Echo & the Bunnymen/NY,USA 1984

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN were in the midst of their heyday during the “OCEAN RAIN” era. Here is a live album that will let you experience the stage at its finest. This work is recorded from the “August 20, 1984 New York performance”. It is a superb audience recording recorded at the famous venue “Beacon Theater”. Speaking of 1984, it is not only the release of “OCEAN RAIN”, but also the two visits to Japan that are memorable. First of all, let’s look back on their journey and check the position of the show.・January 12-18: Japan #1 (4 performances) ・March 15-April 1: North America #1 (16 performances) ・April 4+5: France (2 performances) 《May 4th “OCEAN RAIN” released》 ・May 12-26: Europe (8 performances) ←※Liverpool footage ・August 10-September 9: North America #2 (21 performances) ←★Here★ ・September 15-October 24: UK (30 performances) ・November 24-30: Japan #2 (5 performances) This is ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN in 1984. It started and ended in Japan, but at the same time, they actively toured North America. The New York performance of this work was the 8th performance of “North America #2” after the release of “OCEAN RAIN”. This work recorded at such a show is truly the best audience. The nuances of the sound and the vivid cheers do not mistake it for a sound board, but the clarity and strength of the core make you want to mistake it. The transparent air conveys every detail beautifully, and there is no sparse feeling in the dense core that seems to feel like a response. Moreover, it is not just line-like, but the taste unique to the audience is also solid, so I’m happy. The slight hall sound brightens the core, giving the performance sound and singing voice thickness and dynamism. Realistic presence and the beauty of only the on-site sound. It is a famous recording that allows you to enjoy both sides deliciously. Such beautiful sound depicts the full show of ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, who was in the middle of the heyday. The “OCEAN RAIN Tour” is famous for the multi-camera pro shot of the Liverpool performance, and “LIVERPOOL MAY 1984” is popular. Let’s organize it by comparing it here.・Crocodiles: Rescue (★) / All That Jazz / Crocodiles / Do It Clean (★) ・Heaven Up Here: Over The Wall (★) / With A Hip (★) / A Promise (★) / Heaven Up Here ・Porcupine: Heads Will Roll / The Cutter ・Ocean Rain: My Kingdom (★) / Nocturnal Me (★) / Ocean Rain / The Killing Moon / Thorn Of Crowns ・Single: Angels And Devils (★) / Never Stop *Note: The “★” mark indicates a song that could not be heard in the pro shot “LIVERPOOL MAY 1984”. …And so on. While covering a wide range of four albums, the set is quite different from the Liverpool performance, three months apart, so you can understand that it is a very diverse selection. Speaking of 1984, our store also brings to mind the famous press album “THE KILLING MOON IN TOKYO” from their first visit to Japan, but “Rescue,” “With A Hip,” “A Promise,” “My Kingdom,” “Nocturnal Me,” and “Angels And Devils” are repertoires that you can’t hear even on that famous album. This is a live album that even those who own the standard titles can enjoy freshly. ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN had a series of single hits and enjoyed the wind of the golden age with their whole body. This is a superb live album that allows you to experience them at their peak. If you experienced the performance in Japan at that time, your memories will be vividly revived, and for those who did not, the unreachable space of longing will flow directly from the speakers. This is a superb audience recording of “Beacon Theater on August 20, 1984”. The clear air conveys every detail beautifully, and there is no sparse feeling in the dense core that seems to feel like it’s being handled. It’s not just line-like, but also has a strong flavor unique to the audience, and the slight hall sound brightens the core, giving the performance sound and singing voice thickness and dynamism. You can enjoy a full show with plenty of repertoire that you can’t hear even in the classic River Pull performance pro shot or the famous album “THE KILLING MOON IN TOKYO” from the first visit to Japan.
