Description
The strongest band’s strongest recording is now available in a complete version of ultimate quality. The “strongest band” is, of course, DLR BAD in 1986. The so-called “EAT ‘EM BAND” has a superb string team of Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan, and produced the rare masterpiece “EAT ‘EM AND SMILE”. And the “strongest version” is the best audience recording of the “Fresno performance on December 14, 1986”. This is a complete version that has been digitized directly from the original master! [Complete version of the representative recording treated as a soundboard] This Fresno recording is a long-standing classic. “SHYBOY IN FRESNO” has been well received as a famous recording that is said to be “first of all if you want to listen to EAT ‘EM BAND!” What’s great about it is the quality. At that time… No, even now, some collectors trade it as a soundboard, and its thick and meaty performance sound is exquisite. Of course, in fact, it is an audience recording, but the slight venue sound is clear and transparent, and there is no sense of distance. Although it also absorbs the enthusiasm of the peak of popularity, it is still a spectacular element. It feels like it spreads farther than a very thick performance / singing voice. Of the many EAT ‘EM BAND records, only this Fresno performance is treated as a soundboard. It is indeed the strongest recording, but there was also a big drawback. That is its shortness. Most of the previous releases were incomplete versions, and even “SHYBOY IN FRESNO”, which was considered to be of the highest quality, was a single piece of about 77 minutes. [Ultimate quality of master direct] However, this work is different. It is a complete album of the full show, while being recorded in the same way as the masterpieces so far. Moreover, it is not just a complete recording. This work was digitized directly from the original master cassette. It was not expanded with a patchwork of separate recordings, so it penetrates completely in one go with the super high quality sound. Moreover, the sound itself has been upgraded. The direct feeling that has been treated as a sound board until now is even more vivid, the details are even finer, and the sound is even more beautiful. The vibe of the scene that the master cassette absorbed is spit out of the speaker with the ultimate freshness. The original sound was superb as it was, but meticulous mastering was also carried out to aim for the ultimate peak freshness. While keeping the original neat sound, the stereo feeling that was biased to the right was adjusted and changed to be even more vivid. The distortion of the peaks in several places was also beautifully corrected. As a result, the sound of the guitar solo and the battle with the bass was realized with super clearness to each note. [The ultimate rock show of the strongest band] The show of the strongest band drawn with that quality… is amazing after all! The great heyday of the rare entertainer, Diamond Dave. The more popular the joker, the more amazing it is, but it is a groove that knows no ceiling. And above all, the strongest string team of Vai & Billy! Billy is engaged in technical battles with MR. BIG and others, but Vai is at a different level. Not only is he fast and skillful, but the strange phrases he created dance brilliantly. It is precisely because he is competing with Vai that Billy can pull off more spectacularly than any other band. Even Vai himself is amazing. Dave’s bold American HR is clearly a better fit for Vai than ALCATRAZZ or WHITESNAKE. Meeting Dave has synchronized humor and boldness, and his super unique phrases are sublimated into a sound that is inevitable rather than strange. Although you can’t expect the same level of perfection as a solo live where he controls everything, there is no band where Vai has shone brighter than EAT ‘EM BAND when it comes to singing bands. And the set drawn by the ensemble is also the best! The numbers from the great masterpiece “EAT ‘EM AND SMILE” are more powerful and the battle is increased, but the reborn early VAN HALEN repertoire is also amazing. It’s a really grand performance of 8 songs, all of which are super powerful string versions. Eddie’s memorable phrases became even more eccentric, and Billy, who had almost joined VAN HALEN, said, “I wanted to play like this!” The direction and volume were clearly aimed at updating the early VAN HALEN, in contrast to the original band, which changed its clothes leaving only a few representative songs. This work is also a live album that allows you to experience such a “continuation of the legend”. EAT ‘EM BAND took over the early VAN HALEN sound and aimed for further updates. And it was a super luxurious ensemble that Dave, Billy, and Vai never surpassed. This work is a complete version that revives the representative recording of the apex live with Master Direct. It is truly a rare and unparalleled super masterpiece live album. One of the most unparalleled peaks in rock history. Live at Selland Arena, Fresno, CA.
