Rolling Stones/CA,USA 8.22.2019

From the Stones’ latest tour, I would like to immediately release the latest Pasadena performance, which has been less than a week since the performance ended…However, the audience recording that appeared on the Internet this weekend was a little strange. In other words, the recording state is such that it is assumed that the recording was performed while the taper equipment was malfunctioning. After all, in the opening song “Street Fighting Man”, the sound often cuts out or becomes monaural. It is speculated that the timing when the recording equipment that Taper had been using until now began to deteriorate was when recording the Pasadena show. Fortunately, from the second song “You Got Me Rocking” onwards, there are no such problems and you can listen to it for a while. However, in Keith’s “Before They Make Me Run” the audio becomes completely monaural. It was an audience recording that really didn’t follow. That said, the sound quality is quite good, and other than the problems mentioned above, I think you can enjoy listening to it normally. Besides, it’s the latest live show that just took place. Contrary to these recording problems, on this day as well, the performance like the Stones of 2019 is wonderful throughout. The song “You Got Me Rocking” immediately started the show, and the lighthearted performance of “She’s a Rainbow,” which was the voting song that day, was also good. However, the recording condition where the sound is a bit muffled until the middle of this song is also a negative point. Until the first half of the tour, the instability of Keith’s guitar play, which was a kind of listening point (?), has been completely dispelled, and he is also playing energetic phrases everywhere. For example, in the finale, “Satisfaction,” it feels like the backing is played firmly, and you think that the pattern reminiscent of the original version was carefully played, but in the second half, the solo also explodes with a sense of hustle. However, this time, Mick’s improvisation toward the end of the performance caused an incident in which the chorus’s repeated calls and the performance were out of sync. It’s as if he was being pushed by Keith, who is doing well, and Mick, who is full of energy. By the way, the blues he hummed during “Midnight Rambler” was Robert Johnson’s “Hellhound on My Trail” that day. However, the best song on this day is “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” To begin with, the performance itself is powerful, and Ronnie’s play in the interlude is wonderful. The ultimate thing is that after the performance is over, Mick repeatedly shouts “yeah!” more than usual to stir up the audience. It has been captured in its best condition. I repeat, it is a picture-perfect “property with meaning” audience recording. Problems such as quite loud sound dropouts or conversion to monaural are not negligible. However, the overall sound quality is not bad, and the performance is first-class. Remastered Memo ★The sound quality is closer to the bass, so I adjusted the whole thing to improve the clarity.
