Is the emergence of a new sound source was held in 1999 from “NO SECURITY” tour. Tour Stones was terminated once the “BRIDGES TO BABYLON” tour in two years ago went to ’99 buzz from the fact that not only was held at the concept unlike until then, it was around the United States in the arena-only I call. It is the thing which the item was recorded the tour was also a large number of release at the time, performances in mid-February has become a state in which the item was missing To whole ton of it until now surprisingly. After the second day familiar Anaheim I had become a missing link of this tour in that sound board recording.
Milwaukee recorded performances of February 19 this time from such a time. The audience recording is what has emerged more recently, but the goodness of its freshness and clearness is outstanding. Which has been wrapped in a hole echo I had many audience recording from that it was arena limited Speaking of “NO SECURITY” tour, but it is in a state where a sound source of this time was also wrapped in a hall echo still. Therefore, it would not be a state in on so much for the sound image. But realism that spread a rich became the advent of high-quality sound that will be beautifully reproduced first live appearance from the tour is in a singular position among the preeminent live history, Stones in recent years.
It is a place It seems tour announced a concept special “Memory Motel” is that had been played in handling a regular in this tour, but taste a little bit different play and tour other atmosphere Gentle of its performance. It will be to wind up being entranced by intro that emerges from among the cheers rise, in which Mick started to sing from there. Became the repertoire of the highlights in this tour more than that “Some Girls” is a play about feel the destructive power as well as the other day, but a tour of the other first time playing tight “Paint It Black” is or would not be of feel it’s a fresh playing kit for those who have a taste different clearly, I was used to listening to the tour of Europe recently. It is the events of 15 years ago is no longer even in this tour I thought it was just ‘s recently.
Sound quality I would muffled unfortunately Turning to the B stage, but only Stones that have been mastering the B-stage tour from ’97, playing to begin selection of music this tour unique from “Route 66” is great none This also I show can. Has been nominated as a request song several times on tour this year, “Just My Imagination” Above all though, It will not Flip not played eventually. And I think I go down a little such Ryuin also if you listen to the version of the ’99 first appearance this time. And limited release in the press CD is of course obvious new sound source that is excavated from the time when the sound source is not released after all, Stones fans around the world paid attention. Please enjoy carefully the new sound source after a long time from the “NO SECURITY” tour!

 1999年に行われた「NO SECURITY」ツアーから新たな音源の登場です。前の二年で「BRIDGES TO BABYLON」ツアーを一旦終わらせたストーンズが99年に行ったツアーはそれまでと違ったコンセプトで行われただけでなく、アリーナ・オンリーでアメリカを回ったことから話題を呼びました。そのツアーを収録したアイテムも当時多数リリースされたものですが、意外にも2月中旬の公演は現在に至るまでアイテムがごっそりと抜け落ちた状態となっています。あのサウンドボード録音でおなじみアナハイム二日目の後がこのツアーのミッシング・リンクとなっていたのです。
 そんな時期から今回は2月19日のミルウォーキー公演を収録。そのオーディエンス録音は最近になって登場したものですが、そのクリアネスや鮮度の良さは抜群。「NO SECURITY」ツアーと言えばアリーナ限定だったことからオーディエンス録音はホール・エコーに包まれたものが多かったのですが、今回の音源もやはりホール・エコーに包まれた状態です。よって音像に関してはそれほどオンな状態とは言えないでしょう。しかし豊かで広がりのある臨場感は抜群、ストーンズ近年におけるライブ史の中でも特異な位置にあるツアーから初登場のライブを見事に再現してくれる優良音源の登場となりました。
 このツアーにおいて「Memory Motel」はレギュラーな扱いで演奏されていたのがスペシャルなコンセプトを打ち出したツアーらしいところですが、その演奏のジェントルな雰囲気は他のツアーの演奏とは一味違う味わいがあります。盛り上がる歓声の中から浮かび上がるイントロ、そこから歌い始めるミックにはうっとりさせられてしまうことでしょう。それ以上にこのツアーにおける目玉のレパートリーとなった「Some Girls」は他の日と同様に破壊力を感じさせるほどの演奏ですが、「Paint It Black」のタイトな演奏ぶりも他のツアーとははっきりと違った味わいがあり、ここ最近のヨーロッパツアーを聴きなれた方にもきっと新鮮な演奏だと感じられるのではないでしょうか。最近だとばかり思っていたこのツアーですらもはや15年前の出来事です。
 Bステージに移ると残念ながら音質がこもってしまうのですが、97年からのツアーでBステージを使いこなしてきたストーンズだけに、これまた本ツアーならではの選曲「Route 66」から始める演奏はどれも素晴らしい出来を示しています。中でも「Just My Imagination」は今年のツアーで何度かリクエスト曲として候補に挙げられてきたものの、結局は演奏されずじまい。そんな溜飲も今回初登場の99年バージョンを聴けば少しは下がるかと思います。そして何しろ音源がリリースされない時期からの発掘です、世界中のストーンズ・ファンが注目する新音源は当然プレスCDでの限定リリースが当たり前。「NO SECURITY」ツアーから久々の新音源をじっくりとお楽しみください!
