Cinderella/Tokyo,Japan 8.15.1987

About a year has passed since their shocking debut. CINDERELLA came to Japan for the first time in 1987, riding on the momentum of their heyday. Here is a live album that lets you experience the scene. This work is recorded on “August 15, 1987: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall”. This is a masterpiece audience recording. Their first visit to Japan was also the peak of their popularity, with additional shows being added. First, let’s look back at the schedule and check the show’s position. August 5: Nagoya City Public Hall August 6: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall August 8: Gotanda Simple Insurance Hall August 10: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall August 11: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall August 12: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall August 13: Shibuya Public Hall (additional performance) August 15: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (additional performance) ←★This work★ All 8 performances. Although he came to Japan four times until 1991, 1987 was the first and the most recorded. Famous halls in various places were lined up, and Tokyo in particular was added again, and it reached three venues and six performances. The Shinjuku performance of this work was the final performance of such a tremor (by the way, the first visit to Japan is also famous for the TV broadcast pro shot, but the recording date is unknown. There is also a possibility of multiple venues). This work, which recorded such a show, is a truly magnificent and powerful audience recording … It is probably. I’m sorry to suddenly become weak-willed, but the more I listen to it, the less confident I become. It is a newly excavated master that has appeared recently, and it is released as a microphone recording, so it is probably a customer record. However, the performance sound that flows out is clear, vivid, and zero distance. The core is powerful, the tone has no sense of space, and every note of the base run is detailed. From the vivid cheers and clapping, is it an audience recording … Wait a minute? The TV broadcast also had strangely vivid cheers overdubbed. Is it the same sound board as the TV? No, the cheers and MCs are different… and the confusion deepens. Such an exquisite sound is drawn as a full show at the height of popularity. The aforementioned TV pro shot was cut due to the broadcast frame, but this work is a full recording from start to finish. Let’s organize it by comparing it here. NIGHT SONGS (9 songs) Once Around The Ride / Nothin’ for Nothin’ / In From The Outside / Night Songs / Push, Push / Back Home Again / Nobody’s Fool / Somebody Save Me / Shake Me Others (5 songs) LONG COLD WINTER: Fallin’ Apart At The Seams (★) / Gypsy Road (★) Others: Talk Is Cheap / Tokyo Blues Jam / Jumpin’ Jack Flash *Note: The “★” mark is a song that could not be heard on the TV broadcast pro shot “SHAKES JAPAN 1987”. …And so it is like this. The axis is of course “NIGHT SONGS”, and all 10 songs except “Hell On Wheels” are played. There are also new songs such as two songs from “LONG COLD WINTER” and “Talk Is Cheap” which will be included in “STILL CLIMBING”. Of course, the repertoire of the masterpiece “NIGHT SONGS” that was blown up by the stage tension is not bad, and the initial arrangement of the new songs is fresh. It is realistic for a soundboard recording, and super tight for an audience recording. This is a live album where you can experience the full show of “live performance version NIGHT SONGS” with such a famous sound. CINDERELLA appeared in the midst of the glamorous LA metal movement and led the era with a full-fledged blues taste. A masterpiece audience recording of the legendary first visit to Japan “August 15, 1987: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall”. Anyway, it’s a clear and vivid zero distance sound, the core is powerful, there is no sense of space in the tone, and every note of the bass run is clear. Their first visit to Japan is also famous for the TV broadcast pro shot, but it is a famous recording that is close to the sound board sound. Nine of the 10 songs on “NIGHT SONGS” are large-scale, and you can also enjoy “Fallin’ Apart At The Seams” and “Gypsy Road” from the 2nd album, which were cut on TV broadcasts.
