Paul McCartney/TX,USA 2018 Remaster

Hmm, this is amazing…let’s just say it. The “AUSTIN CITY LIMITS MUSIC FESTIVAL” that Paul appeared in before this visit to Japan was held for two weeks, and the first performance was distributed, and the result was “AUSTIN CITY LIMITS,” which has already become a huge bestseller. 2018 WEEKEND ONE”. The impact of the professional shot video that captured the main part of the Freshen Up tour just before the performance in Japan was too great. Because of that, the second week’s stage could not be streamed, but on this day, instead of “Hi, Hi, Hi” and “Can’t Buy Me Love” from the first day, it was the beginning of the set list. There was a change where “Junior’s Farm” and “All My Loving” were played. Therefore, killer tunes from the Wings and Beatles eras were played alternately, but among them, there are many enthusiasts who would like to hear “Junior’s Farm” more than “Hi, Hi, Hi”. Also, depending on the show, Paul changes a few songs in the first half of the set, and as always, Paul is aggressive. The audience recording that captured the second week’s stage naturally appeared on the internet, but it was a big mistake to make a mistake because there was footage from the first week. This is amazing sound quality! That is why I said “amazing” at the beginning, but there is no way that I would not release a sound source that boasts such outstanding high sound quality. When I played the audio source that was given to me while writing this nonsense, I was overwhelmed by the high quality of the sound, which made me want to put on my headphones and listen to it. Well, what on earth is that? This amazing sound quality. The power of the sound pressure alone is certainly something special. But that alone does not fully express the charm of this sound source. It is not just that the performance is captured at the sound pressure of the sound board level. Anyway, it’s amazing how each instrument is captured in a realistic, even vivid, way. You can easily understand that by listening to the first few songs of the show. For example, in “Letting Go”, the horn section, which is the highlight of this tour, appears, but their tone is also vivid. Even the first week’s video, which is on the soundboard and in an organized state, cannot enjoy this kind of “raw” reality. The outstanding point of this audience recording is that it captures the vividness of the sound that the band plays on stage. On the other hand, in the finale’s “Abbey Road Medley,” there are people who say that they can clearly see the difference between the addition of horns and the sample of Wicks (lol). It is also refreshing to hear the backing vocals by the band members, which tend to be mixed especially in official releases and TV broadcasts, so vividly. That is also obvious when you listen to “Let Me Roll It” at the beginning of the show. The chorus sung by the veteran warriors who have been supporting Paul since 2002 will be refreshing and make you wonder if it was like this. In other words, the back chorus is also captured with outstanding clarity. From that point of view, you can feel the charm that is different from the first week’s pro shot video. Yet, the great appeal of this sound source is that it captures the realism unique to audience recording without any sarcasm. A large chorus erupts in some of the classical numbers, but the excitement that can be heard on the left and right does not obstruct the performance (after all, it is that sound pressure), and the excitement that is pleasant is felt to be real again. “All My Loving”, which was the highlight of the day, was sung in chorus as a matter of course, but it was nice to hear that you could even hear the chorus mistake, which is common among beginners, such as rushing to the chorus after the first song. What’s even more hilarious is that when the main story ends, there’s a chant of “Encore! Encore!”. A Japanese rock concert from the Showa era. This is the reaction of the American audience in 2018. It’s also funny to see it switch to “One More Song!” In other words, the pleasant sense of realism is also worth listening to! And the balance of the power of the bass is really wonderful, and the performance of two songs from the blockbuster album “EGYPT STATION” is also a masterpiece. A dynamism that can’t be experienced in the professional shot videos and distributed sound sources that have appeared so far is overflowing from these two songs. With such exceptional recording quality, the fluctuations in localization that appear to have been caused by a taper movement in “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” or the hoarseness that occurs in one spot in “Hey Jude” are inconsequential. Probably. Speaking of which, there is also an incident where Paul makes a mistake in the lyrics in “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!”, but you can also hear it realistically. After all, it is an exceptional sound source, so you can enjoy it without equalizing it. However, for this CD release, by adjusting the mid-high range and sound pressure, it has evolved into an upper version of ultra recording with even more outstanding clarity. It goes without saying that it is the best recording in the early days of the Freshen Up Tour, and on the contrary, it is an outstanding audience recording that will serve as an indicator for the future. This item will be in stock right after the Tokyo Dome performance, so if you listen to it while you’re still excited, it’ll be twice as fun.
