Hot…just hot. Sound quality, performance, everything. A tour with “A BIGGER BANG”? Just recently, right? No, no, no, more than ten years have passed. It has reached a “vintage” level. The official club gig “LIGHT THE FUSE” was released a few years ago before the tour started. Of course, in 2005, countless items were produced as the tour progressed. In recent years, when the Stones tour, the phenomenon of items appearing in rapid succession from the first day’s performance has become a normal practice from the “VOODOO LOUNGE” tour to the present. I miss the tremendous release rush phenomenon that occurred on both press CDs and CD-Rs from the beginning of the tour in August for the “A BIGGER BANG” tour. However, it was also remembered as a characteristic of 2005 that the Stones’ engine did not fully open from August to around October. For example, in Philadelphia in October, Keith started playing “It’s Only Rock’n’ Roll” at the position where “Satisfaction” should have been played in the encore, and Mick still forcibly played “Satisfaction”, a legendary rare scene that symbolized this. Considering that they had such a promising gig at “LIGHT THE FUSE” before the tour started, it’s a strange phenomenon. The most attention-grabbing event at this time may have been Columbus in September, where they played “Sway” for the first time live. However, as the tour approached November, the Stones finally got into shape, and at special gigs at the Hollywood Bowl, they performed some pretty amazing performances. After all, the Stones had to be like this…Many of the items released at the time made it known that they were in top form during this period, which delighted enthusiasts all over the world. By December, the Stones were finally able to play an ironclad performance. The Stones were in such great form that there was an audience recording of the Houston performance on December 1st with great sound quality. Of course, such a superb sound source was not released, and at that time there was an item called “abiggerbangutourhouston05”. It was released by Check This Out!, a label with a name that sounds like a rap line, which mainly produced several tours in 2006. Some enthusiasts may remember it. The title is in lowercase letters without spaces in between, which is nostalgic, reminiscent of “A BIGGER BANG”, and there were many titles with a similar sense made at that time. As for “abiggerbangutourhouston05”, the excellent sound quality became a hot topic among some enthusiasts and specialist books. However, this title was made into a CD in an impossible state, where every song faded out. There were often items where gap noise was mixed in where the tracks were switched, but the state where every song faded out was quite disappointing even by the standards of 2005. It was an item that ruined everything because of that. Speaking of the original sound source, the recording quality is amazing even at the current level, even though more than ten years have passed since 2005. Anyway, the performance is close. The word “on sound image” fits perfectly. In addition, the clarity is outstanding. As if to match the condition of the Stones, high-quality audience recordings began to appear from November in the 2005 tour, but not only at that time, but also during the 2005 tour, the ultra recording boasts top quality without question. The real-time release was in a very disappointing state, but recently the master of this sound source suddenly appeared. Of course, the songs are not faded out or faded in, but it is a new master sound source that recorded the entire live performance uncut, so it is surprising. That alone is enough to surprise maniacs around the world, but the sound quality also achieves an upper level suitable for a master. Not only the problem between songs, but also the clarity is good, as if it has been peeled off by about two layers compared to “abiggerbangutourhouston05”, which was clearly equalized. The sound source, which originally boasted outstanding clarity, was finally made into a CD in the most natural state. In addition, while fine-tuning, equalization was added to further accentuate the contours of the performance, so even non-maniacs can enjoy it with peace of mind. And as mentioned earlier, the Stones’ performance is in top form, unique to December. The performance was played with tremendous momentum from the opening, and Mick was in perfect condition. The “A BIGGER BANG” tour was also a time when the song “Bitch” became a new peak, and this day was no exception to that example, and the explosive performance was heard. Keith, who plays hard, is also amazing. “Night Time” featuring Lisa Fischer is also nostalgic now, and the excitement here is also amazing. The scene where Mick reprises the song is also a development unique to this high-tension day. The performance of the rock numbers in the middle of the show, “Rough Justice” and “Get Off Of My Cloud”, is also overwhelming momentum. Even at the end of the show, Mick’s momentum did not weaken, and his spectacular shouts were heard at the ending of “Sympathy For The Devil” and “Satisfaction”. The final song, “Jumping Jack Flash”, was a spectacular performance in which the band attacked as one. Even after the performance, Charlie still played the drums as if he was not satisfied. It was such a hot performance… You will definitely be overwhelmed. You can listen to this great performance with an audience recording that boasts the highest clarity. A new standard for the 2005 tour, which appeared more than ten years after the tour. A great performance and a great sound source are here.
