Description
From the autumn 1999 UK tour accompanying the release of Gary Moore’s “A DIFFERENT BEAT”, the super high-quality audience recording that will appear for the first time will be released as a two-performance set that will surprise fans! This work uses the same taper as “MONSTERS OF ROCK TAPES”, which will be released at the same time, and uses an original DAT master that is not available anywhere else in the world, so you can enjoy the rare ’99 tour with realistic sound to your heart’s content. receive! After the release of “BLUES FOR GREENY” in 1995, Gary declared that “his next album will not be a blues album,” indicating his desire to take on a new direction. True to his words, in “DARK DAYS IN PARADISE” released in 1997, Gary focused on the song itself and vocals rather than his own guitar, and also incorporated rhythms and technology that were popular at the time. He created an uproar among his fans by presenting works that overturned the traditional image of Gary as a guitarist, such as by expanding his sound. Two years later, in 1999, they released “A DIFFERENT BEAT”, which returned to a guitar-centered album, but further promoted the use of popular technology. The experimental and bold style, which includes modern beats and beat-based songs, has fans from the hard rock era as well as fans who have turned to the blues wondering, “Is this really Gary’s work?” It had a strong impact. The UK tour accompanying the album release started with the Wolverhampton performance on October 19th, but due to the reputation of the album, almost no live recordings from this tour were released. The only thing that can be confirmed is “THE BLUES IS STARTING POINT”, an item that appeared long ago, and this was also a show on the ’00 tour. This work that appears this time is a particularly early live performance from the “A DIFFERENT BEAT” tour, and the live performance in the fall of 1999, which is probably unknown even to enthusiastic fans, is a super album that can even be released as a press CD. Packaged with the finest line-level sound quality! Discs 1 and 2 include the Manchester performance on October 22, 1999, the third performance from the start of the UK tour. The cheers from the audience from the opening intro create an extremely realistic feeling, and the clear outlook and natural spread of the sound convince the listener of outstanding high-quality sound the moment “Walking By Myself” begins. Probably. The clear highs and rich lows, and the separation of instruments that resembles a line sound source, are also great. Gary’s guitar, which approaches with a fat, thick sound, differs from the mechanical impression of the album, and has a unique warm blues tone. After capturing the audience with “Walking By Myself” and “Oh Pretty Woman,” the third song was “Lost In Your Love,” chosen from the new album. The song’s concept of melodious singing intertwined with a tough beat is one of the outstanding songs in “A DIFFERENT BEAT”, and the flowing and hard guitar solo in the second half is a famous scene that reminds us of the 1980s. This solo will surely captivate many fans. “Need Your Love So Bad” and “I Loved Another Woman” selected from “BLUES FOR GREENY” have wonderful support from keyboardist Vic Martin and drummer Darin Mooney, creating a warm and deep atmosphere. You can enjoy it. Along with “Still Got The Blues” at the end of Disc 1, these are great listening spots in this work! Although the opening song “Fire” on Disc 2 is compact, after “The Sky Is Crying” the performance continues for almost 10 minutes, and both of them are featured with Gary’s guitar that is unbearable to listen to. The lustrous guitar and crazy passion that can be heard in the last song “Parisienne Walkways” has a realistic and clear superb sound quality, making it one of the most moving live takes of the same song! This sound source records the situation at the venue for about 2 minutes even after the live performance. In this scene, enjoy the best afterglow while surrendering to the outro and the noise of the audience! What you can enjoy on Discs 3 and 4 is the performance at Newcastle City Hall on October 26th, which is the fifth performance of the tour. The set list and atmosphere of the performance are the same as the Manchester performance, but the dynamic acoustics here give you a sense of the scale of the venue, and the bass that hits your stomach is very powerful. The recording, which is full of a sense of large scale and has a different personality from the sound of the Manchester performance, which had a sense of unity, is wonderful. From the familiar intro, Gary shouts “You Know!” at the beginning of “Walking By Myself”, which has a realistic three-dimensional feel as if you were listening to it at a live venue. Along with “Lost In Your Love” where the big acoustics envelop the listener in a spacey expanse, this sound source is a series of takes that I want even fans of the ’80s who are not familiar with Moore of the blues to listen to. The thick and heavy sound enhances blues numbers with a deeper richness, and you can enjoy the ’90s classics “Since I Met You Baby” and “All Your Love” with a performance that makes you think they are official sound sources. “Surrender”, which is sandwiched between these two songs, is a new song from “A DIFFERENT BEAT”, but the mellow and moody song development doesn’t feel out of place even alongside standard numbers, and it continues for 10 minutes with Gary’s unique melody and tears. You can listen to In the second half of the live, the best swinging groove and groove was brought out in “Too Tired”, “Further On Up The Road” and “The Blues Is Alright”, and a bright and fun mood engulfed the entire venue. If people who tend to associate the blues with crying or darkness listen to this, they will be surprised by the unexpectedly bright atmosphere on stage and in the venue, and wonder if the blues is inherently fun. It will probably be changed. You can enjoy Gary’s playing and the charm of the blues to your heart’s content for about 2 hours until the live performance reaches its grand conclusion at “Parisienne Walkways”! Many people may have avoided Gary from this era, but in both recordings, Gary showed off his unique guitar sound and playing, clearly distinguishing between his experimental albums and his live performances. You will understand. This work, which documents two of the already precious ’99 live shows with even more agony-level high sound quality, is a must-listen for fans who are even slightly interested in Gary history! This is a must-have disc for fans that we confidently recommend, as it truly embodies the idea that “seeing is believing.” We would like you to experience this first-class live performance with your ears!
