David Bowie/MA,USA 7.16.1974

This live album is the ultimate 100% version of “DAVID LIVE”. The legendary taper: A superb masterpiece created from the master tape left by John Maloney has been decided to be released. This work is engraved with the “July 16, 1974 Boston performance”. It is a superb audience recording of one act of the “DIAMOND DOGS TOUR”. The same 1974 Maloney recording “BOSTON NOVEMBER 1974: JOE MALONEY MASTER” will also be released at the same time, but these two seem similar but are completely different. First of all, let’s check what position this show is in the course of 1974. {May “DIAMOND DOGS” released} “DIAMOND DOGS TOUR” June 14-July 20: North America #1 (32 shows) ←★Here★ {August “YOUNG AMERICANS” production begins} September 2-16: North America #2 (12 shows) “THE SOUL/PHILLY DOGS TOUR” October 5-December 1: North America #3 (34 shows) This is Bowie’s 1974. The tour is divided into three parts across the US, but only “North America #3” is a separate section also called “THE SOUL/PHILLY DOGS TOUR”. The simultaneously released “BOSTON NOVEMBER 1974” is a live album of “North America #3”, but this work is a record of the 30th performance of “North America #1”, which is different from that. Also, speaking of July 1974, it is also famous for the official traditional album “DAVID LIVE”. “DAVID LIVE” was produced from the Upper Darby performance on July 8-12, but this work is also a concert just four days later. If “DAVID LIVE” is the official traditional record, this work is an underground traditional recording. Although it is a recording that has been partially known since the old analog era, this work is a complete version that has been fully reprinted from Joe Maloney’s master. It is also the highest peak version supervised by an overseas Bowie expert. This expert is also the person who worked on “DEFINITIVE RAINBOW 1972”, which has undergone a major upgrade, and his deep knowledge of the sound source is overwhelming. That is why the sound of this work is the ultimate. It is undoubtedly an audience recording that exudes a rich vintage feel, but the crystal clearness is irresistible. There is a slight distance, but it does not cause muddiness or cloudiness. The high notes extend straight and unsettled as if they were in a vacuum with no air, and the metallic luster of the horn comes to mind. On the other hand, the bass is full of a solid feeling as if you are touching it with your hands, and the roaring bass conveys not only the groove but also the vibe of each sound. And the beautiful mid-range sound. Bowie’s singing voice can be heard clearly down to every word of the lyrics, and even his breath and breathing are realistic. What’s even more surprising is the lack of audience noise. Applause spreads between songs, but there is no distant talking or screaming. Of course, when it comes to performance, silence surrounds, and there is nothing to disturb the delicate performance sound. Even in today’s world where customer recording techniques have advanced, it is extremely difficult to position the performance sound so beautifully without cheers. In the 1970s, the sound output was poor and difficult, but the beautiful sound that does not matter. In addition to the recording itself, the freshness that comes from being a master is added even more. It is absolutely miraculous. It is a shining sound world that has been loved for a long history. The show depicted by that sound is also dazzling. The performance and overall flow are based on “DAVID LIVE”, but in fact it is even more than that. Not only can you listen to “Space Oddity”, “Panic In Detroit”, and “Time”, which were added to the 2005 reissue “DAVID LIVE”, but also “Future Legend” at the beginning of “Diamond Dogs” is included. The appeal of audience recording is that you can share the same space as Bowie, but on top of that, you can also feel the natural flow of time without any editing. This experience is the real pleasure of vintage audiences. It is a time warp because it is a music work but also a true record. Stand at the scene of “DIAMOND DOGS TOUR”, taste Bowie’s singing voice with a sense of reality, and share time and space. This is a rare masterpiece that allows you to experience the real pleasure of the underground with the superb sound of the legendary taper. Live at Boston Music Hall, Boston, MA.
