Play sample :
An archive series by the highly acclaimed researcher master. As the latest bullet, the highest peak version of the symbolic sound board of “GHOST IN THE MACHINE Tour” is finally released.
The engraving on this work is “July 31, 1982 Gateshead International Stadium Performance”. This is a stereo soundboard recording when he appeared as a big bird in “ROCK ON THE TYNE FESTIVAL”. Speaking of “GHOST IN THE MACHINE Tour”, it is famous as a time when recording is scarce, and even at our shop, the rooftop audience recording “HERE IN NEW HAVEN 1982 (Wardour-106)” was barely known. First, let’s unravel the schedule at that time.

This is a panoramic view of the activities related to “GHOST IN THE MACHINE”. The appearance of “TYNE FESTIVAL” in this work was the final performance of the final edition “UK # 2”. I’m sure some of you are coming from the venue and the date, but this show has also been known as the official video “LIVE GHOST IN THE MACHINE”. Literally, it is a symbolic performance that represents “GHOST IN THE MACHINE Tour”.
This work recorded at such a show is exactly the best sound board with “super”. At our shop, under the supervision of THE POLICE researchers from overseas, various standard sound boards are permanently preserved with the highest quality in history, but this work is the “GHOST IN THE MACHINE Tour” version. In fact, the quality of this work is the highest ever. The official video is also included as a bonus, but it’s obvious if you compare it. It seems to be a master who is also called “enhanced mix” among core enthusiasts, and while the performance and basic recording are the same as the official video work, the stereo feeling and the separate feeling are remarkably excellent. Far from being “completely official”, it is a supreme live album that literally “exceeds officially”.
The ultimate sound is a gorgeous full show of “GHOST IN THE MACHINE Tour” that boldly introduced brass. As mentioned above, the finest audience “HERE IN NEW HAVEN 1982” reigns as a big staple in our shop, so let’s organize the set while comparing.
● Zenyatta Mondatta (5 songs)
・ When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What’s Still Around / De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da / Shadows In The Rain / Driven To Tears (★) / Don’t Stand So Close To Me
● Ghost in the Machine (6 songs)
・ Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic ／ Spirits in the Material World ／ Hungry For You ／ Demolition Man ／ One World (Not Three) ／ Invisible Sun (*)
● Others (7 songs + α)
Outlandos d’Amour: Roxanne / So Lonely
・ Reggatta de Blanc: Message in a Bottle / The Bed’s Too Big Without You / Walking On the Moon / Bring On The Night
・ Others: Can’t Stand Losin’You (incl. Reggatta de Blanc / Be My Girl)
* Note: The “★” mark is a song that could not be heard on the press masterpiece “HERE IN NEW HAVEN 1982”. The “*” mark is a co-starring song with Bono.
…… And it looks like this. “Driven To Tears” that I couldn’t hear in “HERE IN NEW HAVEN 1982” is also delicious, but it’s wonderful that there are no songs that have fallen and it’s purely added. And the repertoire is full of songs that could not be heard on the official live album “LIVE!”. “LIVE!” Was a coupling of “REGGATTA DE BLANC Tour” and “SYNCHRONICITY Tour”, so this work fills the gap. “When The World Is Running Down,” “Shadows In The Rain,” “Hungry For You,” and “One World (Not Three),” which is due to the 80’s, etc. You can enjoy plenty of precious songs.
And, “Invisible Sun” is the only thing that is meant for this work. In this song, U2’s Bono, who was the 2nd building of “TYNE FESTIVAL”, also participated. I’m co-starring in the chorus.
The “GHOST IN THE MACHINE Tour” was full of unique charm with the introduction of the horn. It is the highest peak update board of the symbolic sound board. A superb sound board that approaches with a vivid stereo feeling than the official video work. Enjoy the “Official Beyond” sound anytime, forever with the Press 2CD, which is permanently engraved!
★ Stereo soundboard recording of “July 31, 1982 ROCK ON THE TYNE FESTIVAL performance”. The show that became the official video “LIVE GHOST IN THE MACHINE”, the highest peak update master supervised by overseas THE POLICE researchers.
