Rolling Stones/TX,USA 1981 Remastered

The Rolling Stones 1981 tour has had some screen footage of the October leg leaked. The most famous is the Kingdome in Seattle on the 14th, but another October screen footage is the Astrodome in Houston on the 28th. While the Kingdome was rich in both video and sound releases, this one has tended to be overlooked in recent years. Considering that it was an October screen footage on par with the Kingdome in the boot video era, perhaps the roughness that is common in leaked footage, along with the Kingdome, has prevented items from being produced in the DVD era. As mentioned at the beginning, it is a leaked footage of footage originally shot for the screen, so it is not master quality. However, it is based on a version with a sufficiently enjoyable image quality. The versions that have been around until now often had a slight pitch drop at the leak stage, so we first adjusted that. Also, speaking of the Houston footage, there is a phenomenon of sound distortion in the first two songs. In recent years, a soundboard recording of the PA out that did not go through the video feed on the same day was unearthed, and there was also the option of replacing it, but there was a major balance problem with Keith’s guitar being weak. As was the case at the Kingdome, the video feed soundboard is also attractive because of the presence of Keith’s guitar. Therefore, for this release, we decided to use the original audio as is. And the advantage of the video itself being easier to see than the Kingdome is also not to be missed. As was the case with the 1977 Led Zeppelin video, which will have a soundboard album based on a similar screen video, the Kingdome screen video has a slow-motion effect where the movements from a few minutes ago are played in between songs. This is now completely outdated, but Houston does not have such a device, and the live performance itself is captured straight from start to finish, making it very easy to see. Furthermore, as the Kingdome video and audio proved, the momentum and unrestrainedness shone through in the October leg, and there are probably many enthusiasts who feel that this is more Stones-like and better than the November Meadowlands, which was used in the movie “LET’S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER”. By the time they reached Hampton in December, the most popular stop on the ’81 tour, it had been upgraded to a level of perfection appropriate for the end of the tour, but it was definitely October where the looseness that is unique to the Stones shone the most on this tour. First of all, the members’ looks were not as stylish as they were in Hampton, and they appeared in the fashion of the ’81 tour that everyone knows. As for Mick, he was wearing a yellow tank top, so when he took off his jacket, he turned into a full-body yellow man. What’s even more noteworthy is the performance content of this day. “Neighbours,” which seems like it can be finished but can’t be finished, is well known to enthusiasts as a performance of the day, but there are other highlights as well. “Let Me Go,” which seems like it can be finished but can’t be finished, is similarly finished, but if you look at the video, Mick still doesn’t have the service of running around the audience, and instead he is forcing Ronnie to kiss him (laughing out loud) while playing. Furthermore, at the end of “Twenty Flight Rock”, Keith and Mick are seen playing around, which is a scene that is very similar to the scene seen in the photo of the live album “STILL LIFE” from the 1981 tour. At the same time, if you look closely, you will notice that Keith’s fashion on this day is strange. A few songs after the show starts, he takes off his jacket and wears something like a corset around his waist. But that’s not all. You can see that the guitar strap that Keith wears that day has something like a cushion attached with tape to the part that touches his shoulder. However, Keith at the Kingdome did not have such equipment, and it was clearly a special specification for this day. Keith probably hurt his back. Is this a slipped disc? However, thanks to such care, although it looks a little strange, it is reassuring that he plays the guitar with his usual crisp stage action. That’s why Keith’s sound is important for the audio on this day. And this video does not include “Brown Sugar”, but it seems that it was the timing of changing the Esoraku video, and the absence of the song will not be resolved by the video in the future. Even if you deduct this point, the pro shot video capturing the mischievous and unrestrained appearance of the Stones in October is worth watching. This is a pro shot video of the 1981 live performance that is full of the Stones’s likeness, which we hope you will enjoy carefully, especially for DVD generation enthusiasts who have been overlooked in recent years and do not even know the existence. The pitch was slightly fast, so we corrected it. (1% – about 19% of a semitone faster)Houston Astrodome, Houston, TX, USA 28th October 1981 PRO-SHOT (128:17) 1. Take The ‘A’ Train 2.
