Sting/Seoul,Korea 2019

Japan in 2019 is bursting with excitement on the ultimate greatest hits tour “MY SONGS TOUR”. A live album from the Korean performance, which was a prelude to that, is now available. This work includes “Seoul performance on October 5, 2019”. This is an audience recording from a performance at the Korean music festival “SLOW LIFE SLOW LIVE FESTIVAL.” “MY SONGS TOUR” was held in North America until September 2nd, but after that they took about a month off and invaded Asia. The Asia tour is currently underway with 6 performances in 2 countries, Korea and Japan. This week, the first Japanese album “MAKUHARI 2019” will be released, so let’s get an idea of ​​the show’s position from the overall Asia tour that includes both countries. ●Korea・October 5th: Seoul ←★Here★ ●Japan・October 7th: Fukuoka International Center・October 9th: Makuhari Messe “MAKUHARI 2019”・October 10th: Makuhari Messe “MAKUHARI 2019”・10 March 13th: Xebio Arena Sendai October 15th: Maruzen Intec Arena Osaka A total of 6 performances. As mentioned above, the previous performance was in early September, so the Seoul performance was also a warm-up show before the Japan tour. This work, which records the first day in Asia, is a tasteful audience recording. The best thing about it is its crisp core. It’s not extremely clear, and the tone is a little warm, but it’s not that far away either. There is a solid response to the deep bass, and you can hear every subtle detail in both the performance and the singing voice. The reason for this is probably the venue. The venue was an outdoor stage set up for the “Original Pick Performance”, and there were no walls or ceilings to reflect sound. Although the tone is warm, there are no echoes that mask details. And what is depicted with such a sound is the super greatest hits that are currently making Japan crazy. It’s different from Europe, America, and Japan, so let’s break it down here. ●THE POLICE (9 songs)・OUTLANDOS D’AMOUR: So Lonely/Roxanne/Next To You・REGGATTA DE BLANC: Message In A Bottle/Walking On The Moon・GHOST IN THE MACHINE: Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic・SYNCHRONICITY ：Wrapped Around Your Finger／Every Breath You Take／King Of Pain ●Solo and others (9 songs)・THE DREAM OF THE BLUE TURTLES：If You Love Somebody Set Them Free・…NOTHING LIKE THE SUN：Englishman In New York・TEN SUMMONER’S TALES: If I Ever Lose My Faith In You/Seven Days/Fields Of Gold/Shape Of My Heart・BRAND NEW DAY:Brand New Day/Desert Rose・44/876:If You Can’t Find Love…and this It looks like this. Our most recent report was on the French performance “CARCASONE 2019”, but compared to that, “Russians”, “Fragile” and “Waiting For The Break Of Day” were dropped, and “If You Can’t Find Love” was added. . However, “Fragile” was scheduled to be played at the end of the encore on that day, but it seems that it was omitted due to time constraints. The added song “If You Can’t Find Love” is quite rare and was included in the deluxe edition of “44/876”, a collaboration with Shaggy. It started playing from the North American tour in August. Although it includes some rare songs, the highlight of this work is the super greatest hits that you can listen to at once. You can feel the gorgeousness of each song, but what emphasizes it is the audience’s excitement. I don’t know much about Sting’s popularity in Korea, but the enthusiasm for it is high. Although the strange voices nearby were not bothersome, the voices chanting a number of hit songs spread out loud and loud, and the cheering was enthusiastic. Autumn has already begun to set in, but you can immerse yourself in the masterpieces in an exhilarating mood that feels like a summer festival. “If You Can’t Find Love” has a slightly more interesting addition. As mentioned above, it is a rare song, but when the intro plays, a huge cheer goes up. Just when I thought that Korean popularity is amazing, the cheers suddenly stopped and silence enveloped the venue, with no applause or chanting. Maybe it’s because I’m listening to a quiet song, but it’s really fun to see the honest reactions. Even during this update, Japan’s final Osaka performance is being held, but the recording festival is yet to begin. This is a live album from the Korean performance that will be a prelude to that. This is a work that will make you look forward to the Japanese recordings that will appear in the future. Olympic Park 88 Garden, Seoul, Korea 5th October 2019 PERFECT SOUND Disc 1(42:59) 1. Intro 2.
