Description
The legendary Boston’s first visit to Japan in 1979. This is the world premiere live album of the amazing performance. This work was recorded by the recording artist who shocked the audience with QUEEN’s “NAGOYA 1975” and “BUDOKAN 1979 2ND NIGHT”. Despite both being world premieres, the high quality sound was amazing, but this is the third audience recording. The key to this is the wonderful sound, but the show is also extremely valuable. This work includes the “April 19, 1979: Nippon Budokan” performance. First, let’s look back on the legendary first visit to Japan “CHERRY BLOSSOM TOUR ’79” by schedule.・April 13: Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium・April 14: Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium・April 16: Kyuden Memorial Gymnasium・April 18: Nippon Budokan “THE HOTTEST BAND IN A GALAXY”・April 19: Nippon Budokan 【This work】・April 20: Nippon Budokan “FIRST ENCOUNTER” A total of 6 performances. Our shop has archived masterpieces such as “FIRST ENCOUNTER” and “THE HOTTEST BAND IN A GALAXY”, but that was the first and third days of Nippon Budokan. This work is a special audience album on the second day, which is different from both of them. Its quality is truly worthy of being called the highest peak and masterpiece. The already released masterpieces are also wonderful, and “THE HOTTEST BAND IN A GALAXY” in particular was a masterpiece that was praised as “one of the best of 1979” beyond the rarity value of Japanese performances. However, this work is a sound that updates the peak. The clarity is on par with “THE HOTTEST BAND IN A GALAXY”, but the direct feeling is astounding. The performance and singing voice are captured on, and it comes forward. Of course, it is not the type that you would call “like a sound board”, but it is astonishingly bright and the air is transparent for a recording of the Nippon Budokan in the 1970s. If the core of the musical sound is solid, the spacey sound is so delicate that the vibration waveform comes to mind. What’s even more amazing is the freshness. The sound unique to the original master handed over directly from the recording artist himself is beautiful and neat. There are no dubbing marks or deterioration over time, and there is no distortion or turbidity at all. It’s as if the 1979 Nippon Budokan and the 2017 speakers are directly connected by a pipe. It’s a reality that makes it seem like the dusty smell and cold air of the site are flowing out exactly as they are. The recording itself is wonderful, but the long tone that creaks and disappears is vivid until the moment when its edge is sucked into the octagonal space. It really feels like the “sound” produced in front of you is reaching your hands. Moreover, the scene depicted by that sound is the legendary first visit to Japan, so it’s irresistible. The set is a best selection of six songs from the great masterpieces “Fantasy Flight” and “DON’T LOOK BACK” mixed with unreleased songs “Help Me To Forget (Shattered Images)” and “Television Politician”. They will perform it with the band potential of the great masterpiece itself. Moreover, the production of a live album is also planned for this Japan visit, and the spirit overflows from every corner of the passionate performance. Such enthusiasm seeps out from each song, and the enthusiasm of the audience who witnessed it is also wonderful. The world of that exquisite album is really reproduced by five people… While being surprised by the exquisite ensemble, the sea of clapping that is integrated with the beautiful melody is spectacular. There are some scenes that are so vast that they almost surpass the performance, but the robust musical tones of this work do not allow it. Rather, the good rhythmic sense of the Japanese, who are even part of the rhythm section, combined with the spectacle of the spacey sound has been sublimated to a sense of scale. It creates a Boston space that is unique to Japan, unlike the noisy Western world. I still can’t believe that I haven’t been able to visit again for 35 years. The concert was so full of happiness that the space at the Nippon Budokan was filled with happiness. This is a masterpiece of a live album that depicts the scene with a wonderful sound that breaks the highest sound quality record to date. It is a superb newly excavated album that allows you to experience the legendary first visit to Japan live. A documentary recording that is intoxicated with beautiful and familiar masterpieces and surrounded by the joy of the first visit to Japan. Please enjoy the miraculous master sound that has been revived after 38 years. It is the best sound quality of the 1979 Japan performance.
