Rolling Stones/Sydney,Australia 2006 Complete

The “A BIGGER BANG” tour was a slow start in 2005, but once the switch was turned on in 2006, the performance level rose all at once and it seems that the performance level rose one after another and a series of great performances were produced. In fact, the performance in Japan was also amazing, as if to show the difference from the previous year, and the same was true for Australia, which they visited after Japan. Rather, the Stones showed a great performance that maintained the momentum in Japan. However, in contrast to the Japanese performance where so many items were produced, the Australian performance was only released in real time. Now, combined with the timing right after the Japanese performance, it is undeniable that the fact that the performance was held has been forgotten. Despite such an unfortunate period, when it comes to Australia, this person “Waz From Oz” recorded the Sydney performance on April 11th firmly. In addition, “Waz From Oz” has released many valuable audiences capturing the Stones in 1973, but this time it was surprising that they provided the audience master directly without going through the Internet. The sound quality of the audience recording is really wonderful. The unique listening comfort that combines a moderate sense of distance and echo is outstanding. The quality that you should definitely enjoy the texture with headphones. And yet, since Mick’s singing voice is recorded nearby, it is finally easy to hear. When it comes to the B stage, the sound image becomes a little dumpling-like, but even that is not at a level that makes you feel stressed when listening. Above all, such an audience master has been kept secret until now. Also, on this day only, there was an incident where Bobby Keys was absent, and it is nostalgic now that many fans at the time wrote on the Internet, such as “What happened to Bobby today?”. Tim Reese was called in to fill the gap. The phrase he played in place of Bobby in the interlude of “Brown Sugar” was different from Bobby’s, and since it was suddenly called for, the phrase was a little dangerous. This is also a precious happening now, and its value as a record is high. And above all, the performance of the Stones was wonderful. They showed no signs of fatigue from touring Japan and China, and were in top form on this day as well. In particular, Mick maintained the brilliance he showed in Japan, and it is no wonder that he is now in top form. In the previous “Brown Sugar”, he shouted with high tension as if to incite pinch hitter Tim, which was also reliable. In fact, Mick’s tension on this day was so high that in the second half of the live performance, there was a scene where the performance did not mesh with the performance and the clouds looked suspicious, but even that was a smiley one because of the excess of momentum. That’s how outstanding the group centered around Mick was on this day. Charlie’s playing, who supports Mick, was also in top form. The wonderfulness of his playing, which supports the bass drum stomp that was heard at the ending of “Oh No, Not You Again”, the light “Start Me Up” and the “Satisfaction” that makes the whole band explode. At the time, I thought that was the norm, but now that he is gone, I wonder if Charlie was a unique presence. A maniac audience master from the 2006 Australian tour, when there were no decent items for a long time.
