Duran Duran/MI,USA 1982 Upgrade

DURAN DURAN opened up a golden era in 1982 with the famous album “RIO”. Introducing the best soundboard album where you can enjoy that stage. This work was recorded at “Detroit Performance on July 9, 1982”. This is a super powerful sound board recording. Speaking of 1982, it was the year in which not only the big break with “RIO” but also the legendary first visit to Japan was realized. First, let’s look back at the schedule and check the show’s position. ・April 15th – 22nd: Australia (6 performances) ・April 25th – May 1st: First visit to Japan (5 performances) [RIO released on May 10th] ・June 23rd – August 18th: North America (33 performances) ←★Here★ ・September 23rd – October 20th: Europe (17 performances) ・October 29th – December 1st: UK (28 performances) ← *Official December 31st: New York performance This is DURAN DURAN in 1982. The legendary first visit to Japan was held just before the release of “RIO”, but the Detroit performance of this work was after the release. This was the 12th concert of the “North American” leg, which was the main part of the tour. Such shows have long been known for having soundboard recordings left behind, and have produced many existing groups. This work is also the same sound board sound source, but it is the highest peak master of the latest excavation that is different from before. The company responsible for this excavation was the prestigious company “Krw_co.” The 1st Gene Cassette that was dubbed directly from the original sound board was discovered, and it was digitized from there. In fact, the sound is superb. As for the type, it is not polished like the official live album or FM broadcast, but is directly connected to the mix desk. The rough live music that the on-site PA would have spouted out without any decoration, and the balance was such that even the loud cheers seemed to whisper in the distance. You can’t expect the experience of a concert venue at all, but the dynamism of the live performance as it hits your brain is overwhelming, and the pleasure of having your whole body in perfect sync with DURAN DURAN is something you can never experience with official works. Rather than being a replacement for the so-called official version, it is the ideal form that sound board enthusiasts love. And it’s definitely the best ever. A few years ago, there was a master touted as “Pre-FM” on the market, but to be honest, there is no comparison. Although the conventional master also had a sense of direct connection, there was a lot of noise compared to this work, and the pitch was unstable. Of course, the vividness of the outline and the beauty of the sound are on a whole other level. The freshness of this work is so overwhelming that I now want to say, “Where is Pre-FM?” What is drawn with such an upgraded sound is a show that concentrates and reduces the initial two works. As mentioned above, speaking of the 1982 live, the official work “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!” is famous, but the set of this work is similar and different. Let’s compare and organize them here. Duran Duran (6 songs)・Girls on Film/Night Boat/Friends of Mine/Planet Earth/Careless Memories/Anyone Out There (★) Rio (5 songs)・Rio/Last Chance On The Stairway (★)/Hungry Like The Wolf/New Religion/Hold Back The Rain (★) *Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard in the official work “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!” …and it looks like this. Perhaps because it was after the release of the album, “Rio” and “New Religion”, which were not performed on the first visit to Japan, also appeared, and the contents were a roughly 50/50 mix of the two early works. The three unlistenable songs from “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!” are “Anyone Out There,” “Last Chance On The Stairway,” and “Hold Back The Rain,” which have been locked away for over 15 years. ” was a repertoire that would not be played for another 20 years. It is a delicious live album that has a rich mood unique to the early days, with the birth of famous songs that have become classics and increases the listening pleasure. Standing in the midst of a full-fledged breakthrough, this is a super powerful live album with live performances that will flow directly into your brain as they gear up towards their peak. It is a press-grade masterpiece as a single music album, and it is also inevitable as a complementary record that connects “RIO” and “SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER”. This is a must-have record that you’ll want to have on your shelf alongside the official historical masterpieces. Super powerful soundboard recording of “July 9, 1982 Detroit Performance”. This is a masterpiece that has been digitized from the highest peak 1st generation cassette ever discovered by the prestigious “Krw_co”, and is a direct connection type mixer with the core exposed. The dynamism of the live music immersing itself in your head is overwhelming, and your whole body is in perfect sync with DURAN DURAN. You can also enjoy “Anyone Out There,” “Last Chance On The Stairway,” and “Hold Back The Rain,” which cannot be heard in the official work “LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ’82!”.
