Roger Waters/WA,USA 8.5.2017

A superb live album for collectors has been decided to be released. This work contains the “August 5, 2017 Washington performance”. The biggest point of this work is the superb quality that has appeared again, but the position of the show is also (a little) interesting. In fact, it is the prequel to the Philadelphia performance “PHILADELPHIA 2017 1ST NIGHT” and “2ND NIGHT”. To get a sense of this, let’s take a closer look at the August schedule of “US+THEM 2017”. ・August 2: Auburn Hills ・August 4: Washington ・August 5: Washington [This work] ・August 8: Philadelphia “PHILADELPHIA 1ST NIGHT” ・August 9: Philadelphia “PHILADELPHIA 2ND NIGHT” ・August 11: Philadelphia ・August 13: Nashville This is the entire schedule of “August 2017”. More than 13 performances were held in June and July, but this is all for August. In our shop, we have scrutinized the recordings that appear purely in terms of “quality” and have not reported on all the performances, but in that careful selection, the “middle three performances” in August were outstandingly wonderful. In fact, the sound of this work is superb. The feeling of the “ringing” is a little different from the type called “like a sound board”, but the clarity of the musical tones and the detailed details are wonderful enough to dismiss poor line recording. Moreover, the “ringing” is transparent, and it enriches the edges of the performance and does not make them muddy at all. What’s even more wonderful is the scale of the cheers. Of course, the thick musical tones dominate everything during the performance, but between songs, the grand applause spreads throughout the venue. The applause near the venue is large, and it gradually gets smaller and smaller, and the distant seats are as fine as autumn rain. Because even each grain is clear, the perspective creates an exquisite sense of space. That’s the sound that is close to “PHILADELPHIA 2017 1ST NIGHT” and “2ND NIGHT”, and if it was any other band, it would be pressed immediately. However, this work is also a rare sound source abnormality in rock history “US+THEM”. Even this work cannot surpass the miraculous past title, and “PHILADELPHIA 2017 1ST NIGHT” and “2ND NIGHT” of the closely-scheduled schedule will also appear. “US+THEM” has completed 60% of the announced schedule and taken a four-week break. Currently, maniacs around the world are rapidly progressing with the sound source summary of “the last August of the first half”. Among them, three consecutive performances of masterpiece recordings have emerged. This is the one that decorates the top. It is a gem that can be fully recommended not only to completers but also to carefully selected collectors of “only powerful sound sources”. Live at Verizon Center, Washington, DC.
