Elton John/MA, USA 1993

In 1993, Elton John became a big hit following his revival work “THE ONE” and his planned album “DUETS.” The best soundboard album of the benefit concert that appeared during that time is now available. What is recorded in this work is “September 6, 1993 Foxboro Performance”. This is a stereo soundboard recording when Don Henley appeared at the charity event “WALDEN WOODS BENEFIT CONCERT” launched for nature conservation. The event was a music festival that included Henry, Elton, Sting, AEROSMITH, Jimmy Buffett, and Melissa Etheridge. On the other hand, from Elton’s point of view, while it was part of the activities that were revived with “THE ONE”, it was also a special stage that was different from the regular tour. In order to explain the situation, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time. 1992/May 26th – June 22nd: Europe #1a (19 performances)《“THE ONE” released on June 22nd》 ・June 26th – July 21st: Europe #1b (18 performances)← *LIVE IN BARCELONA August 11th – November 22nd: North America #1/South America (50 performances) February 13th – March 24th, 1993: Oceania/Asia (24 performances) April 9th ​​- May 8th: North America #2 (18 performances) / May 12th – June 20th: Europe #2/Middle East (22 performances) ← *EARLS COURT 1993 [Production of “DUETS” started in August] / September 6th Sunday-October 24th: North America #3 (18 performances) ←★Coco★《“DUETS” released on November 22nd》・December 6th-10th: South Africa (4 performances) This is Elton in 1992/1993 ·John. Speaking of “THE ONE Tour”, there is the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA” and the masterpiece soundboard album “EARLS COURT 1993 (Uxbridge 1379)” which was very popular at our store, but this work is even later. The tour ended with “Europe #2/Middle East” in the summer of 1993, and the appearance of WALDEN WOODS in this work was a concert on the first day of “North America #3” that was held during the production of “DUETS”. Since such a stage is a benefit concert, it will also be broadcast on FM radio. Although it was not very famous because the performance time was less than one hour, it was loved by enthusiasts for its high quality. This work is also an FM sound board, but in fact, the sound is exquisite. Compared to modern standards, the high sound pressure seems very 90’s and I hesitate to call it “completely official grade”, but if it was by the standards of the time, I have no complaints. Even if you push hard, the peaks won’t be distorted, and it’s noiseless and glossy, and even large ensembles can be neatly separated. It is truly the finest FM sound board. What is depicted with that big FM sound is a show that concentrates the glorious revival mood into about an hour. Speaking of the latest soundboard, it is “EARLS COURT 1993” above all else, so let’s organize the set while comparing. 70’s (6 songs) ・My song is your song: Take Me To The Pilot ・Madman: Levon (★) ・Caribbean: The Bitch Is Back (★) / Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me ・Others : Philadelphia Freedom (★) / Pinball Wizard (★: THE WHO) 80’s and later (3 songs)・REG-Strikes Back: I Don’t Wanna Go On With You Like That (★)・The One: Simple Life/The One/The Last Song *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard even in the official video “EARLS COURT 1993”. …and this is how things have changed since “EARLS COURT 1993”. Of the 10 songs that will be performed, half of them are not covered. Moreover, “Levon”, “The Bitch Is Back” and THE WHO cover “Pinball Wizard” are delicious repertoires that are not played even in the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA”. This work itself is an excellent musical work with “good sound, good songs, and good performances,” but when combined with the official works “LIVE IN BARCELONA” and “EARLS COURT 1993,” the moment of revival becomes even more colorful. It is also a sister edition that can be enjoyed with a different repertoire. In terms of number of songs, I would like you to try “EARLS COURT 1993” first, but this work is also a masterpiece that cannot be overlooked as its sequel. Stereo soundboard recording of “September 6, 1993 WALDEN WOODS BENEFIT CONCERT performance”. This was an FM broadcast when Don Henley participated in a charity event, and it was a masterpiece soundboard that had the pushiness typical of the 90s, but without distorting the peaks and being noiseless and glossy. Although it was around the same time as the 1993 masterpiece soundboard “EARLS COURT 1993”, the set is quite different, and only 5 songs overlap. Furthermore, it is a live album where you can enjoy “Levon”, “The Bitch Is Back”, and THE WHO’s cover “Pinball Wizard”, which cannot be heard in the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA”.
