Paul Weller/Tokyo,Japan 2.3.2024 Complete IEM Matrix Edition & more

The first day of the 2024 Japan Tour in six years, the live performance at EX Theater Roppongi on February 3, the first day of the two Tokyo performances, was recorded in a multi-stereo IEM matrix, and the edition includes live footage from the day. First, the stereo IEM sources that each member used on stage, each with a different mix balance, were mixed in an exquisite balance to create a multi-IEM matrix source, and then the digital audience source was stereo-mixed with an exquisite combination to faithfully reproduce the day’s scene with quality comparable to that of the official soundboard. The video footage from the digital camera realistically reproduces the day’s scene with stable, high-quality quality, and the audio part is synchronized with the multi-IEM matrix source of the CD. And above all, taking advantage of the large capacity of the Blu-ray, the original HD quality video material is recorded without compression, and the quality, including the audio part, is a world apart from fragmented footage on YouTube and the like. The set was mainly from the 80s, including jams and staccato, and the 90s, when he was a solo artist, but also included a lot of recent repertoire. The opening song was “Rip The Pages Up”, the B-side of the single “Have You Made Up Your Mind”, and six songs from “ON SUNSET” and “FAT POP (VOLUME 1)”, which were released after his last visit to Japan, as well as a new song “Jumble Queen”, which he started playing last year. The two consecutive performances in Tokyo, which were the last of the six performances that started in Osaka on January 26th, were the final performances, and the live performances were very well received in various places so far. The main set was basically the same for all the performances, and only the encore included a different number each day. Although the main set was the same here in Tokyo, the two songs “Old Father Tyme” and “The Changingman” were completely switched from the final day the next day, which is probably because it was the same Tokyo. Therefore, it is a must-listen memorial item for fans who went to the venue on the day. *Leah Weller’s opening act is included as a bonus CD track, also in top quality sound.
