★Almost a stereo soundboard!!!
 While the masterpiece “ATLANTA 2025 2 DAYS COMPLETE: ORIGINAL IN EAR MONITOR RECORDING”, which delivered Paul’s latest “GOT BACK” tour with shocking ultra-clear sound, is still fresh in our memory, we have exclusively obtained in-ear monitor recordings of the latest tour and released a limited press CD!
 Before the two days in Atlanta, Paul performed live in New Orleans. The first recording from this tour was also made by a maniac who performed in-ear monitor recording in Atlanta. Thanks to this, the third superb recording was born from the latest tour! This is a blessed situation that will delight maniacs. Above all, since there are no audience-sourced recordings in New Orleans at all, this is the only way to enjoy the full show! Moreover, the best in-ear monitor sound quality!
 Since this was the first in-ear monitor recording, only Wicks’ in-ear monitors could be heard in the first two songs, “Help!” and “Coming Up,” and the vocals were unbalanced. To reinforce this balance, the audience recording from the same day was added to restore the sound to a more listenable state. However, as you listen to “Coming Up” from the middle, you will no longer notice this.
 Rather, what explodes from the second half of “Coming Up” is an ultra-clear sound that can be enjoyed with a stereo soundboard feel. In particular, the horn timbre that explodes in “Got to Get You Into My Life” is better balanced than the Atlanta performance, and it feels really good to listen to. This kind of clarity is a technique that cannot be achieved by recording an audience with a close sound image, no matter how hard you try. Not only that, but the direct feeling emitted from the entire band sound is tremendous.
 The overall presence and tone of the acoustic guitar are excellent, and of course the acoustic corner starting with “I’ve Just Seen a Face” is a spectacular listen. The stereo effect is also outstanding, and you’ll be overwhelmed by the sound quality and realism that cannot be achieved even with close-sounding audience recordings.
 In addition, despite the relaxed schedule in New Orleans with no performances before or after, Paul’s voice engine started early. This may have been due to the fact that a month had passed since the start of the tour.
 The acoustic section that day was quite dramatic. During the signboard time before the familiar “In Spite of All the Danger,” a Japanese person who had participated in the New Orleans concert caught Paul’s eye with a “SAIKO” signboard, and he exclaimed “Awesome!” repeatedly. Then, in front of the “Japanese Lesson Please” signboard, Paul jokingly exclaimed “The Bittles!” or “The Beatles!” for the first time in a while. What’s more, it was a surprising turn of events in New Orleans.
 In addition, since New Orleans was a place where racial discrimination was severe in the past, after the performance of “Blackbird,” Paul spoke at length about the circumstances that led to the song being written and the episodes that occurred in Jacksonville in 1964, which was very moving.

 Although the highlights tended to be concentrated in the acoustic section on this day, the latter half of the live performance, like Atlanta, also approached the listener with a vivid, direct feeling in stereo. The virtual duet with John, “I’ve Got a Feeling,” also has a vivid, stereo feel that is superb. This time too, you can enjoy Paul’s latest live performance with peace of mind with this amazing in-ear monitor recording, with a soundboard-like feel. Enjoy the truly “awesome!” sound quality!
