Rogers Arena, Vancouver, BC, Canada 15th September 2022
Play sample :
“This Is Not A Drill” has become a large-scale world tour with additional dates announced one after another. Two of the latest live albums will be released simultaneously. It is the appearance of two series full of special feeling different from the past.
This work is the second of such two consecutive releases. It is a transcendental audience recording of “September 15, 2022 Vancouver Performance”. The biggest point of this work is its sound. It is an ultra-high-quality sound that (significantly) updates the highest sound quality so far, and it is definitely the “tour No. 1” at the present time. dimension. It is a super live album that should be talked about in the dimension of “Possibly Roger Waters’ career best !?” instead of “Tour No.1 or not”.
“The meter suddenly went up, but when I compared my head, it started from the beginning.” First of all, the position of the show. At our shop, we have been reporting on live albums since the start of “This Is Not A Drill”, and this is the fourth work. This time it is also a simultaneous release with “DENVER 2022: ROGER’S 79TH BIRTHDAY (Amity 698)”, so let’s review the whole tour first.

This is the outline of “This Is Not A Drill” that has been published to date. Next year’s European legs are being added all the time, and there is still the possibility of more. Under such circumstances, the Vancouver performance of this work was the 30th performance of the North American leg.
“Well, let’s get down to business.”
The sound of this work recorded at such a show is the finest that cannot be ruled out as “super”. I would like to fill the manuscript by repeating “extremely terribly terribly terribly terribly terribly terribly terribly terribly …” a thousand times. Already, super high sound quality from the narration announcing the start of the performance. While thinking “Isn’t it the original sound source that is being played at the venue?” And the thunder SE roars, but this is also super-sounding. It transcends “just like a sound board” and “just like an official” and opens the window as if it were a real thunderclap.
The narration and sound effects alone unintentionally took up a lot of characters, but when the performance actually started… it was even more amazing. It’s often said that people start laughing when they’re hit too hard, and I was right. Whether you play it through speakers or listen with headphones, the ultra sound you’ve never experienced will make you laugh. Just to be sure, I repeat, this work is “audience recording”. Even though it was supposed to be, they were surprised, saying, “How could our speakers reproduce such a good sound?” Our shop handles both sound boards and official name board sound responsive sound quality CDs, but I have never met such a great sound.
Record-breaking extreme weather, the invasion of Ukraine, and the assassination of the former prime minister… 2022 was full of big events, and I didn’t think anything would surprise me. However, this work overturned such conviction in one shot. Moreover, just by simply saying “sound is good”. Think back to the best-sounding piece of music ever experienced. If you experience it again, will you be so shocked that you can’t help but laugh? The sound of this work stands on such a horizon.
“This Is Not A Drill” is no longer a dimension. Just because the latest tour of Roger Waters happened to be the theme, it is the birth of a shocking work that should be talked about at the level of “new sound experience”. One that I would like to tell all music fans, “This kind of sound is now possible with audience recording in 2022!” Please take a look and experience it.
★ Superb audience recording of “September 15, 2022 Vancouver Performance”. It is an ultra-high-quality sound that (significantly) updates the highest sound quality so far, and it is definitely the “tour No. 1” at the present time. dimension. It is a super live album that should be talked about in the dimension of “Possibly Roger Waters’ career best !?” Instead of “tour No. 1 or not”.
★★This is amazing.
