Rolling Stones/NY,USA 1978 Upgrade

At the beginning of the Rolling Stones’ 1978 American tour, it became a hot topic for performing a gig at a theater class venue. The most famous one is “GARDEN STATE 78″ at the Capitol Theater in Passaic on June 14th. About a week later, the theater gig was repeated at the Palladium Theater in New York. Speaking of the Stones’ Palladium, Hollywood in 1972 is famous, but this one is in New York. With the release of the album “Onnatachi”, which was said to be a return to the basics in terms of sound, I think they also tried to return to the basics in terms of the size of the performance venue. A monaural audience recording remains of the valuable theater gig at the Palladium. This never saw the light of day in the analog era, but surprisingly, it was released on CD in the 21st century. This was a typical vintage audience, and the name was released as “NEW YORK PALLADIUM”. It was a release that was enough to please enthusiasts in that it released a valuable theater gig from 1978, but it seems that it was based on a master that was in a considerably degraded state, so it only had a vintage feel. However, the fact that the tape was damaged in many places was a major source of stress. Because of that, the only sound source that existed was the EXILE version (hereinafter referred to as the previously released version), but this time a trader provided us with a higher-end master in much better condition. In the first place, the opening announcement and the following “Let It Rock” caused a strong sound swell in the previously released version, but here there is no such problem at all, and the sound is stable enough to be understood at first listen. . In addition to that, the upper and natural feel of the sound quality itself is overwhelming. Although it is only in the category of vintage audience, if you are a maniac who has heard the previously released editions, you will suddenly find it easy to listen to these points alone. The stability of the sound source itself is completely different now, so the uneven rotation in “Miss You”, which was the biggest stress on the previously released album, and the undulations in the next song “Just My Imagination” are no longer present. We guarantee a level of ease of listening that can be said to be on another level. At the same time, we have properly adjusted the pitch deviation, so it has finally evolved into a state that enthusiasts can enjoy. With this overwhelming sense of stability brought about, in addition to the chaotic feeling unique to the early stages of the 1978 tour, the charm of the performance, which combines the intimacy unique to theater gigs, is abundantly conveyed. Judging from the energetic performance throughout, the 1978 tour is in full swing, but it accelerates even more when it comes to the second disc. “Shattered”, which starts with Mick’s scream, is a scene that can be called ’78, and the way “Tumbling Dice” and “Happy” end, which seem like a sudden brake on a powerful performance, are masterpieces. This complexity also seems like the 1978 tour. Not only the performance, but also the sense of realism that is conveyed from the recording to the intimacy that is typical of a theater. On this day, it was also interesting to see that from the beginning of the show, the surrounding audience showed a positive reaction to the then-new song “Onnatachi”. Isn’t this the only day in 1978 that even before the performance of the country tune “Far Away Eyes”, which was said to be “very unpopular” by Mick, people were anticipating the song? What’s more, the applause that erupts when Ronnie’s solo ends in “Love In Vain” is a kind of theater-like atmosphere. And, like the previously released version, the last track includes Peter Tosh’s “Don’t Look Back”, who served as the opening act. Of course, the jump before Mick’s performance, which can be called a 1978 specialty, is realized here as well, and you can enjoy watching him duet with Tosh. Again, it is a monaural vintage audience-exposed sound quality, and it is also a sound source with weak tape shaking. However, the hurdle of the precious 1978 theater gig has been lowered with an upper feeling that is incomparable to the previous releases!
