Live at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY, USA 22nd June 1975
Play sample :
Rolling Stones Madison Square Garden in 1975, which was held for six consecutive nights. Among them, the performance on June 22nd has long been famous as the day Eric Clapton jumped in. There are two types of audience recordings that capture the pattern, but “recorder 2” appeared more than ten years ago. It was recorded by a master, Joe Maloney, and was a famous sound source that produced many items because of his clear monaural clearness. However, a few years ago, a new version appeared that Krw_co, familiar to maniacs, borrowed the master tape directly from Maloney and transferred it to digital using the latest technology.
As I mentioned at the beginning, the Maloney sound source appeared more than ten years ago. However, the upper feeling of the new version carefully transferred from the master using the latest technology is wonderful. Compared to the version ten years ago, the freshness and transparency of the sound has increased clearly, as if the thin skin that was clinging to it at the end was finally removed. It’s really refreshing, yet natural and clear. Past items have been equalized to a greater or lesser degree, and some were even finished with a bass sound. However, as a result of Krw_co drawing out the original characteristics of the sound source to the limit, it was reborn as a splendid upper version.
This is how the new version appeared, but in the new edition released this time, the sound quality has been slightly corrected.
When I listened to it again, I found that the crispness of the high frequencies, which seemed to be excessive, was reduced to the extent that it was not overdone (the original natural and improved freshness was kept as it was).
With the release of the 1st Edition, fine adjustments were made to the rough spots peculiar to vintage audiences, such as insane pitch adjustments and sound fluctuations, just like last time.
In addition, for some cuts that occurred during the performance (such as the reprise part of “You Gotta Move”), “recorder 1” was readjusted (high frequency noise removal) and recompensated. 1st Edition However, it is compensated without any discomfort, but let’s make sure to compensate further.
As for the weak cut that occurred at the end of “Midnight Rambler”, I finished it in a state where I didn’t notice it at all with the same crossfade processing as last time.
Although it is a night that tends to attract attention to Clapton jumping in, this day is the first day of the MSG performance that took place for six consecutive nights, and it is also the stage where the dilemma of the Stones, who is enthusiastic in the big city, was fully demonstrated. . Among them, “All Down The Line” captures the sound of Keith’s guitar with a considerably on-balance, and it is 1975 that Mick screams while his cutting is clear. In this way, it is a natural sight for this tour to have a hyper performance centered on Mick at the beginning of the show, but on this day even a song like “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” was quite a surprise. It seems that the stage at MSG is where you can hear the flying performance.
Also on this day, Mick’s voice did not come out at the beginning of “Brown Sugar”, or the intro of “It’s Only Rock’n Roll” played by Keith rang with a fluent sound, on the first day of a continuous performance. The typical PA disorder is also captured, so even when Clapton starts playing the lead in the main encore “Sympathy For The Devil”, the sound is surprisingly fluent. Even so, it’s wonderful to hear the slow-handed full-throttle phrase from the 5-minute mark of the performance.
However, “Sympathy ~” on this day itself was tormented by the example PA trouble, and the irregular formation that Keith turned to the base to play Clapton backfired, and the performance started in a messy tone. Thank you for your patronage now. It can be said that Joe Maloney recorded an example that the band would be disturbed like this when Keith’s rhythm guitar, which is essential for the Stones sound, is gone.
Such a disturbance is also typical of 1975, and it is an excellent Odins album where you can enjoy the appearance of the Stones, who are still pushing wildly. Anyway, natural and clear listening comfort is outstanding. And as Maloney himself testifies, Clapton appearance of hyper-famous ant like “Star Star” of this day is also a new definitive edition of the legendary day of ant!
