A matrix album that will pour into your brain the tour that was not left behind in the official live album is here. This work was recorded at the “Vienne performance on July 26, 2022”. It is a matrix sound source that makes full use of the original IEM sound source and the best audience. Although the “50 HEAVY METAL YEARS Tour” was a major project that was the culmination of half a century, not only was an official live album not produced, but in the end, not even a single full sound board appeared. This work is a blow of revenge that will wipe away such frustrating feelings. It is a superb matrix album that collectors have been waiting for. Before that worrisome quality, first of all, the position of the show. The 50th anniversary tour was originally planned for 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It started in 2021. It has already been more than two years, so let’s look back on the schedule once again. 2021, August 15th “BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2021” ・September 8th-26th: North America #1 (13 performances) 《September 26th: Richie Faulkner emergency surgery》 2022, March 4th-April 13th: North America #2 (23 performances) ← * OAKLAND 2022 and others ・May 31st-August 7th: Europe (33 performances) ← ★ Here ★ 《Major changes to the set》 ・October 13th-November 2nd: North America #3a (14 performances) ・November 5th: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony ・November 7th-December 6th: North America #3b (17 performances) ・December 9th-18th: South America (5 performances) The best sound in the original IEM series This is the whole picture of the “50 HEAVY METAL YEARS Tour”. Not only was the implementation delayed, but Richie Fauchner developed aortic dissection during the tour and was rushed to the hospital. There was also a problem that postponed the tour for about half a year. The Vienne performance of this work is the “European” leg that returned in triumph after the tour resumed. It was the 27th concert. As enthusiastic collectors may have noticed, this show is also famous for the extremely high-end audience recording that represents the tour. “VIENNE 2022” has also become a standard, but of course this work is completely different. It is a new masterpiece that makes the most of the original IEM intercepted sound source of this work only handed over by the recorder himself. The sound is just a “soundboard substitute”. The vivid clapping derived from the audience recording is also absorbed, but the essential performance sound & vocals are completely zero distance & close contact. In fact, only the audience recording is recorded until the intro of the first song “One Shot At Glory”, but it changes to an IEM sound as the singing begins. You can experience the awesomeness of the IEM source in the improvement of the sound that becomes vivid at once. Moreover, this work is a masterpiece class even by matrix standards. If you have noticed this article, you may have also experienced “LYON 2024: IEM/AUD MATRIX” and “PARIS 2024: IEM/AUD MATRIX” at the end of last year, but this work is better than that two consecutive works. The two consecutive works of the 2024 edition had a strong IEM source habit and a sense of congestion, but this work is glossy and rich. If you liken this difference in feel to a radio, the 2024 edition is like an AM broadcast, and this work is like an FM broadcast. This work is a masterpiece that is more suitable as a “sound board substitute / official substitute”.
