This work, which summarizes the continuation of the 1965 American tour, started from the audience-recorded Metropolitan Stadium performance. The sound quality is ok, but it’s still good enough to hear. What surprises me most is the valuable document that the show started without “Twist And Shout” because he was concerned about John’s voice that had deteriorated in Sam Houston.
Although it showed an American excitement, it wasn’t in a recording state that was covered with screams, which is the secret to hearing this sound source unexpectedly.

Fortunately, John demodulated because the off was set after this. The Hollywood Bowl, which spans two discs, shouts as if nothing had happened. Needless to say, the Hollywood Bowl is a sound source that was officially recorded for official live albums, so the sound quality is the best stereo sound board.
Five years ago, the recording at the Hollywood Bowl was sunny and the official CD was released, but it is a mixture with the basic 1964, and each complete can still be heard only with these items.
In addition, in the recording on August 29, the microphone on the pole side did not work in the first three songs, and his singing “She’s A Woman” almost fell into an instrumental state, so it can definitely be released officially. It is still valuable that even the missing happenings are recorded.

The second piece recorded next is the Cow Palace performance on the final day of the US tour. The first show is a sound board recording, but it is fragmentary based on the sound of the news film. The second show is a piece of performance that is barely audible in the back of the announcer who reports during the performance, and these are for advanced enthusiasts.
Rather, what is important is the sound that was modified for the last recorded Shea Stadium movie. Compared to the original sound board of “SHEAKEN NOT STIR RED”, the lack of presence was compensated for by the cheers of the Hollywood Bowl, and “I Feel Fine” and “Help!” It is easy to see that the recording was re-recorded from scratch, and at the end of the story, “A Hard Day’s Night” was interviewed to hide the rough recording. I would like you to arrange this as a set with “SHEAKEN NOT ~”.

1965年アメリカ・ツアーの続きをまとめた本作はオーディエンス録音のメトロポリタン・スタジアム公演からスタート。音質的にはまあまあですが、それでも十分に聞けるレベル。何より驚かされるのが、サム・ヒューストンで悪化したジョンの声を気遣い、何と「Twist And Shout」抜きでショーがスタートしたという貴重なドキュメント。
それにアメリカらしい盛り上がりを見せつつも絶叫に覆われるような録音状態でなかったことも、この音源が意外なほど聞きこめてしまう秘訣。

幸いにもこの後にオフが設けられていたことからジョンは復調。二枚のディスクにまたがったハリウッド・ボウルでは何事もなかったかのようにシャウトしてくれます。言うまでもないことですが、ハリウッド・ボウルはオフィシャルのライブアルバム向けとして正規に収録された音源ですので音質は最高のステレオ・サウンドボード。
五年前にハリウッド・ボウルでの録音は晴れてオフィシャルCDがリリースされましたが、基本1964年との混成であり、それぞれのコンプリートは未だにこうしたアイテムでしか聞けません。
おまけに8月29日の収録では最初の三曲でポール側のマイクが機能しておらず、彼の歌う「She’s A Woman」ほぼインスト状態に陥ってしまうなど、オフィシャルでは絶対にリリース出来ないハプニングまで収録している点は未だに貴重。

二枚目で次に収録されているのはアメリカ・ツアー最終日のカウ・パレス公演。ファーストショーは一応サウンドボード録音なのですがニュースフィルムの音声が元で断片的なもの。セカンドショーは公演の最中にレポートするアナウンサーのバックで辛うじて聞こえる演奏の断片であり、これらは上級マニア向け。
むしろ重要なのは最後に収録されたシェア・スタジアムの映画用に手が加えられた音声でしょう。「SHEAKEN NOT STIRRED」の大元サウンドボードと聞き比べると、臨場感の希薄だった状態をハリウッド・ボウルの歓声で埋め合わせ、さらには録音状態に問題のあった「I Feel Fine」や「Help!」を一から録り直す、挙句の果てには「A Hard Day’s Night」にインタビューを被せて録音の粗を隠すといった処置が施されていたことがよく解ります。これは是非「SHEAKEN NOT~」とセットで揃えていただきたい。
