U2/Germany 1983 & more Upgrade

The best pro shot representing the legendary “WAR TOUR” has been upgraded to be the best ever! The representative videos are “August 20, 1983, St. Goarshausen Performance” and “May 30, 1983, San Bernardino Performance.” Yes, this is a very famous professional shot known for “ROCKPALAST OPEN AIR FESTIVAL 1983” and “THE US FESTIVAL 1983”. This is a good opportunity, so let’s imagine the show’s position from the overall picture of “WAR TOUR”. [1982]《September-October production of “WAR”》・December 1st-24th: Europe #1 (20 performances) [1983]《“WAR” released on February 28th》・February 26th -April 3rd: Europe #2 (29 performances) ・April 23rd – June 29th: North America (48 performances)←★Here★ ・July 2nd – August 21st: Europe #3 (5 performances) )←★Coco★・November 16th-30th: Hawaii + Japan (7 performances), total 109 performances. Buoyed by the album’s huge success, the tour quickly established them as a major band. The “US FESTIVAL” of this work was the 28th concert in “North America”, and the “ROCKPALAST FESTIVAL” was the 4th concert in “Europe #3”. These two big stages have been broadcast on TV for a long time, and “WAR TOUR” has reigned as a symbolic image along with the official “UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY”. This work is a major decision board in which these two major professional shots have been upgraded. Now, let’s introduce each of them in detail. [August 20, 1983: ROCKPALAST OPEN AIR FESTIVAL] First up is “ROCKPALAST FESTIVAL”. “WAR TOUR” was the final performance here in Japan, but it was a show just before that. The visual beauty is ultimate! Of course, it will be shot in analogue fashion, but the quality is as good as even modern digital footage…This is why this work is truly a digital master. In fact, this video is a digital broadcast that was rebroadcast in the summer of 2017. Of course, there is no dubbing deterioration or aging deterioration at all. Not only the performance of the members, but also the sunlight reflecting off the guitar and the expressions of the audience, the ultra-vivid visual beauty that can only be seen in modern digital broadcasting spreads. This beauty… well, I guess you could say it’s like wearing glasses that are a little too harsh. When making glasses, the power is lowered a little to make it easier to live with, but the visual beauty of this work is so vivid that it looks “too much” like glasses that do not lower the power. That is the visual beauty comparable to the official version “UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY”. [May 30, 1983: THE US FESTIVAL] Next up is the biggest rock event of the century, “US FESTIVAL.” It’s literally a gigantic festival that is said to have attracted 670,000 people over four days, and U2 performed on “ROCK DAY” on the third day. He gave legendary performances with David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Joe Walsh and more. This work is the highest peak video of such a legendary stage. Air checks on TV broadcasts are famous, but this work is completely different. It is a leaked master before the broadcast. I can tell that it is an analog master because there is a noise of less than 0.1 seconds as it seems to be playing, but after that there is not even a single white line noise. It appears to be a copy of the original master, and there are no signs of dubbing. The audio is also the best stereo sound board. I recorded it in the second half because it is not digital and there are moments when the audio contains very slight noise, but it is definitely the best ever…I would say that it has remained with amazing image and sound quality so far. It’s a super clear image that I couldn’t even imagine. What a wonderful thing that these two major festivals are depicted with such quality! Of course, “WAR TOUR” itself could be tasted in “UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY”, but the “rawness” and “feeling of continuous recording” of this work is unique to broadcast recording. The set filled with the super masterpieces of the early trilogy, the youthful live music and the appearance of Bono alone are overwhelming, but the audience who witness it is also amazing. In particular, the huge audience at the US FESTIVAL, which left a huge mark on history, was overwhelming. Although you can clearly see the enthusiastic expressions of the people in the audience, the farther back you go, the smaller the faces become, until the far horizon is filled with faces. And then, the “human land” ripples to the tune of the melody, undulating as if a giant creature were breathing… This work is a concert video of a young U2, but it is also much more than that. Not only the wonderful music of “WAR TOUR”, but also the “breath of the times” that made them so loved. This is a great professional shot picture scroll that depicts it with the highest quality ever. Recorded from the master rebroadcast at the end of July 2017. An obvious upgrade.
