Paul McCartney/UK 1990

Speaking of Paul’s Knebworth, it is one of his major performance records that even non-maniacs can recall as “1990 live”, and it is one of the masterpieces produced by the world tour that took place from 1989 to 1990. one. The official video of the event included only four songs, but thanks to the radio sound source broadcast on the BBC at the time, the complete version could be enjoyed on a stereo soundboard with perfect sound quality, and it became a huge bestseller at the time. is. Since this was an appearance at an outdoor festival, there must have been many enthusiasts who cried at the compact content that could fit on one LP rather than a CD, and above all, the John Lennon medley that was specially performed at Knebworth. . Speaking of Paul’s Knebworth, many enthusiasts may think of this medley. However, although the definitive sound source appeared immediately, there are still only four songs in terms of video. For some reason, a leaked pro shot that only picks up Linda’s voice is circulating among core enthusiasts, but it’s more than valuable (lol). Still, I want to see the legendary Knebworth in its entirety…The audience shot video from the same day will make that enthusiast’s dream come true. There were several Japanese people who went to see this event in the aftermath of their performance in Japan a few months earlier and with the momentum of the end of the bubble economy at the time, and one of them took the opportunity to take a photo from Knebworth Square. It is. However, this video has been circulating among traders, and a version with the radio sound source recorded was also made overseas. It can also be easily viewed on YouTube. However, this time we borrowed the video master directly from the enthusiast who filmed it, and achieved a dramatic improvement in image quality. After all, the version seen on YouTube has been uploaded in a compressed state due to the decline of VHS via overseas traders, so the image quality is extremely low, and enthusiasts who are used to watching it will be disappointed. You will be stunned by the upper feeling. But that’s not all. Not only the image quality, but also the appearance of “That Day Is Done” playing at the venue before Paul appeared, which was cut in the YouTube version, and Timothy Dalton, who played James Bond at the time, and the host of “READY STEADY GO”. Cathy McGowan, who was serving as , even captures how Paul is introduced, and it also shows off the difference in recording time unique to the master. However, this is an audience shot taken with a handheld camera in 1990, and the faces of the members below the projected pole are a bit white-out from the lighting, and it is not possible to get a sense of their expressions. Still, the fact that they dared to shoot in that vast venue, and more importantly, the fact that they captured the poles on stage in amazing close-up, makes it easy to see even in this Reiwa era. Also, during the guitar solo of “We Got Married”, which is not officially recorded, Paul and Hamish Stuart are clearly captured sliding towards Robbie Mackintosh, who is playing, just like on a regular stage. Elai. On the other hand, when “Let It Be” and “Yesterday” were played near the photographer, an idiot audience member who opened a large umbrella and started picking fights with the audience behind him was also captured, but he was also captured holding a plastic bottle at him. A wild scene that would be unimaginable in Japan, such as the sight of storms flying around. Because of people like this, I think the UK needs to have a “lockdown” instead of a “restraint from going out” (bitter smile). However, this can also be said to be a realistic feeling unique to audience shots, and what is even more noteworthy is the surprisingly good sound quality of the audio picked up by the video camera. It can be considered a valuable audience recording of Knebworth. And after all, when it comes to the Lennon medley, the chorus and excitement of “Help!” and “Give Peace A Chance” are amazing. This kind of vivid sense of reality cannot be experienced with professional shots or soundboards. However, the angles throughout the entire film and the surprisingly stable shooting conditions make it a wonder that items have not been released until now.
