Gary Moore/Aichi,Japan 10.8.1985

Gary Moore in 1985, who opened his eyes to Irish roots with the single “Out In The Fields” and the album “RUN FOR COVER”, entered the “second chapter of the HR route”. The legendary live album that allows you to experience the best of his performances in Japan is now reprinted. This work is recorded at the “October 8, 1985: Nagoya City Public Hall” performance. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of the “RUN FOR COVER Tour” visit to Japan, the spectacular video “OSAKA 1985” is also well known. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and organize the positions of both works. October 8: Nagoya City Public Hall ←★This work★ October 9 “OSAKA 1985” October 11: Kyoto Kaikan October 14: Nippon Budokan October 15: Akita Prefectural Civic Hall October 17: Sapporo Welfare Pension Hall All six performances. In terms of number of experiences, his first visit to Japan was No.1, but in 1985 he was No.1 in breadth. It was a vertical tour that extended his legs to Tohoku and Hokkaido, with a focus on Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. The Nagoya performance of this work was also the first day performance, which was the best of the show. This work recorded at such a show is a legendary recording. Anyway, the core is very thick and full of direct feeling. Although it is not mistaken for a sound board in terms of tone, the clarity and separation are mistaken. The vividness of the contours, the goodness of the sound, and the three-dimensional effect are also wonderful, and even if Gary’s machine gun picking is fired at a rapid pace, each shot stands out beautifully, and the crying vibrato is transmitted to the folds of emotion with a skin sensation. You can enjoy the crazy guitar to the fullest with a “sense in front of your eyes”. Furthermore, the freshness is overwhelming. After all, it was digitized directly from the cassette handed over from the recording artist’s main hospital, so there is no way there would be any dubbing marks. The first appearance was the dawning Power Gate’s “SO FAR AWAY”, which was a famous recording among famous recordings that triggered the launch of the label. Such a direct sound depicts a full show that combines the famous songs of the “first HR era” of the early Virgin label and the “RUN FOR COVER” repertoire that opened up new ground. Speaking of live performances after joining Neil Carter, the traditional album “WE WANT MOORE!” is the most famous. Let’s organize the sets while comparing them here. Run for Cover (6 songs)・Run For Cover (★)/Reach For The Sky (★)/Nothing To Lose (★)/Empty Rooms/Out In The Fields (★)/All Messed Up (★)Others (8 songs)・Great Ambition: Cold Hearted/End Of The World/Rockin’ Every Night (★)・Victims Of The Future: Murder In The Skies/Shapes Of Things/Victims Of The Future・Others: Back On The Streets/So Far Away*Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that cannot be heard on the traditional album “WE WANT MOORE!”. …And so on. The style of “RUN FOR COVER” is about half new songs and half past repertoire, and the past songs are a condensed version of “WE WANT MOORE!”. The classic “Parisian Walks” is not included, but it seems that this is not because it was not recorded, but because it was not performed on the day (because it was the first day of their visit to Japan?). And the precious number is “RUN FOR COVER”. In addition to the title song, “Reach For The Sky” and “Nothing To Lose” are also performed, which were only performed on this tour. You can enjoy the famous songs that you can’t expect from the official live album with the sound in front of you. I don’t know if there was an influence of Yngwie or Shrapnel, but unlike the hard “VICTIMS OF THE FUTURE”, the latter half of the HR era introduced contemporary sounds and Irish melodies. This is a live album where you can fully experience the passionate performance of the guitar crazy that stood at the entrance with the best sound. The best audience recording of the performance “October 8, 1985: Nagoya City Public Hall”. This is a legendary recording that once became the detonator for the launch of the Power Gate label, and the core is very thick and full of directness. The vividness of the contours, the goodness of the sound, and the three-dimensionality are wonderful, and it is a great recording that beautifully stands out even to each machine gun picking. This is a masterpiece live album that includes songs that were only performed on this tour, such as “Run For Cover,” “Reach For The Sky,” and “Nothing To Lose.” Live at Nagoya Civic Assembly Hall, Nagoya, Japan 8th October 1985 PERFECT SOUND (from Original Masters) Disc 1 (47:20) 1.
