Hall & Oates/PA, USA 1991

Hall & Oates from the “CHANGE OF SEASON” era reconsidered their roots. A shocking soundboard album that vacuum-packs such a moment with transcendent quality is a new discovery. The shocking work includes “February 17, 1991 Upper Darby Performance”. This is a newly discovered stereo soundboard recording recorded at the famous traditional venue “Tower Theater” (“Tower Theater” is famous worldwide as a venue in Philadelphia, but the exact location is adjacent to the city border) Upper Darby side). The biggest impact of this work is the sound quality of the shocking thing, but first of all, the position of the show. “CHANGE OF SEASON TOUR” was a large-scale tour that lasted two years and even came to Japan twice. Let’s take a look at the big picture. ●1990《“CHANGE OF SEASON” released on March 9th》・April 21st + May 5th: Event appearance (3 performances)・July 15th-20th: Japan #1 (4 performances)・August 25th – September 5th: UK (8 performances) October 19th – December 4th: Europe (22 performances) January 26th – August 10th, 1991: North America #1 (58 performances) ←★Coco★・September 11: Mexico performance・September 19-October 22: Oceania/Japan #2 (20 performances)・November 8-17: North America #2 (9 performances)●1992 April 10th + 16th: North America #3 (2 performances) June 22nd – July 12th: North America #4 (10 performances) This is Hall & Oates from 1990 to 1992. Roughly speaking, 1990 was a tour of Europe, and 1991/1992 was a tour of North America and also Oceania. Under such circumstances, the Tower Theater performance of this work was the 7th performance of “North America #1” at the beginning of the American version. This work, which records such a show, is a super superb stereo sound board that will shock you. Recently, we have introduced new excavation masters of superb soundboards such as U.K.’s “WILMINGTON 2012” and JETHRO TULL’s “WEMBLEY STADIUM 1990”, but this work was also released by the same person. If you’ve experienced the two works above, you’ll probably be impressed by the quality, but the quality is shocking. The direct feeling that it seems to have been recorded directly from the mix table has a strange dimension, and all the notes of all instruments are straight. The chord cutting of the guitar feels like each vibrating string, and the bass played by Kasim Salton, formerly of UTOPIA, has a bucking bucking sound. As for the vocals, not only the two main actors, but even the chorus is at a breathing level, and even the finger snaps picked up by the microphone are clear. It is a type of so-called “official grade sound board”, but its dynamism far exceeds even official works. The official live version has a balance for home playback and a production mix that reproduces the atmosphere of a concert, but this work has no specifications for home use because it is directly connected to a desk. Since it is connected directly to the desk, the moment when the on-site mix or effects change may be rough, but even that is extremely realistic and can be perfectly synchronized with the bare performance and singing voice. Moreover, this work has carefully mastered the original sound. In the first place, the original sound was so perfect that it couldn’t be touched, but there was some slight noise in some parts, such as “Abandoned Luncheonette”. In this work, such wounds are completely treated. It is a live album that has refined the highest peak of direct-to-the-table sound into the ultimate form of the Far North sound. The show drawn on such a shocking stereo sound board is also amazing. Speaking of “CHANGE OF SEASON TOUR”, it was a tour that evolved from MTV UNPLUGGED, but the songs played were also full of rare songs. Let’s organize the contents here. ●ABANDONED LUNCHEONETTE (3 songs)・She’s Gone, Las Vegas Turnaround (The Stewardess Song), Abandoned Luncheonette ●H2O (2 songs)・One on One, Maneater ●CHANGE OF SEASON (6 songs)・Starting All Over Again, Change of Season, Don’t Hold Back Your Love, Sometimes A Mind Changes, Only Love, Everywhere I Look ●Others (11 songs) 70’s: Fall In Philadelphia (WHOLE OATS), Sarah Smile (DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES), Back Together Again (BIGGER THAN BOTH OF US), Wait For Me (X-STATIC) ・80s: Everytime You Go Away (VOICES), I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do) (PRIVATE EYES), Say It Isn ‘t So (ROCK’N’SOUL: PART 1), Out of Touch (BIG BAM BOOM), Someone Like You (THREE HEARTS IN THE HAPPY ENDING MACHINE), Keep On Pushin’ Love (OOH YEAH!) ・Cover: Come Back Baby (Walter Davis) …and it goes like this. Although it features the new work “CHANGE OF SEASON” at the time, the other masterpieces are diverse. For the time being, his representative works “ABANDONED LUNCHEONETTE” and “H2O” are thick, but not so biased that they cover a wide range of songs from his debut to his career, including Darryl’s solo songs. “Someone Like You” is also extremely rare, but there are also “Fall In Philadelphia” from his debut, “Keep On Pushin’ Love” from “OOH YEAH!” and even “Don’t Hold Back Your” from “CHANGE OF SEASON”. Love”, “Sometimes A Mind Changes”, “Only Love”, “Everywhere I Look”, etc., and so many unusual songs that you can’t usually hear are played. The ultimate song is “Come Back Baby”. This is not a hit song by PLAYER that is debated among enthusiasts…it’s Walter Davis’ slow blues. Bob Dylan & Carolyn Hester’s and Aretha Franklin’s versions are also famous standards, but the Hall & Oates version only has a record of this day. You can enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime singing voice on the fastball sound board. Anyway, the sound quality is excellent. This is the ultimate live album with a shockingly transcendent stereo sound board that has been refined to an ironclad level. A two-disc set that can be perfectly synchronized with valuable masterpieces due to its quality. Tower Theatre, Upper Darby, PA, USA 17th February 1991 STEREO SBD Disc 1(68:05) 1.
