Def Leppard/Osaka, Japan 1999

The 1999 Japan tour was held with “EUPHORIA” in full swing. A live album that allows you to experience the scene with the best sound is now available. This work includes “September 27, 1999: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall.” This is the best audience recording. At our store, this tour has also been introduced in the masterpieces “TOKYO 1999” and “EUPHORIA IN FUKUOKA”. In addition to that, let’s first organize the collection according to the tour schedule at that time. ・September 24th: Nagoya Civic Center ・September 26th: Osaka Festival Hall ・September 27th: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall [This work] ・September 28th: ​​Zepp Fukuoka “EUPHORIA IN FUKUOKA” ・September 30th : Tokyo International Forum ・October 1st: Tokyo International Forum ・October 2nd: Tokyo International Forum “TOKYO 1999” ・October 4th: Pacifico Yokohama A total of 8 performances. DEF LEPPARD still enjoys strong popularity in Japan, and this is the largest number of performances in their history of visiting Japan, three times in a row in 1996, 1999, and 2002. 1999 was the peak period in the middle of that period. This work was a concert that was the third performance. The biggest point of this work, which recorded such a show, is the powerful yet beautiful sound. Anyway, it’s neat, glossy, and beautiful. The ultra-thick core flies straight into your hands, boasting a robust performance, while the slightly subtly accommodating venue acoustics create a beautiful sound that feels just like an official piece. Of course, it would be ruinous if the performance became cloudy or muddy, but there is no need to worry about that with this work. The edges that stand out amidst the beautiful sound are sharp, and the bass, which is difficult to capture in guest recordings, has a harsh attack sound and a vibe so delicate that you can see the waveforms of vibration. Of course, the bass is not overwhelming, and the overall balance is excellent. Although it does not have a bare feeling like a direct sound board, the total is a well-balanced and beautiful recording like an FM broadcast. There’s a reason why it has that kind of sound. In fact, the recording artist of this work is a person who produced a series of masterpieces in Osaka from the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century. Our store introduces many original recordings of this taper, and this work is the latest. The collection is amazing, such as BON JOVI’s masterpiece press title “OSAKA 2003 1ST NIGHT” and IRON MAIDEN’s “DEFINITIVE OSAKA 2004”, as well as Richie Sambora, RAINBOW, AC/DC, SYKES, Yngwie Malmsteen, THE BLACK. CROWES etc… He has left behind too many masterpieces and masterpieces from Osaka, all of which are world-class recordings. What is depicted with such a sound is a great performance from the “EUPHORIA” era, which returned to the classics. The set is gorgeous, centered around the super famous “HYSTERIA” number, but also filled with all the greatest songs of all time. Of course, the greatest hits show is their best, but this tour exudes the conviction that “this is DEF LEPPARD!” as if they had rediscovered the royal road. Among the new songs, not only “Paper Sun” and “Promises”, which have been played in recent years, but also “Demolition Man” and “Goodbye”, which were unique to that time, are right in the middle. Vivian Campbell is also completely familiar with it, and Rick Allen’s powerful beat, which has returned to the regular drum kit, is really comfortable. When we talk about “greatest hits” and “return to the royal road”, we tend to get nostalgic, but this work is different. New songs are being created one after another, and they are full of the fresh feeling of rediscovering themselves. It is a live album that allows you to experience 100% of such a show with the best sound. This tour is dominated by the most popular professional shot “TOKYO 1999”, but just one performance is not enough because it is a great show. I want to enjoy it from the audience’s perspective. This work is a masterpiece live album that meets that desire. Live at Koseinenkin Kaikan, Osaka, Japan 27th September 1999 PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1(56:20) 1. Intro 2.
