Description
In 1989, Tom Petty became the darling of the era when his solo album “FULL MOON FEVER” became a huge hit. Introducing Mike Millard’s masterpiece that conveys the scene. What is infused into this work is “Los Angeles performance on July 29, 1989”. This is an exquisite audience recording. Speaking of the mirrored recording of “STRANGE BEHAVIOR Tour” accompanying “FULL MOON FEVER”, the masterpiece “COSTA MESA 1990 MIKE MILLARD MASTER TAPES”, which was discovered last year and became a big hit, is still fresh in my memory. This work is the second mirrored recording recorded on the same tour. First of all, let’s check the positional relationship of the sister works from the schedule at that time. 1989《“FULL MOON FEVER” released on April 24th》・July 5th – September 13th: North America #1 (45 performances) ←★Here★・October 28th: BRIDGE SCHOOL BENEFIT appearance 1990・1 March 26th – March 6th: North America #2 (26 performances) ← *COSTA MESA 1990/May 18th: Wilmington performance This is Tom Petty in 1989/1990. The tour was divided into “North America #1” in the summer of 1989 and “North America #2” in the early 1990s, and “COSTA MESA 1990” was a live album of the latter. On the other hand, this work is “North America #1” at the beginning of the tour. This was the 17th concert. Performances were held for three consecutive days at the Universal Amphitheater (currently Gibson Amphitheater), where Millard attended the show on the first day. This work recorded at such a show is a masterpiece that embodies the uniqueness of Millard, which is both clear and extremely thick. However, it is not top class even in the mirrored collection… To be honest, when it comes to “STRANGE BEHAVIOR Tour”, the sister work “COSTA MESA 1990″ is one step better. If you are astute, you may have noticed by the title, but while “COSTA MESA 1990” was the original cassette, this work has been transferred from “1st Generation Tapes”. However, normally a difference of one generation is not enough to overturn the superiority or inferiority of the recording. However, in the case of this work, aging deterioration can be seen from the beginning of the tape to the beginning, and the sound wavers (slightly). Another thing I regret is the enthusiasm of the audience. This is also only in the beginning, but the surrounding audience is a bit noisy. I’m not sure if I’m recommending it or not, but it’s also at the level of “I have to point it out because it’s a mirrored collection.” By normal standards, the enthusiasm around it is proof of an astronomical hit, and there is almost no sense of instability in the tape. Of course, the basic quality, such as the direct feeling of the core and the fineness of the details, is nothing to complain about, and from about 40 minutes into the performance, an ultra-excellent sound world comparable to the masterpiece “COSTA MESA 1990” opens up. . More important than the sound is the show itself. I have been repeating that it is a “sister work of COSTA MESA 1990” from a while ago, but in fact, despite the same tour, the sets are quite different. Let’s quickly compare and organize them. Tom Petty & THE HEARTBREAKERS (13 songs) American Girl (★)/Breakdown Destruction: Don’t Do Me Like That/Even The Losers/Refugee/Here Comes My Girl (★) Hard Promise :The Waiting/Something Big (★)・Long After Dark: You Got Lucky・Southern Accent: Don’t Come Around Here No More/Rebels・Let Me Up: Jammin’ Me (★)/How Many More Days Full Moon Fever (6 songs) / Feel A Whole Lot Better (★) / Free Fallin’ / I Won’t Back Down / A Face In The Crowd / Yer So Bad / Runnin’ Down A Dream Others ( 4 songs)・Ben’s Boogie/Milk Cow Blues (★: Kokomo Arnold)/Should I Stay Or Should I Go? (★: THE CLASH)/Keep Your Hands To Yourself (★: THE GEORGIA SATELLITES) *Note: “★ ” are songs that cannot be heard on the sister work “COSTA MESA 1990 (Zion-162)”. …and it looks like this. “COSTA MESA 1990” spent time on the big hit “FULL MOON FEVER” number and cover, but this work focuses on classics probably because it is the beginning of the tour. The classic “American Girl” is also played (or rather, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t played on “COSTA MESA 1990”), but on the other hand, the precious “Something Big” and “Jammin’ Me” are also played. He will show it off. What has changed even more is the cover group. It has been completely replaced with Kokomo Arnold’s standard “Milk Cow Blues”, THE CLASH’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?”, and THE GEORGIA SATELLITES’ “Keep Your Hands To Yourself”. Millard didn’t want to record the same band twice, so he visited the “STRANGE BEHAVIOR Tour” many times. This is a live album where you can enjoy that wonderful show with an absolutely masterful sound. In terms of overall score, the tour’s masterpiece remains “COSTA MESA 1990”. Even with the appearance of this work, that throne has not been shaken. However, the show content is too different. This work is not a rival work to “COSTA MESA 1990”, but a sister work that complements each other. Exquisite audience recording of “July 29, 1989 Los Angeles Performance”. Created by the absolute master Millard, this is a sister work that conveys the era of “FULL MOON FEVER” when it was a big hit, along with the press masterpiece “COSTA MESA 1990 (Zion-162)”. It is a masterpiece that embodies Millard’s individuality with both clarity and a thick core, and includes repertoire that cannot be heard even on “COSTA MESA 1990” such as “Something Big”, “Jammin’ Me”, “Feel A Whole Lot Better” and valuable cover songs. This is a live album where you can experience the best of a full show. Universal Amphitheater, Los Angeles, CA, USA 29th July 1989 Disc 1 (75:46) 1. Intro 2. I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better 3.
