Bon Jovi/UK 8.22.1987

BON JOVI, once a mid-sized band, has conquered the world! This is a masterpiece recorded by the master craftsman Tapa! This work was recorded at “Donington Park on August 22, 1987.” This is a performance when he served as the lead-in for “MONSTERS OF ROCK 1987”. At the time, BON JOVI was in the midst of a huge breakout with “SLIPPERY WHEN WET.” Artist Power, smiled upon by the “goddess of success”, spread across the ocean to Europe, and was invited as a member of “MONSTERS OF ROCK”. They have toured the UK every year since their debut, and BON JOVI, who have openly declared that they want to be Bruce Springsteen, are neither British nor stateless; they are “THE U.S.A.” and “THE NEW JERSEY.” A rock band with a strong image. The fact that they were selected as the main event for the UK’s largest rock festival, which can be said to be one of the most prestigious in the world, was a major event that could be said to be proof that they had “won the world.” The person who recorded such a glorious stage that will go down in rock history was a man who loves HR/HM at a soul level. The sound goes beyond the dimension of “the best of the day” and is a stunning spatial recording that can be said to be “one of the masterpieces” of this era. Even though it was an outdoor festival, and 70,000 British and European people were going crazy, the band’s sound clearly came out. Although it cannot be said that it has a “soundboard-level direct feeling,” a more spectacular feeling is emitted from the speakers, and even for Mr. Crazy S., who has made many famous recordings, it is one of the best results. That’s what I’m doing. In addition, the sound and special moments full of the era that are suitable for the monument stage are also firmly recorded. For example, before “Runaway,” he said, “In early 1984, I had a chance to introduce myself to Gene from KISS. At that time, he said, ‘Do you know the song Runaway? That’s our song.’ The MC’s words like, “It’s crazy, aren’t they?” may be an anecdote that can only be said at that time. Even more intense are the encore songs “Travelin’ Band” and “(We’re) An American Band.” Paul Stanley from KISS, who was mentioned earlier, Bruce Dickinson from local heroes IRON MAIDEN, and even Dee Snyder from TWISTED SISTER appeared on stage as guests. They will perform together as if to celebrate BON JOVI, who has risen to become the darling of the era. This famous recording was born because the rare HR/HM taper “Crazy S.” and the world-conquering BON JOVI shared time and place. A documentary about BON JOVI, discovered by a Japanese, invading 70,000 British kids at the sacred site of Donnington. It’s the hottest live album ever, and it’s a two-disc set that’s so spectacular that it makes you think about rock history.
