Translated release notes for Wardour's INDIANAPOLIS 1996:
The first delivery of “DEFINITIVE FAIRFAX 1996”, which contains a high-tension radio sound source, comes with a bonus CD-R “INDIANAPOLIS 1996”, which contains the show on March 5, which was the gig before the fairfax. ..
Indianapolis in 1996 was recorded by an audience using DAT. The overall sound image is far away (especially in the first half of the gig), and during the opening “The Swamp Song”, noise that seems to have been generated from the aging of DAT is mixed in the ball, but the sound quality is mild enough. It’s clear, and there’s no noise around me, so even if you’re not a maniac, you can listen to it without stress.
What surprised me most when I heard the performance on this day was that the number of the Gallagher brothers was small, unlike Fairfax. In the broadcast, the two of them talked to the audience at a level close to screaming, but their MC was very few between the songs of the day. In particular, Liam only emits the title of the song, and the fact that there is such a clear difference is very interesting to hear.
However, the performance is not low in tension (at all!), But rather, while I get the impression that the show is progressing lightly, Liam’s tone is very good, and every song is sung reasonably.
The mysterious contrast that the tension of the performance itself is very high, while the fair fax is crispy with a small number of words because it has been shaken off so much without worrying about the prohibited words.
After all, the tension of the two people was so high with the awareness that Fairfax will be recorded for radio, and it made me get a glimpse of what it was like in the normal business mode of the tour. It will be a document that will help you.
In other words, there was no sense of omission in the performance itself, and not only Liam but also Noel was singing enthusiastically in the narration corner, and “Slide Away” was particularly wonderful. In addition, the audience is very lively, and the occasional chorus is captured in a sarcastic balance. Of course, it is a fact that it cannot be called a press CD level as long as it is a distant sound image, but it is this sound source that you can still enjoy enough.
In other words, it can be compared to the “Yin” Fairfax as the “Yin” Indianapolis. A valuable sound source from the 1996 US tour where you can enjoy before and after with the rare famous sound source Fairfax. Please listen and compare with this bonus CD-R for the first delivery only!
