Roxy Music/France 1982 Complete

From the 1982 “AVALON” tour, France was almost completely recorded with the highest level of high-quality audience recording of the Cap d’Agde performance on August 26th, the 9th performance of the tour. The day after the main sound source was also the recording day of the official video “The High Road”, which is the highlight of the first half of the tour, and the opening act at this time was also a luxurious tour called King Crimson reorganized in the 80s. The songs to be performed have already been finalized, and even though the tour has just begun, the live performance can be enjoyed with a stable content. This seems to be a lesson learned from the previous Flesh + Blood tour, where Ferry became unwell due to a busy schedule and had to cancel, and it is also considered to be a sign that they were conducting this tour in perfect condition. . Although it is almost the same as the AVALON tour standard “HighRoad”, it is a good sound source that allows you to experience the live performance at the time with the realistic feeling that can only be achieved by audience recording. This day seems to have been an outdoor concert, and in the first MC after the second song, Out Of The Blue, you can hear the words, “Sorry it rained, sorry for keeping you waiting.” In terms of sound quality, it is one of the best quality recordings of the 1982 “AVALON” European tour sound source, and as a microphone recording on analog cassette tape, the sound is unimaginable and captures the entire show. You can enjoy it. There is a loss due to a tape change in the second half of Avalon, but other than that the concert is completely recorded, making it a first-class record. A must-have disc for fans, where you can fully enjoy Roxy’s gorgeous and full-scale performances from this period Live at Les Arenes, Le Cap d’Agde, France 26th August 1982 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc 1(43:17) 1.
