Description
The famous performance, which can be said to be the most packed with the delicious parts of the live performance on the “DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH” tour, has finally been reborn with the best sound quality and released on CD for the first time! With delicate treatment and a matrix of the two remaining sound sources, an ULTIMATE title was born that blows away all the out-of-print titles! The heavy sound unique to this tour reverberated through the stage and the legendary mini-theater, making it literally the strongest edition for every family. Through careful treatment, our store has continued to renew Oasis’ past live sound sources as new best sound titles, with a total of more than 130 titles, but the beginning of the “DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH” tour had the feeling that it was a little missing among the releases so far. The key point of the live performances during this period was that they intentionally only performed at theater-class venues, rather than performing at vast venues such as stadiums and festivals, which were later commonplace. Therefore, the existence of sound sources is limited, but on the other hand, with Zack Starkey at the core of the band’s sound, the other instruments are also heavy and profound, so when it is released in a small venue where the sound hits directly, the exquisite feeling is unique! Under such circumstances, the Paris performance on May 23rd has been appreciated by mania as a good audience. It is valuable as it completely records the first stage of the 2005 tour, and the Olympia Theater, which was the venue for the gig, is a historic and legendary venue with a history of over 130 years, known for radio broadcasts of the Beatles in 1964 and the Stones from 1965 to 1967! Oasis arrived at the Olympia Theater in 2005, and it is valuable just to have a solid record of a small gig that is unthinkable now, but it is also an easy-to-listen audience recording, and from that time, “BETTER THAN WHITE?”, “IN PARIS”, “L’OLYMPIA 2005 CRAZY FRENCH PEOPLE”, “PARIS AFFAIR” 2005” items were released. I would like to say that the fact that so many items were released is the best proof that it is an excellent sound source.Moreover, it was a big attraction that it captured the power of the performance and the realistic feeling of a theater.However, on the other hand, because the low tones centered on Zack Starkey’s bass drum were excessively noticeable, the performances of other instruments and Liam’s singing voice were relegated to the background, and the sound image itself cannot be denied a feeling of depth. In addition to that, it is true that the sound quality itself was somewhat fluffy. Therefore, this time, using the latest AI technology, we first separated one of the two types of audience sound sources that were used in the release of items at the time into a total of 11 tracks, including vocals, guitar, bass, snare, tom, bass drum, hi-hat, cymbals, keyboard, audience noise, and others. In addition, another source was similarly carefully disassembled by track and prepared as a perfect material. By carefully treating these two sound sources for each track and then mixing and matrixing them, the sound image suddenly changed from that mushy sound image with too much bass to a solid sound image closer to the sound board! Even though I wasn’t doing anything like “creating a sound that doesn’t exist” like I usually do, the difference in the sound was obvious. If you are used to listening to past items, you will definitely be surprised by the results that have been reborn with this matrix! Since it was the beginning of the tour, Liam’s voice was known to be in particularly good condition from that time, but by carefully adjusting the sound of each track and reborn into a sound that resembles a sound board (especially the smoothness of the guitar and vocals is superb), his singing voice has been reborn so that it can be heard clearly without being overwhelmed by the bass, and it is already a masterpiece! From the opening song “Turn Up The Sun”, Liam’s voice is pleasantly clear, and it is completely different from the bad, heavy singing voice that tends to be associated with Liam’s vocals in 2005. Up until now, regarding live performances in 2005, we have carefully selected and released the days when Liam is in good condition, but this day he is in perfect condition. If you listen to the next song, “Lyla,” you will definitely have your conventional wisdom turned upside down. Therefore, in 2005, songs such as “Stop Crying Your Heart Out”, which disappeared during the early stages of the tour, were so pleasant to listen to. Especially since I can hear my voice better than on my bad days in 2002 and 2003. It’s only natural that the audience would go wild if they were able to witness Liam in such great condition at a theater class venue that was so hot. The charm of this recording, which captured the excitement with exquisite balance, can now be felt in an even less sarcastic form with this matrix. Above all, it’s the beginning of the tour, and it’s also a theater performance, so it’s interesting that they are playing more carefully than usual, compared to the normal mode at stadiums and festivals. Furthermore, it is refreshing that the keyboard sound played by supporter Jay stands out. Thanks to this detailed work, the 2005 Olympia Theater in Paris was instantly reborn as a superb audience. It has been promoted to the title that represents the entire tour without any price tag! This reincarnation and performance quality is truly a must-have.
