The tour of the century “THE JOSHUA TREE TOUR 2017” is being reported on almost every day. Finally, the permanent preservation class decision board has finally arrived. Our shop has delivered many masterpiece recordings, including the first day “VANCOUVER 2017”, “SANTA CLARA 2017”, and “CHICAGO 2017 DAY 2”. However, although they are more than enough for breaking news and real-time reports, they have not reached the level of being repeated forever. This work is a superb recording worthy of such permanent preservation. It is a masterpiece that will continue to be listened to even after the tour ends in the future. This work contains the “June 3, 2017 Chicago performance”. Speaking of “Chicago”, we just reported on “CHICAGO 2017 DAY 2” the other day, but this work is a completely different performance. The Uxbridge version was “Chicago 2nd day”, but this work is the “first day of Chicago” the day before. Let’s check the position of this work in the whole tour.・May 12-26: North America #1 (7 performances) ・June 3-July 1: North America #2 (14 performances) ←★Here★ ・July 8-August 1: Europe (12 performances) ・September 3-22: North America #3 (8 performances) ・October 3-21: South America (8 performances) This is the tour schedule that has been announced so far. Dates are being added day by day, and it has become 49 performances. This work is not only the first day of Chicago, but also the first day of “North America #2”. The biggest point of such a work is, of course, the sound quality. Although the masterpieces so far have also had a great sound, this work using the high-end microphone “Schoeps MK4s”, which is very popular with the world’s top tapers, is much clearer and closer. The robust musical tones and singing voices roar, and the details are clearly cut off. If you listen carefully, you can feel the atmosphere of the scene, but even more than that, the core of the thick core is thrust upon you. I don’t know the exact recording position, but it’s as if a huge PA is standing right in front of me. In fact, there is almost no sense of the scale of the huge venue from this work, and the cheers are far and small. Even from the slightly central stereo feeling, it’s a sound that makes you imagine that the author of this work was clinging to the PA instead of the stage. “THE JOSHUA TREE TOUR 2017” drawn with such quality is truly a wonderful permanent preservation. As with previous live albums, it is a three-part structure “Part 1 = WAR + THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE selection” → “Part 2 = THE JOSHUA TREE full song performance” → “Part 3 = recent song encore”, but there are daily changes between “Part 1” and “Part 3”. Compared to “CHICAGO 2017 DAY 2”, “Bad” has been added to the first part of this work, and the last part of the third part (the big last of the encore) is “I Will Follow”. “I Will Follow” is particularly big. Most of the “THE JOSHUA TREE TOUR 2017” tour ends with a preview of the new song “The Little Things That Give You Away”, but the grand finale of the super representative song is still exceptional. There are only four shows on “THE JOSHUA TREE TOUR” that end with this song. By the way, before this song, a birthday song is sung to celebrate the birthday of Chris Blackwell, the founder of ISLAND RECORDS (his birthday is supposed to be June 22nd…). This is a bit of a detailed story, but the second part is even more important than that. It is none other than “THE JOSHUA TREE all songs performed”. Nothing beats the joy of being able to enjoy it with the best sound comparable to a sound board. I don’t know if they will officially make a live album from this tour, but even if that doesn’t happen, there is this work. “Live version of THE JOSHUA TREE” that you can immerse yourself in such a famous recording and beautiful sound. Please enjoy this masterpiece born from the tour of the century. Live at Soldier Field, Chicago, IL. USA 3rd June 2017 ULTIMATE SOUND Disc 1(55:30) 1. Intro: A Rainy Night In Soho (The Pogues) 2.
