Gary Moore/London,UK 2.11.1984 Upgrade

There are many live sound sources that color Gary Moore’s hard rock era, but among them, the classic FM sound board sound source that all fans can’t avoid will be revived with the highest quality ever! Following the release of his new album ‘VICTIMS OF THE FUTURE’, Gary will begin a UK tour starting with a performance in Cardiff on February 4th. The members at the time were drummer Ian Paice, who remained with the band following the 1983 tour, and long-time collaborator Neil Carter, who played keyboards and side guitar, and Neil Murray, who had returned to WHITESNAKE. Craig Groover, formerly of ELF (and RAINBOW), who is known for his outstanding technique, was appointed as the replacement bassist. The band lineup for the 1983 tour was described by enthusiasts as “COLOSSEUM?” due to its member composition, but the lineup at the beginning of 1984 was no less talented, and the band still showed high performance ability. I was proud. The seventh performance of the tour recorded in this sound source, the London Hammersmith Odeon performance on February 11th, was broadcast on the radio, and some of the takes that were officially recorded at this time were included in the official live work “WE”. WANT MOORE!” This live was broadcast not only in the UK but also in various countries, and various collector’s items based on each air check source appeared. These are known by fans as standard FM sound sources to this day. This new work uses a German broadcast sound source as the master, and the sound quality is clean, with unnecessary impurities such as petit noise and hiss noise removed. Not only the sense of separation of the sound, but also the clarity of the treble and the power of the bass are wonderful, and it has a quality that sets it apart from the same sound source in the past. It seems that the original recording used for this sound source was different from the one used for broadcasting, and the sound feels different from the conventional sources. Also, the song order that was different from the actual one in the previous release is recorded here in accordance with the correct set list at that time. The excellent content that even avid Gary maniacs will definitely be interested in is definitely a must-listen for all fans. Backed by the heavy rhythm built by Pace and Craig, and Carter’s spacey and profound keyboard, Gary’s guitar is at its best from the first song, “Wishing Well.” The wild and raging hardness of “Murder In The Skies” is beyond imagination, and anyone who listens to this performance will be in agony! In 1985’s “RUN FOR COVER,” the band’s sound seemed to have become too glittery, but in 1984, the band’s sound has been built around the guitar play, and it has become manly (in a good way) and solid. You can listen to the development of the song. The shift from the ’70s emphasis on interplay to a calculated and constructed performance is very reminiscent of the ’80s, and the splendor of “Cold Hearted” and “Don’t Take Me For A Loser” is , you can also feel Gary’s perfectionist side. “So Far Away” to “Empty Rooms” are highlights that decorate the middle. Gary’s unique glossy and firm tone is exquisite, and the many musical sounds he creates by incorporating this tone with delicate and emotional play are sure to warm fans’ hearts with new emotions no matter how many times he listens to it. . If there is a drawback to this work, it is only one point that it is incomplete recording because it is a broadcast sound source. However, the important parts of the live performance, such as “End Of The World”, “Back On The Streets”, and even the first encore song “Nuclear Attack”, are clearly captured, and the main part’s recording time of just over 56 minutes is enough to make it worth listening to. there is. (In addition, you can listen to the complete audience recording of this Hammersmith Odeon performance on the same day in “VICTIMS AT HAMMERSMITH”, which will be re-released as a gift title on the remastered version. This title was released in the old version era. It can be said to be “another great classic” that sold out immediately, and by comparing the audience source recorded there with the line sound source of this work, there will be new discoveries.) ’84 at the end. This is a recording of the studio live performance on the BBC music program “Friday Rock Show”, which was held on January 27, 2019, prior to the start of the full-scale tour. Although only 3 tracks are recorded, they are all a series of wonderful takes that rival the main Hammersmith performance, and not only the performance content but also the official mix and sound quality are also superb! All three songs were new songs at the time, and the live take, which was the first time for most fans who listened to them in real time, is valuable. In particular, many fans were surprised because “So Far Away”, which was featured at the beginning of “Empty Rooms”, was not included in the album. At the beginning of the ’84 tour, this live sound source is in a particularly important position in Gary’s career as a bridge between the two official live works of “ROCKIN’ EVERY NIGHT” and “WE WANT MOORE”. . The value of this sound source, which captures the entire performance from February 1984, when the band’s playing ability was at a high level, on the best soundboard, is a must-listen for everyone from light fans to heavy collectors, and is truly a class of permanent preservation version. There is no harm in saying that. Live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK 11th February 1984 STEREO SBD(UPGRADE) 1. Wishing Well 2. Murder In The Skies 3. Shape Of Things 4. Cold Hearted 5.
