Robert Plant/London,UK 2002

Robert Plant returned to his solo career in 2002 after finishing his career as Page Plant. The best original recording that conveys the scene is now available. This work includes “June 10, 2002 London Performance”. This is a super-excellent audience recording recorded at the traditional venue “Astoria Theater”. The biggest point of this work is the transcendent quality that can only be heard on the sound board, but first of all, the show position. Let’s look back at the schedule when he released his first solo album in nine years, “DREAMLAND.”・February 5th + 9th: UK (2 performances) ・May 1st – June 29th: Europe #1 (10 performances) ←★Here★《“DREAMLAND” released on July 16th》 ・July 18th -August 4th: North America #1 (11 performances), August 23rd – September 15th: North America #2 (17 performances), October 8th – November 14th: Europe #2 (19 performances) This is Robert Plant in 2002. “DREAMLAND” was released in mid-July, but the tour started a month and a half before that. The Astoria performance of this work was the 9th concert of the early “Europe #1”. This work recorded at such a show is truly a masterpiece with the “super” rating. This is an original master only for this work by the “British master” who is familiar to us at our store, but it is by far the best in the collection. Since Taper has so many records, I can’t easily call it a masterpiece, but it’s definitely the best in my memory. Although he is a recording artist who usually balances a realistic atmosphere and clarity, in this work he is able to shake off the clarity and go all out with the sound board style. The extra-thick core jumps into your ears without any sense of distance, and the vividness of the details makes it hard to feel the presence of the atmosphere. If it hadn’t been given to me directly by the person who recorded it, I would have thought it was a sound board. It is a full show that is drawn in such a super direct sound because it is 2002. From this tour, the BBC session and ACL festival are included in the bonus DVD of “DREAMLAND”, but this work, which is a solo full show, is much longer. Let’s compare and organize the sets here. ZEP repertoire (4 songs)・Four Sticks/Going To California/Celebration Day/Babe I’m Gonna Leave You solo and others (10 songs)・NOW AND ZEN: Tall Cool One・FATE OF NATIONS: Down To The Sea/Come Into My Life (★) / Calling To You (★) ・DREAMLAND: Win My Train Fare Home (If I Ever Get Lucky) (★) / Hey Joe (★) / Morning Dew / Song To The Siren・Others (LOVE cover) ): 7 And 7 Is (★) / A House Is Not A Motel (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” are not available on the “DREAMLAND” bonus DVD. …and it looks like this. Four songs from the “DREAMLAND” repertoire were also performed, but perhaps because they are basically covers, their rarity is not that high. On the contrary, his first solo song “Celebration Day” and “Come Into My Life” from his previous album “FATE OF NATIONS” are extremely rare songs only released in 2002, and you can enjoy them in the highest soundboard quality. is. In any case, it’s a superb sound that deserves a “super” rating. That’s all. Even in the collection of famous recording artists who have produced a large number of masterpieces, you can fully experience a valuable show with outstanding quality. A two-disc set that realizes the basic and most important points of a live album at an extremely high level.
