The long-awaited Rolling Stones' latest tour kicked off in Houston on April 28th, and the album "HOUSTON 2024" released by UXBRIDGE was released immediately. Everyone was curious about Houston, but it was typical of the Stones on the first day of the tour, especially when Keith started playing the intros to the opening songs "Start Me Up" and "Tumbling Dice" unsteadily. In addition, the tempo of "Start Me Up" was slow, and I was worried that the show would continue in this atmosphere. However, the transformation from the well-trained "You Can't Always Get What You Want" to a sudden improvement in condition was enough to predict that the engine would be at full throttle in New Orleans on the second day. On the contrary, if you listen to it again, you can already hear "Rocks Off" and "Beast of Burden" being played well, and as for the new songs, "Mess It Up" is rough but still played with great effort, which is nice. In the first place, the sound quality of the audience recording on this day is very good, so it is wonderful that it captures the atmosphere transmitted from the band on the first day. In addition, according to Mick, "Out Of Time" will not be played after Glendale, which is the stage on the third day, because the reception of the American audience is not so good. It is true that in Europe in 2022, it became a wonderful live early excitement number, but it is understandable that it is a song that does not make a pin for Americans. Also, at the start of the tour, Keith Corner only had one song, "Little T & A", but now it has been restored to two songs. As a result, this pattern has become a rare pattern only at the beginning of the tour, including the first day. Now it is a pleasant sight to hear a fan mutter "I'm shocked that Keith only has one song" after the show. In the member introduction that took place before this song, Chanel Haynes, who was on her first stage with the Stones, was a little nervous, and the scene where Mick teased her about it was also a scene that seems to be typical of the first day of the tour. "Gimme Shelter", to which she is entrusted with the vocal part, is sung after "Sympathy For The Devil" at this point, which is unique to this day, and as the tour progresses, it is gradually moved back to the latter half of the set list (the conventional position), so the performance in this position is also valuable now. And above all, this sound source is also an audience recording with very good sound quality. Of course, Mick is the one who is in high spirits even though it is the first day of the tour, and this is also noticeable immediately after the start of the live. Furthermore, as the live approaches the second half, he finally gets excited about "Miss You". In contrast to that, the gap of "Paint It Black", which was a mess only on this day (laughs). Now, the mess unique to the first day and the trial and error of the set list and repertoire are very interesting. And above all, the sound quality is outstanding. This is the origin of the Stones, who have been getting better with each show since the start of the tour, and a valuable record!
