Van Halen/CA,USA 5.20.1984 Upgrade

The “1984” era was at its peak of prosperity. The legendary recording, which was considered one of the best masterpieces, is now available with an upgraded sound! What is engraved in this work is “May 20, 1984 San Diego Performance”. This is an exquisite audience recording. The “1984” era produced some great records that shine brightly in rock history, but no full soundboard was left behind. For this reason, enthusiasts have been searching for the best audience recordings since ancient times, encouraging many new discoveries and upgrades. This work is at the cutting edge of such history. It is a live album that can be called “the last answer of 2020.” Up until now, we have introduced masterpieces such as “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1984”, “MONSTERS OF ROCK SWITZERLAND 1984” and “STOCKHOLM 1984”, but this work is different from those in the stage itself. In order to explain its meaning, let’s first look back at the schedule at the time [1984] released on January 9th. Performances) ・March 7th – April 6th: North America #2 (22 performances) ・April 14th – May 22nd: North America #3 (24 performances) ←★Coco★・June 2nd – July 16th: North America #4 (30 performances) “MONSTERS OF ROCK TOUR 1984” August 18th-September 7th: Europe (7 performances) [Full-scale show only in North America that was not realized in Europe] This is VAN HALEN in 1984. Broadly divided into two, the “1984 TOUR” was a solo band tour held throughout the United States, and the “MONSTERS OF ROCK TOUR” was a festival tour held only in Europe. The San Diego performance of this work was the 22nd performance of the former one-act “North America #3”. Actually, this is the big point. All of the press masterpieces mentioned above are “European” legs…that is, records of the “MONSTERS OF ROCK TOUR.” On the other hand, this work was performed in the home country. The reason why it’s so big is the length. “MONSTERS OF ROCK TOUR” is a festival format with many bands performing, and the headliner is AC/DC. On the other hand, the US tour is the leading role, and you can enjoy plenty of the full set. In fact, while “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1984” and “MONSTERS OF ROCK SWITZERLAND 1984” were single CDs, this work is a two-disc set of about 109 minutes. Let’s check out its contents as well. Classics・Fuse of Flame: On Fire/Runnin’ With The Devil/Jamie’s Cryin’ (★)/You Really Got Me/Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love (★)・Dark Law: Everybody Wants Some!!・Martial Law Order: Unchained・Diver Down: Little Guitars/Cathedral (★)/(Oh) Pretty Woman “1984”・Hot For Teacher/House Of Pain/I’ll ​​Wait/Girl Gone Bad (★)/1984/Jump/Panama * Note: Songs marked with “★” are not played on “MONSTERS OF ROCK TOUR”. …and it looks like this. The extremely rare “Girl Gone Bad”, which was limited to the United States in 1984, is delicious, but the volume is even greater because it is a full scale song. After all, this tour is the culmination of the culmination of VAN HALEN’s glorious history. The mood of success that was on a different level than before was extremely glorious, and the band’s excitement was on an abnormal level as they received tremendous enthusiasm. Soar or soar, the huge crowd is still stirring things up. You can fully immerse yourself in such an unprecedented show. [The best masterpiece representing the North American tour] It was unexpectedly late, but the sound that conveys such a scene is the life of this work. In fact, it has been known as a masterpiece recording that represents the tour, but this work is the highest peak edition that has been upgraded in two ways. First of all, master freshness. It has been digitized from the 1st Gene Master that was discovered in recent years, and its freshness is completely different. There was no distortion or wobbling, and the previously unstable stereo sound became stable. Above all, the clear and transparent atmosphere makes it feel as if the position itself is tens of meters closer than the previous master. In fact, at the beginning of the performance, I felt that there was a bit of a distance, but during the first song “Unchained” it became more and more direct. And the second point is the meticulous mastering unique to this work. This is also an upgrade to a different level from the original net sound. Of course, we do not do anything to increase sound pressure. We carefully examined the sound in each range, increased the brightness, and adjusted the balance. As a result, the thin bass has become much more powerful, but there’s more to it than just that. Normally, when the bass gets stronger, the overall sound tends to become cloudy, and in an effort to do something about it, we tend to force the treble and hammering sounds higher. As a result, the sound that pierces the ear… is a common mistake. However, in this work, the treble, midrange, and bass are carefully examined, so the power of the bass does not cause cloudiness, and the outline of the minute details remains natural and glossy and vivid. The peak of enthusiasm that hits the sky and the power of the full set. “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1984”, which I introduced the other day, had a dazzling historical festival scene, but its home in America is on a whole different level. It is a historical masterpiece that depicts the full show with the highest quality sound. There is no guarantee that other recordings will not be upgraded, but as of 2020, this work is the best masterpiece of the “1984” era, which is at the top in both sound and volume. The best audience recording of “May 20, 1984 San Diego Performance”. An upgraded version that has been digitized from the legendary 1st Gene Cassette recording and further refined through meticulous mastering. Even the original sound on the internet had a clear and direct feel, but in this work, the thin bass was much more powerful. What’s more, it does not cause cloudiness, and the ultimate sound is natural and glossy and vivid down to the finest details. And above all, the full set is wonderful because it is in the home country of America, and you can enjoy the extremely rare “Girl Gone Bad” with the best sound.
