Description
Yoyogi, September 29th, the last day of Oasis’ 2002 Japan performance in Tokyo, was filmed on the premise that it would be broadcast on MTV, which served as a sponsor. However, this video has an unexpected fate. As an apology for the Liam ejection incident that occurred in Fukuoka a few days later (the second time in this area after 2000!), the live footage from this event was presented as a gift to those who attended the Fukuoka performance, even though it had not yet aired. Although this was a credit to the injury, it resulted in the spread of the complete pro shot video of the 2002 Japan tour. Since the original video is for broadcasting, the audio is naturally a stereo sound board. Thanks to this, not only the video but also the audio was released as a live album, and although it has been released several times as one of the standard sound sources in 2002, it is said that the recording condition was not easy. After all, the balance was such that Noel’s guitar was loud, and Gem’s guitar could hardly be heard. A prime example of this is “Go Let It Out,” where you can’t hear Gem’s lead guitar at all during the ending. The riff of “Morning Glory” was barely audible, but the volume was still low, and when it became a song included in “HEATHEN CHEMISTRY”, it was devastated. I can’t hear Gem’s part on “Hung In A Bad Place” anymore. Another problem is that the sense of realism is quite low. If you listened to it without any prior knowledge, you would almost be under the impression that the day wasn’t very exciting. Rather, the sound of this video had a unique balance that made it seem like it was a “high-quality PA out sound board” rather than a broadcast sound source. Audience recordings of the same day were released in 2002, and if we combined them in a matrix, this problem could be solved to some extent…I have heard voices from that time, but that is not easily realized. Before I knew it, nearly 20 years (how fast!) had passed since the performance in Japan in 2002, and this year, an overseas enthusiast finally faced this challenge and released a wonderfully finished version on the internet. It was given to me. In the end, it was a great decision to carry out the work nearly 20 years later. The latest technology in 2021 was perfect for not only combining the sound board and audience, but also adjusting the balance between the performance and the sense of presence, as well as the balance of the game’s guitar, which had been hidden. is. In fact, the finish is wonderful. First of all, the thinness of the sense of reality that sounded like that “high-quality PA output sound board” was successfully resolved. Since it was a performance in Japan in 2002, it is on a different level from the roaring excitement that is common at European outdoor festivals such as Witness Festival, which was released at the same time, but it still feels much more live compared to the original soundboard. improved. For example, when Liam announces that it’s the last song before starting “Acquiesce,” the reaction of “Yeah, yeah!” and “It’s okay to laugh” (lol) is unique to this era. Another noteworthy point is that Gem’s guitar, which was unfortunately hard to hear, has surprisingly increased its presence. The task itself of pulling the sound of the audience recording onto the soundboard and reviving the lost balance would have been impossible without current technology. I think it could have been easily created by simply combining audiences to increase the sense of presence, but this version is amazing. When I heard the ending of “Go Let It Out”, Gem’s guitar, which I couldn’t hear on the original soundboard, suddenly became more present. That alone is surprising, but the maniac responsible for this work placed his guitar properly on the left side. Thanks to this, I can fully enjoy the stereo sound of the two guitarists’ playing, and I just take my hat off to them. The final song was “Wonderwall,” which was performed as Noel’s sung version, following the arrangement of the version covered by Ryan Adams at the time. In the distributed video, Noel’s voice at the beginning was off, but when it was broadcast on MTV in December, it was corrected, and this song was replaced with a take from the same broadcast. The fineness of the art. Also, let’s be careful that Noel’s solo performance on FM, which is recorded after the Yoyogi sound source, is not copied from the already released bonus, but is recorded going back to the original source. Naturally, overseas enthusiasts did a really good job with the stereo sound board as well. The last day of Yoyogi in 2002 was a standard stereo soundboard with excellent sound quality, but the unbalanced performance and lack of presence that could not be erased were finally resolved with the Matrix version created by enthusiasts. It has been reborn as an upper version live album that everyone from beginners to enthusiasts can enjoy with peace of mind. This is the definitive version of Oasis’s “929”!
