Description
The “UNFORGETTABLE FIRE Tour” is known as a treasure trove of famous recordings. A new treasure live album that will further enrich that trillion-fold collection is here! This work is recorded from the “March 21, 1985 Chicago performance”. It is a superb audience recording that was vacuum-packed at the scene. Speaking of 1985, it was a time when U2’s presence suddenly became huge due to their participation in “BAND AID” and their appearance at the legendary “LIVE AID”. Masterpieces such as the masterpiece “MILTON KEYNES 1985” and “BOLOGNA 1985 1ST NIGHT / 2ND NIGHT” have become major classics. This work is a new masterpiece that is in line with that lineage, but has a slightly different meaning. In order to explain its meaning, let’s start by approaching the position of this work from the overview of the activities at that time. 1984 August 29th – September 24th: Oceania (19 shows) (October 1st: “THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE” released) October 18th – November 21st: Europe #1 (21 shows) ←※EDINBURGH 1984 November 24th + 25th: BAND AID session December 1st – 16th: North America #1 (10 shows) ←※WORCESTER 1984 1985 January 23rd – February 10th: Europe #2 (13 shows) ←※BOLOGNA 1985 etc. February 25th – May 4th: North America #2 (40 shows) ←★Here★ May 25th – July 7th: Europe #3 (8 shows) ←※MILTON KEYNES 1985 etc. July 13th: LIVE AID appearance August 25th: LARK Appearance by BY THE LEE This is U2 in 1984/1985. It was a style that went back and forth between Europe and North America, but while the aforementioned “MILTON KEYNES 1985” and “BOLOGNA 1985 1ST NIGHT/2ND NIGHT” were European editions, this work is the 13th performance of “North America #2”, which is the American edition. It is also the first “North America #2” report in a collection that has been biased towards Europe until now. This work is a superb masterpiece. It has a strong core direct feeling, a close feeling without a sense of distance, and a detailed feeling that is too fine… It is a type that is called “like a sound board”. Normally, even with such direct recordings, the vocal extension and drum sound have the feel of the audience, but this work does not even feel that. Even if it is a raw cheer, it has a sense of balance that is common in FM broadcasts, and if there was no additional information, I would have been convinced that it was a sound board without hesitation… or rather, even if I knew it was a customer record, the more I listened to it, the more I couldn’t help but doubt, “Really!?” Speaking of the symbol of 1985, the masterpiece “MILTON KEYNES 1985” reigns as the pinnacle, but that is only a story of comprehensive evaluation that takes into account the importance of the show and the preciousness of the master. In terms of pure sound quality alone, this work is equal or better, and especially in terms of “soundboard-likeness”, this work is far superior. It is a superb recording that can be called a “complete soundboard-class audience” of such a dimension. The transcendent sound is drawn in a full show that is similar to the European leg. Here, let’s organize it in comparison with the masterpiece “MILTON KEYNES 1985” that has been cited from earlier. ? (6 songs) MLK/The Unforgettable Fire/Wire/A Sort Of Homecoming/Bad/Pride (In The Name Of Love) Others (10 songs) WAR (Fight): Seconds/Sunday Bloody Sunday/New Year’s Day/40 Others: 11 O’Clock Tick Tock/I Will Follow/The Cry-The Electric Co./October/Gloria/Knocking On Heaven’s Door (★) *Note: The ★ mark indicates songs that were not heard on the masterpiece “MILTON KEYNES 1985”. …And so on. While you can enjoy the daily song “Knocking On Heaven’s Door,” the set is slightly more compact than the European leg, and the standard “Trash, Trampoline And The Party Girl” is omitted. A new masterpiece that allows you to fully experience the “UNFORGETTABLE FIRE Tour” with a transcendent sound that can only be described as “like a soundboard” and “FM sound source no matter how you listen to it.” A superb audience recording of the “March 21, 1985 Chicago performance”. A powerful core direct feeling, a close feeling without a sense of distance, and a sense of detail that is too fine… It’s a super direct sound that makes you wonder “is it really an audience!?” even if you know it’s a guest record, the more you listen to it, the more you can’t help but wonder, “Is it really an audience!?” “Knocking On Heaven’s Door”, which cannot be heard on the masterpiece “MILTON KEYNES 1985”, is also a shocking new masterpiece that pours a delicious full show into your brain.
