Rolling Stones/Hawaii,USA 1.22.1973 1st Show Upgrade

Last month, we released the upper version “HONOLULU 1973 1ST NIGHT” of the Honolulu performance on January 21, 1973, and it was well received, but it is inevitable that the upper version will be released for the Honolulu performance the next day… Therefore, this week we will be releasing an upper version of the performance on January 22nd, which was held twice. First show on the 22nd. It has been a familiar sound source for analog boots since ancient times, and although the performance itself is somewhat dumpling-like, it has a stereo feeling and is famous as a high-quality audience recording that is close to Mick’s voice. Many items have been released under the name “IN EXOTIC HONOLULU”, but the VGP version has been considered the best (hereinafter referred to as the already released version). However, nearly 25 years have passed since its release, and now the 90’s-style equalized finish has begun to feel outdated, and the new version in a more natural state has become more modern. The item was awaited. Therefore, for this release, the sound source is the same, but I went back to the master before equalization and reviewed it. If you listen to songs such as “Gimme Shelter” and compare, the difference is obvious, but whereas the previously released version had the crisp and crisp sound of guiro and Charlie’s cymbals, this time it was suddenly natural and warm. Also, this was a problem with the original sound source, but the pitch was basically high, and it rose considerably in the latter half of the show, so we carefully adjusted it. When you listen to this version, you would naturally think that the pitch was accurate, but in fact, the pitch deviation in the original sound source was considerable. On the contrary, since the analog era, the original sound source has been out of pitch, and even on CDs, depending on the item, the pitch deviation has not been corrected, or there are even items that have been left unattended. Therefore, this time we will achieve the most ideal release, which is natural and has an accurate pitch. The previously released version had been admirably adjusted for pitch issues, but I couldn’t help but feel that the high notes had been picked up in terms of sound quality. As I mentioned earlier, this point is also in a natural state this time, so I think enthusiasts who have been listening to this standard sound source will be particularly pleased. Also, as was the case the day before, the series of Honolulu performances had a unique and energetic performance that was very good. However, it’s not like they’ll be replicating the previous year’s American tour exactly, nor will it be relaxing like they did in Australia later. If the performance in Japan had been realized as it is, that momentum would definitely have been reproduced at Budokan. Furthermore, speaking of Honolulu in 1973, there is a rare repertoire “It’s All Over Now”, but this time is the most chaotic performance of the three stages. It’s a fun performance with a lot of momentum, but you can see how crazy it is from the fact that Mick is smiling bitterly at the end. This seems to symbolize Honolulu, which has a unique momentum. Still, “Sweet Virginia” feels like the remnants of the previous year’s American tour, and it looks great on stage as it is an acoustic song that matches the cheerful land of Hawaii.Even “Midnight Rambler” is similar to the previous year. It is impressive that the bewitching charm fades for a while, and the performance becomes tighter and more intense. When Europe arrives in the fall, the bewitching nature is restored again, but the tight performance is different from that and seems to reflect the local characteristics of Hawaii. In any case, it’s interesting because their position as a bridge between the speedy Stones rock of 1972 America and the gorgeous 1973 Europe is clearly reflected in their performance. In addition, the unique balance of this sound source, in which Mick’s voice is captured with great balance, doubles the power of the hyper performance that follows the song. It is true that 1972 in America and 1973 in Europe are classic periods in the history of Stones live performances, but the tension is as high as that, and yet the performances are crisp and (at times) not boring. Unique charm. The free-spirited singing that Mick sings in “Jumping Jack Flash” also exudes the exhilaration unique to Hawaii. Among such Honolulu performances in 1973, the famous sound source of the first show on the 22nd, which has conveyed its charm since the LP era. Introducing the long-awaited upper version, which brings to the forefront a naturalness that was not present on the previously released version. About the pitch ★Corrected the fact that it was a little over 50% slower at the beginning by a semitone, and at the end it was more than a semitone slower.
