Description
The reason why the sound source of the Rolling Stones’ tour is not available as expected is that the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for overseas groups other than the United States to participate, especially for tapers in Europe, and this is one of the major reasons. Another factor is that we are in the age of smartphones, and everyone is more interested in filming than recording. This is proven by the overwhelming amount and speed of videos circulating on social media during this tour. Therefore, since the release of the CD “ST. LOUIS 2021” on the first day of the tour, many people were anxious because the release of the following performances did not appear. I can’t help but think that this was due to the circumstances mentioned above. So they released the Nashville, the fourth day of the tour. This was another sound source that seemed to reflect the current situation, and it was a rip of the audio that a maniac live-streamed from the audience on social media. Therefore, it was of a different nature from an ordinary audience recording. The sound quality itself was close to the sound image, and yet it was easy to listen to, but there was a sense of discomfort that the edges of the sound were swishy because it was a live broadcast. That alone would have been fine, but the laughter of the nearby audience was quite noticeable, and to top it off, the app on the smartphone was activated during the broadcast, and the sound of the app starting up was mixed into the performance twice. This could also be called a disadvantage of the fact that it was filmed by a non-taper audience. Still, it was made into a CD because it included big topics such as the latest performance being heard and “Connection” being heard, but on the morning of the day it was announced, a high-quality Nashville audience recording finally appeared on a major torrent site. As for the sound source this time, the sound quality is truly wonderful, starting with the closeness of the powerful sound image. The sound quality in St. Louis was also good, but the quality of this sound source exceeds that. At this point, I think it’s safe to say that it’s the best of this tour. It’s already been a big topic, but the idea of taking up “Connection” in Keith Corner because Steve Jordan participated in the tour is too good. After all, Steve played this song every night as a backup for Keith during his time with the Expensive Wines, so this is a repertoire that he has been using for a long time. That’s why there is no “feeling of trial and error” in other Stones repertoires, and thanks to the sound quality, you can clearly hear how confident he is playing. I hope he will continue to play this in the future. Speaking of “feeling of trial and error,” “Midnight Rambler” doesn’t develop to a peak yet in the middle of the performance, but it still shows a much more thrilling development than St. Louis, and I’m looking forward to seeing it in the future. By the way, during the performance of this song, security seemed to pass in front of the taper, and I was surprised to see the sound coming from his walkie-talkie flowing from right to left. Be careful when listening with headphones. And the Brian period repertoire, such as “19th Nervous Breakdown,” which caused a big stir in St. Louis, and “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” are played with such momentum that it seems as if they have literally been brought back to life. The sound quality is so good that it even captures the sound of Darryl Jones’ bass, but in “19th Nervous,” it is refreshing to hear that he is playing a bass that respects Bill Wyman more than ever before. Perhaps Steve and the two of them had a meeting. In this way, the momentum of the rhythm section’s performance is fueled by the momentum of the three Stones’ performance. With Charlie gone, it is only because of the high quality sound source that you can feel the effort they are making between them! (Remastering Memo) Since the original sound quality is high, it is a fine adjustment, but the hall sound in the mid-range has been suppressed. The overall sound pressure has been increased. The recording level adjustment of Disc1 2trk 0:29 – 1:38 has been made as flat as possible. Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN, USA 9th October 2021 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc 1 (67:56) 1. Intro 2.
