Toto/Tokyo,Japan 1982 S & V Upgrade

Beyond the official/unofficial distinction, this is a super-excellent work that will be the greatest masterpiece in TOTO history. This is a luxurious set of the leaked soundboard and upgraded pro shots of the “May 18, 1982: Nippon Budokan” performance, which was the apex record of the Japanese performance accompanying “Holy Sword”. A certain public broadcasting station’s television program and soundboard have been known for a long time, but this work is the apex. A half-official version was also released last year, but even that is out of the question, it is super elegant. This work is also not the first appearance. It is familiar from the big hit sold-out titles “MASTER SWORD” and “BUDOKAN 1982: STEREO SOUNDBOARD MIX”. Therefore, this work is not necessary for those who have both “MASTER SWORD” and “BUDOKAN 1982: STEREO SOUNDBOARD MIX”. However, it is unfortunate to leave the apex work that shines too dazzlingly out of print. Therefore, it is reprinted with a definitive edition specification that focuses on “May 18: Nippon Budokan”. It is a 2CD + DVD that I would like you to talk about forever. [Disc 1-2: Stereo sound board leaked by related parties] First of all, the leaked sound board sound source that first appeared in “MASTER SWORD”. “MASTER SWORD” itself was a 6-disc set set with the best audience of other performances, but this work only extracted the sound board of “May 18”. The quality is truly unprecedented. It is also a sound source that was a standard under the title “RUNAWAY” in the old days, but the actual performance is not a copy or remaster, but the original master. It is the origin master brought by the related parties, and it is a super high quality sound of a completely different dimension from last year’s half official and the already released “RUNAWAY”. The sound is perfect from beginning to end. It is completely official class … no, it is a super sound board that is even more than that. The sound quality itself is at the official level, but the super direct feeling unique to the direct connection to the table is something that even the official can not taste. I think it was probably recorded for broadcasting, but it was an unprocessed recording, and Steve Lukather’s guitar, David Paich’s keyboard, and Bobby Kimball’s singing voice all sounded like they were ringing directly in my head, not just in my ears. The cheers were only recorded in a small volume on the sound board directly connected to the table, but on the other hand, the synchronization with the band was tremendous. You can experience a sense of unity at a level where you are not a member of the band, but “TOTO is in your brain”. Moreover, the sound depicts the “Holy Sword” era, which is the pinnacle of the band. Although “THE BEST OF TOTO” is full of super-famous songs from the first four albums, it is not just the best of the early days, but also plays numbers such as “Good For You” and “Gift With A Golden Gun”, as well as “Live For Today” and “Runaway”, which were unique to that time. Not only is each piece delicious, but the flow of each show is also smooth. Moreover, it is the “golden members” of 1982 who are performing it… It’s a super luxurious live album that can’t be helped, with everything perfectly aligned, and it’s bound to become a masterpiece. [Disc 3: Stereo Multi-Camera Pro Shot] In addition to the apex live album, this work also includes the apex pro shot. This is a classic TV broadcast that is familiar to fans, but this work is the same as the apex “BUDOKAN 1982: STEREO SOUNDBOARD MIX”. Among the many air check masters, the best video that is said to be “the best” after many years of research is used, and the leaked sound board audio from the people involved on Discs 1-2 is synchronized there. The beautiful screen without white line noise or distortion, and the overwhelming power of the superb sound board are unprecedented. It is the highest version that can be an “official substitute”. Of course, it is not a full show because it is edited into a 60-minute broadcast frame, but in the main broadcast, “Girl Goodbye”, which was replaced on the previous day “May 17th”, is the original “May 18th” take, and the ending inserts “Hold The Line”, which was not included in the main program (“Rosanna” was used in the main broadcast). It is a peak specification that pays attention to every detail. The splendor of the highest peak show depicted with that visual beauty…. Especially impressive is Jeff Porcaro. The exquisite accents in “Child’s Anthem”, the delicate hopping rhythm of “Georgy Porgy”, the dynamism and cymbal work that makes full use of the six-series bass drum in “Goodbye Elenore”, the solid fill-in, the unique swell of space that always makes you feel 16 even in 8-beats such as “Afraid Of Love” and “Lovers In The Night”… how wonderful. Mike Porcaro and the sense of breathing that responds to it are also the best. In “Girl Goodbye”, the bass line with many empty picks is excellent, and the 6-night riff at the end of “I’ll Supply The Love” gives you goosebumps with the exquisite ensemble. Of course, the young Lukather’s hot playing supported by the ironclad rhythm, Bobby’s brilliant vocalization, Paich & Steve Porcaro’s keyboard skills (before the DX-7 was released, they used CS-80 and Jupiter 8, etc.), etc. … Such a tremendous performance is a video work that you can “see with your eyes”. TOTO in 1982, which was at the peak of their long career. This is a three-disc set that depicts their Japanese performance with a superb leaked soundboard by related parties and a stereo pro shot that exceeds even the main broadcast. It is a super masterpiece that shines as a cultural heritage of rock, regardless of the official / unofficial barrier.
