ZZ Top/CA,USA 11.30.1990

ZZ TOP in 1990 summarized the heyday of the Warner era with “RECYCLER”. A superb live album that conveys the scene is now available. What is recorded in this work is “Daly City performance on November 30, 1990”. This is a beautiful audience recording. First of all, let’s check the show’s position from the panoramic view of the last world tour “RECYCLER Tour” that was held before returning to its roots. 1990/October 2-13: North America #1a (7 performances)《“RECYCLER” released on October 16》/October 18-December 17: North America #1b (38 performances)←★Here★ 1991 – January 4th – May 3rd: North America #2 (77 performances) – May 31st – July 6th: Europe (21 performances) – August 1st – September 27th: North America #3 (33 performances) This is ZZ TOP in 1990/1991. It was a large-scale tour that included a three-lap U.S. tour and a European leg, but this Daly City performance was the beginning of the tour. This was the 28th concert of “North America #1b”, which has been about a month and a half since the album was released. This work recorded at such a show is a powerful and beautiful recording. I can tell that it is an audience recording from the lively applause that can be heard here and there, but the important performance sound does not seem like a guest record. If you listen to it with headphones, you can feel the sound of the hall, but it doesn’t convey the sense of distance at all. The core is powerful and on, it approaches right in front of your eyes without any time lag, and the details are strangely delicate. It’s like a sound board…rather than it feels like “playing a studio record with a deep echo setting.” This is a live album with a touch of distant cheers sprinkled over it. There is certainly evidence of the audience, but while it is a soundboard-like listening response, it is different from either of the typical ones. I have handled countless records by many bands so far, but there is no doubt that this is a unique type of album, but it is definitely the best…this is a live album. What is depicted with its individuality and superb sound is a full show that concentrates the Warner era, which reigned as the darling of the times. Let’s organize the set here so you can get a feel for how luxurious it is. LONDON Records era (7 songs) Rio Grande Mad: Just Got Paid Tres Hombres: Waitin’ for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago/La Grange Fandango!: Heard It on the X/Blue Jean Blues/ Tush Warner Era (15 songs) – Elegy for Massacre: Manic Mechanic – El Loco: Ten Foot Pole/Tube Snake Boogie – Eliminator: Gimme All Your Lovin’/Got Me Under Pressure/Sharp Dressed Man/Legs – Afterburner: Planet of Women/Sleeping Bag/Recycler: Tell It/Concrete and Steel/My Head’s in Mississippi/2,000 Blues/Lovething/Give it Up…and so on. A wide range of selections from his 20-year career, but the strongest are the blockbuster trilogy of “ELIMINATOR,” “AFTERBURNER,” and “RECYCLER.” The “RECYCLER” number is especially delicious. Only “My Head’s in Mississippi” can be heard at recent shows, but the others are rare repertoires that were only played in the early 90s, and among them “Lovething” is truly a limited song for this tour. Even if you look at the classics, you’ll find numbers like “Sleeping Bag” and “Ten Foot Pole” that you can’t hope for these days. ZZ TOP already lacks official live works, but this work is a valuable one where you can enjoy full of rare songs with the best sound. After this, they also made a big hit with “GREATEST HITS” and transferred to RCA Records, marking the end of their commercial golden age. What is contained in this work is just before that. These are three people who took the world by storm with hit after hit. A gorgeous full show that is different from the RCA era when they began to look at their roots. The best audience recording of “November 30, 1990 Daly City Performance”. The powerful core is right in front of you without any time lag, and the details are unusually delicate. It’s a unique, superb sound with a direct feeling that feels like “playing a studio record with a deep echo setting”, with a slight sprinkle of distant cheers. The show will feature a wide selection from his 20-year career, with a repertoire from the blockbuster trilogy “ELIMINATOR” to “RECYCLER”. In particular, the “RECYCLER” number is a hot topic on the charts, but it is full of valuable songs that were only played in the early 90’s. This is a delicious live album that allows you to fully experience the gorgeous, blockbuster era with the finest sound.
