Description
In 1981, U2 was not a huge name in the music world, but a rock band that was still young and on the rise. Introducing a soundboard album that represents the pre-breakthrough era. What is engraved in this work is “November 28, 1981 Los Angeles Performance”. This is a superb stereo soundboard recording recorded at the famous venue “Hollywood Palladium”. The biggest points of this work are the brilliant sound and the explosive live performance itself. But first and foremost is Shaw’s position. Let’s take a look back at the overall picture of “OCTOBER TOUR 1981-1982”, which traveled the world with passion. 1981/August 16-September 2: Europe #1 (6 performances)《OCTOBER released on October 12》 ・October 1-November 4: Europe #2 (29 performances)・11 March 13th-December 13th: North America #1 (23 performances) ←★Coco★・December 20th + 21st: London (2 performances)・January 23rd-26th, 1982: Ireland (3 performances)・February 11th – March 30th: North America #2 (32 performances) [September – November production of “WAR”] This is the journey from “OCTOBER” to “WAR”. There were two North American tours at the end of 1981 and early spring of 1982, but the Los Angeles performance of this work was the former. This was the 11th concert of “North America #1″. I introduced the masterpiece sound board “BOSTON 1981 Pre-FM”, but this work is also two weeks after that. Such a show is also known for being broadcast on the radio, and its FM soundboard has become a standard. This work has become a hot topic with its highest peak master. In fact, the sound is superb. “BOSTON 1981 Pre-FM”, which I introduced the other day, was at a level that could be officially released as is, but this work is even brighter. Every single note is vivid and sharp. In particular, with Edge’s guitar, each arpeggio attack note stands out clearly, and the extended reverberation is clear even down to the vibe. “BOSTON 1981 Pre-FM” contained the warmth of an analog master, but this work has a glittering sound as if it was digitized directly from the master tape and polished. There have been previous releases that have been increased with a generation master, but this work is a sound board album that can be pushed only with the best master. And what is depicted with that shining sound is the young U2 rocking passionately. Although it is short at about 42 minutes without an encore, probably due to the broadcasting time, the repertoire unique to that time is concentrated within that limited time. You can listen to several songs from the live performance at that time on the bonus CD of the remastered version “OCTOBER”, so let’s compare and organize the sets. Boy (7 songs + α)・Another Time, Another Place (★) / A Day Without Me (★) / The Cry / The Electric Co. / Stories for Boys (★) / I Will Follow / Twilight (★) / Out of Control (★) Irish October (4 songs)・Gloria/I Threw a Brick Through a Window/Rejoice (★)/I Fall Down *Note: Songs marked with “★” are not available on the bonus CD of “OCTOBER”. …and it looks like this. As a matter of fact, “BOSTON 1981 Pre-FM” may have more songs in terms of volume, but in this work “A Day Without Me” which can not be heard there will be performed. Of course, you can also enjoy famous songs from the early days, such as “Another Time, Another Place,” “Rejoice,” and “Stories for Boys,” which are impossible to hope for now, with completely official sound. And the performance that spells out such a set is overwhelming. After all, Bono and Adam were 21 years old at the time, and Edge and Larry had just turned 20. The power and dynamism that overflows from the performance of these four people is amazing. 42 minutes is too short in my everyday sense, but when you think about it, it’s almost the size of an analog record. If an official live album had been produced at that time…the shining sound quality and the dense performance are a record that is the exact embodiment of such delusions. A superb stereo soundboard album that is perfect for experiencing the blazing U2 on the verge of breaking out. Superb stereo soundboard recording of “November 28, 1981 Los Angeles Performance”. This is the highest level master of the classic FM sound source, and is truly of the official level. It is a glaring sound board that looks as if it has been digitized directly from the master tape and polished. Although it is short at about 42 minutes without an encore, probably due to the broadcast time, the repertoire unique to that time was concentrated within that limited time. You can enjoy famous songs from the early days such as “A Day Without Me,” “Another Time, Another Place,” “Rejoice,” and “Stories for Boys” with completely official sound.
