Pink Floyd/Maryland,USA 1975

This time, the long-awaited Landover performance that finally appeared in 1975 is the first to appear using the 1st Gen, and it is the first time in history that it has been made into a record!!It is a late news for passionate fans, but Floyd in 1975 had only 20 live performances that year, and in the 1970s, the number of performances was extremely small following the previous year in 1974 (*= 13 performances). Therefore, there are only a few titles in existence, and it is still a year in which a good sound source is still waiting to be discovered, but when it comes to Landover performances in 1975, “LANDOVER 1975” released in 2012 is the definitive edition. It was. The performance date recorded in this was June 10, 1975, but as is well known, this year’s Landover performed at the same venue on the 9th the day before. This work is the first title in history that completely records the performance on June 9th, the first day of Landover!!Of course, the Landover sound source on the 9th has not been released, and this is the first release, but in fact, the sound source of this 9th day is unreleased. The source, which is said to be 3rd Gen among traders, existed only in the first part of the show. This time, we succeeded in obtaining the missing 2nd part of the 9th (= all parts of madness) and the treasured 1st Gen take of the encore (= “Echoes”), and between this and the above-mentioned trader. By combining the first part of the show that was on the market, this work is the first title in history that completely records the entire story of the 9th. Also, since the actual Landover was 2 DAYS on June 9th and 10th, this work also follows suit and includes the performances on the following 10th on Disc 4 in chronological order. In other words, the 10th is the same sound source as the already released version “LANDOVER 1975”, but this time we have re-examined the master sound source used at the time of its release and recorded a new one, so it is more precise and smooth. You will enjoy the sound. As a result, this work is the ultimate definitive edition of the 4-disc set of the 1975 Landover 2DAYS, both of which are coupled with the highest-quality takes currently available!! As mentioned above, the first part of Disc 1. Since it is a 3rd Gen, the sound quality is slightly inferior to discs 2 and 3, but if you listen to “Raving And Drooling”, which picks up perfectly from the thin introductory sound, you can hear the rich texture of the straight sound image, which makes it hard to believe that it is a 3rd Gen. I’m sure everyone will be surprised. The flow of the powerful melody of the song, which is in the process of being formed from the beginning, approaches your ears sharply, and the tuning after the end of the song is recorded in uncut form as the timbre is adjusted. “You Gotta Be Crazy” has a dazzling sound in the mid to high range, and especially in the parts where the piano scatters the melody (* around 7 minutes 03 seconds and around 12 seconds), the brilliance of the weak notes clearly appears. Masu. Furthermore, in the unison between the guitar and the strong notes of the keyboard, the harmonies that appear as Gilmore progresses while subtly shifting the notes are truly vivid, and I think you will sense a wide range of possibilities for the song, which is still in the process of developing. “Shine On You…Part 1-5” has a long instrumental section before the song begins, and the melancholic expressiveness of the guitar and keyboard is expressed in a truly beautiful tone. Also, on this day, there is a scene where the guitar starts singing in earnest (*6 minutes 41 seconds) with an unusually strong attack sound, and it is also a topic that you can enjoy the strength of the accent up close. In “Have A Cigar”, Roger’s singing voice that seems to be twisted slightly reaches here with a direct sound, and the guitar solo also progresses with a high-class crisp sound, which comes out with a fascinating good sound. You will enjoy the unique hook of the song and the way it ends abruptly with its vivid sound. In the beginning of “Shine On You…Part 6-9,” the keyboard and bass sounds appear as a deep, three-dimensional sound, and the guitar’s melody gradually becomes clearer in the margins of the sound. It appears with a rich sound image. The keyboard in the final part perfectly captures the clear, hard sound disappearing into the distance, and you will be able to fully feel the lingering sound and euphoria of the sound. From Disc 2, which contains the second crazy part, the recorder changes, and the best sound image of the 1st Gen pops out. I think you can get a sense of its extraordinary potential from the heartbeat of “Speak To Me” and the high-resolution sound that captures the atmosphere in the venue, but the guitar starts off with “Breathe (In The Air),” which starts with a big build-up. As soon as you play it, you’ll be amazed at how the sharp melody spreads throughout the entire range. Not only the guitar, but all the instruments are extremely sharp, and even the cymbal sounds, which are usually not very noticeable, come out beautifully and clearly from the beginning. Yes, it boasts an unusual degree of clarity and closeness of sound. “On The Run” also has a challenging sound collage unique to 1975 that spreads to your ears with the highest level of clarity, and “Time” also has a floating performance that comes out with space and transparency. Before you know it, you’ll feel like you’re being sucked into the sound image. The occasional female chorus also comes out with a fragrant and glossy tone, and of course this becomes even more prominent in “The Mortality Sequence”. You can also feel the 1st Gen’s ability deeply in the jazzy tones of the beautiful cymbals and piano here. In “Us And Them”, the introduced keyboard melody is delivered with a wavering and intoxicating sound unique to this period, and the organ with an overwhelming sound and dynamically moving bass have a powerful sound that allows you to follow the movement. In “Brain Damage”, where the vocals are very close, the guitar arpeggio and the organ sound come out straight to attract each other, and the subtle expressions and dense performance that appear in the space are sure to make you fall in love with it. is. “Eclipse” also maintains its powerful and sharp sound image until the end, and you will be very impressed by the way the ensemble and chorus come to a grand finale with an unimaginable sound image. And what I would like you to pay most attention to in this title is the encore “Echoes” of this day recorded on disc 3. Like Disc 2, it has been recorded with a rich and amazing sound quality, but this source has revealed an ultra-high sound quality that can be said to be almost the ultimate for AUD recordings at the time, and the listener’s senses. The sound that we raise to higher and higher levels is bearing fruit. The main melody sung by Gilmore, the harmony of Rick, and the two female choruses backing it up, the overlapping of the four voices and the expansion of the tones arrive with amazing clarity from the beginning, and the saxophone has a brilliant sound unique to brass instruments. It will come out. The guitar solo also pops out with a rich tone, creating a sensual sound with the organ, but the bass in the background is also perfectly capturing the pleasant and varied low tones, and the structure of the 1975 version of this song. The more you lean into it, the more knowledge it will provide you about how it works. At the end of the scene where the albatross cries, there is a scene in which the cries of the albatross slowly fly off into the distance, and the organ that emerges from the distance continues to intersect with weak sounds as if holding hands (*around 16:01 – 40 seconds) ), the intersection of the two notes and the change in song expression that can be heard in about 40 seconds will give you goosebumps. The final verse also enters with an extremely clear and sharp sound image, and the saxophone and chorus sing again just before the end of the song with a dazzling sound, creating a rich sound in the arranged final song. I’m sure you’ll thoroughly enjoy watching them. Disc 4 is the performance on June 10th, the day after Discs 1 to 3, but since the sound source of this day has only seen the light of day for the first part of the show, this work also includes only the first part. It has become. Basically, the content is the same as Sigma’s previously released edition “LANDOVER 1975 (Sigma 75)” (*However, it is a new recording after re-examining the master source used at that time), but this book. In the work, by placing it on disk 4 in chronological order, it is an interesting piece where you can see a different performance approach from the previous day. Although the source is not 1st Gen, it is a recorded sound with quite high potential as an AUD recording at that time, so you should be able to grasp the sound activity of the second day, which is full of creativity in a comfortable sound image. For example, “Raving And Drooling” is recorded from the song introduction before the start of the performance, just like the previous day, but you will notice at the beginning of the disc that this day was a bit more casual than the previous day. The performance also had a well-balanced bass and treble range, and it can be seen that the performance was performed with an open-minded descriptive power typical of 1975. “You Gotta Be Crazy” has an attractive sound image where the vocals come out straight and the melody is clearly visible. It is also worth noting that the organ also includes a melody that was not present on the previous day, and the timing of the playing is shifted to give it a different look than the previous day (* around 1 minute 35 seconds to 2 minutes 05 seconds (Similarly, there are some different approaches to the base than the previous day). “Shine On You…Part 1-5” also had a vivid description of the original sound at the beginning, and the guitar solo was developed with an approach that sprinkled a lot of stronger sounds than the previous day. The unique expressions catch your attention. On the other hand, “Shine On You…Part 6-9” has a great song due to the intense movement of the drums, and Nick’s skill in evoking the tone from the rhythm side can be felt in the dense and mellow sound image. You can do it, so please check it out. Finally, I would like to add a note about the remastering aspect. This work, like other titles in recent years, does not modify the sources used as much as possible, and the work is done to make the most of the original goodness of the materials (* Strict adjustment of pitch (and noise removal), and no equalization was performed that would change the impression of the original recorded sound. Rather, this work uses only excellent sources that are not necessary or worrying, so you can enjoy the quality of the ingredients even more deeply. Also, there is a fade process at 6 minutes 09 seconds of Disc 1 “Us And Them” and the performance sound is slightly lost, but this is a trace when it was transferred from the master to the book 1st Gen. This is probably due to the tape change, but strangely this is the sound from another day and is left as it was recorded on the 1st Gen tape without patch compensation. Also, the sound of “You Gotta Be Crazy” on Disc 4 is slightly deeper from around 12 minutes 52 seconds to 13 minutes 52 seconds. ), the sound image will not change significantly, so you won’t feel any discomfort in listening. Considering these, all four discs have a sound that focuses firmly on the performance, so it is easy to grasp what Floyd was trying to portray in 1975 during this two-day consecutive performance. I am. Please come to Floyd’s 75th Year Landover 2DAYS this weekend with couplings made from the highest quality sauces.
