Who,The Who/CA,USA 10.20.1996

THE WHO in 1996, who realized the stage reproduction of the timeless rock opera masterpiece “Quadrophenia”. A powerful soundboard album that conveys the whole picture is now available. This work contains “October 20, 1996 San Jose performance”. It is a soundboard recording recorded in one act of the “QUADROPHENIA 96/97 Tour”. In 1973, the stage reproduction of “Quadrophenia”, which used a lot of synths and SEs, was postponed, but it was in 1996 that it was realized for the first time. They appeared at the charity event “PRINCE’S TRUST” hosted by Prince Charles, where they performed the complete form of “Quadrophenia” for the first time. After that, they also held a tour with the theme of re-performing the album. This work is a soundboard album that pours the whole picture of such a groundbreaking tour into your brain. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show. 1996, June 29: Prince’s Trust appearance, July 16-22: North America #1 (6 performances), October 13-November 19: North America #2 (25 performances) ←★Here★, December 6-11: UK (3 performances), 1997, April 23-May 18: Europe (16 performances), July 19-August 16: North America #3 (20 performances) This is THE WHO in 1996/1997. They toured the US in three parts, but the San Jose performance of this work was the main one, “North America #2”. It was the sixth performance. This work recorded at such a show is a close-up sound board with a tremendous immersive feeling. There are various types of “sound boards”, but this work is a direct connection system of the so-called on-site mix desk. Official works and FM broadcasts are mixes suitable for home audio and create a simulated concert experience, but this work has no such decorations. Even with headphones, the cheers feel like a distant swell, and there is no sense of scale of a large venue. It is a type where the instruments and vocals that are sounding on the spot just pop out without any processing. The individuality may seem bland to general music fans, but for soundboard enthusiasts, it is the best. The fineness of the sound of the instruments themselves is a vivid feeling that is impossible in audience recordings, and the rawness of the performance without any production is tremendous. The reality is overwhelming because there is no artificial concert atmosphere production, and instead of a sense of re-experiencing, you can experience a sense of synchronization where the band itself and the brain are completely in sync. And the sound is spelled out in the live version of “Quadruple Personality”. From the beginning, all the songs are played in the order of the album, and then four more songs are added: “I’m the Face”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, “Behind Blue Eyes”, and “Who Are You”. The main part of “Quadruple Personality” is narrated by Phil Daniels, who starred in the movie “Farewell to the Light of Youth”, and is depicted by a thick ensemble of seven people. This work is a soundboard album that allows you to enjoy each and every sound in a super vivid way. A complete reproduction show of “Quadruple Personality”, realized 23 years after the release of the album. This is a masterpiece soundboard album that allows you to enjoy the live performance from corner to corner. The on-site feeling of immersing your whole body in the concept world does not reach the audience recording, but the tremendous sense of synchronization is unrivaled. A powerful soundboard recording of the “San Jose performance on October 20, 1996”, one act of the QUADROPHENIA 96/97 Tour. The sound board is connected directly to the mix table, and there is no concert-like experience, but instead the instruments and vocals jump out super vividly without any processing. The rawness of the performance without any production is tremendous, and you can experience a sense of synchronization where the band itself and the brain are perfectly in sync. You can fully experience the complete reproduction of “Quadrophenia”, narrated by Phil Daniels, who starred in the movie “Farewell to the Light of Youth”, with a close-up sound.
