Toto/France 1987 Upgrade

The era of the masterpiece “FAHRENHEIT” featuring Joseph Williams. The stereo sound board album that is a symbol of this is reprinted in the highest quality. The symbolic work includes “Paris performance on February 4, 1987”. This is the official soundboard recording. TOTO, who pioneered a new era with Joseph, also performed in Japan, but in reality, their worldwide live activities were quite limited. First of all, let’s look back at the show’s position from the panoramic view of “FAHRENHEIT TOUR 1986-1987”, including the situation. ●1986《“FAHRENHEIT” released on August 25th》・October 22nd: Santa Cruz performance・October 29th-November 7th: Japan (8 performances)・November 10th: Honolulu performance●1987・January 20th – February 5th: Europe (11 performances) ←★Here★ That’s a total of 21 performances. Although they did have some shows in their home country of America, they only had two. Japan in 1986 and Europe in 1987 were the only times that could be called a “tour” that involved traveling and performing repeatedly. Under such circumstances, the Paris performance of this work was the 10th performance of the “European” leg…or rather, it was the second-to-last and final concert. Since there are so few shows, there are naturally few records. Even audience recording is a rare tour, but the Paris performance is known for being the only perfect sound board left on this tour. This work is its highest peak edition. In the past, there were records that did not have “Africa” and the pitch was significantly out of order, but this work has no such drawbacks. Although it is a fade-in, “Africa” is also recorded with Jeff Porcaro’s drum solo, and the pitch is accurate. In fact, “Africa” gets noisy temporarily, but the quality other than that is ironclad. The recording is seamless, the mix is ​​beautifully balanced, and the sound and stereo feel are perfect. It is a beautiful sound board that is worthy of being called “official grade”. Moreover, we are talking about the official standards at the time. This is not a bad thing. The modern official standard is a sound that is pushed hard with power because sound pressure gain has become the norm, but this work is different. It retains the exquisite subtlety and sense of separation, and is full of the delicacy that was unique to that time. It is a superb sound board that records sounds typical of the 80s. It is irresistible because it is the extremely valuable “FAHRENHEIT TOUR” that is depicted with such quality. The set is exactly 4 pieces of concentrated reduction of “TOTO”, “HYDRA”, “IV”, and “FAHRENHEIT”. In addition to Golden’s major songs, they will also perform plenty of numbers unique to the time, such as “Mama,” “Till The End,” “Somewhere Tonight,” and “Could This Be Love.” Of course, most of the songs have been played since Joseph’s return, but here he is 26 years old. You can listen to her youthful yet passionate fresh singing voice. Also, the encore “(Reach Out) I’ll Be There” is even more valuable than the original. This is a cover of 60’s Motown’s FOUR TOPS. It is an extremely rare song that is said to have only been played with one hand in the entire history of TOTO, but you can enjoy it on the official quality sound board. In any case, the valuable “FAHRENHEIT TOUR”. This is the highest peak of the only sound board recording. Live at Le Zenith, Paris, France 4th February 1987 STEREO SBD(UPGRADE) Disc 1 (42:48) 1.
