Rolling Stones / Tokyo Dome 1995 2nd Night Dat Master / 2CD / Non label
Live at Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan 8th March 1995
Play sample :
Like “TOKYO DOME 1995 1ST NIGHT: DAT MASTER”, which will be released to the best audience for the first time in a while, the second day of Tokyo Dome in 1995 has also completely disappeared from the rear tie items. I feel that it was a difficult day even to get a glimpse of how such a performance was unfolding. In the first place, the sound quality of the audience recording used for the items released at that time was not a big deal.
The taper that will appear there is the taper that provided valuable sound sources such as the first day of Tokyo Dome, which was released at the same time this time, or the famous board “TOKYO DOME 1995 5TH NIGHT: DAT MASTER” which is now on sale. The sound quality is also really wonderful, and the totaly balance of the recording state is just like going between the first day and the fifth day. Therefore, Charlie’s drums are not as balanced as the former, but the overall sound image is closer than the latter.
Therefore, although it is a taper with high basic quality, let’s assert that this sound source is recorded in the most audible state. Actually, this is an audience recording that was done in the D block of the arena unlike the first day, but it is interesting because it was finished in the most balanced state as a result.
The acoustic corner was introduced on the first day, but the fact that “Love In Vain” was finally unveiled as a result of the Tokyo session on that day was a big topic among enthusiasts at that time. Not only was it the first appearance on the tour, but it was an acoustic version recorded in the previous session, so it’s hard. Naturally, the atmosphere was completely different from the live arrangements of 1969 and 1978, but I was very impressed by the acoustic performance that was different from the studio version.
The following “Dead Flowers” was an acoustic performance that had already been performed in Miami, but it is a perfect selection from the previous song, and if you are a maniac who was there, there is no doubt. You must have been crazy.
With this surprise, “Love In Vain” became a mandatory member of the bonus track for the rear tie items performed in Japan in 1995, and of course, items that fully recorded the entire live performance were also produced, but they can be dismissed lightly. The quality of this audience recording is outstanding. Moreover, when it came to the acco part, the sound quality became even better and it became easier to hear.
Looking back, the set list of the 1995 performance in Japan was more varied in the first half of the tour, and I miss the surprise that “Love In Vain” was spread by enthusiasts’ reviews when the Internet was not yet widespread. .. I think this day was the peak of the first half of the tour, which was full of such changes. After this, the Ako corner will be reduced to one song, and as a result, it will return to the conventional composition, so even more so.
Also, because the first day of Tokyo Dome was successfully completed, it is a point that you can not miss the fact that Mick’s relaxed song that would have been relieved is clear. It’s clear that “Tumbling Dice” was his flash point, and then “Shattered” quickly peaked. The song was also heard in “TOKYO DOME 1995 5TH NIGHT: DAT MASTER”, but he skipped it again on this day.
After that, “I Go Wild” became a wild performance like the song title, and the whole group centered on Mick did not loosen their hands at all. And when the live was nearing the end, he got goosebumps when he screamed “Mott? Motto?” Before starting “It’s Only Rock’n Roll”. Speaking of Stones, I have the impression that they are strong in recording, but with regard to the 1995 Tokyo Dome, I feel that this performance and the fifth day before are more relaxed and high-tensioned than on March 12. Will be.
On the second day of the Tokyo Dome, the dynamic appearance of the Stones centered on Mick was not conveyed by the sound quality of the rear tie items. However, listening to this superb sound source will remind you that the whole day, which tends to be focused only on “Love In Vain”, was very wonderful. He did it again this time!
