Mick Jagger Mick Jagger/Australia 9.27.1988 New Source & more

Mick Jagger’s 1988 live performances tended to attract attention due to his visit to Japan, and the situation remains the same today, with the overwhelming majority of items being from Japan. The next Australian tour was significantly reworked, as there was a six-month interval between the Japanese tours, and the set list was particularly interesting, surpassing the Japanese tour in terms of mania. Fortunately, a wonderful TV special called “DEEP DOWN UNDER” was made from this tour, but the rare repertoire heard on the Australian tour was cut out entirely due to the fact that it was mixed with a hotel gig set up for filming. More than that, audience recordings of the Australian tour are rare, and the audience recordings of rare songs were barely made into CDs on a CD of a collection of live recordings from Mick’s 1988 performances called “CAN’T YOU HEAR ME ROCKIN’?”. Rather, it may be said that this tour has been shrouded in mystery until now. Meanwhile, the Sydney performance on September 27th was released online. Unfortunately, this recording had been circulating among traders as an incomplete recording that missed the end of the live performance, but this time the master recorded by Australian taper “Way From Oz” itself was made public for the first time, making this a very meaningful discovery. The sound quality is typical of a cassette Walkman, and the release was made due to tape distortion at the beginning of the live performance, such as “Ruby Tuesday,” but it is still of a quality that is easy to listen to, and the content is so valuable. “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking,” which matches the sharpness of Mick’s solo band-like tight performance, and “Primitive Cool,” which was added to the repertoire in Australia despite being the title song of his second solo album, have good melodies that stand out in live performances. “One Hit,” which also has a fresh solo band tight performance, and “Rip This Joint,” which was included in the set list from this day, are also very typical of this band. Unfortunately, the recording ends in the middle of this song, but it is interesting to note that Simon Phillips’ drum solo was incorporated into this song on this tour. Listening to the whole live performance in this way, you will finally realize that the composition was different from the Japanese performance. With such valuable content, the sound quality is analog-like and easy to listen to. In this case, the loss of the final part of the live performance, which was a series of Stones numbers, may seem like a problem that is not worth recording to enthusiasts. There is so much to listen to. In addition, it includes a rehearsal broadcast in July to promote the Australian tour, a fragment of “I’m A King Bee”, which was an early Stones repertoire, and an interview at the time of arrival in Australia (he answers quite seriously). This is the precious sound source that enthusiasts wanted to hear. Sydney Entertainment Center, Sydney, Australia 27th September 1988 TRULY AMAZING/PERFECT SOUND(NEW SOURCE) Disc 1 (58:57) 1.
