Jam,The Jam/NY,USA 1980

THE JAM accelerated further towards its climax even in the 1980s. The highest peak master of legendary recordings that allow you to experience such a harsh scene is here. This work is recorded in “February 29, 1980 New York performance”. It is a superb audience recording recorded at the traditional famous venue “The Palladium” … probably. I’m sorry to suddenly become weak-minded, but it is a super powerful sound like a sound board that I’m afraid to assert. Before the quality of the show, let’s start with the position. Speaking of 1980, the “SETTING SONS Tour” / “SOUND AFFECTS Tour” will switch depending on the time, and the meaning of the recording will also be very different. Let’s check from the activity overview at that time. 1979, February 16th – March 8th: Europe #1 (10 shows) ←※Official READING 1979, April 10th – 24th: North America #1 (8 shows) ・May 4th – June 9th: UK #1 (16 shows) 《October 10th “Setting Sands” Production》 ・November 2nd – December 29th: UK #2 (30 shows) ←※Official BRIGHTON / RAINBOW 1980, February 11th – 15th: UK #3 (4 shows) ・February 27th – March 25th: North America #2 (13 shows) ←★Here★ ・April 7th – June 21st: Europe #2 (11 shows) ←※PINKPOP 1980 July 4-8: Japan (3 shows) July 2-August 9: Europe #3 (4 shows) October 18: Bromley show (October 22: “Sound Affects” completed) October 26-December 12: Europe #4 (37 shows) ←※Official NEW CASTLE 1980 This is THE JAM in 1979/1980. Most of 1980 was the “SETTING SONS Tour”, and only the final “Europe #4” was the “SOUND AFFECTS Tour”. The Palladium performance in this work is the former. It was the third concert of “North America #2”. This work, which vacuum-packed such a scene, is a thick recording that goes “like a sound board”. Anyway, the core is dense and there is no sense of distance, and it’s a crisp and gory. It’s not just powerful, but the details are extremely fine, each sound is clearly cut, and the sense of separation is enormous. When it comes to the silent parts between songs, it even picks up the electromagnetic noise of “jiji…” that the on-site PA is likely to be spitting out. The soundboard album “PINKPOP 1980” from the same period has also been well received, but this work does not give in one step. No, it even wins in the beauty of the well-balanced ensemble. Moreover, this work is also the highest peak of such a thick recording. The master was provided by an overseas THE JAM researcher, and the sound is very natural. The conventional master had rough dubbing marks and was a bit difficult to listen to because of the sound pressure, but this work is a lustrous sweet sound while retaining its strength. Such a thick beautiful sound depicts a stage that seems to be running up and up. This work is a thick soundboard recording, so let’s organize it in comparison with “PINKPOP 1980”. All Mod Cons (8 songs) It’s Too Bad (★) / Mr. Clean / To Be Someone (Didn’t We Have A Nice Time) / Down In The Tube Station At Midnight (★) / The Place I Love (★★) / All Mod Cons / David Watts / “A” Bomb On Wardour Street Others (11 songs) Setting Sands: Saturday’s Kids / Burning Sky / Thick As Thieves / Private Hell / Little Boy Soldiers / Smithers-Jones / The Eton Rifles Singles: The Dreams Of Children (★★) / The Butterfly Collector (★) / Strange Town (★) / When You’re Young (★) *Note: The “★” mark is a song that could not be heard on our soundboard “PINKPOP 1980”. In particular, the “★★” marks are songs that were not even on the excavated version “LIVE AT THE BRIGHTON CENTRE DECEMBER 1979”. …And so it goes. In fact, it is a set that is very similar to the official “LIVE AT THE BRIGHTON CENTRE DECEMBER 1979” from about two months ago, but it also features “The Place I Love” and “The Dreams Of Children”, which were not performed there (by the way, these two songs are not even in the repertoire of the Rainbow Theater SBD that was made official by “SETTING SONS” Dela Eddie). And the performance that spells out such a set is scorching hot! It seems that the day was quite exciting, and according to the materials, it was such a great success that they even did “Private Hell” for the second time in the third encore (this work is recorded up to the second encore before that). In fact, what comes out of this work is a great performance that supports that anecdote. This is a super thick and neat masterpiece live album that still shines specially in the heyday of the “SETTING SONS Tour” where sound boards are crowded. A new masterpiece that combines the liveliness unique to the audience with the listening response of a sound board. The best audience recording of the “February 29, 1980 New York performance”. The highest peak master provided by an overseas researcher, it has a super thick feeling that goes “like a sound board” and a natural beauty. This is a new masterpiece that allows you to experience the delicious heyday of “The Place I Love” and “The Dreams Of Children”, which can not be heard even in the official “LIVE AT THE BRIGHTON CENTRE DECEMBER 1979”.
