Description
The tour that Bob Dylan conducted with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tends to be more popular among enthusiasts than 1986 due to the rapid changes in the set list, and above all, in his autobiography, Dylan himself confessed that he got over his doubts in 1986 the following year, so the 1986 tour tends to be looked down upon even more. However, more than 10 years have passed since the publication of the autobiography, and more than anything, items containing passionate performances that overturn the image have been released both to the best audiences and soundboards, so it seems that this period is finally being given the proper evaluation. I think it became. The masterpieces that proved this were “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1986 FINAL NIGHT” and “THE BEST SHOW: MINNEAPOLIS 1986”. Speaking of the performances in Japan where live activities were held earlier than in the United States this year, the last performance at Budokan on March 10th was overwhelmingly popular. The legendary day when Dylan unexpectedly performed an instrumental version of “Sukiyaki”, a big surprise. This is why it is so popular that the old “SUKIYAKI PARTY IN BUDOKAN” and recently the “FINAL NIGHTS IN JAPAN 1986” have been released. Among them, it seems that there are many maniacs who listened to this day with “SUKIYAKI PARTY IN BUDOKAN”. “TRUE CONFESSIONS” has the feeling that it was quietly released using a different audience recording master. I think most enthusiasts have forgotten that the title did not suggest a performance in Japan and that this item even exists. However, not only did it use independently obtained audience recordings, but it had the great advantage of being closer to the sound image than those items that were based on sound sources that were circulating among traders or on the Internet. However, at that time, the 1986 live sound source itself was looked down upon for the reasons mentioned above. And most importantly, there was a cut in the finale “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”. However, when I listened to it again now, I was surprised by the clearly excellent quality. At the time of its release, there was no need to apply equalization (as the sound quality was originally very good), but rather the “SUKIYAKI PARTY IN BUDOKAN” source was used as a supplementary factor. As a result, not only “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”, which was the biggest decision, was promoted to the full version, but also “I’m Moving On”, whose intro was slightly cut off due to the timing of the tape change, was also firmly fixed. Complete. Although the sound image of the “SUKIYAKI PARTY ~” source was far away, the spacious and delicate texture is still attractive, and the edited parts make you realize that the main “TRUE CONFESSIONS” sound source boasts even higher sound quality. I’m sure you’ll get it. What is surprising once again in front of this wonderful sound quality is Dylan’s supple performance. I guess it was because it was my first tour with Tom Petty that I was so excited. An even bigger factor is that it’s the last day of the so-called “Down Under” tour, which started in Australia in February and lasted just over a month. In particular, the first half of the live show before he takes over from Petty is so full of energy that you can tell at a glance, and even after that, Dylan’s songs are really powerful. In fact, you will definitely be surprised at how passionately they performed. “Mr. Tambourine Man” is a hilarious scene that proves this momentum, performed by Dylan. Dylan was excited by the excitement of “It Ain’t Me, Babe,” which had been sung before that, and forgot that he had to switch to a harmonica in a different key before singing “Mr. Tambourine”. I’ll start it. Because of this, when I was about to play the harmonica, the sound was out of tune. Of course, there is no way Dylan won’t notice, but he can’t stop playing. In the end, it ended up being a rare performance called “Mr. Tambourine~”, which almost didn’t include a harmonica solo (lol). And in the second half of the live performance, there were a series of rare scenes in the relaxed atmosphere unique to the last day of the tour, but the cover of the old number “We Three (My Echo, My Shadow And Me)” has almost zero popularity in Japan. This was typical of how Dylan at the time lost focus on singing his own songs, preferring instead to sing covers that returned to his roots. In fact, it is said that the Heartbreakers also objected to the performance of this song (which was not supposed to be received in Japan), but once it started, it was amazing that each person firmly supported Dylan. Thanks to that, he seemed to be really comfortable singing, and when I listened to it objectively like this, I was reminded that it was a really great performance, except for the fact that everyone in the audience was in a state of “?”. You will be forced to do so. I wonder if this satisfied my desire (lol) On the other hand, this time, they played an instrumental song that all Japanese people know, “Sukiyaki”. It was essentially an instrumental version, with the band joining in when Dylan started playing the melody of the song, but the fact that the audience noticed it and gradually began to sing along was conveyed, a thrill that can only be achieved with audience recording. . Even when we hear it now, I think it’s a scene that really touches us. Not only is it the last day of such a legendary performance in Japan, but it is also the third best release of the 1986 tour, along with “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1986 FINAL NIGHT” and “THE BEST SHOW: MINNEAPOLIS 1986.” The board is born! Directly uses the original master cassette (SONY HF-S90x2) of “TRUE CONFESSIONS”. By filling in the missing parts with previously released CD sources, this is the longest record ever.
