Rolling Stones/Tokyo,Japan 2.20.1990

We have discovered a new cassette audience master from February 20th, the only time the Rolling Stones performed “Little Red Rooster” during their first performance in Japan! However, on this day it was already released in that masterpiece box “DOME ON WHEELS”, and the sound quality is inferior compared to that. Regarding this time’s sound source, the sound image of the Stones is far away, and the recording state with vague outlines is something that makes you want to call it “The Tokyo Dome!” If you recorded from a normal seat in a dome around 1990, the sound quality would usually be like this. The position where the recording was actually carried out was from the stand seats on the first floor, and I am convinced that the sound quality is fully open with this dome feeling. If an overseas enthusiast were to look at this, it might have been dismissed as “fair quality audience recording,” but we Japanese (lol) find even this type of sound indescribably flavorful, and the Stones’ I think he is a maniac who continues to have a special feeling about his first visit to Japan. It’s true that it was recorded using normal cassette tape, and is surrounded by the echoes of 1990, making it a typical Tokyo Dome audience. The sounds we heard were “exactly like this!” and the memories of those days came back to us, and it was sure to warm our hearts. Tickets were extremely hard to come by, and just being at the venue was such a blissful experience, and I am breathing in the atmosphere of February 1990. Therefore, in a simple comparison, the quality is not even close to “DOME ON WHEELS”, and it is true that it is a sound source for enthusiasts. However, since the recording environment was completely different, during the emotional moment of the day, “Little Red Rooster”, we had the great advantage of not being bothered by the enthusiastic but singing voice of the fans singing “DOME ON~”, which sounded like they had breathed helium gas (bitter smile). be. The surprise when “Little Red Rooster” started from “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” is fully conveyed from this sound source. Also, when Keith Corner begins, a scene is captured in which a foreign customer seems to have asked (probably to the staff) how to go to the restroom, but even though it is in Tokyo Dome, the exchange sounds like an overseas Stones concert. interesting. And this time’s sound source stopped recording until the first half of “Satisfaction”, and after that, “DOME ON WHEELS” was patched to realize complete recording. At the same time, I think you can enjoy how the feel of this sound source is completely different due to this editing. Or the tremendous excitement when “Paint It Black” started, a real and fresh sense of presence that can only be experienced with this kind of recording. Those who experienced their first performance in Japan will surely feel excited when they hear this.
