As mentioned in Billy Joel's finest Odins album "MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1984", which will be released on a limited press CD this week, "FROM A PIANO MAN TO AN INNOCENT MAN" in 1984 about four years ago. A great audience recording was unearthed from the tour. That is the Philadelphia performance on February 13th. The sound quality here is also really excellent recording quality.
The on-sound image balance of the performance is excellent, and in particular, regarding the closeness of Billy's singing voice, isn't it more on than this MSG? Despite its astonishing quality, it was a sad sound source that was buried without attracting the attention of enthusiasts around the world. In fact, with this release, you may be surprised that "Is this kind of recording buried?" To be honest, if this MSG had not been discovered, it would have been possible to release it on a press CD.
If there is something inferior to MSG, it is the freshness of the sound source. While there was a synergistic recording in which the outstanding freshness greatly improved the clearness, this is a slightly muddy sound quality. It can be said that the sound quality is analog and rounded, which is not as good as the MSG, which is too honor student, but there are many enthusiasts who like this sound quality. If the MSG sound source had not appeared, it would definitely have been released on a press CD.
Besides, it is also valuable in that it captures the stage at the beginning of the "FROM A PIANO MAN TO AN INNOCENT MAN" tour with excellent sound quality. Since MSG is a very successful tour of Chiakigaku, there was a lot of play in the arrangement of performances and between songs. However, Philadelphia has not escalated the arrangement because it is the beginning of the tour, and it is interesting to play exactly according to the format that would have been decided at the start of the tour.
