Release Notes
The first delivery of "WITNESS FESTIVAL 2002 COMPLETE" is the CD-R "FINSBURY PARK FIRST NIGHT" which contains the first day of Finsbury Park, the biggest performance in July. Finsbury Park is famous enough to be associated with Oasis's 2002 performance. Finsbury Park in 2002 was held for three days, but the most famous is probably the last day when it was broadcast on radio. There are audience recordings for the remaining two days, but those were also released on CD-R in 2002, and the first day was released as "FINSBURY PARK FIRST NIGHT". This is a reprint of that. Since it was a gig in a vast outdoor square, both of the sound sources for the two days have the sound quality of a typical outdoor audience recording, but in terms of ease of listening, the first day is clearly better. In particular, the sound image of Liam's singing voice is well balanced, and the secret to its ease of listening is that the sound coming from the venue is not blown away by the wind, which is common in outdoor recordings. In addition, the large chorus that was customary at Oasis gigs is captured in a balance further back than the performance, which adds to the ease of listening. The only part where the chorus is barely irritating is around "Moring Glory", and even then, it is fortunate that it is pushed to the right side. Rather than the raging excitement captured by the radio broadcast on the final day, it seems to have a very tranquil and realistic feel. And after all, Finsbury Park was a big challenge for Oasis in 2002, so the performance on the first day can't be bad. Liam's tension is at an epic level. His voice is already coming out, and listening to him attacking is enough to make you shiver. The performance on the final day was so great, but you will realize that this day was also a great performance. On the final day, there was a tremendous chorus of Noel's "She's Electric," but it wasn't so intense on this day (bitter smile), and the chorus was more heated for "Don't Look Back In Anger." It is also attractive that the sense of realism is captured in a balanced manner without any unpleasantness. And the finale, "My Generation," begins with Noel dedicating it to John Entwistle, who passed away suddenly, and at the end, Liam shouts "Come on!", and the high tension that is typical of Finsbury Park shines until the end. The first day of Finsbury Park, which is surprisingly easy to listen to and surprisingly difficult to obtain.
