David Bowie/UK 2003 2Days

Introducing an audience set that completely records the two best recordings of Bowie’s last world tour “A REALITY TOUR 2003”. This work was recorded on “November 19th and 20th, 2003.” This is a 4-disc set containing two consecutive days of “Birmingham NEC” performances by the same recording artist. The recorder is a person who lives in the UK and always provides authentic British recordings, and is well known at our store as a “regular master.” When it comes to recordings of masters, most of them are the latest British recordings, but he is also a big Bowie fan. This work is one of his treasured collections, and was sent to him with the request that his Japanese fans should listen to it. This is a gem that was made directly into CD from the original master. The master Bowie fan himself selected it and said, “Please try this”, and the sound of this work is outstanding even in his collection. It is a taper that is good at both clear musical tone and on-site feeling, but while the usual flavor is abundant, the sound that is closer to clarity than usual shines brightly. The nuances of the guitar picking are conveyed, and the vibrant feeling of each drum beat and each bass note is refreshing. And of course, the rawness of Bowie’s vocals is the best. Even though there was a strong sense of space in the venue, the singing voice was so clear that you could even hear the sound of the singer’s breathing coming into the microphone. Even though you can see the details like a soundboard, there is no whiteness. This exquisite and mysterious sound is what makes this master a master. There are customers who love this sound and ask for his work, even if it’s a band they’re not particularly interested in. It’s such a unique and high quality sound. This time, of the two-day consecutive performance of “Birmingham NEC”, the first day “November 19th” was placed on disks 1 and 2, and the second day “November 20th” was placed on disks 3 and 4, but both are masters. The sound is great considering it’s the work of the artist, but I’m also happy that each one has its own individuality. The great thing about “First Day” is its vividness. The excitement was tremendous from the beginning. As soon as Bowie appeared, a ferocious enthusiasm swirled, and with the intro of “Rebel Rebel”, it became a great commotion. The bastard loudly shouts “Come on!!” and the woman screams as she tears through the silk. It seems like it’s happening in the distance, but then it explodes up close, with whistles and lyrics flying everywhere. Since it is a live album, there is no visual sense, but it seems as if you can see the moment Bowie appears and where he is pointing from the stage. When you write this, you might think of a sound where everything was drowned out by furious cheers, but of course that’s not the case. A cool and dandy singing voice dominates the loud cheers. Also, it is not true that such enthusiasm covers the entire story. The audience, which had been furious, began to calm down as they approached “Reality,” and the sound became a splendid live performance, with clear playing and singing voices coming to the forefront. When this happens, the beauty of the master sound will be fully opened, and the passionate band and Bowie will fill everything. Also, the song selection on “First Day” is delicious. This tour also has the official live album “A REALITY TOUR”, but the recording dates are “November 22nd and 23rd”. This work is the concert just before that, so the set list is quite close. In fact, almost all the songs on the “2nd day” overlap with “A REALITY TOUR,” but on this “first day,” you can also listen to “Jean Genie,” “Fashion,” and “Suffragette City,” which are not on the official edition. It can be done. Now, the replacement disks 3 and 4 are “2nd day”. The taste here is a superb sound that even exceeds the “first day”. At the beginning of the “first day”, there was an explosion of enthusiasm, but on the “second day”, the taste of the master’s sound was as beautiful as ever from the start! It overflows. Moreover, the luster and clarity of the bass is half a step above the “first day” and even more gorgeous. That’s why I want to proudly call it “just like a sound board.” As a result, we settled on a 4-disc set where the reality of the “first day” could not be abandoned, but the sound of this “second day” is so wonderful. If you are a fan of sound quality, it may be better to listen to discs 3 and 4 first. The passionate performance that unfolds with that sound is also very good. Although the set list is closer to “A REALITY TOUR” than the “first day”, the official version does not have the sense of unity of one performance that is different from the edited official version, and the natural flow that can only be achieved with a one-shot audience recording. thing. There’s such a sense of fulfillment that pervades the entire album that I’d even like to call it “the 100% version of ‘A REALITY TOUR’.” Furthermore, it is also Gail Ann Dorsey’s birthday, so you can listen to a heartwarming birthday song after “Under Pressure”. This is a great recording that the master, who is an enthusiastic Bowie fan, recommends to Japanese Bowie fans as a must-have. You can listen to it as a 100% original version of the official live album, or you can get excited by mixing it with the enthusiasm unique to your home country. Because he truly loves Bowie, he knows music and acoustics well, and his desire to record well is evident. This is a masterpiece that has transformed the thoughts of a master craftsman into quality. A 4-disc set that brings out the feeling of “Bowie is the best, isn’t it?” flowing from the speakers across the ocean. I would like to say this again on behalf of the master. “For you!” The NEC, Birmingham, UK 19th & 20th November 2003 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) The NEC, Birmingham, UK 19th November 2003 Disc 1 (71:42) 1.
