1990, under the concept of “past of seal with a book tour masterpieces”, was held in a luxurious set by covering the Best of the Best basis selection of music career “THE SOUND + VISION TOUR” is, In Japan, it was held at the Tokyo Dome on May 15th and 16th. Day 2 performances in fan is television broadcast after did those of the familiar, the board has full inclusion across the performances May 15 the first day to one hour 36 minutes by the finest level of audience recording. Using the original master tape that is not been around at all even between traders, of course, it is its outstanding “TOUR 1990” another sound source and (Bow). The 1990 Tokyo Dome record has been recorded in the very best level high-quality, to a great extent whether the recording position was good, not only not felt any is booming sound, and is recorded in direct and loud surprisingly musical tone woven, and finished with ultra-high-quality title without mania startle mistake around the world. Bowie vocals of course, drum and bass have been recorded in a powerful sound, sense of separation is also excellent, perhaps, but I think that was recorded in the arena front, a strong musical tone that does not lose a large cheer, and superb in until a poignant We are fully caught. Cut of the tape change is only intro of Let’s Dance, deficit is just. On this day, the first part is a set of normal, why in the second part of across the break, has been carried out to change suddenly the set, really it shows in the normal of the main set end Heroes and that if you quit, you can listen to the live of unusual content. Bowie, treble melody of Suffragette City but have been fake, and just listening to the sound, and let me hear the live of powerful itself unchanged from the usual. It means that no encore, I think it happened fan than was very surprised at the venue. A piece of fan must-have that complete recording of the year the Tokyo performances first day in the high-quality recording 1990 is the appearance.

★ It is a review summary of beatleg magazine vol.109 (August 2009 issue). In case you’re wondering.

Title that was recorded from Bowie funeral tour and also called the Tin Machine enrolled in the only world solo tour. Past catalog with bonus tracks containing in quick succession from 1990 of Rykodisc is also serving as a propaganda that was released, it is the first day from the quotient of the Japan tour of the only two days that have been made in the Sound & Vision series launch tour 5 almost complete recording of the Tokyo Dome performance of the month 15th. Admirably while out cold and gone was Bowie explicit the poor physical condition that minus the, still meaning valuable record that take listening to the pattern that do a live stage. The next day of the show has also been a television broadcast, which also is something that poor health is suggests, to listen to Bowie does not go out out of the gate of the voices in this work is the day before the first day performance than ever to it. For venue it was played on the big sound also not so good Tokyo Dome, but was not heard is so much severe criticism is in the critics of the time, so show that that the sequel basis was said about thought also canceled, how You can see things. That is one of the manifestations of aspects you have come to the place where it would have finished the show with no encore, but through is to ask try and still feel as well as there is a painful things in singing voice. And this title is like a source of exposure to the first time of day that is different from the sound source, which has been hear in the tape or the like up to now has become the original, high-quality sound source very hear plainly the sound of clear and the stage is used It surprised to the point to have. It’s a sound and the audience recording source and the great cheer was recorded in good condition of the instrument, but it is something that can be finished to listen to aspects of really listening easy stage. Since the song selection was of course become a best album par tour perfect for the release to enjoy the 1990 tour that was heard in a long time.

1990年、 “過去の名曲を本ツアーを持って封印する”というコンセプトのもと、キャリアを網羅したベスト・オブ・ベスト的選曲による豪華なセットで行われた「THE SOUND + VISION TOUR」は、日本では5月15日と16日に東京ドームで行われました。2日目公演は後にテレビ放送されファンにはお馴染みのものでしたが、本盤は初日5月15日公演を極上レベルのオーディエンス録音で1時間36分に渡って完全収録しています。トレーダー間でも一切出回っていないオリジナル・マスター・テープを使用、勿論、既発「TOUR 1990」(Bow)とは別音源です。1990年の東京ドーム録音としては上々レベルの高音質で収録されており、余程録音ポジションが良かったのか、音のこもりが一切感じられないばかりか、楽音が驚くほどダイレクトかつラウドに収録されており、世界中のマニア驚愕間違いなしの超優良タイトルに仕上がっています。ボウイのボーカルは勿論、ドラムとベースがパワフルな音で録音されており、分離感も抜群、おそらくアリーナ前方で録音されたと思いますが、大歓声に負けない力強い楽音を、感動的なまでに見事に捉え切っています。テープチェンジのカットはLet’s Danceのイントロのみで、欠損は僅かです。この日は、第一部は通常通りのセットですが、休憩を挟んでの第二部でなぜか、セットを急遽変更して行われており、通常のメインセットのエンドのHeroesで本当にショウが終了してしまうという、珍しい内容のライブを聴くことができます。ボウイは、Suffragette Cityの高音域メロディはフェイクしてますが、音を聴いているだけでは、いつもと変わらぬパワフルそのもののライブを聴かせてくれます。アンコールなしということで、会場に居合わせたファンは非常に驚いたのではないでしょうか。1990年東京公演初日を高品質な録音で完全収録したファン必携の一枚が登場です。

★beatleg誌　vol.109（2009年8月号）のレビュー要約です。ご参考まで。

ボウイ葬式ツアーとも称されたティン・マシーン在籍中唯一のワールドソロツアーから収録されたタイトル。1990年のライコディスクから立て続けにボーナストラック入りで過去カタログがリリースされたことの宣伝を兼ねた、サウンド＆ビジョンシリーズ発売記念ツアーで行われた二日間だけの来日公演のショウから初日である5月15日の東京ドーム公演をほぼ完全収録。見事に風邪をひいてしまったボウイが体調の悪さを露骨に出しながら、それでもライブステージをこなす模様が聴いて取れるある意味貴重な記録。翌日のショウはテレビ放送もされており、これもまた調子の悪さが伺えるものだが、それにも増して前日の初日公演である本作では初っ端から声の出ないボウイを聴ける。会場が大きく音もそれほど良くない東京ドームでの演奏だったため、当時の評論の中ではそれほどの酷評が聞かれなかったが、後日談的にはキャンセルも考えたほどと言われたショウなので、どれほどのものか確認できる。その様相の表れのひとつにはアンコールなしでショウを終えてしまうところにも出ているが、通して聞いてみるとやはり歌声に辛いモノがあるようにも感じる。そして本タイトルは今までテープ等で聞けていた音源とは異なる初めて陽の目を浴びるソースが元となっているようで、非常にクリアー且つステージの音がはっきりと聞こえる高音質の音源が用いられている点に驚く。楽器の音と大歓声とが上手い具合に録音されたオーディエンス録音ソースなのだが、実に聴きやすくステージの様相に耳を澄ませられるものだ。選曲はもちろんベスト盤並みとなったツアーなので久々に聴いた1990年のツアーを満喫するにはもってこいのリリース。
