The first day of 3 Days of Philadelphia performance followed by the MSG performance of New York in 2010, November 6, the November 8 live was completely recorded with super high sound quality audience recording. A great exception recording version that makes me think that the perfection of sound is the best among the titles of LEM labels released earlier. It is a perfect matrix with two advanced sound sources recorded at the venue with advanced takeic nicks, and this time also includes the best version boasting the best quality of the tour. The recording of Philadelphia this time was recorded with a sound image preeminent in stability at a position with a moderate distance from the stage with an advanced microphone, the sound stability and the certainty of sound localization are outstanding, throughout It is recorded with easy-to-hear sound. Since there is no sound obstruction or unbalanced balance, you can enjoy the full picture of the show with a very smart and high standard of sound quality. As you can see in Disc 2’s In The Flesh etc, drum sounds are recorded very loud, so you can enjoy a wholesome sound image overall. If you play Run Like Hell on a trial it is a shot, but it seems that there was never a tremendous rhythmic tone here. In the meaning of sound appreciation and recording, this sound source which was captured tightly until it is cool can be said to be exactly ideal. Audience noise between songs is also a long distance, and there is no loud audience nearby, so you can enjoy live with confidence. This is also featured from the opening announcement “Good Evening Ladies & Gentlemen. Welcome to the Roger Waters show”. This is done 2 minutes before Outside The Wall Intro, “It is OK (!) To take pictures (!), But please refrain from flash as it will affect the production”. As the performance has already passed through a long tour, there is no big difference in content, but fans warrant that the value added to the collection is certainly the best content. As various videos are already circulating in other performance titles, it seems that fans will hear it saying “There is such a mechanism in here”, but while listening to this best recording, the venue’s It is also fun to imagine what is going on at the stage with a roar. A document of Philadelphia on the first day documented with the highest sound quality, one piece indispensable for a fan is limited release from the LEM label.

“Philly Wall Pt.1” which included Philadelphia performances. “In Perfect Isolation” is a mix of sound sources recorded using high-end equipment, the sound source that recorded the whole story with the microphone “Schoeps MK 4” used as one of them is “Philly Wall Pt.1” It is used. A mild sound image reminiscent of a heavy bass and analog recording is very wonderful. Just compared with other recordings, the volume of various SEs is large and the lead vocal is unclear at the moment, so the recording person may have been in the position close to the sub-speaker installed in various parts of the place for the surround . However, as it is a very good recording, it is a title I would like to stock with “In Perfect Isolation”.

★ In 2010, only 20 sets were released, and the name sound source title that gained popularity from fans and media has been re-released for the first time in 8 years.

2010年、11月6日のニューヨークのMSG公演に続いて行われたフィラデルフィア公演3デイズの初日、11月8日のライブを超高音質オーディエンス録音で完全収録。先にリリースされたLEMレーベルのタイトルの中でも音の完成度では最も優れたものではないかと思わせる大絶品録音版。同会場で録音された2種の音源を高度なテイクニックで完璧にマトリックスしたもので、今回もまたツアー屈指の品質を誇る最良のヴァージョンを収録しています。今回のフィラデルフィア録音は、高度なマイクでステージから適度な距離を置いたポジションで安定感抜群の音像で録り切ったもので、音の安定感や定位の確かさは抜群で、全体を通して非常に聴きやすいサウンドで収録されています。音の篭りやバランスの偏りが全く無いので、非常にスマートかつ高水準な音質で、ショウの全貌を楽しむことができます。ディスク2のIn The Flesh等で判る通り、ドラムサウンドが非常にラウドに録音されているので全体的にメリハリの効いた音像が楽しめます。試しにRun Like Hellを再生すれば一発ですが、ここまで凄いリズムの音色はかつて無かったと思われます。音の鑑賞・記録と言った意味ではクールなまでにしっかりと捉えた本音源はまさに理想的と言っても良いでしょう。曲間のオーディエンスノイズも遠目で、近くにやかましい観客もいないので、安心してライブを堪能することができます。本盤はオープニングの「Good Evening Ladies & Gentlemen. Welcome to the Roger Waters show」というアナウンスから収録されているのも特徴です。これはOutside The Wall Introの2分前に行われたもので、「写真を撮るのは構わない(!)のですが、フラッシュは演出に影響が出るので控えて下さい」といった内容です。演奏は、既に長いツアーを経ているため、内容に大きな差はありませんが、ファンはコレクションに加える価値は絶対にある最高の内容であることは保証します。既に他公演タイトルで各種の映像も出回っているので、「ここでこういう仕掛けがある」というのはファンは判ったうえで聴かれることになると思いますが、この最高の録音を聴きながら、会場のどよめきと共にステージで行われていることを想像するのも一興と言えるでしょう。フィラデルフィア公演初日を最高音質でドキュメントした、ファン必携の一枚がLEMレーベルから限定リリース決定です。

★beatleg誌 vol.127(2011年2月号)のレビュー要約です。ご参考まで。

Philadelphia公演を収録した『Philly Wall Pt.1』。『In Perfect Isolation』はハイエンドな機材を使用して録音された音源をミックスしたものだが、その一つとして使用されたマイク「Schoeps MK4」で全編を録音した音源が『Philly Wall Pt.1』に使用されている。重厚な低音とアナログ録音を想起させるマイルドな音像がとても素晴らしい。ただ他の録音と比較してみると、各種SEの音量が大きく、またリードボーカルが今一つ不明瞭なので、録音者はサラウンド用に場内各所に設置されたサブスピーカーに近い位置にいたのかもしれない。とはいえ、非常に優秀なレコーディングなので、『In Perfect Isolation』とともに揃えておきたいタイトルではある。

★2010年に限定20セットがリリースされ、ファン・メディアから好評を博した名音源タイトルが8年ぶりに再リリース決定です。
