The best professional shots representing the legendary "WAR TOUR" have been upgraded to the highest peak ever! The representative images are "August 20, 1983 Sankt Goarshausen performance" and "May 30, 1983 San Bernardino performance". Yes, it is a super famous professional shot known for "ROCKPALAST OPEN AIR FESTIVAL 1983" and "THE US FESTIVAL 1983". It's a good opportunity, so let's imagine the position of the show from the overall picture of "WAR TOUR". 1982 (September-October "WAR" production) ・December 1st-24th: Europe #1 (20 performances) 1983 February 28th "WAR" released ・February 26th-April 3rd: Europe #2 (29 performances) ・April 23rd-June 29th: North America (48 performances) ←★here ・July 2nd-August 21st: Europe #3 (5 performances) ←★here★ ・November 16th-30th: Hawaii + Japan (7 performances) A total of 109 performances. With the huge success of the album as a tailwind, it was a tour that established the status of a big band in one go. The "US FESTIVAL" in this work was the 28th performance in "North America", and the "ROCKPALAST FESTIVAL" was the 4th performance in "Europe #3". These two big stages have been known for television broadcasts for a long time, and have reigned as the symbolic images of the "WAR TOUR" alongside the official "UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY". This work is a major decision board that upgrades these two major professional shots. Let's take a closer look at each one. August 20, 1983: ROCKPALAST OPEN AIR FESTIVAL First up is the "ROCKPALAST FESTIVAL". The "WAR TOUR" was the final performance venue here in Japan, but it was a show just before that. The beauty of the image is ultimate! Of course, it will be shot in analog due to the era, but the quality is such that even modern digital images are pale blue... This work is truly a digital master. In fact, this image was rebroadcast in the summer of 2017 as a digital broadcast. Of course, there is no dubbing deterioration or aging deterioration at all. Not only the performance of the members, but also the sunlight reflecting off the guitar and the expressions of the audience, the super vivid beauty of the images that can only be seen in modern digital broadcasting spreads. This beauty is... well, it's like wearing glasses with a slightly strong degree. When making glasses, they are made to be a little stronger, but the image beauty of this work is so vivid that it is "too visible" like glasses with no weak degree. It is a visual beauty that is comparable to the official album "UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY". May 30, 1983: THE US FESTIVAL Next up is the century's biggest rock event "US FESTIVAL". It is a literally huge festival that is said to have gathered 670,000 people over four days, but U2 appeared on the third day "ROCK DAY". They performed legendary performances with David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Joe Walsh, and others. This work is the highest peak image of such a legendary stage. The air check of the TV broadcast is famous, but this work is completely different. It is a leaked master before the broadcast. It is clear that it is an analog master because there is a noise of less than 0.1 seconds shortly after playback, but there is not even a single white line noise after that. It seems to be a copy of the original master, and there are no dubbing marks. The sound is also a superb stereo sound board. It is not of digital origin, and it was recorded in the second half because there are moments when the sound has a very slight noise, but there is no doubt that it is the best ever ... or rather, it is a super clear image that I could not even imagine that it remained with such amazing image quality and sound quality. It is wonderful that the two major festivals are depicted with such quality! Of course, "WAR TOUR" itself could be experienced in "UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY", but the "rawness" and "recording feeling" of this work are unique to broadcast recording. The set filled with the super masterpieces of the early trilogy, the youthful live performance and Bono's appearance alone are overwhelming, but the audience who witness it is also amazing. The super-large crowd at the "US FESTIVAL", which left a huge name in history, was particularly impressive. The enthusiastic expressions of the audience up close were clearly visible, but the further back they went, the smaller they became, until the horizon was filled with human faces. And the "earth of people" rippled with the melody, undulating like a giant creature breathing... This work is a concert video of a young U2, but it is also more than that. Not only the wonderful music of the "WAR TOUR", but also the "breath of the era" that loved them. A major pro-shot picture scroll that depicts it with the highest quality in history. The definitive upgrade of the 1983 Rock Palace and US Festival footage. A must-have and must-have for fans. Recorded from the master rebroadcast at the end of July 2017. An obvious upgrade.
