Rolling Stones/PA,USA 6.29.1975 Upgrade

One of the major arenas used for rock concerts in the United States in the 1970s was a venue called the Spectrum in Philadelphia. It was a favorite venue for big British groups like the Stones and ZEP, and in 1974, King Crimson even held one of the few arena shows in band history at the same venue. The Stones held concerts at this venue from 1969 to 1975, and in 1972 it became a legendary venue for fans because it was the recording that became the basis for their famous album “PHILADELPHIA SPECIAL.” However, strangely, there is a dilemma that this venue does not have many high-quality sound sources of the audience. It is ZEP that is more obvious than the Stones, and not only are they not blessed with good quality sound sources, but there were even shows where recordings were not excavated like in 1970. In that respect, the Stones have had sound sources since 1969, but this is also not blessed with sound quality. In 1972, audience recordings were recently discovered. Even in 1975’s “TOUR OF AMERICAS”, the Stones performed twice at the Spectrum, and audience recordings had existed for both shows for a long time. However, due to problems with the sound quality and recording condition, the items were still not released. Under such circumstances, the show on the first day, June 29th, was surprisingly easy to listen to. However, this sound source also had a problem, and when it was first distributed, it was strongly equalized to suppress noise. There was also a problem with the left channel cutting off in some songs. In addition, there is the problem that the final part of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and the second verse of “Rip This Joint” are completely omitted. The more I list these shortcomings, the more I can’t help but feel that it’s a sound source that has never been released, but the sound image of the performance itself is surprisingly close, and if you’re an enthusiast, you’ll find it surprisingly enjoyable. It is also true that it is at an embarrassing level. Therefore, we decided to overhaul it this time. First of all, due to the equalization that was applied during the distribution of the sound source, the harshness of the high notes, which had a texture that sounded like it was popular 10 years ago, was corrected. Another problem, the break in the left channel, was resolved by making it monaural. And the extremely unstable pitch disturbance, which could be said to be the finishing blow for listening, has been thoroughly adjusted. If you are an enthusiast who has the original sound source that was circulating among traders, you may be surprised at the sudden change to the upper version that is surprisingly easy to listen to. We have also thoroughly corrected the sound quality issues that were found here and there. The first day of Philadelphia’s rebirth in 1975 is really interesting. The Philadelphia Spectrum in 1975 was held after the series of performances at Madison Square Garden. When you listen to “All Down The Line” and “If You Can’t Rock Me-Get Off Of My Cloud,” you can hear Mick looking tired as he sings at the next show after only one day off from consecutive MSG performances. is transmitted. As I said earlier, the sound images are surprisingly close together, and his voice resonates loudly, so you can clearly see that he is even more tired. However, from the perspective of the entire tour, it is still only the first half of the tour, and even though Mick is tired, it can be seen that he is working hard not to lose his tension. This area seems to be the first half of the tour. Of course, he probably borrowed the power of drugs as well. If you listen to the whole show, it is also a sound source that records Mick’s ups and downs. First, we got back on track with the slow, low-key “You Gotta Move,” and maybe Keith’s “Happy” was a relief. Mick gave us some nice songs like “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo” and “Wild Horses.” Masu. It’s clear he’s in good shape in the middle of this show, and he culminates the day with “Midnight Rambler.” The performance is explosive, Mick makes a series of strange voices, and the wildness that is typical of 1975 is on full display. It’s much better than the same song by MSG, whose performance was less enthusiastic depending on the day. However, it must have been too much, and Mick seems to be really suffering in the following songs. Things go downhill here. Even so, he was able to sing it all the way to the end, which is truly amazing. In contrast to Mick, who had such unevenness, Ronnie’s guitar play is consistently stable. I especially like how he plays the lead very carefully on the highlight songs such as “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and the ballad “Wild Horses.” On the first day in Philadelphia in 1975, you can see that even though Mick, who was a bit tired, was not feeling well, the band’s performance as a whole was on an upswing, and Mick was able to persevere as if riding on that. This is a CD release that even enthusiasts who have been avoiding due to the problems with the sound source mentioned above can listen to with peace of mind, and it has been reborn in a state that is truly easy to listen to. The missing ring release of the 1975 tour that started in Atlanta last year, the hole will be filled again this time! Live at Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA, USA 29th June 1975 Disc 1 (71:33) 1.
