Elton John/Germany 2017

Introducing the super-excellent live album of the “WONDERFUL CRAZY NIGHT TOUR”. The world tour has been going on for a year and a half since January last year. Our shop has been reporting on various live albums since the beginning, but this work is on a different level. This work contains the “July 7, 2017 Berlin performance”. This is the super-excellent audience album. First of all, let’s imagine it from the whole picture of the world tour. [2016] January-March: Warm-up/North America #1 (13 performances) May-July: Middle East #1/Europe #1 (28 performances) September-October: Europe #2/North America #2 (12 performances) November-December: Europe #3 (17 performances) [2017] March-April: North America #3/South America (16 performances) June-July: Europe #4 (27 performances) ←★Here★ September: Europe #5/Australia (7 performances) November: North America #4 (6 performances) December: Europe #4/Middle East #2 (8 performances) This is the schedule that has been announced so far. The Berlin performance of this work is the 19th performance of “Europe #4” and is the “next” concert of “MANNHEIM 2017” which was reported the other day. The biggest point of such a work is the unusually high quality sound. As mentioned above, the world tour has already entered the second half, and our shop has delivered various live albums, including the pro shot and sound board “HYDE PARK 2016”, broadcast sound sources, and the best audience. In fact, the sound of this work is so wonderful that it is hard to describe. The other day’s “MANNHEIM 2017” was a beautiful sound that could be called “like a sound board” and “like an FM broadcast”, but this work wakes you up with a clear and clear sound. Of course, the fierce direct feeling is also vivid, and everything from the sparkling high notes to the low notes that shake the floor of the venue is beautifully captured. What’s even more wonderful is the “sound”. The slightly wrapped acoustics make the performance and singing voices glossy, and it boasts an exquisite balance like a finely polished official album. The official album creates “beauty” through mixing and mastering, but this work realizes that beauty with a one-take audience. It is the “beauty” of the official version, but it is overwhelmingly natural. Elton’s lustrous and deep singing voice stretches out in that sound… Furthermore, audience noise contributes to its beauty. Although I don’t know the exact recording position, the ovations that erupt between songs are clear to each individual, but the grains are strangely small and vast. Of course, the extremely thick performance and singing voice are not disturbed, and the perspective of “Elton and the small crowd” creates a tremendous spectacle. Even the latest audiences with remarkable progress rarely have a sound that surprises them, but this work is a rare ultra-high quality recording. The latest show, where everything is depicted with a wonderful sound, is also a mass of super masterpieces that touch the heart. The 2015 visit to Japan is still fresh in my memory, but at that time, I was able to listen to a group of masterpieces such as the new song “Looking Up” that was not released, as well as “A Good Heart”, “Have Mercy on the Criminal”, “I Want Love”, and “Take Me to the Pilot”. In particular, “Take Me To The Pilot”, “I Want Love” and “Have Mercy On The Criminal” were not available on “HYDE PARK 2016”, which was a representative work of the first half of the 2016 tour. You can enjoy it with the super-excellent sound of the official barefoot. Official, sound board, or audience? It’s just a difference in the recording method and the path to the handheld. The “beauty” of the sound that vibrates the air, the “beauty” of the melody that is spun. “Listen to beautiful music” “Listen to a live performance that breathes” … It is a super masterpiece of a live album that allows you to have the best experience. One that will reign at the top of the “WONDERFUL CRAZY NIGHT TOUR” over many sound boards. Live at Mercedes-Benz Arena, Berlin, Germany 7th July 2017 ULTIMATE SOUND Disc 1(62:49) 1. Intro 2.
