The Who have successfully completed their 50th anniversary tour in the UK, but this year actually marks the band's 50th anniversary under the band name ``The Who''. We cannot take our eyes off their future trends, which are sure to gain momentum, and we will be releasing an upgraded version of the great The Who's vintage and rare sound source! This edition includes both audio and bonus footage of their full stage performance at ``The Who And Friends Roar In!'', an event held at Wembley Stadium on August 18, 1979, with a crowd of 70,000 people. This is a title that you can enjoy. This is an original source previously released by our store, and is the world's first cassette master recorded by Japanese record company staff at the time (Japanese language can be heard at the beginning), but the limited edition of 300 sets sold out quickly. did. Therefore, this time we will focus only on The Who and re-appear with improved sound quality through remastering. In 1979, The Who was on the verge of disbanding due to the sudden death of Keith Moon. Moreover, Pete was also in a situation where he was under pressure to raise a huge amount of money for the charity work he was focusing on. However, they overcame this crisis with their old friend Kenny Jones on drums. This album captures their appearance at the moment when they were revived like a phoenix in their hometown of London. It can be said that this is a sound source that allows you to feel the reality of how much the fans have been waiting for this stage, and when you listen to it, you can feel the excitement. Although the recording is monaural, it is recorded with a wide-angle microphone with a very spacious sound image, and the sound quality is very easy to listen to, capturing the drums of the new member Kenny. At the end of Can't Explain, just before returning to Roger's song, there is a big cheer during Pete's interlude, which is exactly because Pete showed off his homegrown windmill playing technique. The 70,000 fans in London must have been waiting for this moment. This excitement set the mood for this stage. There is a photo of Pete from that day playing a Les Paul Standard with the number "1" written on it. Roger had a short haircut and a muscular body that made him look more fearless. John, who is nicknamed ``The Ox'', is showing off his technical lead bass with his usual sense of stability. There were concerns about how well Kenny would fit in, as his drumming nuances are different from Keith Moon's, but Pete's intention was to introduce the keyboard at this time to keep the rhythm and beat of the song properly, and Kenny's drumming was a good fit. matched exactly. On this revival stage, you can listen to numbers from the album ``WHO ARE YOU'' such as Sister Disco, Music Must Change, and Trick Of The Light, which were never played during Keith Moon's era, as well as familiar masterpieces. It's also fun to hear how the group is expressed by Kenny's drums (there is a cut part in the song Dreaming From The Waist that seems to be a tape change). And as an amazing bonus DVD to double your enjoyment, we will include a 22-minute 8mm audience shot of The Who's stage performance, including Nils Lofgren, AC/DC, The Stranglers, and others who performed on that day. . The angle was taken from around 45 degrees to the right of the stage, near the middle of the second-floor stands of the stadium. Even if you zoom in to the maximum, you can only capture the entire stage, but you can clearly see the stage. The songs are recorded in fragments as they were taken as records (memories) of the photographer, but the songs include Roger's familiar Mike Touring in Substitute, Pete's windmill playing in I Can't Explain, See Me Feel Me clearly captures the audience's fascination and excitement with the huge laser effect. This is probably the best material to get a sense of the scale and mood of this event. Furthermore, at the end, a 5-minute interview with Pete that was conducted before the concert is recorded. If you listen to this and read the English version of the interview printed on the insert of this album and the Japanese translation from the Internet below, you will understand Pete's thoughts on his fresh start, and you will also get a good idea of the money (payroll) in the second half. The mention of this also hints at Pete's situation mentioned above. Anyway, the title captures a precious and important moment for The Who. I would like The Who's Freak to pay attention to this record again. ★Translation of Pete Townshend's backstage interview recorded in the 8mm video (for reference only) Q: "What do you expect from the concert?" P: "Maybe a little money. I hope it doesn't rain. Me too. I want to have fun. But Wembley Stadium isn't the right venue for rock'n'roll. Well, I didn't choose the venue." Q: "Do you think it'll be a success?" P: "If the weather is nice and everyone plays well, it'll be fine. Let's go.'' Q: ``Why are you holding this concert?'' P: ``I have two children and a wife, and I have to support them. I can't do another world tour. (10,000 people) I don't want to do a six-day show at Wembley Pool (Arena).But I don't want to go on the road, but I want to do a concert.If I want to do a concert at Hammersmith Odeon, I can't get tickets.6 People are going to get angry. That's why WHO has no choice but to do big concerts. We do festival-type shows, so we can do it in front of a lot of people. I also prefer small venues. Nowadays, it's becoming difficult to make a profit from concerts. Even a big show like this one can be so expensive that it can become unprofitable. ..” Q: “Do you know how much it costs?” P: “I don’t know. Even if you know, please don’t tell me.” (laughs) Live at Wembley Stadium, London, UK 18th August 1979 PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1(60:37) 1. Intro 2. Substitute 3. I Can't Explain 4.
