Ringo Starr/Fukushima,Japan 2019

Ringo Starr & All Stars Band’s performance in Japan, which has been reported to be a huge success every day, is coming to an end, so let’s enjoy the latest live performance right away. First of all, this time there will be two performances of incredible sound sources. The Fukushima performance on April 2nd will take the lead. As always, the Ringo Band’s great appeal is the grass-roots activities that they travel to rural areas every time they visit Japan. Until now, he has created a lot of buzz each time he has visited Japan, such as in 2013 when he performed at a festival, and in 2016 when he performed a concert on Halloween, but this time he will be in Fukushima at the beginning of the tour. The performance in Koriyama was realized. On the internet, the band received a tremendous welcome from the locals, who said, “Ringo has come to Koriyama!” Ringo and the band’s star players performed live in the local city. Therefore, not only is it the fastest release of the latest live performance, but it also captures the precious live performance in Fukushima with an audience recording of excellent sound quality. The recording was provided by Taper, who produced TOTO’s “SENDAI 2019,” which was already praised as the standard audience album in 2019. This is a recording he made from the middle of the 9th row on the first floor using a Schoeps MK41 microphone. That’s why the sound quality is the best this time too. In particular, the closeness of Ringo’s voice is mesmerizingly beautiful. However, as mentioned earlier, the reaction of the audience to welcome Ringo who came to Koriyama was very passionate, and depending on the song, the clapping was noticeable. In addition, former Beatle Ringo made the trip to Fukuoka, so foreigners living in the area flocked to the event, and the response to his MC was very enthusiastic. It is a recording that was missed in that respect, but upon release, the clapping was softened by equalization. However, in terms of excitement, it seems like it could be counted as one of the top three in this Japan performance, and the fact that it captured this excitement is a credit to the audience album. It’s true that the presence of the surroundings is very exciting, but more than that, Ringo and the band’s performance are captured in a lively sound image, so you can be sure to enjoy it to the fullest. And this time, the combination of Hamish Stewart, who had experience participating in All Stars in the 2000s, and Colin Hay brings new life to the band, and the latter’s self-explanatory smash hit “Who Can It Be Now?” ‘ really looks great live. When Hamish, who usually plays the bass, plays the Average White Band era classic “Pick Up the Pieces”, Steve Lukather plays the bass instead, which is a rare feat that was only possible with the Ringo All Stars. The scenes can also be heard in high quality. The sound quality is of course good, but the excitement is amazing, and even before the finale “With A Little Help From My Friends”, the storm of apple calls is amazing. Just the sound of it makes you imagine Ringo smiling in front of the excitement. Still, even in local performances, the high-quality craftsmanship of each performer was spectacular, with no cutting corners. We will be the first to deliver you a miraculous document of the highest quality sound, which combines their pure performance with the passionate excitement overflowing with a sense of unity unique to Fukuoka.
