The Band/OR,USA 1984 2Days

THE BAND in the 1980s reunited with Richard Manuel for the first time in six years, without Robbie Robertson. Introducing a powerful soundboard set that allows you to recreate the reunion tour in your mind. There are two performances included in this work. “Portland performance on March 11th + 12th, 1984”. This is a 4-disc set with the stereo soundboard recording arranged on 2 discs each. They reunited in 1983 and reached a major milestone with Manuel’s suicide in 1986, but by then they had also made their legendary first visit to Japan. In order to sort out this situation, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time and check the show’s position. 1983 / June 25th – August 1st: North America #1 (10 performances) / August 25th – September 5th: Japan (8 performances) ← *Official video / October 12th – November 26th : North America #2 (21 performances) 1984: February 28-September 8: North America #3 (33 performances) ←★Here★ 1885: July 14-November 2: North America #4 (28 Performances) 1986: January 20th – March 3rd: North America #5 (16 performances) [March 4th: Richard Manuel passed away] This is THE BAND from the reunion until Manuel’s death. The above are only performances under the name “THE BAND”; in addition to these, there were also member solo and duo tours, as well as THE BYRDS tribute tours in which Danko and others participated. The Portland performance of this work is “North America #3”, the second year of the reunion. This was the 5th or 6th concert. This work, which records such a show, is a super vivid sound board with the core exposed. Although information on the broadcast is unknown, the sound itself does not have the polish of an FM broadcast, and it seems like it was recorded directly from the mix table of the on-site PA. Of course, that’s a virtue, not a flaw. The rough and raw performance as it was on set is poured directly into your brain without any frills. Rather than recreating a concert scene, the feeling of synchronization where the four people (+ support) perform live and their whole bodies are completely in sync is amazing. Moreover, even though it is rough, the sound quality itself is superb. Although it feels slightly rough on the first day (DISC 1-2), on the second day (DISC 3-4) it is glossy until the sound. The situation at that time was also left in the official video of the Japan performance “JAPAN TOUR ’83”, but it is as good as the official sound board. What is drawn with such a super direct sound is a full show that closely resembles the legendary first visit to Japan, but also has delicious seasonings of daily songs. Here, let’s compare the two performances together with “JAPAN TOUR ’83”. Same for both days ・Music from Big Pink: Long Black Veil/(Genetic Method) Chest Fever/The Weight/I Shall Be Released ・The Band: Rag Mama Rag/King Harvest (Has Surely Come) ・Stage Flight: The Shape I’m In/W.S. Walcott Medicine Show/Stage Fright, Moondog, Matinee: Mystery Train, Southern Cross: It Makes No Difference, Others: Milk Cow Boogie/You Don’t Know Me/Caldonia/Java Blues Daily Songs – First day only: Voodoo Music / Up On Cripple Creek / Blaze Of Glory / One More Shot (★) / Willie And The Hand Jive / Ophelia – Second day only: When I Get My Reward (★) / (I Don’ t Want To) Hang Up My Rock And Roll Shoes/Every Night & Every Day (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on “JAPAN TOUR ’83”. …and it looks like this. The songs played on both days centered around the three songs “MUSIC FROM BIG PINK,” “THE BAND,” and “STAGE FRIGHT,” which are the same as the Japanese performance. A style that changes color with daily songs. These are two performances that vividly revive that performance in Japan, but are also a bit different. The pleasure of being able to assemble the show from that time in your head with a very thick stereo sound board that is directly descended from Do. This is a big and exquisite live set where you can enjoy the best part of the two performances. A 4-disc set that is an absolute masterpiece of the reunion era. Stereo soundboard recording set of “Portland performance on March 11th + 12th, 1984”. It’s a super vivid sound that sounds like it was recorded directly from the mix table of the on-site PA, and the rough and raw performance as it was on the scene is poured directly into your brain without any frills. The live performance of the four people (plus support) and the synchronized feeling of their whole bodies being completely in sync is amazing. An absolute 4-disc set that will recreate in your mind two delicious repertoires that cannot be heard in the official video “JAPAN TOUR ’83” such as “One More Shot,” “When I Get My Reward,” and “Every Night & Every Day.” is.
