Description

Club Boston, Boston, MA, USA 3rd December 1980 STEREO SBD

★Perfect stereo soundboard

　The “Jimmy Crespo/Brad Whiford” era, which existed for only a year and a half, is a bubble. The symbolic soundboard has been upgraded! It has been decided to release a press CD that will permanently preserve the newly excavated master by a unique route!

　This work is engraved with the “Boston performance on December 3, 1980”. It is a stereo soundboard recording recorded at a special concert celebrating the 10th anniversary of the band’s formation. Crespo joined the band towards the end of the production of “NIGHT IN THE RUTS” and remained with the band until Joe Perry returned in 1984. First, let’s take a rough overview of those five years and approach the position of this work.

●June 1979: Joe leaves, Jimmy Crespo joins
, November 16th, “NIGHT IN THE RUTS” released
●1980 ←★Here★
●July 1981: Brad leaves, Rick Dufay joins
●
August 27th 1982, “ROCK IN A HARD PLACE” released
●1983
●May 1984: Joe and Brad return

　This is a brief history of the Jimmy Crespo era. In 1981, the twin guitar partner was replaced from Brad to Rick Dufay, but the Boston performance of this work was a part of the “NIGHT IN THE RUTS” era before that. Now, let’s focus on the schedule further.

●1979,
March 27th – April 14th (4 shows)
{June: Joe leaves -> Jimmy Crespo joins}
, June 30th – July 28th (5 shows)
, November 2nd – December 28th (11 shows)
●1980
, January 10th – June 12th (26 shows)
, December 1st + 3rd (3 shows) ←★Here★

Brad leaves and Rick Dufay joins

　That’s all for AEROSMITH in 1979/1980. Some of the records from that time are still vague, and some sources may differ from the above. Please consider this as a reference to get a rough idea of the flow. Anyway, the “NIGHT IN THE RUTS Tour” itself ended in mid-1980. After that, it took about a year for Brad to leave, and this work was the 10th anniversary concert held in his hometown of Boston in the meantime.

　The pattern was broadcast on radio on “WCOZ”. The FM sound board has produced many previously released groups. This work is the highest peak update of such a standard sound source. It is a newly excavated master provided by an overseas researcher. In fact, the sound is more beautiful than ever. In terms of gene, it is the same “WCOZ FM Reel Master” as the best ever, but this work is clearly dynamic and natural.

　The conventional version also had a strong direct feeling, but the sound was thin and the peaks were distorted. However, this work is extremely rich. The core density is also plentiful, and the contours of each sound are clear and vivid. Above all, the peaks are not crushed, they extend beautifully and are very easy to listen to. It is a superb sound board that is truly worthy of being called “completely official class”.

　From here on, it’s just speculation, but if the conventional version and this work are really the same “WCOZ FM Reel Master”, the difference may be the difference in transfer accuracy and mastering. After all, when the old master was unearthed, it was the loudness war era of “sound pressure is justice”. Even if it became thin with a cheap transfer, the cause was not noticed, and it was often processed to a painful sound by forcibly earning sound pressure and released. This work has no processing feeling, and the original wideness and wide range of the master are alive.

　Such a natural and dynamic sound depicts the live performance of the rare era, which is a singular point in AEROSMITH history. Speaking of the Crespo era soundboard, the press masterpiece “LIVE IN A HARD PLACE ’83 (Zodiac 619)” is also familiar, but that was after Rick Dufay joined, so the tour was different and the set was significantly different. Let’s organize it by comparing it here.

●Night in the Rats (3 songs)
・Three Mile Smile/Reefer Head Woman (★)/Think About It (★)
●Others (12 songs)
・Fly! Aerosmith: Lord Of The Thighs/Seasons Of Wither (★)/Train Kept A Rollin’
・Dark Night Heavy Rock: Big Ten Inch Record/Walk This Way
・Rocks: Rats In The Cellar (★)/Lick And A Promise
・Draw The Line: I Wanna Know Why (★)/Milk Cow Blues
・Others: Walkin’ The Dog (★)/Mother Popcorn (★)/Come Together (★)
*Note: ★ marks songs that could not be heard on the soundboard masterpiece “LIVE IN A HARD PLACE ’83”.

…And so it is. There is also “Three Mile Smile” played by Crespo on “NIGHT IN THE RUTS”, but the rest are just classics and covers from Joe’s time. They have been repainted in Crespo’s colors. Moreover, “Three Mile Smile” and “I Wanna Know Why” are precious songs that have never been played after the re-break. This work will pour such delicious live performances into your brain with a completely official sound.

　This is the work of “LIVE IN A HARD PLACE ’83” after Dufay joined, and “NIGHT IN THE RUTS Tour” where Brad was still there. These two works are the big decision boards that will serve as the official substitutes in the Jimmy Crespo era. It is the highest peak renewal board of the traditional sound board that has risen to the same level as the official work. Please enjoy it anytime and forever with the press CD that will keep its brilliance forever.

★Stereo soundboard recording of the “Boston performance on December 3, 1980”. A newly excavated master by a unique route, the sound is overwhelmingly upgraded, even though it is the same FM reel of the broadcasting station “WCOZ” as the best so far. There is no distortion like the conventional master, and it is dynamic and natural. You can enjoy the precious Jimmy Crespo / Brad Whiford era with a completely official sound without complaint. It is an absolute work that serves as an official substitute.
