Oasis/Tokyo,Japan 8.23.1995

Oasis’ 1995 Japan tour, which was not blessed with a sound source. After all, it was only in 1995 that the sound source was not blessed with a sound source, and the sound source recorded here is not a taper, but an audience recording that reminds of the texture of a fan recording from a cassette Walkman at that time. The sound image itself is quite close, but Liam’s singing voice is far away. Furthermore, the rough quality of the sound is a little distorted. It is speculated that this was recorded quite far in front of the stage at the live house. In particular, the unique balance of the vocal sound being pushed by the performance tells us that. In addition, the version that is widespread among traders has a high pitch, which raises the listening hurdle again. In fact, it was inevitable that this sound source was limited to releases such as “SPLENDER 1” until now. That “SPLENDER 1” and others had been equalized to alleviate this rough quality as much as possible, but the version that comes with the first delivery this time has not been touched in this way, and only the pitch has been adjusted. Since the original was recorded on cassette, the natural feel of this unequalized version is not bad. Especially since the original is distorted. It is true that this is a sound source that should not be listened to with headphones, but on the other hand, the excitement in the venue is wonderful, and it is so exciting that it seems to be the best of the 1995 Japan tour. In addition, it is a homely excitement that is easy to understand at first listen. This is also a scene that reminds you of the fact that it was recorded at the front of the venue. The performance also becomes easier to hear at once when Noel’s acoustic set is used, and there is no delay production like in “OSAKA 1995 2ND NIGHT DAT MASTER” in “Cast No Shadow”, and there is a big difference in that Noel simply plays and sings it, just like the live version after that. The best part is that not only is the eternal masterpiece “Don’t Look Back In Anger” played in a small way, as it seems to be before the release, but the last lyrics were changed ad-lib (probably Noel forgot), which is a rare sight only before the release. And when Liam returned to the stage from “Live Forever”, his voice was not in good condition, but it was nice to see him persevere and sing until the end of the live show. It cannot be denied that the recording quality is more suitable for enthusiasts than “OSAKA 1995 2ND NIGHT DAT MASTER”, which was literally recorded using DAT, but it is also true that the performance content and the atmosphere of the venue are completely different, making it a valuable document. And in 2021, CDs released in the past are also difficult to obtain. Please try this valuable sound source from the 1995 Japan tour. But don’t listen to it with headphones!
