The Who/London,UK 1979 Complete

A miraculous new discovery of the original cassette of the famous “Kinney” who recorded the legendary scene! The legendary scene is “December 28, 1979 Hammersmith Odeon performance.” Yes, this is a superb audience recording when Paul McCartney and United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim appeared at the charity event “CONCERTS FOR THE PEOPLE OF KAMPUCHEA”. As many of you may know, a complete pro shot of this show has already been discovered, but this work is a live album that allows you to fully experience the scene with Kinney’s magical sound. At our store, we have unearthed a large number of Kinney’s original cassettes, but the most shocking work among them was “LIVE AID (Wardour-303)”, which was a live recording of the biggest event of the century. “LIVE AID” also had professional shots, but it was different from that… no, it gave us a taste of the “impression of the scene” that was even better. This work is the “CONCERTS FOR KAMPUCCHEA” edition, and it is the second THE WHO edition. In any case, let’s check the site first. The show itself was a legendary event that sparked a charity boom, but from THE WHO’s perspective, it was also the highlight of “THE WHO TOUR 1979”, which was revived with Kenny Jones and John Bundrick. Also, this tour cannot avoid tragic fatal accidents, so let’s check the schedule at that time.・May 2nd – September 1st: Europe (9 performances) ・September 10th – 18th: North America #1 (7 performances) ・November 10th – 17th: UK (4 performances) ・November 30th Sunday + December 2: North America #2a (2 performances) 《December 3: Fatal accident at Cincinnati performance》 ・December 4-17: North America #2b (10 performances) ・December 28: CONCERT FOR KAMPUCCHEA Appearance ←★This work★ [Beautiful recording beyond the sound board by the prestigious Kinney] This is THE WHO in 1979. Initially, the tour went smoothly in Europe and North America, but tragedy struck during the third performance of “North America #2” in which 11 people died. After the performance, the members who were attacked were beaten up, but the tour continued. About three weeks later, the highlight Hammersmith performance arrived. This work, which records the scene, is the crystallization of Kinney’s magic. In fact, some of it was released as “CONCERT FOR KAMPUCCHEA” in the analog era, but it was just a digest of less than an hour. This work is the original cassette, and you can fully enjoy the full show of 2 hours and 33 minutes. Of course, a full pro shot is enough for that, and the biggest point of this work is the sound. The familiar sound board sound has a core near the center, and it seems like it was intended for TV broadcasting, but this work is exactly the on-site sound. The ticket unearthed along with the tape read “CIRCLE STANDING UNRESERVED 127,” and it seems likely that the second floor seats were open to standing room. Therefore, it is not as immersive as a soundboard, but the natural sound and stereo feeling are rich and spread, giving you a strong sense of the “venue”. This does not mean “far away”. After all, the prestigious Kinney was recording with crystal clear beautiful sound even at Wembley Stadium (this is “LIVE AID”). For Kinney (and for THE WHO), Hammersmith Odeon is a rather small venue. The natural sense of space can even feel like a “closed room”. And its clarity surpasses even the standard sound board. The beauty of being able to clearly feel the outline of each instrument and each note is more dynamic than a sound board that is packed with flat plates, and shines brightly. The best audience recording is by no means a “substitute for a sound board”, but has a unique beauty and vividness, but this work is its highest peak. It even sounds like it has a “life force” in it. [A hands-on on-site experience that lets you understand the true meaning of “historic performance”] It’s delicious just to be able to listen to a historical performance with such lively sound, but the enthusiasm on the set is even more amazing. Of course, this work is not (never!) a recording that is plagued by strange voices and screams. However, the bound room of Hammersmith is filled with an overflowing enthusiasm, and people are singing the lyrics of famous songs. Even if each member’s strange voice did not stand out, the presence of the crowd writhed in a huge wave, moving left and right along with each member’s every move. For example, “I Can’t Explain.” At the end of the song, a sudden sound of “Oh!” rises up, but here Pete Townshend was actually showing the action of turning his arm. The movement was so violent that the venue erupted into excitement. With traditional professional shots, you can’t tell the audience’s reaction, and even when you see Pete’s actions and facial expressions, you just get the impression that he’s doing it. However, in this work, the “temperature” of the scene instantly boils, and you feel the heat making your hands go numb. Of course, this is just one example. The excitement in the venue grew with each song, and towards the end Hammersmith became like a sauna bath. This show is known as a masterpiece representing the second season of THE WHO, but what we knew was only “knowledge”. How passionate was the scene and how captivating was that performance? This work is a live album that allows you to “experience” it with your own skin. It’s not just high sound quality, it’s not just a great performance. You may be thinking, “Is there an audience now that there is a complete version of the pro shot?”, but I would like those who are like that to listen and compare. Even if you use a traditional standard sound board that is stuck in your ears, it will sound like a “dead sound” just by playing music on a flat board. To that extent, the sound of this work is “alive”. Boasting ease of listening and beauty that surpasses that of a soundboard, the performance also feels lively, with the heat on set and the excitement bubbling from deep within the body in perfect sync. It is a miraculous new excavation that will remind you of the “real thrill of live” itself. Following the legendary “LIVE AID” and the same event’s QUEEN edition “HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1979 LEGENDARY MASTER TAPES (Wardour-405)”, the prestigious Kinney also recorded the scene of THE WHO. This is a 3-disc set that preserves the entire design.
