Steve Miller Band/MO, USA 1989

In 1989, Steve Miller finished his honeymoon with Capitol, which he had been familiar with for many years, with his only solo album “BORN 2B BLUE”. The official soundboard album is now available. This work includes “July 8, 1989 Kansas City Performance”. It is the super best stereo sound board recording. The biggest point of this work is the quality of the wonderful sound board, but first of all the position of the show. Let’s take a look back at the overall picture of the tour that concluded the 80’s. 1988《“BORN 2B BLUE” released on October 5》・November 10-December 22: North America #1 (22 performances) 1989・February 20: Los Angeles performance・June 9-July 29th: North America #2 (20 performances) ←★Here★ ・November 16th: Montreal performance ・November 26th: EARTHQUAKE RELIEF CONCERT appearance This is Steve Miller in 1988/1989. At that time, it could not be called its heyday, and the style was limited to North America. The Kansas City performance of this work was the 11th concert of the main “North America #2”. This work recorded at such a show is a superb stereo sound board that is truly “super”. Even if you say “sound board”, the quality and individuality vary, but in the case of this work, “the sound quality is completely official grade” and “the individuality is directly connected to the mix desk”. It is based on DAT recorded directly from the desk at the scene, and there is no post-processing like FM broadcast or official products. It’s the type where the unprocessed on-site mix is ​​poured into your brain in its entirety, while loud cheers whisper far and wide. Moreover, this work is the highest grade version. In the first three songs, which are played by Steve, the vibrations of each guitar string are transmitted to the brain, and when the band comes in, the separation and stereo feeling are extremely vivid. Unlike official works, there is no production intended to create the “realism of a concert experience,” but the vivid feeling of live performance is overwhelming. The sense of synchronization that makes you feel like you have a stage in your head is a real pleasure that you cannot experience even with FM sound boards or official products. What is depicted with such a completely integrated sound is a full show that sums up a glorious career. The timing is a little different from the official traditional edition “STEVE MILLER BAND LIVE!” and the members are different, but when it comes to the quality that is so high, you can’t talk about it anywhere else. Let’s organize the sets while comparing them here. 60’s & Standards (6 songs)・SAILOR: Living in the U.S.A./Gangster Of Love・BRAVE NEW WORLD: Seasons (★)/Space Cowboy (★)・Cover: I Wanna Be Loved (★: Jimmy Reed)/Rollin ‘And Tumblin’ (★: Hambone Willie Newbern) 70’s (13 songs)・THE JOKER: The Joker・FLY LIKE AN EAGLE: You Send Me (★)／Wild Mountain Honey (★)／Mercury Blues／Fly Like an Eagle / Take the Money and Run / Serenade (★) / Rock’n Me ・BOOK OF DREAMS: True Fine Love (★) / The Stake (★) / Swingtown (★) / Jet Airliner / Jungle Love 80’s ( 6 songs)・ABRACADABRA：Abracadabra・ITALIAN : Ya Ya (★)／Born To Be Blue (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official version of “STEVE MILLER BAND LIVE!” …and it looks like this. All 10 songs that can be heard on the official edition “LIVE!” are performed, and an additional 15 songs are added to the huge edition. The core of the album are the two great multi-platinum albums “FLY LIKE AN EAGLE” and “BOOK OF DREAMS”, and the latest album “BORN 2B BLUE” is restrained with only two songs. The set, which overlooks the career with just the songs fans want, is a literal culmination of both selection and balance, and is truly the “best of live performances”. Greatest hits that are so great that even the official works are made into a super superb stereo sound board. It is valuable just because it is a live album from 1989, but it is not that good. This is a masterpiece of a live album that condenses Steve Miller’s Golden Capitol era into one show. Originally, it is a masterpiece that should be kept by the official.
