Description

Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA, USA 22nd August 1986 STEREO SBD

　The “LIVES IN THE BALANCE Tour”, known as a treasure trove of famous records even in the 1980s, is now available as a soundboard album to further enrich its collection.

　This work was recorded at the “Mountain View Performance on August 22, 1986.” It is a stereo soundboard recording. 1986 was once said to be a hidden gem of sound sources, but in recent years, it has rapidly expanded. Nowadays, soundboards and pro shots have become a plentiful harvest. To understand the situation around that time, let’s start by taking a bird’s-eye view of the activities at that time.

　This is Jackson Browne from 1986/1987. Not only the classic pro shot “ROCKPALAST 1986” but also the press masterpiece “HAMBURG 1986 SOUNDBOARD (Zion-240)” was unearthed. Both were European records, but this Mountain View performance was the 38th performance of the main leg, “North America # 2”. The other day, “SARATOGA SPRINGS 1986 SOUNDBOARD (Uxbridge 2637)” was also very well received, but it was two months later (after 26 performances).

　This show was broadcast on Westwood One’s famous program “IN CONCERT” and is a classic that has produced many previously released groups. This work has been digitized from that best master. In fact, the sound is superb. Recently, the new master of the rebroadcast version has been talked about in some circles, but the quality is completely unmatched. Each note is fresh, clear, and vivid, with no cloudiness or turbidity whatsoever. While the recording has a slight FM feel of the 1980s, it is more than enough to withstand an official release. It could be said to be “official excavation quality.”

　Such an official sound is depicted as a full show that is similar to the highly popular “SARATOGA SPRINGS 1986 SOUNDBOARD”. Here, let’s organize the full set while comparing them.

● Lives in the Balance (6 songs)
・ In The Shape Of A Heart / Soldier Of Plenty (★) / Black And White / Lives In The Balance / Lawless Avenues (★) / For America
● Others (2 songs + 5 songs)
・ Messenger of Love: Downtown / For A Rocker
・ Others: Boulevard / For Everyman / Late For The Sky / Doctor, My Eyes / Somebody’s Baby (★★) / I Am A Patriot (★★)
* Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that could not be heard on the most recent live album “SARATOGA SPRINGS 1986 SOUNDBOARD”. In particular, the “★★” mark indicates songs that were not even on the pro-shot masterpiece “ROCKPALAST 1986”.

…And so it is. The last number “I Am A Patriot”, which was missing from the aforementioned rebroadcast version, is also included. The set is also different from the press masterpiece “HAMBURG 1986 SOUNDBOARD”, and “Downtown”, which cannot be heard there, is also shown. This song is also a delicious repertoire that will no longer be played after this tour.

　Jackson Browne opened a new chapter in 1986 with politically charged lyrics and synthesizers. This is the highest quality soundboard album master, allowing you to experience the live performance in your mind. Along with “HAMBURG 1986 SOUNDBOARD” and “SARATOGA SPRINGS 1986,” this masterpiece is one of the three major soundboards from the “LIVES IN THE BALANCE Tour.” Please enjoy this best master work to your heart’s content.

This stereo soundboard recording from the “Mountain View performance on August 22, 1986” is a masterpiece digitized from the official best master, featuring classic tracks from “LIVES IN THE BALANCE” as well as rare tracks like “Somebody’s Baby” and “I Am A Patriot.” Along with “HAMBURG 1986 SOUNDBOARD” and “SARATOGA SPRINGS 1986,” this masterpiece is one of the “three major soundboards from the LIVES IN THE BALANCE Tour.”
