Description

[Machine Translation] Treasure Ark! Countdown live in Dublin in 1989, the end of the 80's for both U2 and the era! B.B. King also appeared as a guest! Countdown live in Dublin with U2 and B.B. King at the beginning of the 90's! Lovetown Tour" started in September 1989 with B.B. King as a support act, following up "Rattle & Hum (Scream of the Soul)" (1988). December was the European leg of the tour, and the final four shows were held in Dublin, Ireland, from December 26 to 31, 1989 (with a break on December 28). The performance started after the New Year's countdown. The band played the Jimi Hendrix-tinged "From the Watchtower" and "Running to Stand Still," ending with "Dirty Old Town," a song made locally known by the Dubliners, to a huge ovation. For the encore, B.B. King appeared on stage and performed three songs from "Scream of the Soul. B.B. recorded "When Love Comes To Town" in Memphis during the Joshua Tree Tour, and the live version was included on the album. It became a standard song played at B.B.'s live shows for many years. Anyway, it was impossible not to get excited when U2 played the countdown song at their triumphant return to their hometown in the peak of their career. The song was recorded without any excesses, including the tremendous cheers of the crowd. On the other hand, for U2, who have been changing their style since their next album "Acton Baby" ('91), this show seemed to be the end of their career up to this point. This is a valuable record of a moment at the boundary of an era. Commentary included.

ブルース・イヤーズ・イヴ・ウィズ・B.B. キング 1989 / U2

良質なライブ音源をセレクトするシリーズ、トレジャー・アーク! 時代にとってもU2にとっても80年代に終わりを告げる、地元ダブリンでの89年のカウントダウン・ライヴ! B.B.キングもゲストで登場! 90年代が幕を開けるタイミングで行われた、U2とB.B.キングによるダブリンでのカウントダウン・ライヴ! 『ラトル&ハム (魂の叫び)』(88年)をフォローする形で、B.B.キングをサポート・アクトに1989年の9月から行われた <Lovetown Tour>は、1stレッグは <Joshua Tree Tour>で回れなかったオセアニアを2ヶ月に渡って回り、11月23日から12月1日までは日本でも6公演が行われた。12月はヨーロッパ・ツアーで、その千秋楽が89年12月26日から31日まで (28日はお休み)行われた地元のダブリンでの4公演となった。新年のカウントダウンが終わったところから演奏がスタート。ジミヘン風味の「見張り塔からずっと」や、「ランニング・トゥ・スタンド・スティル」の最後ではダブリナーズによって地元では誰もが知ることになった歌「ダーティ・オールド・タウン」に繋げて大喝采となった。アンコールではB.B.キングが登場し、『魂の叫び』に収録されていた3曲を共演。中でも「When Love Comes To Town」はB.B.がU2に依頼して作ってもらった曲で、<Joshua Tree Tour>の合間にメンフィスでレコーディング、アルバムにはライヴ・ヴァージョンが収録された。B.B.のライヴでは長年に渡って演奏される定番曲となったもの。とにかく、絶頂期のU2の地元凱旋ライヴでカウントダウンとなれば盛り上がらないはずがない。そのものすごい歓声までを余すことなく収録している。一方で、次作の『アクトン・ベイビー』(91年)以降、作風を変えていくU2にとっては、この日のライヴはここまでの時代の締めくくりを意識したものであったよう。まさに時代の境目の一瞬を記録した貴重な音源。解説付。
