Rolling Stones/Hawaii,USA 1.21.1973 Upgrade

It is still fresh in my memory that the upper version of the Brisbane performance from the Stones’ early 1973 tour was released a few weeks ago, but this time from the Hawaii date, which was the first half of the same tour, this is the appearance of the upper version sound source again. . The main tour during this period was in the southern hemisphere, centered on Australia, but before that the tour was held in Hawaii. Two performances were held here in two days, but this time the show will be released on January 21st. Unlike the first show the next day, which has been released since the analog era, it was an audience recording discovered in the CD era. All three performances in Honolulu have good sound quality and audience recordings, but the sound source on the 21st is especially easy to listen to, and many items have been created. The sound source that will be released this time is the same as the past items, and there is a change in the sound image at 1:24 of the opening “Brown Sugar”, and above all, the lack of sound source that occurs from the second verse of “Jumping Jack Flash”, and there. Editing that supplemented from the sound source of the second show the next day is also the same as before. However, the sound source released this time is the version that JEMS released on the internet last month, and it is not a “low generation”, but a clear copy of the first generation. Up until now, “STONES IN EXOTIC HONOLULU” has been considered the best sound source for 21st, and the upper feeling that convinced the low generation was enough to wipe out past 21st items. However, when I listened to the first generation version by JEMS and compared it, I was surprised by the clearness and spaciousness, as if the last of the fog remaining in the SODD version had been lifted, and the sound was even more upbeat. Best of all, it has a very natural taste. Among them, the sound of Charlie’s cymbal in “Sweet Virginia” is particularly noticeable. When you compare it with this version, you will be keenly aware that past releases were more or less muddied due to repeated cassette copies. Furthermore, the cut that occurred from the second verse of “Jumping Jack Flash”, which was the biggest bottleneck in the 21st sound source, and the compensation with the 22nd sound source, but it is assumed that this was also processed when the copy was made. will be done. However, the transitions were a bit sloppy, especially when the sound source switched, and the sound suddenly clicked, and above all, the connection between different shows felt quite strange. Therefore, this time we have thoroughly adjusted this area, and above all, we have removed the noise that occurs at the moment the sound source changes, and we have even made changes to the difference in the sound image. This allows for much smoother listening. I can definitely say that this is a must-have replacement item for the famous Honolulu performance on January 21st. In addition to that, it also has a natural upper feel, so there’s nothing to say! What’s interesting about the Stones during this period is that they create a unique atmosphere compared to the “ALL MEAT MUSIC” show at the LA Forum that was held just before the Hawaii performance, and even compared to the performances in Australia and New Zealand after Hawaii. . It’s not just the time of the year, it seems that Australia, where you can hear a relaxing performance in a warm place, or LA, which was the first stage in 1973, will give you a perfect performance. Among them, what stands out compared to LA is Mick’s high tension. In the first place, this sound source picks up Mick’s voice a lot (although the performance other than the drums is like a dumpling), and he leads the band with high tension just like the American tour the previous year, yet it is not as relaxed as in Australia. The band’s performance meshes well. As is well known, “It’s All Over Now” is a rare repertoire in Hawaii. When it was performed in LA, it was an intense arrangement with an intro, but it was unique in that it was performed with a simpler and straighter rock’n’roll arrangement, and it ended up being performed only in Hawaii. I will be missed. Similarly rare is “Live With Me”. Although the intro played by Keith starts with the pattern of 1969, the overall performance has a unique finish that has the momentum of 1970 or 1971. It was not played until the next day, and it was the last live performance in the 1970s. The first day of Honolulu was a standard among the live sound sources of early 1973, which has a unique atmosphere that gives you a sense of momentum and intensity (please listen and compare it with Brisbane). ★Remaster Memo★JJF Regarding the discomfort of connecting. Previously, there was noise at the connection points, so this was removed. The sound quality changes in the beginning part, but it’s smooth, so I removed the noise as described above, so it doesn’t feel strange. The beginning of the song has the right tempo, but it feels like it’s flying, so we did a lot of things to make it feel a lot less strange compared to the previous version.
