Boz Scaggs/IL 2018

Boz Scaggs has completed his blues trilogy, continuing from A FOOL TO CARE, with his new album OUT OF THE BLUE. Here is his latest super-fine professional shot. Currently, Boz is in the middle of the “OUT OF THE BLUE TOUR”, but this work includes one act, “July 13, 2018 Chicago performance”. First, let’s check the position of the show in the schedule to know his recent situation. [2018] March 31-May 10: North America #1 (4 performances) June 11-July 14: North America #2 (21 performances) ←★Here★《July 27th “OUT OF THE BLUES” released》 August 28-September 29: North America #3 (21 performances) October 19-November 16: North America #4 (19 performances) [2019] March 27: Mexico performance This is the schedule that has been announced so far. This year, around the time of the new release, 65 performances were held in about half a year, and the 2019 show has already begun to be decided. It is clear from the schedule that Boz, who is now 74 years old, is increasingly motivated. The Chicago performance of this work was the 20th performance of “North America # 2”, which was just before the release of “OUT OF THE BLUES”. In fact, Boz was not the main character of the day. Jimmy Buffett, who is touring the United States with “SON OF A SON OF A SAILOR ’18”, performed in Chicago, and Boz participated as a special guest. He opened with Caroline Jones and Mac McAnally. The luxurious lineup became a semi-festival-like aspect, and was broadcast live on the WEB cast. This work is a recording of the Boz edition with the best master. The quality is exactly the ironclad multi-camera pro shot. You don’t have to worry about the latest broadcast, but even with such a mindset, the visual beauty is amazing. Only the opening act has been performed from the time of day, and the bright scene can be seen clearly in every corner. Everything is vivid, detailed, and beautiful. Behind the stage, a screen image imitating the artwork of the new album “OUT OF THE BLUE” is projected, but even that is super clear, as if it was digitally processed later. With that beautiful image, the strong sunlight gradually fades with each song, and the colorful lights become more vivid… Such a mood is also wonderful. Of course, the sound is also a perfect stereo sound board, and the liveliness of a live broadcast is also the best. Even by modern standards, where all kinds of images are flying around, it is the highest quality concert video you can hope for. Such beautiful images depict a show where you can still hear plenty of lustrous singing voice even though he is in his mid-70s. Boz has featured blues in his recent studio works, but on stage, his main hits are from the past. He also sings covers such as Bobby Bland’s “The Feeling Is Gone” and Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell,” which are also included in the new album, but the rest are all familiar songs. In addition to “Running Blue”, “Jojo”, and “Look What You’ve Done to Me”, five songs from his masterpiece “SILK DEGREES”, which makes up half of the album, will be performed on the stage. The singing style is sexy and light-hearted. Although it is blues, there is no earthy smell, and it exudes an urban, melting sexiness. Although it is only a pre-show performance, it is short, consisting of 10 songs and about 50 minutes, but its density is particularly dense. This is a masterpiece video that allows you to enjoy the latest Boz in rare, super-excellent quality. Live at Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois, USA 13th July 2018 PRO-SHOT (48:34) 1. Intro 2.
