Live in THE WORLD - North America

2023年年底，大象體操展開了為期一年，共23國60場的世界巡迴。紐約、東京、巴黎、智利聖地牙哥等城市皆達到完售佳績。全球樂迷的熱烈迴響以及各地不同的演出文化，讓樂團團員留下深刻印象。

大象體操精選了世界巡迴期間，來自四大洲的現場演出錄音。期待透過音檔與聽眾分享不同城市的演出氛圍。各洲的現場演出錄音，將以EP形式在2025年陸續發行，最終再收錄成完整現場演出專輯。

第三波「美國演出現場」精選收錄了〈青蛙 Frog〉和〈女巫 Witches〉兩首歌曲，分別取自東西岸的波士頓和舊金山演出現場，其中〈女巫 Witches〉一曲更邀請曾入圍第十三屆金音創作獎最佳樂手獎的長笛演奏家鄭宇泰一同前往美國登台，也是大象體操首次將管樂編制帶到美國巡迴，令現場觀眾大為驚喜。

已多次征戰美國音樂市場的大象體操，屢次突破團史的售票成績，門票銷售一空後再次征服更大舞台，從這兩首歌歌曲中，可以聽見經過新冠疫情漫長等待後，終於能再次交會的演奏能量與聽眾積蓄多時的感動與熱情。

At the end of 2023, Elephant Gym embarked on a year-long world tour, performing 60 shows across 23 countries. The tour featured sold-out performances in cities such as New York, Tokyo, Paris, and Santiago, Chile. The enthusiastic response from fans around the globe and the diverse audience reactions to the performances left a lasting impression on the band.

Elephant Gym has curated a selection of live recordings culled from select performances across four continents during this tour. Through these recordings, the band hopes to share with listeners the unique atmosphere of each respective city’s live performance. These continent-specific live recordings will be released as a series of EPs throughout 2025, culminating in a complete live album.

The third release in this series, “Live in THE WORLD - North America" captures the electrifying energy of two shows on the American East and West Coasts. Featuring the fan-favorite tracks "<青蛙 Frog>" and "<女巫 Witches>", this EP is a testament to the band’s power. The iconic live version of "<女巫 Witches>" also features a special guest appearance by flutist Cheng Yu-Tai, a nominee for Best Musician at the 13th Golden Indie Music Awards. This marked the very first time Elephant Gym brought a wind instrument arrangement to their US tour, a moment that delighted and surprised every person in the audience.

Having a strong presence in the US music market, Elephant Gym has consistently broken their own ticket sales records, conquering larger stages after repeatedly selling out shows. In these two songs, you can hear the vibrant energy of their performances and the pent-up emotion and passion of the audience, both finally able to reconnect after the long wait of the pandemic.
