Like “TOKYO DOME 1995 1ST NIGHT: DAT MASTER”, which will be released for the first time in a long time and with the best audience, the second day of the Tokyo Dome in 1995 has also become a day where it is difficult to see the real-time items, and it feels like it has become a difficult day to even get a glimpse of what kind of performance was actually being performed. In the first place, the sound quality of the audience recording used for the items released at that time was not great. So, we will introduce the taper that provided valuable sound sources such as the first day of the Tokyo Dome, which was released at the same time, and the famous album “TOKYO DOME 1995 5TH NIGHT: DAT MASTER”, which is now on sale. The sound quality is also really wonderful, and the total balance of the recording state is just between the first day and the fifth day. Therefore, the balance of Charlie’s drums is not as forward as the former, and the sound image of the entire performance is closer than the latter. Therefore, although it is a taper with high basic quality, let us say that this sound source is recorded in the most easy-to-listen-to state among them. In fact, unlike the first day, this was an audience recording made in the D block of the arena, but it ended up being the most well-balanced, which is interesting. Also, the acoustic corner introduced on the first day finally featured “Love In Vain” as a result of the Tokyo session, which caused a big stir among enthusiasts at the time. Not only was it the first appearance on the tour, but it was also an acoustic version recorded in the previous session, so it was a big deal. Naturally, the atmosphere was completely different from the live arrangements in 1969 and 1978, and I was very impressed by the acoustic performance, which was different from the studio version. The subsequent performance of “Dead Flowers” was an acoustic performance that had already been performed in Miami, but it was a perfect selection from the previous song, and any enthusiast who was there would have been ecstatic. This surprise made “Love In Vain” a must-have bonus track for the 1995 Japan tour real-time items, and also produced items that recorded the entire live performance in full, but the quality of the audience recording this time is so outstanding that it can easily dismiss them. Moreover, when it comes to the acoustic part, the sound quality improves and it becomes easier to hear. Looking back, the set list of the 1995 Japan tour was more varied in the first half of the tour, and I miss the surprise of “Love In Vain” that was spread by word of mouth of enthusiasts in an era when the Internet was not yet widespread. I think this day was the peak of such a varied first half of the tour. After this, the acoustic corner was reduced to one song, and as a result, it returned to the conventional configuration, so it was even more so. Also, since the first day of the Tokyo Dome was safely completed, Mick, who must have been relieved, sings in a relaxed manner, which is also a point not to be missed. It is clear that “Tumbling Dice” was a flashpoint for him, and then “Shattered” immediately reaches its peak. Mick’s high-tension singing of the same song was heard in “TOKYO DOME 1995 5TH NIGHT: DAT MASTER”, but he was flying again on this day. After that, “I Go Wild” was also performed as wild as the song title, and the whole group with Mick at the center did not let up at all. And as the live approached the end, he screamed “Motto? Motto?” before starting “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll”, and it was enough to give me goosebumps. The Stones are known for their strong recording skills, but in the case of the Tokyo Dome in 1995, it felt like they were able to play more freely and with higher tension on the main performance and the previous fifth day than on March 12. The sound quality of the real-time items did not convey the dynamic appearance of the Stones with Mick at the center on the second day of the Tokyo Dome. However, if you listen to this superb sound source, you will be reminded that the whole day, which tends to be focused only on “Love In Vain”, was very wonderful.
