Clash/Tokyo,Japan 1.30.1982 Evening Show

THE CLASH’s legendary first visit to Japan, which only happened once in 1982. The original cassette of the prestigious “Kinney” that conveys the scene has been newly discovered. This work is the first of its kind. “January 30, 1982: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (Night Session)” This is a superb audience recording vacuum-packed from beginning to end of the performance. Speaking of their first visit to Japan, the TV/radio broadcast by a certain broadcasting association is also famous, but this work is a separate performance. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show.・January 24: Shibuya Public Hall ・January 25: Osaka Festival Hall ・January 27: Nakano Sun Plaza ・January 28: Nakano Sun Plaza ・January 29: Nakano Sun Plaza ・January 30: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (daytime part) ・January 30th: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (evening part) ←★This work★ ・February 1st: Nakano Sunplaza ←*TV/Radio broadcast ・February 2nd: Osaka Festival Hall – All 9 legendary performances. A large-scale schedule of 7 performances at 3 venues was planned for Tokyo, with 2 performances per day held at the Shinjuku Kosei Pension Hall on January 30th. This work is a live album recorded during the “night section” of the album. This work, which is a vacuum-packed version of such a show, is truly a work that lives up to the name of the prestigious “Kinney”. There is no doubt that this is an audience recording that exudes the enthusiasm unique to a first visit to Japan, but the core that runs through that space is powerful and neat all the way. Although it feels like a guest record, such as the sound of the snare, the atmosphere is crystal clear and the details are clear. Everything is vivid, but what is especially surprising is the base. In audience recordings at that time, the bass tends to be either spoiled or cracked, but this work is neither. The rough attack sound has a clear outline, and even when it undulates, there is no distortion or cloudiness in the slightest. Even the waveform of the vibe is visible and vivid, and it reaches your ears straight. I can’t help but listen to it microscopically, trying to express the sound, but perhaps the greatest flavor of this work is its overall “heatness.” In fact, the sound of the performance is extremely beautiful, but the applause at the scene that ignites it is raw and passionate. Please make no mistake here: this is not a recording that is bothered by strange voices or screams (at all!). However, the gaps in the ensemble are filled with enthusiastic applause and applause, giving the impression of an extremely wide scale. Because every single beat of applause is clear and vivid, even the vast applause is not clumsy and becomes a spectacle… Because it is a Kinney recording, it is a real and clear beautiful recording with the dynamism that comes out of the speakers because it is the first time he came to Japan. . What is depicted with such a sound is a show that is the culmination of the Golden Age. Speaking of their live shows, there are official works such as “FROM HERE TO ETERNITY: LIVE” and “LIVE AT SHEA STADIUM”, but both are compilations of one CD. On the other hand, this work is a full-show recording at once, and there are plenty of numbers that cannot be heard in the official work. Let’s compare and organize them here. White Riot (9 songs)・Original: Janie Jones/Garageland (★)/London’s Burning/Career Opportunities/White Riot (★)・Pearl Harbor ’79: (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais/I Fought the Law/Clash City Rockers／Complete Control Turmoil (3 songs)・Safe European Home (★)／Stay Free (★)／Tommy Gun London Calling (8 songs)・London Calling／The Guns of Brixton／Train in Vain / Spanish Bombs / Brand New Cadillac (★) / Koka Kola (★) / Clampdown / Jimmy Jazz (★) Sandinista! (7 songs) / One More Time (★) / The Magnificent Seven / Charlie Don’t Surf ( ★) / Ivan Meets G.I. Joe (★) / The Leader (★) / Somebody Got Murdered (★) / Police on My Back Other (3 songs) Singles: Armagideon Time / This Is Radio Clash (★) Combat Rock: Should I Stay or Should I Go *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official “FROM HERE TO ETERNITY: LIVE” or “LIVE AT SHEA STADIUM”. …and it looks like this. A repertoire of 30 songs was played out one after another, of which 13 can’t be heard on the official live album. Even in the Japan tour alone, the set is different every day, and “One More Time” and “Garageland” are numbers that are not played even in the simultaneously released sister work “NAKANO SUNPLAZA 1982 FINAL NIGHT”. Truly a legend. This is a masterpiece of a very fresh live album. There is no way to know about the creeping collapse or the fate of being the only one to come to Japan. It is simply a Western music document filled with THE CLASH, which is excited by an unknown country, and the Japanese atmosphere, which is filled with the joy of encountering new music. A rare great album that allows you to experience such a scene at its best with the beautiful sound of the famous Kinney.
