Aerosmith/Tokyo,Japan 2.9.1977

AEROSMITH’s legendary first visit to Japan was realized two months before KISS. A newly excavated live album vacuum-packed from “February 45 years ago” when the archipelago shook is now available. This work is recorded from the “February 9, 1977: Nippon Budokan” performance. This is an excellent audience recording. AEROSMITH’s first visit is historic, but their visit to Japan in the golden 70s was only one time. Because it was such a significant “event,” we have archived it with various records. First of all, let’s organize the collection from the monumental schedule.・January 29: Gunma Prefectural Sports Center・January 31: “ROCKS BUDOKAN”・February 1: “NAGOYA 1977″・February 4: “EAST SIDE WEST SIDE BLUES (Kyuden Gymnasium)”・February 6: Kyoto Kaikan First Hall・February 7: Osaka Festival Hall・February 9: Nippon Budokan ←★This work★ *Only representative works on each day. All 7 performances. This was their first visit to Japan, and they showed their popularity by touring not only Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, but also Kyoto, Fukuoka, and Gunma. The highlights of the tour were the two Nippon Budokan performances. This work records the second day of the Budokan, which was also the final day of the entire tour. This work, which is vacuum-packed from the final day of the historic tour, is a shocking first-time sound source. This show itself is famous for the recording of the people involved, which is also known as “ROCKS TOKYO,” but this work is a completely different recording. It is the original master by the same recorder as KISS’s “BUDOKAN 1977 2ND NIGHT.” And the sound is also superb. It cannot be denied that it is farther away than the KISS edition due to the position, but the freshness of the master is the same. There is no dubbing mark or aging, and every corner of the warm sound is fresh. The performance sound is a bit dumpy (apparently it was a characteristic of the sound output at the scene, and it was the same even in the previous episode), but Steven Tyler’s vocals, which seem to cut through the middle of it, are very vivid. And what’s even more delicious is the realistic presence of being at the historic scene. The yellow squeals and the clapping that was in sync are “The 70’s Western music”. On the other hand, the essential AEROSMITH roars a wild and wild ensemble (more than in the revival period), and the space where the two collide with each other with tremendous tension is chaos that can only happen on the legendary first visit to Japan. The strange heat can be enjoyed in abundance in all songs, but the opening scene shows a particularly intense explosive power. While the opening BGM, such as the theme song of the movie “Jaws (the first one!)” and Bach, plays, the security guards warn, “Don’t stand up,” “Get down!”, “I’m going to do XX to you, you bastard!”, and the audience shouts. From the experience of that time, people rushed toward the front of the arena toward the stage as soon as the show started, and you can feel the terrifying atmosphere (perhaps because of this, security at KISS became stricter and standing up was prohibited). Of course, even in such a noisy atmosphere, once the show started, AEROSMITH’s performance sound did not give up even a millimeter of the lead role. Finally, let’s organize the contents of such a show. ・Birth of the Beast: Mama Kin/Dream On・Fly! Aerosmith: S.O.S. (Too Bad) / Lord Of The Thighs / Same Old Song And Dance (★) / Train Kept A Rollin’ Dark Night Heavy Rock: Big Ten Inch Record (★) / Sweet Emotion / Walk This Way / Toys In The Attic Rocks: Lick And A Promise (★) / Rats In The Cellar (★) / Last Child / Get The Lead Out (★) Anyway, it’s a shocking new discovery. They have visited Japan many times since their revival, but the mood and performance were completely different on their first visit. This is a treasured album that lets you experience that strange space with ultra-realistic sound. A masterpiece that would have been preserved forever if there had not been a famous recording by the people involved in history. An excellent audience recording of the “February 9, 1977: Nippon Budokan” performance. The original master is by the same recording artist as KISS’s “BUDOKAN 1977 2ND NIGHT (Zodiac 498)”. The master is superbly fresh, with no dubbing marks or aging, and every corner of the warm sound is fresh. The performance sound is a bit muddy due to the sound output, but Steven Tyler’s vocals, which seem to cut through the middle, are very vivid. This is a historical, newly excavated live album that is a must-listen for the strange mood of angry shouts flying around early on in the performance.
