U2/Germany 1983 Upgrade

The “WAR Tour” was a mass production of the finest soundboards that accompanied the breakthrough. A soundboard album that will further enrich the collection has been decided to be released. This work records the “August 20, 1983 Sankt Goarshausen performance”. It is a stereo soundboard recording from the performance at the West German music festival “Lorelei Festival”. Speaking of the “WAR Tour”, masters who have recently updated the highest peaks in the past have been unearthed one after another. The masterpieces “HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1982” and “TIFFANY’S 1983” have been very well received, and the masterpiece “BOSTON 1983 2ND NIGHT” has been decided. It is truly a bumper crop area. However, the Lorelei performance of this work is slightly different from any of them. In order to understand this, let’s first look back on the overall picture of the “WAR Tour”. 1982 (September-October “WAR” production) ・December 1-24: Europe #1 (20 performances) ←※HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1982 1983 (February 28 “WAR” released) ・February 26-April 3: Europe #2 (29 performances) ←※TIFFANY’S 1983 ・April 23-June 29: North America (48 performances) ←※BOSTON 1983 2ND NIGHT ・July 2-August 21: Europe #3 (5 performances) ←★Here★ ・November 16-30: Hawaii/Japan (7 performances) This is U2 in the “WAR” era. The Lorelei performance in this work is the final stage. It was the fourth performance of “Europe #3”, about three months before the legendary first visit to Japan. As you can see above, you can understand that the three masterpieces are all different legs, but in fact, this work is also a different leg. In other words, by adding this work to the three press titles, you can enjoy the four overseas legs on the sound board. In addition, this show is also known for being broadcast on the famous program “ROCKPALAST”, and its pro shots have become a standard. This work is also the same broadcast sound board, and was made into a CD from its highest peak master. It is a master selected by an overseas U2 researcher, and that researcher is the person who provided the master of the three titles. As expected, it is not possible to advertise it as an “official masterpiece class” like the three titles because the original was broadcast on TV, but it can be said that it is enough to be called “excavation official class”. The mix that is clearly directly connected to the table and has a vividness that sets it apart from the FM sound board, and the sense of synchronization that makes the live performance and the whole body one is tremendous. Such a super direct sound depicts a show that is different from other legs. It seems that it is only excerpted along the broadcast frame for one CD, but in fact, this is a full set. Because it was a festival appearance, the stage was compact even at the scene. Let’s summarize the contents here. Boy (6 songs + α) Out of Control (*) / Twilight (*★) / An Cat Dubh (★) / Into the Heart (★) / The Cry-The Electric Co. / I Will Follow (★) WAR (fight) (6 songs) Surrender (★) / Two Hearts Beat As One (*) / Seconds (*) / Sunday Bloody Sunday / New Year’s Day / “40” (*★) Irish October (1 song) Gloria *Note: * marks “HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1982” and ★ marks “TIFFANY’S 1983” songs that could not be heard. … and so on. Although it does not reach the two-disc set “BOSTON 1983 2ND NIGHT” which completely recorded the full-scale show, it is much more natural than “HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1982” and “TIFFANY’S 1983” which were edited broadcasts. And the performance is hot. The ensemble has evolved rapidly after going through a large-scale world tour, and they are confident that they have been welcomed all over the world. Furthermore, the boldness unique to mini tours is pleasant, and the momentum to overpower the bands at the festival is also wonderful. It is a live performance that runs through with uninterrupted concentration because of the short set. The more they go through the number of places, the more they become skilled as a band and fascinated the world with the “WAR Tour”. This work is the “final part of the tour” that is indispensable to the soundboard collection. Of course, the three masterpieces “HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1982”, “TIFFANY’S 1983” and “BOSTON 1983 2ND NIGHT” are must-listen, but by adding this work, you can trace the world tour. A soundboard world tour written by a researcher master. A soundboard album that allows you to enjoy the festival performance just before the first visit to Japan has been released. It is the highest peak master carefully selected by overseas U2 researchers, and because it is a short set, a full show that condenses the momentum of “WAR Tour” is poured directly into the brain.
