Description
Jimmy Page stood on the stage in Japan for the first time in 21 years since 1972. Excavated footage that allows you to witness such a monumental show has been decided to be released. This work contains the performance “December 14, 1993: Nippon Budokan”. Yes, it is an audience shot of the legendary project, COVERDALE/PAGE. Speaking of COVERDALE/PAGE footage, we have delivered the classic Osaka “OSAKA 1993 1ST NIGHT” and the final day “NAGOYA 1993 THE VIDEO”, but of course this work is a different video of a different show. First of all, let’s check the position of the show from the tour schedule at that time.・December 14th: Nippon Budokan 【This work】・December 15th: Nippon Budokan・December 17th: National Yoyogi Stadium・December 18th: National Yoyogi Stadium・December 20th: Osaka Castle Hall “OSAKA 1993 1ST NIGHT”・December 21st: Osaka Castle Hall・December 22nd: Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium “NAGOYA 1993 THE VIDEO” All 7 performances. This was the entire live performance of COVERDALE/PAGE worldwide, but the Nippon Budokan in this work is the first one. It was the world premiere and for Page, it was his first performance in Japan since ZEP. This work, which contains a show that will be a monument, is a shot of the audience that is full of excitement. It was shot from a position looking down from the stand seats on the right side of the stage. To be honest, it cannot be compared to the Osaka shot, which is a masterpiece video, and the shadow of the front row enters, and the camera sometimes shakes to avoid it. However, even if it is not the apex, it is a good video that can follow the highlights firmly and witness the appearance of Coverdale & Page. What is particularly wonderful is the freshness of the master that was excavated in recent years. It seems that it is not direct from the original master, but still, Gene is young, there is no white line noise or tape twist, and the color is beautiful. It is a perfect image beauty to experience the scene beyond the space-time of 25 years. And the sound. Although this is not the apex quality, it is not a kind of explosion or roar (at all!). The core that reaches straight without being muddy in the venue sound is strong and has a lot of response. Not only the fine phrases of the guitar, but also the vocals and Coverdale’s specialty breath can be enjoyed firmly. The show drawn with such quality is wonderful. After all, there is a feeling of being a little scared because it is a world premiere, but it is also a fresh feeling of first meeting. What kind of ZEP sung by Coverdale and the white snake song played by Page are they, and will they play DEEP PURPLE … (I won’t play it). While bathing in such expectations and curiosity, the show responds to them with a live performance. If the performance itself is full of premieres that will never be repeated, the enthusiasm of the audience that “the moving Paige is right in front of you!” is also real. It is a video that can be seen at the scene of a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Nagoya on the final day, Osaka of the masterpiece, and this work on the first day. This work alone is a valuable video work, but if you combine it with “OSAKA 1993 1ST NIGHT” and “NAGOYA 1993 THE VIDEO”, it will be a video trilogy that allows you to witness the early, middle and late periods at the scene. COVERDALE/PAGE embodied the dream of rock and had Paige write a new song in the ZEP style. Now that a quarter century has passed, we would like you to look back on this video experience again.
