Review (Gig In Japan) : May 17 days today, coincidentally with Bob Dylan is toward the audience of Manchester in 1966, "I do not believe you, you're liar!" But there the day made and issued by the 50th anniversary, the shop also this week good mood of Dylan title appeared. Our shop recently, I've just released the Osaka the first day of March 6, called the 2001 Japan tour best of great performance as "The Best show ", but from the same 2001 Japan tour this time, limited the new sound source we will release at a press CD. Ahead of "THE BEST SHOW" and two years ago was released "2001: A Forum Odessey " in and so on, until now the title is there was a feeling of release to tour the middle of the live show had been concentrated. But this time's the Omiya performances of February 25 was the first day of the tour. This day: as well as the Tokyo International Forum performance of "2001 A ~", the day when all of the items did not exist. Sound source is had spread among traders in a long time ago, but they are without being touched, it is no exaggeration to say that had been overlooked rather. Moreover, it is audience recording using the time of this release, but that such a was not widespread even among traders, our shop has become a limited press on using a sound source was obtained independently. Using its own available sound source in the same way as "The Best Show " (* "Forum Odessey " net sound source) so that was the case, the sound quality of the original sound source was recorded this time of Omiya show is superb without hyperbole. On the contrary, to ensure the quality of the highest quality even in the in the 2001 Japan tour items that our shop has been released so far! And Womi a sense of realism venue unique Omiya Sonic City that reasonable capacity (2,000 people), on a sound image more than anything. This time of a sound source who captures the very best of them. There is no hand that does not release the audience recording, which boasts the best quality in the press CD before about this. Also only in anyway excellent sound quality, this release will be recommended with confidence to all of Dylan mania. This regard to the Omiya performances, the day that this day had also has a big topic that is a tour the first day of 2001. In Japan tour of the first day of stage for the first time since 1997, what is Dylan and the band me play any sound .. Stunning clearness enough to likely have heard also the high sounds of the chest of such fan is also a big attraction of this sound source. From the fact that live configuration of the time in the last year of the tour had been completed, which could be easily expected that this day is also that follows the pattern of the 2000 tour. In support it, opening the cover of the traditional folk of "Roving Gambler" of this day. Pattern to dawn from the cover like this song I had become at the time of the regular opening. Then that yesteryear classics are played in rapid succession, look back is to now if only to say so without the deployment and gorgeous. In the recent Japan tour, even while expecting the mind yesteryear classics, "I did not do the old songs, brackets good" before the show that was hardly picked up the opinions of the general listener to remain in the opinion SNS but was not a little flying around above, this time of Dylan is what gave me literally "like crazy to do the old songs." At that time, it is what I thought it's obvious, really gorgeous song selection When I become now. In particular, the set list, such as if a bird's eye view of the Dylan 60s career of this day drool mono. Mania is a music selection, such as happy, "The Best Show ", menu . no longer the best album of the day that just 60s Classics also different with the song of the golden age there were many "Forum Odessey " of over the 66 years from 65 years is played state or with. Among them, "Highway 61 Revisited" and concludes the epic "Desolation Row" for the first time showing off the day they are in Japan stage. Because it is a repertoire that has been played in the regular from the previous year of the tour, what I is likely to be heard this day was very high, that's why excitement that was able to listen finally was great. More than that to live repertoire entering from the previous year's tour was surprised the mania around the world "Country Pie" and "If Dogs Run Free," was able to listen to the rare number in Japan, such as also the first this day. 60s Classics, song selection that does not stop only in major song was a big attraction of the day. Is such as "Country Pie" to the bonus only remained to show off several times in the Japan Tour in 2001, I would say that it is even more rare scene. And it became a perfect hard rock "Drifter's Escape," but is also a big impact arrangement at the time unique, this day the best of playing "Maggie's Farm." The upper tension does not think that it is the first live 2001 years in the very first day tour. Thus tour already play quality from the first day would me ask again recognized that it was the level of about can be called abnormal, the audience master specification of impact realistic live album. Playing the best "The Best Show ", the music selection is fascinating "Forum Odessey ", and the third of the name board, which boasts a high-quality sound of the 2001 tour leading is born here!
