Blackmore’s Night/NY,USA 4.9.2020

BLACKMORE’S NIGHT is a hot topic for its private home live video. The second edition has been decided to be released. [Second edition of the highly popular 100% private video] This work was filmed on “April 9, 2020.” This is a performance at Richie’s home on Long Island. As those who experienced the previous work “LIVE IN MINSTREL HALL 2020” may know, Ritchie Blackmore is currently waiting at home due to restrictions on going out due to the new coronavirus. There, he performs with his beloved wife Candice Knight, and the performance is streamed online. This is the second shot following the first shot on March 28th. It is a home live that lasts about 1 hour. The videos that are full of special feeling are also the so-called YouTuber type. A style where you set up a fixed camera yourself and take pictures without a photographer. There is no special editing, and the conversations that take place between performances are filmed as is, uncut. But this is really good. In the first place, the performance was just the couple Richie and Candace, and the performance took place in a room at home. It is perfect for the ultimate sense of privacy. Moreover, even though it is at home, the sound is outstanding. A proper amp was prepared, and the vocals and flute were also mic’d, ensuring a good balance with the guitar. Although it has a handmade feel, the video and audio are extremely beautiful. [Evolved shooting and the highest peak master] Furthermore, this work is the highest peak version. It’s already being circulated all over the internet, but sometimes the left and right sides are reversed, like a mirror image, and the image quality is degraded… On that point, this work has the highest image quality, and there is no horizontal reversal. This is a direct DVD version of the best master. Furthermore, it is easier to watch than the previous edition “LIVE IN MINSTREL HALL 2020”. Last time it was a vertical screen that looked like it was taken with a smartphone, but this time it was horizontal. The monitor is not filled with black belts, and you can watch the two performers closely on the wide screen. What is depicted in such top-notch visual beauty is the ultimate private performance. The composition is BLACKMORE’S NIGHT, with covers and originals interwoven with various traditional styles, but only two songs are the same as the last time: “Fires At Midnight” and “The Times They Are A Changin’.” Let’s organize that repertoire here.・SHADOW OF THE MOON: The Clock Ticks On/Wish You Were Here ・FIRES AT MIDNIGHT: Fires At Midnight/The Times They Are A Changin’ ・GHOST OF A ROSE: Dandelion Wine ・SECRET VOYAGE: Peasant’s Promise/Gilded Cage/Toast to Tomorrow・Others: A Whiter Shade of Pale/1 instrumental song…and so it goes like this. The two-person ensemble with no backing is extremely primitive, and in addition to the songs mentioned above, famous songs and improvised phrases are also thrown around, giving it great freedom. Of course, that style has not changed since the rock era, but this work is at its peak. Before I knew it, a conversation turned into a song, and I was setting up my instrument while I was playing… Originally, it was a project where the “core” of Blackmore Music was transparent, but here, “there is only the core.” The beauty of the melody stands out precisely because the raw material is exposed, and the romanticism is dripping with richness. In fact, depending on the song, he may be playing out of tune, but it’s the unpretentious nature of the instrument that gives it such a relaxing feeling. BLACKMORE’S NIGHT always has a sense of privacy, but never before has there been such extreme footage. Is it such a luxury to live with my beloved wife who is also my musical partner? Being able to sit in that space and sing to them in front of them…an hour that can only be described as blissful.
