Description
From the 1972 Japan tour, which was Floyd’s second visit to Japan, the first day, March 6th, the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium performance was recorded in full for 1 hour and 47 minutes with a high-quality audience recording. The take, which is said to be the best sound quality of the day, has been carefully remastered and pitch-corrected, even among experts, and is considered to be a DAT clone copy of the master tape. This is a must-listen for all Floyd fans. The sound quality is excellent throughout, and the direct sound that makes you feel no one around the recorder is amazing for a recording of this era. Disc 1 contains the large song “Madness”, which has not been released at this stage. For the first time in Japan, you can experience the miraculous moment when this historic suite was performed in front of Floyd fans with a realistic sound image. The drum play in the latter 4 minutes of On The Run is recorded with a really powerful sound. The percussive play at the beginning of Time is also captured with a stunning sound quality accompanied by an exciting sound image. Each track is recorded with a wonderful sound, including Gilmour’s dirty guitar sound at the 4-minute mark and Rick’s electric piano. The vocal parts, which have a delicate and mellow image, also give a sense of the charm unique to this period, and fans can listen carefully to them. Following The Great Gig In The Sky, which is an otherworldly and intense sound drama that would have paralyzed the audience, Money, which is full of the charm of a different sound from the final, explodes! The listener is overwhelmed by the sharp and amazing groove. Gilmour’s solo at the 5-minute mark is recorded surprisingly clearly. Us And Them has a tape change at the beginning, which cuts it out, but the performance itself is the best. The percussive excitement in the middle and the sharp and sharp development are also wonderful. The only disappointment is that Gilmour’s guitar is turned off at the beginning of Any Colour You Like (it comes up around 40 seconds). In Brain Damage, Roger misses the vocals, but after restarting, the sound quality is excellent and the song is very satisfying (although there are some questionable lyrics). In the second part, One Of These Days, Roger’s bass is captured loudly and is very powerful. From the 3-minute mark, Gilmour’s guitar suddenly turns on and plays a sharp performance. The audience is probably overwhelmed by the powerful performance in the second half. Careful With That Axe, Eugene also features a magnificent performance with great control. Roger repeats the unusually powerful scream effect, completely overwhelming the audience (there is an anecdote that a female customer fainted during this part). The overall sound balance is also excellent, and you can listen to a great performance with sustained tension until the end. Echoes also features a highly complete performance by the entire band for 24 minutes. Before the encore, you can hear the late Goro Itoi’s MC, “Thank you very much. Pink Floyd’s concert. (Here, the members are introduced) Thank you very much for your support.” A Saucerful Of Secrets, captured in the highest quality, is a masterpiece! Rick’s organ, which is entangled with the drum sound recorded like a line recording, is very powerful. The excitement at the end part is sure to bring tears to the fans’ eyes. It’s so amazing that it’s hard to believe that such a wonderful performance was held in Japan. Disc 3 contains the highest quality version of the radio broadcast take (actually a microphone recording) of the live performance at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, which was previously released by Sirene under the title “Dark Music”. The broadcast time is about 30 minutes, and it was broadcast without any notice, and even after the broadcast ended, there was no explanation about the sound source, so it was a mysterious broadcast take, but as with the previous releases, the DJ’s comment “What country is this band from?” is recorded at the end to support them. This edition has been edited so that the audience recording can be connected well after Us And Them, which ends in about 2 minutes at the broadcast stage, and the last Eclipse can be heard all at once (the sound quality is so high that you won’t know it was connected if you listen to the supplementary parts normally). The master sound source used in the previous release has been carefully remastered again to produce the highest sound quality and longest take. A 3-CD set title that couples the best master quality audience recording and FM broadcast sound source from the first day of the 1972 Japan tour in Tokyo is now available.
