The Who’s latest “HITS BACK” tour ended successfully with great success. Recently, UXBRDGE has released the best audience and crisp performances at the end of the tour, Las Vegas and Hollywood Bowl, but this time, the earmoni sound source has finally appeared!
The stage was set in Sacramento on October 26th. It can be said that the finish that maniacs successfully constructed the earphone sound source intercepted from each part is perfect, it is completely sound board state, it is a level that can be enjoyed like a normal live album.
Of course, the biggest weakness of the earphones, the lack of realism, is covered by synchronizing the recorded (!) audience. Originally, it showed a finish that would not be strange even if it was released on a press board.
However, Taper, who released the earmoni sound source this time, also released the audience recording itself at the same time, and this sound quality is also wonderful. Even if it is not as good as the outstanding graininess of the performance produced by earphone recording, the on-sound image is also at the press board level, and it can be said that it is the best of this tour.
I see, so you were able to release both of them at the same time because you were confident in both of them as Taper. Therefore, this time it was released as a four-disc set that couples both sound sources.
Sacramento is an earlier performance than Las Vegas and the Hollywood Bowl that have been released so far, but it is positioned in the second half of the tour as a whole. That’s why there is plenty of room to play. If those two sound sources are in a crisp tone at the end of the tour, this day is full of confidence and confidence that the tour has been successfully advanced.
Especially when you listen to the in-ear recording, Pete’s sharp cuts are excellent, and you will be keenly aware that his guitar, which continues to support The Who’s sound, is still alive and well.
Therefore, the sharpness of lively songs such as “You Better You Bet” and “Another Tricky Day” is conveyed in a pleasant way. Roger, who sings on such a vigorous performance, is amazed at the excellent condition without blurring even when listening with earphones.
The audience titles that have been released so far have captured the fact that the two are in such good shape that it is hard to believe that they are elderly, but hearing them with such a closed sound source is just amazing.
However, the moist sound quality of the audience recording is also excellent, and even if you listen to it there, you will definitely be fascinated by Fu’s relaxed performance that day. The scene where Pete laughed while singing at the end of the live “5:15” is the best example.
In this way, it became a coupling release of two types of sound sources, but the relaxed Fu’s performance is a soundboard-like in-ear monitor, and each recording that can be said to be the epitome of the finest audience is really enjoyable. This is the definitive release from the autumn “HITS BACK” tour!

大盛況のうちに無事終了したザ・フー最新「HITS BACK」ツアー。ここのところ立て続けにラス・ヴェガスとハリウッド・ボウルというツアー終盤の極上オーディエンス＆キレッキレの名演がUXBRDGEからリリースされてきましたが、今回は遂にイヤモニ音源が登場！
その舞台となったのは10月26日のサクラメント。それぞれのパートから傍受されたイヤモニ音源をマニアが見事に構築してみせた仕上がりは完璧と言ってよく、完全にサウンドボード状態、それこそフツーのライブアルバム感覚で楽しめるレベル。
もちろんイヤモニ最大の弱点である臨場感の希薄さも同時に録音が敢行（！）されたオーディエンスをシンクロさせることでカバー。本来ならばプレス盤でリリースされたとしてもおかしくないほどの仕上がりを見せていたのです。
ところが今回イヤモニ音源を公開してくれたテーパーはそのオーディエンス録音本体も同時に公開してくれており、この音質がまた素晴らしい。さすがにイヤモニ録音が生み出す演奏のずば抜けた粒立ちには及ばなくとも、そのオンな音像はこれまたプレス盤レベルであり、今回のツアーのベストと言っていいほど。
なるほどテーパーとしてはどちらも自信作であったことから同時に公開してみせたということなのですね。そこで今回は両方の音源をカップリングさせた四枚組でのリリースとなりました。
サクラメントはこれまでリリースされてきたラス・ヴェガスやハリウッド・ボウルよりも前の公演でありつつ、それでいてツアー全体では後半という位置づけ。それだけに演奏からは余裕が溢れ出ている。それら二か所の音源がツアー終盤でキレッキレな調子だとすれば、この日はツアーを成功裏に進めてこられた余裕と自信に満ちたもの。
特にイヤモニ録音で聞くとピートが随所で鳴らすキレのいいカッティングが絶品で、ザ・フーのサウンドを今なお支え続ける彼のギターが健在であることを痛感させてくれるでしょう。
よって「You Better You Bet」や「Another Tricky Day」といった快活な曲の切れ味が気持ちいいほどに伝わってくる。そんな勢いのある演奏に乗って歌い上げるロジャーはイヤモニで聞いてもブレのない絶好調にも啞然。
これまでリリースされてきたオーディエンス・タイトルでも二人が高齢という事実が信じがたいほどの絶好調ぶりが捉えられていましたが、こうしたクローズな音源で聞かされるともう驚かされるばかり。
ところがオーディエンス録音のしっとりとした音質がまた絶品で、そちらで聞いてもこの日のフーの余裕に溢れたパフォーマンスに魅了されること間違いなし。ライブ終盤「5:15」でピートが歌いながら笑ってしまった場面などは最たる例かと。
こうして二種類の音源のカップリング・リリースとなった訳ですが、その伸びやかなフーの演奏はサウンドボードチックなイヤモニ、これぞ極上オーディエンスの典型といえる録音それぞれで本当に楽しい。秋の「HITS BACK」ツアーからこれぞ決定版と呼べる極めつけのリリースです！
