On July 20th, we released the superb sound quality record of Eric Clapton's latest performance, "Hyde Park 2018". As it was the fastest release after the concert, Clapton fans and old rock fans were pleased. However, in this era, as time passes, other masters of the same concert of various artists will be uploaded to the Internet. This Clapton's Hyde Park performance was no exception. What's more, it was a recording by Dapsyknows, a famous taper representing the modern era, so it was surprising! He recorded the Stones' superb sound quality record "PRAGUE 2018", which was also released on July 20th, as well as Paul McCartney's 2016 Desert Trip and the recent Neil Young & Crazy Horse revival gig "FRESNO 2018", a master who recorded the stage that attracted the attention of big names with superb sound quality. Dapsyknows, who was thought to be a taper for recording concerts held in the United States, flew to Prague to target the Stones, and even recorded Clapton in Hyde Park in London! A great action filled with a hot spirit of wanting to chase the "now" of big names! Dapsyknows, who has recorded many famous concerts with the ultra-high quality microphone Schopes MK4, set their sights on Clapton's Hyde Park. The sound quality was once again excellent, as expected. It is a high-quality recording that is suitable for 2018, and is the best sound quality ever. The quality is so good that our engineer said that there was no need for mastering at all. Even if a friend said, "This is the stereo soundboard source of Clapton's Hyde Park," you would believe it. The sound image, which is full of plenty of sound pressure, is impressive, but the clarity is also outstanding. The graininess of each musical note, the clarity of the vocals, everything is the best. The recording position was the best seat, Diamond VIP - Back Rail Dead Center, only 13 meters away from the stage. No wonder they were able to make the best recording. What's interesting is that when you compare it with "Hyde Park 2018" released on July 20, it's clearly a different sound source, but judging from the conversation of the audience, Dapsyknows was only about 1 to 2 meters away from the recorder. It seems that the two tapers were competing in "skills" at such a close distance... It's interesting. As I wrote in the review of "Hyde Park 2018", let's follow the trajectory of Clapton's live activities this year.・January 23, 2018: Full stage at a private event in Paris, France ・May 26, 2018: Appeared at a festival in Greenwich, Connecticut, USA ・July 2, 2018: Performance in Cologne, Germany ・July 3, 2018: Performance in Hamburg, Germany ・July 8, 2018: Appeared at a festival in Hyde Park, London, UK [This work] Clapton, who has a chronic illness called rheumatism, has continued to perform live at intervals so as not to push his health, but this July was different. He performed three shows in a row. It can be said that Hyde Park was the stage where Clapton, who had survived two shows in Germany in good shape, stood as a culmination of that. And Clapton led the show to great success. Lay Down Sally and The Core welcomed Marcy Levy, a female singer who once backed him up, as a guest, and for the encore, he welcomed his fellow guitarist Carlos Santana, who also performed his own set that day, for a fulfilling stage. Clapton's playing on this day was particularly sharp. This is evidenced by the fact that he piled up thrilling and sharp phrases that are characteristic of Clapton, such as two solos in Got To Get Better In A Little While, two solos in The Core, a solo in Crossroads, and a solo in LIttle Queen Of Spades. Customers who listened to "Hyde Park 2018" released on the 20th will already know Clapton's great performance and good performance, but we will deliver that high-quality performance with even higher sound quality. In terms of sound quality, the main board using MK4 for the microphone is by far the best in that it expresses the precision of a sound board, but "Hyde Park 2018" is easy to listen to in the sense that it maximizes the pleasure of a realistic audience recording, and this is it. If you can collect the famous performance with two famous sound sources, Clapton's Hyde Park will be decided. Live at Hyde Park, London, UK 8th July 2018 ULTIMATE SOUND Disc 1 (49:38) 1. Intro 2.
