Bryan Ferry/Osaka,Japan 2019

Bryan Ferry performed in Japan for the first time in nine years since ROXY MUSIC in 2010, and for the first time in 17 years as a solo performer. The latest original recording is now available. This work includes the “March 11, 2019 Namba HATCH” performance. This is the best audience recording. This time, they will only have two performances in Japan, one in Osaka and one in Tokyo, and the live albums for both performances will be released at the same time. This work is the Osaka edition. Speaking of Ferry, not only did they release “BITTER-SWEET” last year, but it was decided that ROXY MUSIC will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, and they have announced a U.S. tour featuring the masterpiece “AVALON” starting in July. . It is receiving more attention than ever before. First of all, let’s check the position of the Japanese performance from the recent situation. ●2018 [“BITTER-SWEET” released on November 30th]・November 30th – December 22nd: Europe (17 performances)・2019・February 14th – March 7th: South Africa/Oceania (8 Performances)・March 11th + 13th: Japan (2 performances) ←★Here★《March 29th: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony》・May 20th – July 21st: Europe (17 performances)・July 30th – September 3rd: North America (18 performances) This is the schedule that has been announced since the release of “BITTER-SWEET”. In 2019, they will perform in the southern hemisphere and Japan, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony will be held at the end of this month. The Osaka performance of this work was the first concert in Japan in 17 years. This work that recorded such a show is truly the best audience recording. The person who made it was Mr. “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, who is well known at our store. Although he is a recording artist who makes a strong impression with his HR/HM masterpieces, he actually has a very wide scope of work. He has recorded a variety of famous recordings by Jackson Browne, Jeff Beck, Brian Setzer, CHIC & Nile Rodgers, etc. This work is a work that proves such breadth. It has a soft feel that is typical of ferries, but that is just the uniqueness of the sound. Since it is not a venue acoustic, the clarity and balance are excellent, and there is no sense of distance. And above all, the core that runs through the middle is extremely thick. The edges of the guitar stand out sharply, and the outlines of the violin and saxophone that fly around are clear. The skill that is rumored to have a “better sound than listening on site” is in full swing in this work, and it is a masterpiece recording that truly masters the beauty of sound. The show drawn with that sound is truly gorgeous. While covering both ROXY MUSIC and solo music, the focus is on the 70’s and 80’s. ROXY MUSIC is evenly selected from all albums, and the solos are limited to “LET’S STICK TOGETHER” to “BETE NOIRE”, with 4 songs being the representative work “BOYS AND GIRLS”. Only “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright” is a “FRANTIC” number, but it’s a cover of Bob Dylan from the 1960s, so it doesn’t feel out of place. It will show off the most delicious era that the audience desires with concentrated reduction. The performance that spells out such a set is also impregnable. The rhythm section of Gerry Meehan and Luke Ballen is unwavering as they have been supporting the band for many years, and Chris Spedding is on guitar. You can enjoy plenty of sexy tones and sharp phrases with the finest sound. And speaking of sex appeal, it’s the ferry. You can hear a mature singing voice in every song, but “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright” performed in the middle is especially exquisite. He sings earnestly with only the piano in the background, and in the highlight, he shows off the rich harp. The sad yet warm tone is simply beautiful and touches your heart. The mood of the venue that witnessed its splendor was also real. There was a momentary commotion in the hall, but then it became so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of a needle dropping. And when the performance ended, gentle applause filled the venue like rain in May… It is a live album that captures not only the singing voices and performances, but also the breathing of the audience with beautiful sounds. Anyway, it is a masterpiece of a live album that vacuum-packs a gorgeous show with the finest sound that masters the beauty. Singing voices full of sex appeal and flavor, mature performances, and a concentrated collection of famous songs. All of them are wonderful at the top, and this is a song that makes you want to pray for the masterpiece “AVALON” to come back to Japan on tour.
