Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA, USA 21st October 1994 TRULY PERFECT SOUND
★First appearance・High quality sound source!!
　The Rolling Stones’ 1994 “VOODOO LOUNGE” tour has unearthed a long-awaited and “almost” first audience recording! The reason why it is “almost” is because only a few songs have been released in the past from the second day of the Pasadena performance, which is being released this time. There were two performances in Pasadena in 1994, and three songs from the second day’s take were included on the bonus disc of the nostalgic three-disc box set “VOODOO LOUNGE TOUR MEMORIAL US TOUR EDITION,” which mainly features the audience recording from the first day.
　However, the audience recordings of the three songs heard there were far away, and the clapping of the nearby audience sounded closer. When I listened to it, I could understand why it was a bonus. At the same time, it reminded me of the fact that this was a very exciting live performance.
　Nearly 30 years later, a new audience recording master appeared on the second day of the Pasadena concert in 1994. The newly discovered audience was recorded by Marco Mohr, who has been recording each of the After ZEP live shows with astonishing quality, surprising enthusiasts around the world.
　Compared to the arena-class live performances he recorded in the 1980s, such as the ZEP solos, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena is a much larger venue, as it was chosen by the Stones in the 1990s. Therefore, the sound image was not as good as that of the ZEP solos, but the sound quality was still clear and very easy to listen to. Moreover, the level is incomparable to the bonus sound source used in “VOODOO LOUNGE TOUR MEMORIAL US TOUR EDITION”.
　Although it is a little thin, if this is all that is recorded, it is easily press CD quality. Especially if it is a complete version of the audience on the day that could only be glimpsed in the three bonus tracks. And the high pitch, which is a consistent problem with the Moar recording, has been tightly adjusted to make it a limited press CD.
　And above all, the performance content is outstanding. A month before the live broadcast in Miami, the headquarters of the 1994 US tour, the performance is at full throttle. The performance on the first day of Pasadena, released 30 years ago, was also wonderful, but this day was even more wonderful.
　Miami was packed with too much stuff because they were conscious of the broadcast event, and in the first half of the live performance, both Mick and Keith seemed to be overwhelmed, but it was nice to hear the performance on the second day in Pasadena, which had reached a solid level three months after the start of the tour.
　In fact, the first peak of the performance is “Shattered”. Mick sings with high energy, and it seems that they will ride this momentum and rush into “Rocks Off”, but at that timing Keith suddenly starts changing his costume, so even when Mick announces the name of the song, the performance does not start. Rather, it is a pleasant happening that he uses Keith as a joke and connects the place with MC.
　Above all, the great appeal of this recording is that it demonstrates that the excitement of the day, which was already known from the previous release, was actually wonderful. The applause at the moment “Sympathy for the Devil” began, or the excitement that suddenly occurred in the middle of “Start Me Up” is also pleasant.
　Anyway, the Stones’ performance was a great performance, supported by a great audience. Not only is it the first recording since the 1994 “VOODOO LOUNGE” tour, but the rich content that is worthy of being called a buried masterpiece is sure to satisfy enthusiasts. Marco Moer has done it again!
★High quality sound and excellent stability. Definitely a great taper. It’s amazing to come across such a great sound after more than 30 years.
