David Bowie/NJ,USA 5.29.2004

“A REALITY TOUR 2003-2004” was the last world tour of his life. From the end, a superb soundboard album full of rare songs will appear. This work was recorded on “May 29, 2004: Atlantic City Performance”. It was Bowie’s last US tour, the final concert. The biggest point of this work is the shocking sound quality, but the contents are also wonderful. To explain that, let’s start with Shaw’s position. This tour is based on the official work “A REALITY TOUR”, but let’s check it out in the overall world tour picture including that. ●August 19, 2003: Warm-up gig [“REALITY” released on September 16]・October 7-December 20: Europe #1 (35 performances) ← *Official ●January, 2004 7th – February 7th: North America #1 (18 performances), February 14th – March 14th: Oceania/Asia (13 performances), March 29th – June 5th: North America #2 (39 performances) )←★Coco★・June 11th – June 25th: Europe #2 (7 performances) [June 25th: Emergency transport due to aneurysm] This is Bowie’s last world tour. While the official “A REALITY TOUR” was in Europe at the beginning, this work is “North America #2” at the end. I hope you can understand that the time and place are completely contrasting. Moreover, the Atlantic City performance of this work is the 34th performance of “North America #2”. It was also the 13th full show from the last in his lifetime. [Soundboard that conveys the final stages of the tour in the highest quality] This work, which records such a show, is a superb soundboard that will wake you up. It has appeared in recent years, and its overwhelming quality has caused an uproar among enthusiasts around the world. In fact, there are lively cheers that seem like audience recordings, so it is said that it is a matrix of IEMs and guest recordings, but it is still a masterpiece. There were masterpieces with similar concepts such as “PANIC IN NEW JERSEY”, “GET ON WITH THE MUSIC: BUFFALO 2004” and “KANSAS CITY 2004”, but this work stands out. Of course, it has an overwhelming sense of directness with no distance at all, and details that shine in every corner, but it’s amazing that it doesn’t have the thinness that is common with IEMs. Both the thick core and the thick sound, the glossy beauty is official quality. That sense of beauty extends to the mix as well. As I have been repeating from earlier, the cheering and applause has a lively audience-like quality, but as each song begins, it disappears quickly, and the super-excellent performance sound dominates everything. The ensemble is also thoroughly arranged, and even though the slight echo processing applied to the vocals is all clear, there is no rough feel. Whether this work originates from IEMs or leaked soundboards, it is at a level that can be officially released as is, rather than at that level. [A show full of rare songs that pairs with the official work] The sound quality alone is overwhelming, but this work is also wonderful up to the contents of the show. The important point here is that the time and place are in contrast to the official work, which I wrote earlier. The set is quite different from the official “A REALITY TOUR” that was at the beginning of the tour, and even “A REALITY TOUR” has plenty of exceptional rare songs. In fact, songs were frequently replaced on this tour, but the ratio of this work is unusually high. At our store, we have introduced the masterpieces of the Japanese performances and each leg, but if you compare each show with the official “A REALITY TOUR”, the difference is only about 3 to 7 songs. . However, this work at the end of the tour has 9 famous songs that cannot be heard officially. “Station To Station,” “Diamond Dogs,” “Suffragette City,” and “Pablo Picasso,” which were unique to the final stages of the tour, could also be heard on “PANIC IN NEW JERSEY” and “KANSAS CITY 2004,” but even more so, “Station To Station,” “Diamond Dogs,” “Suffragette City,” and “Pablo Picasso” could be heard on “PANIC IN NEW JERSEY” and “KANSAS CITY 2004,” but even more reminiscent of the last Japanese tour. They also played “Looking For Water”, “Quicksand”, and “Queen Bitch” and “Modern Love”, which had stopped several times on “A REALITY TOUR”. The ultimate one would be “The Bewlay Brothers” from “HUNKY DORY.” Although it was first performed in 2002, it is an extremely rare number that can only be performed with one hand. You can enjoy a show full of such delicious songs on the official quality sound board. It is a transcendental soundboard album that is a companion to the official work “A REALITY TOUR”. Not only the beginning and end of the tour, Europe and America, but also the sets are completely different. By combining the official work and this work, you can see the true appearance of “A REALITY TOUR 2003-2004”. Of course, since it is a great masterpiece comparable to the official work, it should be enjoyed forever in the same way.
