Live in THE WORLD - North America

2023年年底，大象体操展开了为期一年，共23国60场的世界巡回。纽约、东京、巴黎、智利圣地牙哥等城市皆达到完售佳绩。全球乐迷的热烈回响以及各地不同的演出文化，让乐团团员留下深刻印象。

大象体操精选了世界巡回期间，来自四大洲的现场演出录音。期待透过音档与听众分享不同城市的演出氛围。各洲的现场演出录音，将以EP形式在2025年陆续发行，最终再收录成完整现场演出专辑。

第三波“美国演出现场”精选收录了〈青蛙 Frog〉和〈女巫 Witches〉两首歌曲，分别取自东西岸的波士顿和旧金山演出现场，其中〈女巫 Witches〉一曲更邀请曾入围第十三届金音创作奖最佳乐手奖的长笛演奏家郑宇泰一同前往美国登台，也是大象体操首次将管乐编制带到美国巡回，令现场观众大为惊喜。

已多次征战美国音乐市场的大象体操，屡次突破团史的售票成绩，门票销售一空后再次征服更大舞台，从这两首歌歌曲中，可以听见经过新冠疫情漫长等待后，终于能再次交会的演奏能量与听众积蓄多时的感动与热情。

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.
