UK/CA,USA 2012 & Rehearsals

From the much-talked-about restructured US tour that included a total of 14 performances, from the Chicago performance on May 1st to the Phoenix performance on the 21st, the final performance in Los Angeles on May 20th is completely recorded with the highest level of high-quality audience recording. Recorded. The second half of disc 2 also includes a valuable 37-minute sound check from the day, making it a disc with very attractive content. The sound image is stable, and the edge of the sound is somewhat mild, but the sound has enough directness, and the cheers are small compared to the musical sounds, making it easy to listen to.This is a recommended title with excellent content that represents the latest tour. (The sound gives the impression of an excellent audience recording from a long time ago, like an analog tape recording, and is a very pleasant recording.) At the Portland performance on the 17th, Wetton had a cold and seemed to be suffering from high frequencies. Although his vocals are not the best, they have recovered considerably and you can listen to the entire concert without stress. The ensemble’s performance is excellent, and it’s much improved since the beginning of the tour, and it sounds like the rough charm of the group has receded as well, but the fans will be disappointed in the short term. You will be happy to listen to the improvement in the band’s performance. Bossio also seems to understand the general structure of the song, so he can enjoy the band’s performance with peace of mind. On this day, in the middle of the song, he performed an intense drum solo of 14 minutes, which was slightly longer than usual, and overwhelmed the listeners. After his solo, Danger Money, Presto Vivace/In The Dead Of Night, and Caesar’s Palace Blues are all amazing. For the encore, Wetton’s Crimson Memories MC followed, and Fallen Angel, who had not performed in the previous few performances, made a moving comeback. The slightly analog-like classical sound image, which is a feature of this LA version recording, and the atmosphere of the song are the best match, making it a truly tasteful take that is a must-listen. The last song is The Only Thing She Needs, where you can listen to a cohesive and sharp performance with the best groove. The sound was recorded a little lighter, so you get the illusion that you’re listening to a live performance from 1979, which is also fun! Recording time: 103 minutes. Currently, this is a piece that can be enjoyed with the best performance quality during the North American tour. Now, here’s the 37-minute sound check recorded before the performance that fans are looking forward to! This is recorded with a more wonderful sound than the main part, and everyone will be stunned by the powerful interlude of Carrying No Cross performed by the three at the beginning! ! All the members play and bang as they please, even though the song is their theme, and when you listen to it, you can almost hear the main live performance being a little more sophisticated. If you’re a fan, you won’t want to miss a second of the nearly 10-minute live sound check sound of bass and drums! Wetton checking the bass with various advanced playing techniques, and Bozzio’s colorful drum play to match it, are the best, and even the sound check is even more appealing than the main story and entertains the listeners so much. , as expected from the UK! (This is a great example of how a great band can make even a sound check sound so appealing!) Of course, violins also appear in Caesar’s Palace Blues, and the play by Wetton and Bozzio that can be heard here is a masterpiece, and the best rough mix. It seems like you are listening to What’s interesting is Night After Night, which we’ve already played live many times, but the three of us practiced by repeating the intro and, in fact, the everlastingly sweet transition between Alaska and Night After Night. I will. Vocals are also included here, making it a very interesting take. Next is a recording of him relentlessly repeating the ending song. Eddie performs a fun MC for the audience listening to the rehearsal. The last part is a recording of the violin sound check. A rehearsal take with exquisite content that rivals the best recorded version of the 2012 UK reorganization live. Fans must listen to the strongest and best 37 minutes. This is a 2-disc set that you can enjoy for 2 hours and 20 minutes, including the main story and rehearsal. Live at El Rey Theatre, Los Angeles, CA.
