Description
This is… What a live album. A masterpiece that can only be called the “best work of the ‘NOT IN THIS LIFETIME…TOUR'” has been born… This work contains the “January 29, 2017: Saitama Super Arena performance”. This is the final performance of the reorganized GUNS N’ ROSES, who shook the archipelago and left just the other day. Last week and this week, the masterpieces of all the performances of the Japan tour were released at once, so let’s organize them here.・January 21: “OSAKA 2017” ・January 22: “KOBE 2017” ・January 25: “LIVE YOKOHAMA 2017” *CDR ・January 28: “LIVE SAITAMA 2017 1ST NIGHT” ・January 29: Saitama Super Arena [This work] In this way, the Japan tour with Axel, Slash and Duff for the first time in 24 years was a total of 5 performances. Among them, it is an audience album that contains the final day, which is called the “best performance”. The biggest point of this work is the content of the show itself, which is said to be the “best performance”, but what is even more shocking is the sound. What can I say, it is a transcendent sound of an abnormal dimension. At our shop, we carefully select the best products from the recordings that arrive one after another for all performances and deliver them to you, but this work is the most intense of them all. The straight ball and super clear musical sound is not only “like a sound board” but also “like an official”. In fact, the “KOBE 2017” released at the same time this week is also a beautiful audience recording of the official class, but this work is not losing … or rather, it is winning!? No, both are transcendent, so it is a level of preference, but this work is better in terms of “surprise degree when listening”. What is so surprising? First of all, the deep bass. Usually, the deep bass is supposed to be a weak point in audience recording, but the deep bass of this work roars fat to the point of being scared, gouging out the five organs and shaking the six viscera. Moreover, despite the deep bass, the mid-high tones are never defeated, and the balance is also wonderful. What is this? Of course, not only the power but also the details are super clear. Although the official-class musical sound / singing voice is comparable to “KOBE 2017”, this work has a sense of scale unique to the audience. Please do not misunderstand here, there is no sense of distance in the musical sound. It is almost as close as if it was made in the same room. Usually, the official album also adds an echo to the performance sound to make it rich, but the sound is at that level, that is, the sound is of a dimension that is not conscious. Moreover, while the official album is merely a “manufactured echo”, the “sound” of this work is extremely natural. In other words, it is an “audience that has exceeded the official sound”. It is surprising that it is just this sound in any venue, but it is realized in a huge venue like “Saitama Super Arena” …. It is a super sound that does not seem to be “Saitama Super Arena”, but this work is undoubtedly “Saitama Super Arena”. The huge applause that proves it is also sealed. Of course, far away from the transcendent performance sound, there is a vast sea of ​​applause. That’s right … remember the last scene of Tuesday Suspense Theater. While questioning the criminal on the cliff, the sound of the waves that come and go at the timing that seems to be remembered can be heard in the distance. The loud cheers of this work also boil up at an exquisite timing, and although it is full of a sense of scale of more than 30,000, it does not overlap with the sound on the stage … Even the slightest touch of the piano flows into your ears completely undisturbed. In fact, the person who made this recording possible is Takumi, who has outstanding skills even in the Kanto region, which is full of virtuoso masters. We have received cooperation from countless recordists at our store, but he is on a slightly different level. No, each recordist has left behind a wonderful work, and Takumi does not necessarily become No. 1. However, this Takumi continues to record on average what would be a “masterpiece” for others. This work is a masterpiece that is so far away that it is the “highest peak of the Takumi collection.” Such a sound depicts the final performance, famous as the “best.” The set list, which was somewhat small at the beginning of the Japanese performance, has increased in number of songs with each live performance, and this day is the largest set, along with Yokohama. Moreover, “Yesterdays” is only on this day, and it is the only song that is performed once. In other words, this work is not only the longest live performance in Japan, but also an absolute necessity to listen to all the songs. And the more they included the set and the special songs, the better the day was. The Japan performance was a month and a half after the “South American leg” just before, so although they were not tired, they were still driving at full speed in the early days. However, by repeating the five performances, the band’s engine gradually improved, and the final performance was a splendid peak. Every performance was full of sounds that could only be made by Axel, Slash, and Duff, but the ensemble of all three, including the three, was fully engaged in the live performance. Anyway, everything was amazing. The abnormally high sound quality that even the official version could not have been possible, the longest set list for the Japan performance, the ensemble with the engine at full throttle, the one-time “Yesterdays” in Japan… Everything is here. Since this is their first visit to Japan in 24 years, I think many people will be asking for a recording of the performance they actually saw, but no matter which live performance they experienced, this work is different. No, it’s not just about Japan. Maniacs all over the world will be shocked by the appearance of this work and will be at a loss for words, saying, “This is the No. 1 tour…”. It is such an unavoidable one. It is a live album of the “NOT IN THIS LIFETIME” dimension.
