A super-luxury soundboard album leaked by people concerned is reprinted. Included in this work is “April 13, 2003 + 14, 19 Chicago performance”. Re-digitalization of the masterpieces “FIRST VIC NIGHT”, “2ND NIGHT AT VIC” and “VIC THEATER 2003” from the three performances of “LOST CITIES TOUR 2003” from the original master. It is a 6-disc set compiled at once.

[Unusually high quality of spills by parties] The appearance of this recording was nothing but a shock. At the time, it was a master that was introduced by the people involved in the shop’s own route, and was a secret item that neither the Internet nor core collectors knew. Of course, it’s not just a rare item, but the impact is because the quality is transcendental. Even though it is a sound board, it is a pinch, but this work is definitely the top. If you say, it’s an “official grade”, but it’s not enough to convey the awesomeness of this work. It is a completely unprocessed desk-mounted sound board that can be heard only by the people involved, and the feeling of unity with Tom Petty and the sense of intrusion into the brain of the performance, which cannot be tasted at the official stage, are amazing. That is the kind of music experience that makes your head feel like PA. The singing voice is a breathing level, the guitar is brilliant with the rubbing nuances of the strings, and the harp has a breathing sensation. Everything sounds like it’s ringing in your brain.
Moreover, such a leaked master for 3 performances. At that time, they appeared in three titles with one performance each, but each one gave a shock to maniacs / collectors all over the world. This work is a re-digitization of 3 such shocking performances. Then, let’s check what position these three performances are in the 2003 live schedule.

・ April 13-19: North America # 1 (5 performances) ← ★ here ★
・ June 26-July 13: North America # 2 (10 performances)
・ August 9-29: North America # 3 (13 performances)

Above, 28 performances. Here is a panoramic view of the “Lost Cities Tour” 14 years ago. The first five performances were specifically titled “CHICAGO RESIDENCY 2003” and were five consecutive performances at the traditional Vic Theater venue. In this work, the first day, the second day, and the fifth day (the last day) are all drawn with two discs.

[Too special special rare concert] However, no matter how a super / superb sound board is, listening to three similar shows at the same time will be a pain to the stomach. However, in this work, one performance and one performance are totally different. Although Tom changes the set every night, the change of this work is bold because there are 5 performances at the same venue. Of course, there are only 19 songs that are common for 3 days, and more than 25 daily songs. It has a total of 44 songs and 86 tracks.
Moreover, not only the volume but also the content is special. There are a few standard songs such as “Refugee”, “I Won’t Back Down”, “Running Down A Dream”, but there aren’t even “American Girl” and “Free Fallin ‘”. It is being played, and its rarity is perfect. For example, “I’m A King Bee” was the first performance in 25 years, and “My Sweet Baby’s Arms”, “Wake Up Time”, “Black Leather Woman” and “Peggy Sue” were shown only in these 5 Chicago performances. The ultimate rare performance that is said to have been “one time only” for “Gonna Leave You”, “My New Guitar” and “Next Time You See Memphis”. You can enjoy such an overly delicious set with a super / superb sound board.
The direct sound of the table transcends even officials, the set is too rare, and the volume is 44 songs. It is a live album that is super-special and too special in every sense. A soundboard album that transcends the people involved, making the quality perfect for those who listen to Tom for the first time. Please enjoy yourself at this opportunity.
関係者流出の超・極上サウンドボード・アルバムが復刻です。本作に収められているのは「2003年４月13日+14日19日シカゴ公演」。“LOST CITIES TOUR 2003”の３公演から生まれた大名盤『FIRST VIC NIGHT』『2ND NIGHT AT VIC』『VIC THEATRE 2003』をオリジナル・マスターから再デジタル化。一気にコンパイルした６枚組です。

【関係者流出の異常なハイクオリティ】
この録音の登場は、衝撃以外の何物でもありませんでした。当時、当店独自のルートで関係者からもたらされたマスターで、ネットもコアなコレクターも一切知らなかった秘蔵品。もちろん、単なるレア物などではなく、クオリティが超絶だからこその衝撃。サウンドボードとは言ってもピンキリですが、本作は間違いなく頂点。言ってしまえば「オフィシャル級」なのですが、それだけでは本作の凄味は伝えきれない。関係者だけが耳にできる完全未加工の卓直結サウンドボードであり、オフィシャルでは到底味わえないトム・ペティとの一体感、演奏の脳内侵入感が凄絶。それこそ、自分の頭がＰＡそのものになったような音楽体験ができる。歌声は吐息レベルですし、ギターは弦のこすれるニュアンス、ハープは吹き込まれる呼吸感まで鮮やか。すべてが脳内で鳴っているようなサウンドなのです。
しかも、そんな関係者流出マスターが３公演分も。当時は１公演ずつの３タイトルで登場しましたが、１本１本が世界中のマニア／コレクターにこれ以上ない衝撃を振りまいた。本作は、そんな衝撃作を再デジタル化で３公演まとめたもの。それでは、この３公演がどんなポジションなのか、2003年のライヴスケジュールの中で確認してみましょう。

・４月13日-19日：北米#1（５公演）←★ココ★
・６月26日-７月13日：北米#2（10公演）
・８月９日-29日：北米#3（13公演）

以上、28公演。これが14年前の“Lost Cities Tour”の全景です。冒頭５公演は特に“CHICAGO RESIDENCY 2003”と題され、伝統の名会場“Vic Theatre”での５連続公演でした。本作は、その「初日」「２日目」「５日目（最終日）」をそれぞれディスク２枚組で描ききったものなのです。

【特別すぎる激レアなコンサート】
しかし、いかに超・極上サウンドボードであっても、似たようなショウを３公演も聴くのは胃にもたれる。ところが、本作は１公演１公演がまるで違うのです。毎晩セットを変えるトムではありますが、同会場５公演とあってか本作の変わりっぷりは大胆。もちろん、３日間共通しているのは19曲だけで、日替わり曲はそれ以上の25曲。トータルで44曲・86トラックにも及ぶのです。
しかも、そのボリュームだけでなく中身も特濃。「Refugee」「I Won’t Back Down」「Running Down A Dream」といった定番曲もわずかにありますが、「American Girl」「Free Fallin’」すらなく、60年代ブリティッシュ・グループやブルースのカバーが大量に演奏されており、しかもそのレア度が満点。例えば「I’m A King Bee」は25年ぶりの演奏ですし、「My Sweet Baby’s Arms」「Wake Up Time」「Black Leather Woman」「Peggy Sue」はこのシカゴ５公演でしか披露されたことがなく、「Gonna Leave You」「My New Guitar」「Next Time You See Memphis」に至っては“１回限りだった”と言われる究極のレア演奏。そんな美味しすぎるセットを超・極上サウンドボードで味わえるのです。
オフィシャルさえも超越した卓直結サウンド、激レアすぎるセット、トータル44曲に及ぶボリューム。あらゆる意味で超極上・特別すぎるライヴアルバムです。初めてトムを聴く方にも最適のクオリティにして、コアマニアも震撼する超絶なる関係者流出サウンドボード・アルバム。どうぞ、この機会に存分にお楽しみください。
