Description
[First public release of the best audience master of the 1985 London performance!] The content is the first public sound source that completely recorded the two days of the Wembley Arena 2DAYS performance in London on March 5, 1985 with a clear and wide stereo audience recording. This sound quality not only boasts a quality approaching that of a soundboard recording, but is also a superb master with a perfect stereo feeling. Since the heavyweight taper himself recorded it locally, you can enjoy it with a wonderful quality that does not shame the name. [The precious stage of the early BEHIND THE SUN tour] Let me review Clapton’s activities around the time of the album “BEHIND THE SUN”, which was the basis of this tour. It is as follows. <March-April 1984: Recording of the album “BEHIND THE SUN”> · June-July 1984: Participation in the “Pros And Cons Of Hitch-Hiking” European & North American tour with Roger Waters <Autumn 1984: Additional recording of the album “BEHIND THE SUN”> · November-December 1984: Oceania & Hong Kong tour · February 1985: Tour rehearsals at Brixton Academy, England · February 27-March 15, 1985: UK & Northern Europe tour ←★Here★ <March 1, 1985: Release of the album “BEHIND THE SUN”> · April-May 1985: First leg of the US tour After finishing the final recording in the fall of 1984 and completing the album, Clapton went on a tour of Oceania & Hong Kong without waiting for the album’s release. He must have been eager to show off his new songs. It shows how confident he was about this album. As with the album, this tour was performed with ex-Quatermass keyboardist Peter Robinson on synthesizers and a double keyboard setup with Chris Stinton, but when it came to the live stage, the synthesizer featured in reproducing the songs on the album sounded a bit off. That’s where the album’s current low evaluation comes in, and it was a sound that was so-called “un-Clapton-like.” Sensing this, Clapton decided that he needed a second guitar after all, and persuaded Tim Renwick, whom he met on Roger Waters’ tour in 1984, to join. Then, when they went to rehearsal, the sound returned to something that Clapton was satisfied with. So they went on a tour of the UK and Northern Europe, including this London performance. Clapton, who felt a particularly strong response from the first day’s performance in his hometown of London, went into the second day’s performance in high spirits. The number of songs played was greater than the previous day’s performance, and the encore included one more song, You Don’t Know Like I Know (a number that was omitted from the recording of “Behind the Sun” during recording). In addition, on this day, Dan Ackroyd, an actor who is also a talented musician (a famous comedic actor from the movies “The Blues Brothers” and “Ghost Busters”. He also performed in “The Blues Brothers” with bassist Donald Duck Dan, who was in Clapton’s band at the time. The correct pronunciation is “Ackroyd”, but Clapton, who introduces him, says “Ackroyd”), appeared and introduced the members in the MC at the end of the encore, and there is also the topic of him performing a raging blues harp and vocals in this song. Clapton was also familiar with the movie “The Blues Brothers” and later appeared in “The Blues Brothers 2000”, so this collaboration with Ackroyd must have been a memorable one for Clapton as well. Apart from these highlights, the stage on this day is full of listening pleasure because Clapton is in good form. The performance of the new song Same Old Blues, which was also a highlight of the previous day’s performance, was also amazing! A breathtaking performance is piled up. Although he used a Les Paul for this song the day before, he played Blackie from start to finish on this day, so he also played Blackie for this song (Clapton’s look on this day was white pants and a pale blue short-sleeved open-collar shirt). And he played until the end of the encore. The real excitement of the audience, which was not clear on the sound board’s existing version, is vividly conveyed on this board. If you are a maniac, you will want to listen not only to the sound board but also to this audience source. This is the best master that has been released for the first time. The first appearance original master provided by the recorder. The sound quality and content are amazing!
