Billy Joel / NY, USA 1982 Japanese Laser Disc Edition Upgrade Jewel Version

The official out-of-print video “LIVE FROM LONG ISLAND” was produced in the midst of its heyday, with a string of huge hits. The highest quality version in history has been decided to be released. “LIVE FROM LONG ISLAND” is a truly illusory masterpiece. It was a multi-camera pro shot taken at the “Uniondale performance on December 29, 1982”, which was one act of “THE NYLON CURTAIN Tour”, and it was also Billy’s first video work. It was the fate of the video popularization era that it went out of print in an instant, but for some reason it has not been made into an official DVD until now, and South American DVDs and CDs of the video drop have been distributed pretending to be official. This work is a DVD of such a classic and out-of-print video with the highest quality in history. The source is the Japanese laser disc released at that time. A mint quality copy that was treasured by a core collector in Japan was borrowed and entrusted to an overseas analog video specialist manufacturer to digitize it. Every effort was made from the source to the process, and the quality of the result is truly the best. First of all, LD has a different resolution than VHS, and its storage capacity cannot be compared to analog tape. Moreover, there is no physical playback unevenness that is unavoidable with tape, and there is no noise degradation. Of course, it is possible that the original master tape is sleeping in the official warehouse, but whether the magnetic tape can withstand the test of time of 40 years … Even if a miracle official DVD is realized in the future, the quality of this work may not be as good as that of this work. And, such a visual beauty of the highest peak in history is depicted in the early 1980s Naoyuki group and young passionate performance. Let’s organize the contents here. 70s (10 songs) ・Stranger: The Stranger/Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song)/Scenes from an Italian Restaurant/Just the Way You Are/Only the Good Die Young・52nd Street: My Life/Big Shot・Other: Piano Man/Souvenir/Prelude/Angry Young Man 80s (6 songs) ・Glass Houses: It’s Still Rock ‘n’ Roll to Me/Sometimes A Fantasy/You May Be Right・Nylon Curtain: Allentown/Scandinavian Skies/Pressure … and so on. Although “Until The Night”, which was broadcast in Japan at the time, is not included, this work has an overwhelming number of songs. It is truly “the best of the early days to see with your eyes”. Billy Joel in the early 80s, who was climbing the ladder to further success despite his motorcycle accident. This is the definitive edition that reproduces the official video that symbolizes that time with the highest quality ever.
