“THE JOSHUA TREE TOUR 2017” is creating a shock in the rock world in 2017. A new masterpiece live album is now available. This tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of the era’s symbolic album “THE JOSHUA TREE”. We have been delivering “sound reports” since the beginning. This work is the third audience album of the “June 4, 2017 Chicago performance”. First of all, let’s check what position the Chicago performance of this work is in the tour overview. ・May 12-26: North America # 1 (7 performances) ・June 3-July 1: North America # 2 (14 performances) ← ★ Here ★ ・July 8-August 1: Europe (12 performances) ・September 3-22: North America # 3 (7 performances) ・October 3-19: South America (5 performances) The above are the total of 45 performances that have been announced so far. At the start of the tour, it was only up to “Europe”, but then “North America #3” and “South America” ​​were announced. The “VANCOUVER 2017” and “SANTA CLARA 2017” that we have introduced so far were “North America #1”, but the Chicago performance was a two-day consecutive performance that decorated the beginning of “North America #2”, and this work is the second day. This work, which will be the first report of “North America #2”, is a masterpiece of excellent quality. The sound is extremely clear and the sound is beautiful. I think that the sound of the venue is probably being absorbed, but it is also transparent and transparent. To be more precise, it is completely assimilated with the effects on the performance itself, and there is no cloudiness or muffled feeling at all. The core of the musical sound penetrates straight through the middle of the sound. Although all the sounds are vivid, it is the bass that feels particularly transparent. It is not a particularly strong bass sound, but you can feel every single grain of the gritty bass clearly. The second day of the Chicago performance, depicted with such a sound, is also wonderful, as the band has begun to accumulate experience. As before, the three sections of the show, “Part 1 = WAR + THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE selection” → “Part 2 = THE JOSHUA TREE all songs” → “Part 3 = recent songs encore”, remain the same, but the set has changed slightly. It’s a shame that “Bad” was dropped from the first part, but what’s more impressive is the song order of the third part. Until now, they played “Beautiful Day” and “Elevation” from “ALL THAT YOU CAN’T LEAVE BEHIND (2000)” before moving on to the 90s songs “Miss Sarajevo”, “Ultra Violet (Light My Way)”, and “One”, but in this work, they have reversed the order. It has changed almost chronologically to “three songs from the 90s → two songs from 2000”. Although it’s just a song order, this is surprisingly big. That’s because the entire show is in chronological order from “Part 1 (1983-84)” to “Part 2 (1987)” to “Part 3 (1990s and after)”, and the finale is the new song “The Little Things That Give You Away” to be released this year (planned). Until now, even if the show was in chronological order, the inside of the third part was mixed, but now the entire show has a total flow of “1983 → 2017”. However, since the “Part 1” and “Part 3” continue to change for each performance after this show, this work is not the completed form of the set. However, it is the show with the most thorough concept at the moment. Among the concept tour of reproducing the super masterpiece “THE JOSHUA TREE”, the “Chicago performance day 2” was a set that was particularly particular about the chronology and continued into the future. It is a masterpiece of a live album that conveys the whole story with a wonderful sound. I don’t know what kind of expression this tour will show in the future, but even that will be a masterpiece that I’m looking forward to. The tour of the century that will never be repeated.
