U2 You2/London,UK 03.29.1983 Complete

U2's "WAR" era saw them breakthrough, rise to headliner status, and once again embark on a full-scale global invasion. The legendary original master, offering the ultimate experience, is being reissued. This work captures the "March 29, 1983 Hammersmith Performance," a transcendent audience recording. Speaking of "Hammersmith from the WAR tour," the similarly titled "HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1982" and "HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1983 2ND NIGHT" are also popular. To avoid confusion, let's first organize our collection and take a bird's-eye view of their activities at the time. 1982 (September-October "WAR" production) December 1st-24th: Europe #1 (20 performances) ←※ HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1982 1983 February 26th-March 29th: UK (28 performances) ←★COCO★ April 3rd: Bourges performance April 23rd-June 29th: North America (48 performances) ←※ DENVER 1983 etc. July 2nd-August 21st: Europe #2 (5 performances) ←※ DUBLIN 1983 etc. November 16th-30th: Hawaii / Japan (7 performances) ←※ SHIBUYA KOKAIDO 1983 This is U2 from the "WAR" era. Three concerts were held at "Hammersmith Palais" and two at "Hammersmith Odeon", and this work is the former. It was one act of the "UK" leg that began at the beginning of the year. There were many masterpieces during this period, and the famous soundboard album "TIFFANY'S 1983" was also from the "UK." Let's focus on the dates further here. Details of "UK" * February 26th "DUNDEE 1983" ・ February 27th: Aberdeen performance ("WAR" released on February 28th) * February 28th "EDINBURGH 1983" ・ March 1st-21st: UK (18 performances) * March 22nd "HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1983 2ND NIGHT" * March 24th "TIFFANY'S 1983" ・ March 25th-28th: ​​UK (4 performances) * March 29th: Hammersmith performance ←★This work★ ... and so on. "HAMMERSMITH PALAIS 1983 2ND NIGHT" is also from the same leg, but it was not a consecutive performance, and this work was the final day of the concert. This work, which conveys such a show, is a legendary, ultra-high-end audience recording. It's the original master unearthed 20 years ago, digitized from the original cassette directly donated by the recording artist himself, making it a masterpiece among masterpieces. Not only is it simply fresh, but the ultra-thick core thunders with a fierce directness, each note of each instrument stands out clearly, and the sense of separation is immense. The vividness of the bass, in particular, makes it hard to believe it was recorded in space through the atmosphere. In fact, when it was first discovered 20 years ago, specialist magazines praised it, saying, "No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a line recording," and "It sounds so close to you that you'd think it was recorded on stage." Even by modern standards, we would like to offer the same praise. This is a transcendental masterpiece that far exceeds the common sense of spatial recording. The transcendental direct sound depicts the full show of the fiery "WAR Tour". The aforementioned iconic soundboard album "TIFFANY'S 1983" was an incomplete version of about 53 minutes that followed the broadcast frame, but this work is a complete album of about 86 minutes. In order to realize the volume of the number of songs, let's organize the set while comparing them here. WAR (6 songs) Seconds / Surrender (★) / New Year's Day / Sunday Bloody Sunday / Two Hearts Beat As One / 40 (★) Others (5 songs + 5 songs + 3 songs) Boy: A Day Without Me / The Cry-The Electric Co. / Twilight (★) / Out of Control / I Will Follow (★) Irish October: Gloria / I Threw A Brick Through A Window / I Fall Down / October / Tomorrow (＊) Others: Trash, Trampoline and the Party Girl (★) / O'clock Tick Tock (★) / Knockin' On Heaven's Door (★) *Note: "★" indicates songs that were not heard on the classic album "TIFFANY'S 1983." "＊" indicates songs that were not performed after this tour. In any case, we hope you will experience the otherworldly direct sound.
