The 2004 Oceania Collection is currently attracting Bowie collectors around the world. A treasured master with an incomparably high quality that stands out from them has appeared. What is infused into this work is “February 21, 2004 Sydney performance”. It is a transcendental audience recording. As mentioned at the beginning, the Oceania leg of “A REALITY TOUR” is currently a hot topic on the internet. The finest audience recordings are being discovered one after another. In talking about the circumstances around that, let's first look back at the panoramic view of Bowie's last world tour and imagine the positional relationship of the Oceania leg. 2003/August 19: Warm-up gig [“REALITY” released on September 16]/October 7-November 28: Europe #1 (31 performances) ← *Official version A REALITY TOUR/December 13th - 20th: North America #1a (4 performances) 2004, January 7th - February 7th: North America #1b (18 performances), February 14th - March 1st: Oceania (8 performances) ← ★Coco★・March 4th – 14th: Asia (5 performances) ・March 29th – June 5th: North America #2 (39 performances)←*ATLANTIC CITY 2004・June 11th – June 25th :Europe #2 (7 performances)《June 25th: Emergency transport due to aneurysm》This is the overall picture of “A REALITY TOUR”. Speaking of the symbols of this tour, the official live work "A REALITY TOUR" and the soundboard album "ATLANTIC CITY 2004 1ST NIGHT (Wardour-297)" are famous, but the "Oceania" leg is in between, and this work The Sydney performance will be the fourth performance of the series. It was a concert about two weeks before Bowie's last performance in Japan. This work recorded at such a show is the best sound with "super" without any questions asked. Internet sound sources have become a hot topic these days for this show as well, but they are incomplete and the sound cannot be compared to this work. At our store, we have delivered the best masters with the cooperation of overseas Bowie researchers and core collectors, and this work is also the latest bullet. Considering the current situation where half-baked masters are becoming a hot topic, we received the offer with the words, ``There are even more amazing ones out there'' and ``I want everyone to hear the real top sound.'' Actually, there is no lie in those words. It is a so-called ``sound board'' on the ground, and there is no sense of distance at all, and if the details are super detailed, the separation between instruments is excellent. If the core collector hadn't handed it to me and told me it was an audience record, I would have thought it was an FM sound source. It's the best (you can tell it's an audience recording from the applause between songs, but it's about the same as a broadcast with overdubbed raw applause). What is as important as the sound and tail hint is the length of the recording time. The popular sound source on the internet ended with “White Light/White Heat” in the latter half of the show, but this work is a magnificent complete recording. Here, let's organize the set while comparing it with Chosho Gengaku. 60s/70s (13 songs) Hunky Dory: Life on Mars?/Quicksand (★) Ziggy Stardust: Five Years/Hang On to Yourself/Ziggy Stardust Others: The Man Who Sold the World/Panic in Detroit (★) / Rebel Rebel / Fame / A New Career In A New Town (★) / "Heroes" / All the Young Dudes / White Light / White Heat (★) 80's and later (15 songs) 80's: Ashes to Ashes/China Girl (★)/Let's Dance (★)/Under Pressure ・90's: Hallo Spaceboy/I'm Afraid of Americans ・Heather: Afraid/Cactus/Sunday ・Reality: New Killer Star/Pablo Picasso (★) /The Loneliest Guy/Looking For Water/Days (★)/Bring Me the Disco King *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official release “A REALITY TOUR”. ...and it looks like this. As mentioned above, there is another iconic soundboard "ATLANTIC CITY 2004" on this tour, but "Panic in Detroit", "A New Career In A New Town", "Days", "Let's Dance", "White Light/White Heat" is a repertoire that you can't listen to even there. Also, "China Girl" is a bit interesting. It starts normally at first, but suddenly stops as Bowie can't get into the song. The MC connected with a bitter smile and started over again from the beginning. In any case, you can fully experience "A REALITY TOUR" with super-excellent sound that is outside the audience's common sense. That's all there is to it. I cited online sound sources to avoid confusion, but that's not what we should be comparing. In contrast to the official work "A REALITY TOUR" which symbolizes "Europe at the beginning of the tour" and "ATLANTIC CITY 2004" which symbolizes "the United States at the end of the tour", this work is about "Oceania in the middle of the tour". I would like you to think of it as a trilogy that digests “A REALITY TOUR” in three periods/three continents. A new masterpiece that rivals official works and soundboard sound sources. Superb audience recording of "February 21, 2004 Sydney Performance". It is a super perfect recording master that is completely different from the recordings that are popular on the internet, and it has a shocking quality that should be called ``completely official grade'' rather than ``just like a sound board.'' In contrast to the official work "A REALITY TOUR" born from "Europe at the beginning of the tour" and "ATLANTIC CITY 2004", the symbolic soundboard of "America at the end of the tour", this work is from "Oceania in the middle of the tour". This trilogy is a digest of A REALITY TOUR in three periods/three continents, and the repertoire that cannot be heard in both works is also delicious. This is a super masterpiece that transcends the audience.
