Bon Jovi/Tokyo,Japan 6.6.1993

Their 1993 Japan tour boasted the most performances in their history, and was Alec John Thatch’s last visit to Japan. The world’s first original master that conveys the scene is now available. What is recorded in this work is the “June 6, 1993: National Yoyogi Stadium (daytime section)” performance. This is an exquisite audience recording. BON JOVI has always been extremely popular since their first visit to Japan in 1984, but 1993 was their peak in terms of the number of performances. First, let’s look back at the schedule and check the show’s position. × June 2nd: Nippon Budokan (postponed) ・June 3rd + 4th: Nippon Budokan (2 performances) ・June 6th (daytime session): National Yoyogi Stadium ←★This work★ ・June 6th (Night session): National Yoyogi Stadium ・June 7th: National Yoyogi Stadium ・June 9th + 10th: Osaka Castle Hall (2 performances) ・June 12th: Hiroshima Sunplaza ・June 13th: Nagoya International Conference Center, June 16th: Green Dome Maebashi, June 17th: Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium, 11 performances in total. This work was the first performance of three consecutive performances at Yoyogi National Stadium. It is unusual for BON JOVI, who was already a big name in the world, to have a forced schedule of two performances a day, but this show is actually a rescheduled performance. Originally, the schedule was set for June 2nd: Nippon Budokan, but it was postponed because John was present at the birth of his first daughter Stephanie. It was inserted in the afternoon four days later. Until now, live albums that are said to be from “June 6th” have been distributed, but those are from the “night section”. This work is the world’s first live album of “Daytime Club”. This work that conveys such a show is so exquisite that it blows away its preciousness. The most amazing thing is the powerful and direct core. In fact, Yoyogi National Stadium is not a very suitable venue for recording, as snare sounds tend to give off a sense of distance and become sparse. However, this work has an extremely thick core that penetrates the atmosphere, and while boasting a glossy and undistorted sound, it approaches with a slamming power. Moreover, it is not only powerful but also super spectacular. In fact, the sound of the hall is picked up to some extent, but it’s more about the thickness and dynamism of coating the core than the sense of distance, and on top of that, John’s singing voice, with its clear details, comes out like a laser beam. It cuts through the middle. It is a great recording that is easy to listen to, yet has plenty of dynamism that can only be expected from a guest record. There is a reason why it is such a famous item. In fact, this work was produced by the same recording artist who worked on the recently released “BUDOKAN 1987 FINAL NIGHT,” which received great acclaim. Huey Lewis’ “KORAKUEN STADIUM 1987 1ST NIGHT” and CHICAGO’s “BUDOKAN 1993” were also created by this person, and furthermore, HEART’s masterpiece “TOKYO 1988 2ND NIGHT” was also produced at the same National Yoyogi Stadium as this work. ‘ is left behind. It is a live album where the craftsmanship shines. What is depicted with such dynamic sound is the scene of the “daytime club” that the world has never seen before. Speaking of “KEEP THE FAITH TOUR”, the official video “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI” reigns as a symbol, but the set of this work is quite different. Let’s compare and organize them here. Wild In the Streets (5 songs) / Wild In the Streets (★) / You Give Love A Bad Name (★) / I’d Die For You (★☆) / Wanted Dead Or Alive / Livin’ On A Prayer New Jersey (4 songs) / Born To Be My Baby (★) / Lay Your Hands On Me / Blood On Blood (★) / Bad Medicine Keep The Faith (4 songs) / I Believe (★) / Bed Of Roses (☆) / Keep The Faith / I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead Others (3 songs)・Blaze of Glory: Blood Money (★☆) / Blaze Of Glory・Cover: Shout (★: THE ISLEY BROTHERS) *Note: Songs marked with “★” were not heard in the official video “KEEP THE FAITH: AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI”. Also, songs marked with a ☆ were not performed in the evening session on the same day. …and it looks like this. Not only is it different from “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI,” but it is also quite different from the “night club” that has been known up until now. It would be great just to spin such a delicious set with the band potential at its peak, but the glorious atmosphere of the venue is also wonderful. In any case, the excitement of the audience packed into the Yoyogi National Stadium was a total spectacle. Of course, this work is not a recording that suffers from close voices, but the sense of perspective is amazing because every single grain of cheers from far away is clear. The waves of enthusiasm that wriggled from left to right in the large space were gigantic, and the large chorus singing a number of hit songs was also wide-ranging. What’s more, each and every voice sounded so Japanese, and the scenes at the scene came to mind vividly in an atmosphere that could not be found anywhere other than Japan. Of course, since BON JOVI loves Japan, that mood is directly connected to their passionate performance on stage. Even if the performance is not perfect in every detail, the full-throated momentum is wonderful, and the exhilaration of the soaring melody makes your skin crawl. Furthermore, it’s not just the performance, but even the moments between the songs that are full of joy. During the MC after “Wild In the Streets,” he repeated “Domo Arigato” and apologized for the rescheduled performance. However, his voice is filled with the joy of the birth of his beloved daughter, and it is a live album that exudes a sense of happiness from everything, from the shy and shy report to the confident singing that follows. Jon Bon Jovi sings freely and loudly as if savoring the happiness of life. This is a masterpiece of a live album where you can enjoy the spectacle and dynamism that can only be achieved with a superb audience recording, while the singing voice is clearly transmitted. I can’t believe that such a wonderful show has never been known until now… This is one of the first films to be released that will shake your entire body with great and deep emotion.
