Deep Purple/NJ, USA 1988

Contains a master tape version of the New Jersey Giants Stadium performance on August 16, 1988, complete with high-quality audience recording. A 2-disc title with accurate corrections to the fast pitch and moderate remastering. You can enjoy the vivid microphone recording of Purple’s stage on this day, which became a hot topic as a special live event with a luxurious lineup with Guns N’ Roses and Aerosmith. There are some parts where the screams from the audience around the recorder are annoying, and the sound gives the impression of a reverberant sound that is typical of a large venue, but as expected, it was taken directly from the master tape, so the sound is fresh and has a powerful rhythm sound with a strong bottom. You can enjoy Richie’s good performance with a good solo in the background. Except for the deterioration point of the analog tape at the beginning of Dead Or Alive’s solo (Trk4 3:38) and at the 24th second of Smoke On The Water, you can enjoy this day’s live with a stable recording with a realistic sound image. . Because it was a special live show, it was a short set of 82 minutes, and there were few long ad-libs and plays between and during songs, but on the other hand, the straightforward and passionate performance with the large audience in mind was wonderful, and even in the compact arrangement, each person performed well. You can fully listen to their sharp performance, and it’s more rewarding to listen to than a normal live performance. Knockin’ At Your Back Door is an arrangement only available at this time that incorporates Space Truckin’ in the end part. Gillan’s vocals in Woman From Tokyo and Speed ​​King, which are played in the medley, are clearly visible in this sunburn and are very powerful. Instead of Black Night, I’m playing the re-recorded single Hush from that time, and I guess I forgot the lyrics in the middle, but it’s powerful, but the first half has a weird singing feel to it. The excitement at the last Smoke On The Water, which is typical of a large American venue, is tremendous, and you can enjoy playing with a sound image that you have never heard before. The only American performances this year were Baltimore (8/11) and this performance, so it is a valuable record. Introducing a 2-disc title that is a must-have for fans.
