Beatles/North American Tour Collection Sep 1964 – Apr 1965

The 1964 American tour was divided into two titles. The first half was titled “SEATTLE DOWN”, but the sound quality of the audience recording of the Seattle performance, which was the source of its name, was not good, so the press CD was postponed. In fact, Seattle had a level of sound quality that was among the top three among the Beatles’ audience recordings, and compared to that, the Dutch performance of “ADELAIDE REACTION”, which was also in 1964, was at a much more listenable level. As a result, only “CONVENTION HALL WISDOM” was played in the latter half of the American tour, but after all, this was the famous soundboard from the Philadelphia performance in September, also known as “Whiskey Flat”, which has been a staple since the analog era. is recorded. Although it seems that it is different from Philadelphia according to the latest research, it is still the best soundboard of the tour that contains wonderful performances. Following that, Indianapolis, which is included on the first disc, is a soundboard recording that was discovered in the CD era, but by combining these two, the first disc alone is a famous soundboard recording of the 1964 American tour. It is a complete collection of contents. In that respect, the first half of the second disc is a collection of fragmentary sound sources and soundboards such as Montreal, which have inferior sound quality compared to the sound sources of the first disc. Even more than that, there is even a sound source from the New Orleans performance of the soundboard, where you can only hear the “MC” between live songs. It is undeniable that these parts are for enthusiasts, but at the same time, the great thing about this series is that it carefully compiles even these bimyo sound sources. However, in the second half of the second album, excellent soundboards such as the TV program “SHINDIG!” and the 1965 New Musical Express popularity contest appear all at once. Strictly speaking, the former was an elaborate sound source that used takes recorded for the program rather than live performances, and only the songs were live, but valuable repertoire such as “Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey” was heard. It’s attractive to be able to And at the NME Popularity Vote Concert, it was one of the great performances in the 1965 live performance, in which the newly introduced repertoire was played with high tension, and combined with the good sound quality, it was a good listen. In this way, in total, the excellent sound source of the sound board occupies a large proportion, and I see that it is a masterpiece that has only been made into a CD with the exception of “SEATTLE DOWN”.
