Fleetwood Mac/CA,USA 8.30.1977

Mike Millard’s new excavation master series is shaking the world. The latest bullet is now available. Up until now, there have been a series of shocking works by LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD, QUEEN, etc., but the main character this time is FLEETWOOD MAC. It is also a full live album from their heyday, when they quickly rose to become the darlings of the era with “Fantastic Mac” and “Rumours.” This work was recorded “August 30, 1977 Los Angeles performance”. This is an audience recording recorded about two months later at the same “THE FORUM” as “LISTEN TO THIS EDDIE”. Speaking of “Mike Millard,” the taper is a legend among legends and a symbol of concert recording history. Its design is widely known in the collector world, but the newly discovered group of recent excavations overturns conventional wisdom. Until now, the original masters of the Millard Collection were thought to have been lost, and the established theories were that they were burned by the artist himself before his death, or that his family disposed of them without knowing their value. However, at the end of 2019, the truth was discovered. The original masters that were supposed to have been lost were found one after another. Along with this, FLOYD’s legendary recordings were also upgraded, but at the same time, what was shocking was that many recordings that were completely released for the first time were also unearthed. At our store, QUEEN’s shocking work “L.A. FORUM 1977 2ND NIGHT: MIKE MILLARD ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES” has been a huge hit, but this work is also a hidden treasure that has not been well known. Before we get into the details, let’s talk about the show’s position. Let’s look back at the schedule in 1977, when it entered its heyday. 1977《Rumour” released on February 4th》 February 24th – April 1st: North America #1 (14 performances) April 2nd – 26th: Europe (15 performances) – May 1st – July 24th: North America #2 (29 performances) August 15th-October 4th: North America #3 (25 performances)←★Coco★ November 6th-23rd: Oceania (9 performances)・11 Monday 6th – December 10th: First visit to Japan/Hawaii (5 performances) July 17th – August 30th, 1978: North America #4 (17 performances) This is the overall picture of “RUMOURS TOUR”. In 1977, the legendary first visit to Japan was realized, but the Los Angeles performance of this work was about two months before that. This was the 6th concert of the main event of the world tour, “North America #3”. This work recorded at such a show is the very design of “Mike The Mike”. Overall, it is similar to the QUEEN edition from half a year ago, and it is a beautiful recording that will melt your heart with its exquisite sound. The direct feeling of the on-core is great, and the details are also super delicate. I would say that Stevie Nicks’s singing voice is amazing as it grows on top of the perfect performance sound with a sense of separation. The reason for this is Millard’s natural talent, but in this work it also seems to be due to the power of his position. Apparently, this show was recorded in the second row right in front of the stage, and the sense of closeness is overwhelming. Of course, the area near the front is not necessarily the best for recording, but there is no way Millard has to worry about that. You can’t feel any echoing of the sound at all, and only the direct feeling of the flavor is utilized beautifully. Another factor that seems to be the second row is the enthusiasm on the set. Since FLEETWOOD MAC is at the peak of its popularity, it has a lot more real enthusiasm than the usual mirrored collection. Furthermore, being in the second row also means being in front of security. As usual, he appeared in a wheelchair, which made him stand out. They probably couldn’t get people around them to take their money and keep them quiet. Of course, even though it is a lot, it is a story in the Mirrored Collection, and (just like the QUEEN edition) it is also a delicious real recording of the mood of the peak of popularity itself. What is depicted with such a sound is a full show of FLEETWOOD MAC, who is currently enjoying spring in our world. Speaking of them in their heyday, there is also the traditional official version “Fleetwood Mac Live”, but that is a compilation work assembled from multiple tours, whereas this work is an audience recording that penetrates at once. The experience is great, but the set is also vastly different. Let’s compare and organize them here. Fantastic Mac (8 songs)・Say You Love Me/Monday Morning/Rhiannon/Landslide/Over My Head/I’m So Afraid/World Turning (★)/Blue Letter (★)Rumor (9 songs)・Dreams/Oh Daddy (★) / Never Going Back Again / Gold Dust Woman (★) / You Make Loving Fun (★) / Go Your Own Way / The Chain (★) / Second Hand News (★) / Songbird (★) Others: Oh Well *Note: Songs marked with a ★ are not available on the official version of Fleetwood Mac Live. …and it looks like this. A concentrated version of two great albums that are in the midst of huge hits, “Fantastic Mac” and “Rumour.” He plays most of the songs from both albums, with the only exception being the 1969 single “Oh Well.” With “Dreams”, which reached number one in the United States, as a written response, they will perform a rich set that was unique to that time, at its full freshness. Moreover, not only is each song dazzling, but the enthusiasm that is born from the accumulation of these songs is wonderful, and that enthusiasm makes the stage even more heated. Although it has a superb sound that rivals the official version of “Fleetwood Mac Live,” it is a live album that allows you to fully experience a special show with a more natural experience. This is the first publicly available master in which the legendary taper recorded the climax full show. Their sound is worthy of being called “MAC’s Eddie,” and the content of their live shows is richer than their best albums. Even if you have no interest in recording history, you’ll be captivated by the show’s superb sound, and even if you let a friend who doesn’t know about audience recordings listen to it, they won’t think it’s an official live album. Sho. A super masterpiece like that. Live at the Forum, Inglewood, CA, USA 30th August 1977 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc 1 (48:52) 1. Intro 2. Say You Love Me 3. Monday Morning 4. Dreams 5. Oh Well 6.
