giginjapan review
The 1997 “BE HERE NOW” tour, which is very popular with enthusiasts. Fortunately, the performance that was overwhelmed by the high tension has abundant broadcast sound sources in the rear tie, and Hammerstein Ballroom, Den Bosch, and G-MEX are all classics. There is no doubt that these are the three biggest giants of the 1997 tour, but in fact there are other performances that were being broadcast. That is Olympia Hall in Munich on November 19th. It was also a performance a week before the previous Den Bosch. Although the narration ended in the latter half of “Live Forever”, the item was released in the rear tie because it was broadcast on the radio, and the name is “OLYMPIA HALL”. However, this title was based on a version of the broadcast that faded out with narration as soon as “Don’t Go Away”, which was the highlight of the day, started, and “Wonderwall” and later were not recorded. .. I can’t say that it was released with the great stress of monaural sound skipping. Later, when the title “THE BEST ACT IN THE WORLD” was released, the opening “Be Here Now” was not recorded this time. The sound source, which was originally incompletely broadcast, was released with some problems, so it was completely overlooked.

It is true that the imperfect state is regrettable, but the content and sound quality are still very good. First of all, the guitars of Noel and Bonehead are neatly sorted on the left and right, yet they are captured with a very powerful sound pressure. Probably because of that, at the beginning of the song, Liam’s vocals were pushed by the guitar and there were some parts that seemed to be pushed, but that also recovered as the performance progressed. In addition to the guitar, the strings played by the support keyboard are also noticeable. And above all, the very warm sound quality is a big attraction, which creates an exquisite taste along with the sound pressure of the guitar. In addition, the performance content is full of 1997 tour-likeness. First of all, the two brothers are screaming in the intro from “Be Here Now”, and the scene where Liam stirs up after singing “Stand By Me” is exactly the scene of 1997. He is in agony from the intro in “D’You Know What I Mean?”, And the overall performance is very exciting. It seems that it was 1997 that Noel interrupted and introduced “Wonderwall” as “Anarchy in the U.K.” while Liam was enthusiastic about what went wrong. And the most important thing is the problem “Don’t Go Away”. It was introduced into the repertoire from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, which I first mentioned, and is performed every night on European tours. However, at the Berlin performance a few days after the Olympia Hall, Liam’s voice broke down (due to the runaway), and it was a terrible masterpiece that fell off the set. Later, the special performance only by G-MEX was an exception among the exceptions that also served as a promotion for television broadcasting, and the regular revival in the form of Liam’s singing did not come true.

Because it was such a valuable repertoire, it was a big drawback that the rear tie “OLYMPIA HALL” recorded a version that ended immediately with narration. However, since there is also a version in which “Don’t Go Away” was completely broadcast, a limited press CD release will be realized for the first time in the form of the longest recording of the broadcast. Not only is the sound quality very good on a stereo sound board, but his voice can be seen from the fact that Liam sang “Don’t Go”, which he failed to sing a few days later. I’m in good shape. The difference is clear even when compared with the classic Den Bosch broadcast. Actually, the same song of G-MEX was a masterpiece during a masterpiece, but the same song here in Munich is also quite wonderful, and the appearance of Liam singing this song and the band backing it up is special. Of course, this time there was no place where it would fall into monaural, yet it was recorded properly from the opening. “Be Here Now” is another very exciting performance, so “THE BEST ACT IN THE WORLD”, which was missed, was also painful. Despite being a good sound source on a stereo soundboard (it’s strange that the echo gets deeper when it comes to MC), the Munich 97 radio broadcast, which has been unfavorable for over 20 years, is finally satisfying. It will be released in the form. I’m really sorry to have kept you waiting. You may have kept you waiting too long!
