Description
“Wembley Stadium” was the site of “LIVE AID” and the “Freddie Memorial Concert.” Kinney’s original vacuum-packed cassette of the solo performance held at that huge venue has been newly discovered. Bowie appeared on stage at Wembley Stadium (not the arena) six times. However, most of them were participating in festival-style events. In addition to the “LIVE AID” and “Freddie Memorial Concert” mentioned above, there is also “CONCERT FOR HOPE” in 1993, “NET AID” in 1999… Under such circumstances, only two performances “June 19th + 20th, 1987” were held as solo concerts. This work is a 4-disc set that allows you to experience the full show of Wembley Stadium, which was only two nights in Bowie’s life. It is a “Wembley Stadium performance” that is not easy even for the biggest names in the rock world, but it was possible because Bowie at that time reigned in the scene as the darling of the times. First of all, let’s check the show’s position from the overall picture of “GLASS SPIDER TOUR”.・March 17th – 30th: Promotion show (9 times)《“NEVER LET ME DOWN” released on April 20th》》・May 29th – July 18th: Europe (27 performances)←★Here★・7 March 30th – October 14th: North America (44 performances) ← *Official CD October 29th – November 28th: Oceania (15 performances) ← *Official video This is Bowie in 1987. The official DVD “GLASS SPIDER” and the official CD “GLASS SPIDER (LIVE MONTREAL ’87),” which was remastered and reissued last year, remain from this tour, but the Wembley Stadium performance of this work is much earlier than those. . It was also the 11th/12th concert of the “Europe” leg. This work recorded at such a show is truly an exquisite audience recording. As mentioned earlier, it has been digitized directly from the original cassette by the famous “Kinney”, and its freshness and neat sound are exceptional. Kinney is the type who pursues “clearness unique to the audience,” and that individuality is alive and well in this work. Since it is a huge venue, there is no sense of distance, but perhaps because the venue is an open space, the sound is excellent and the outline is clear. This sound reminds me of the record-breaking hit “LIVE AID (Wardour-310).” Kinney’s audience recording was recorded at the biggest event of the century, and many customers were shocked by its sparkling sound and the undulating sense of realism that can only be achieved at a huge venue. And, this work is also “Live at WEMBLEY STADIUM” by the prestigious Kinney. It is exactly the “Bowie version” of that super masterpiece! The sequel sound of the historic super masterpiece depicts, literally, the big stage that became Bowie’s once in a lifetime. Of course, since “GLASS SPIDER TOUR” is perfectly crafted but has little change, it also conforms to the official live work, but it is not exactly the same. Let’s organize the set here. 70’s numbers (6 songs)・THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD: All The Madmen・ALADDIN SANE: Time (June 20th only)・DIAMOND DOGS: Big Brother・YOUNG AMERICANS: Fame・”HEROES”: “Heroes”/ Sons Of The Silent Age 80’s numbers (18 songs) ・SCARY MONSTERS: Up The Hill Backwards/Fashion/Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) ・LET’S DANCE: China Girl/Let’s Dance/Modern Love ・TONIGHT: Loving The Alien/Dancing With The Big Boys (★)/Blue Jean・ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS:Absolute Beginners・NEVER LET ME DOWN:Glass Spider/Day-In Day-Out/Bang Bang/Never Let Me Down/’87 And Cry/Time Will Crawl/Beat Of Your Drum/Zeroes (★) *Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard on the official “GLASS SPIDER (LIVE MONTREAL ’87)”. …and it looks like this. The large number of 80’s numbers centered on the latest work at that time “NEVER LET ME DOWN” is a matter of taste, but it is also valuable. Most of the new songs were only played on this tour, and “Loving The Alien” and “Absolute Beginners” are songs that will remain closed for over 10 years. Of course, you can’t miss listening to the classics. In addition to the stylish arrangement of the time, “Big Brother” was revived for the first time in 13 years, and they also performed “All The Madmen” and “Sons Of The Silent Age”, which had almost never been performed before. I’ll give it to you. I was able to enjoy this repertoire in the official work “GLASS SPIDER (LIVE MONTREAL ’87)”, but the exceptions are “Dancing With The Big Boys” and “Zeroes”. Both were not only limited to the “GLASS SPIDER TOUR”, but were also only performed at limited shows. As a result, it is a valuable performance that cannot be heard even on “GLASS SPIDER (LIVE MONTREAL ’87)”. And Bowie singing such a set is wonderful. As I have said repeatedly, the “Wembley Stadium performance” is one of the biggest stages in a lifetime, even for the biggest names in the rock world. The spirit with which they approach the stage is incomparable to that of a normal show. Even in a tightly put together show, each song and voice is filled with power. He can freely manipulate that huge ocean of people and make them excited with his hit songs. This is a live album that stands in the midst of all that. “GLASS SPIDER TOUR” is the most popular among enthusiasts right now, or to put it bluntly, it tends to be avoided. However, this work is a different story. Just as QUEEN, who returned to Wembley the year after “LIVE AID”, achieved a great performance, Bowie also performed a great show two years later. This work allows you to experience two such shows in their entirety. “Solo performance at Wembley Stadium” only twice in his life. This is one of the prestigious Kinney products that contains all of these qualities. A 4-disc set that is a sequel to the masterpiece of the century “LIVE AID” and is a Bowie edition.
