Did that Mike Millard even record Bowie on stage? The audience album "L.A. FORUM 1978 MIKE MILLARD 1st GEN" shocked enthusiasts around the world. The ultra-recording, which combines both the expansive presence and the on-tape sound image that is typical of MILLARD, has been rumored to be sold out. The "Isolar II" tour of 1978 was not only the time when the live album "STAGES" was officially released, but also the time when the audience recordings were blessed. The quality of the recording is one of the best in the world, and is something that can only be achieved with a Millard source. With such an excellent audience recording, it is impossible for the recordings to remain sold out. Rather, it must be supplied to enthusiasts as an introductory audience album to the "Isolar II" tour and the American leg of the tour. This is even more so when it is recorded by Mike Millard. One of the more surprising factors for enthusiasts around the world is that the recording was made on the same day as the masterpiece LP "SLAUGHTER IN THE AIR" that introduced the charm of the "Isolar II" tour and American Leg in rear-tie. The opening "Isolar II" tour The opening song "Warszawa," which could not be heard on the masterpiece, was recorded on the same day as the LP "SLAUGHTER IN THE AIR," which conveyed the charm of the American leg of the tour. The impact of this recording made "L.A. FORUM 1978 MIKE MILLARD 1st GEN" a big hit. However, there were some cuts between songs in the latter half of the live performance even in the master recording by Millard. In fact, there were some cuts between songs in the second half of the live performance, even in Millard's masterful recording. However, these cuts are well recorded on "SLAUGHTER IN THE AIR" (hereinafter referred to as "LP"). If this is the case, the complete version without cuts can be realized by making up for the missing parts. This was attempted by overseas enthusiasts when the Millard source appeared in 2019, and it was circulating among Bowie traders. However, the version at that time was not edited properly and the sound of the LP part was not good enough (as is often the case with the editing work of overseas maniacs). Then, "GRAF ZEPPELIN" came to the rescue. The LP source was used again for those missing parts, and the adjustments were made with precision. The smoothness of the finish is so impressive that one might think that Millard had recorded the tracks without any cuts. But that's not all. For this re-release, "GRAF ZEPPELIN" has remastered the Millard recordings. Come to think of it, "GRAF ZEPPELIN" also showed great skill in the mirrored mastering of the eternal masterpiece "LISTEN TO THIS EDDIE". Yes, "GRAF ZEPPELIN" is the best when it comes to his recordings made in the late 1970s, the peak of Millard's recording period. The remastering by GRAF ZEPPELIN is also a masterpiece, retaining the delicate treble extension typical of Millard's recordings from the late 1970s, but evolving into a more robust sound quality. Of course, this is not an intrusive finish that drastically alters the charm and impression of the original sound, but it is a different dimension. In this sense, it could be said that the sound quality has come a little closer to that of "SLAUGHTER IN THE AIR. It also certainly contributed to the smooth editing this time around. The result is an unquestionably the best of the two high-level April 4, 1978 LA Forum audience recordings. The L.A. Forum 1978 is the definitive version of the L.A. Forum that enthusiasts around the world have been waiting for, featuring Millard's best recordings and uncensored live performance from beginning to end. L.A. FORUM 1978 MIKE MILLARD 1st GEN" was also a priceless masterpiece, but this time, the strongest audience album representing the American leg of the "Isolar II" tour has been born! Remastering notes: The mirrored master was remastered, and the LP source was used to fill in two parts that could be made up in the cut sections between songs to reproduce the longest version ever. The mirrored master was EQ'ed to all frequencies to create a tight and firm sound that is typical of the mirrored source. The power of the Millard sound has been increased.
