over the world is finally released on a limited press CD. Not only the recording quality but also the performance content is fulfilling suitable for the latest Paul’s press CD definitive edition, especially the 2022 version “Jet” is a must listen!
