Billy Joel,Chick Corea/NY,USA 11.19.2015

“BILLY JOEL IN CONCERT TOUR”. The live album has arrived. The tour, which started in January 2014, is still continuing after 1 year and 10 months, and it has been announced that they will finally perform across the ocean in Germany in September next year. This work is the audience album of the 63rd performance of “BILLY JOEL IN CONCERT TOUR” “November 19, 2015 Madison Square Garden”. The biggest point of this work is the best sound of the best. The core is thick, and the sound with a sharp outline is as neat and beautiful as a sound board. There is some reverberation from the venue, but it is so faint that it is hard to believe that it is the huge traditional venue “Madison Square Garden”. However, this place is definitely MSG. Although the musical tone is vivid, there is a spectacle where the American enthusiasm that fills the scene spreads like an ocean. The ocean is not the same as standing on a sandy beach. From the top of a steep cliff, you can see the sea cheering in the distance. Enthusiastic, gigantic cheers erupt from beneath their feet, and the band’s musical sounds spread out as if to cover the sea. No matter how hot it gets, there is a three-dimensional feel that does not interfere with the musical sound, but pushes it to even higher heights. A chorus of 20,000 people follows Billy on the piano… It is a moving live album that includes original masterpieces, as well as some fun covers such as QUEEN’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.” This sound alone is a special one, but there are even more specials in this work. Jazz pianist Chick Corea makes a guest appearance on “Big Man On Mulberry Street,” “Zanzibar,” and “New York State Of Mind.” In addition, flute player Cindy Ruggles will also appear in “She’s Always A Woman.” The flute and the audience’s chorus blend together and surround Billy’s singing voice… After all, it is a wonderful scene that can only be experienced in this work. A sense of scale that could only be captured by audience recording, and the finest sound possible only with the latest digital equipment. The famous songs that have been engraved in your ears and hearts are creating a completely new sound world. The same was true of Elton John’s released “YOKOHAMA 2015: AUDIENCE RECORDING (recorded on November 18th, one day different from this work. The time difference between Japan and New York is 14 hours, so the live performance is less than half a day apart)” However, this is a world that can only be depicted in the latest audience recording. “Thank you for staying alive until recording equipment evolves…” This is a song that makes you think, “Thank you for staying alive until recording equipment evolves…” Chick Corea makes a guest appearance in the first half. You can hear them perform together on Big Man On Mulberry Street, Zanzibar, and New York State Of Mind. Live at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY.
