Gary Moore/England,UK 1982 Upgrade

Gary Moore began pursuing hard rock in earnest with “CORRIDORS OF POWER” in 1982. A new excavation live album is now available that allows you to experience the scene at its best. What is inscribed in this work is “Newcastle performance on November 26, 1982”. This is a powerful audience recording. Speaking of the “CORRIDORS OF POWER” era, while the legendary first visit to Japan was realized, it was also a time when singers and keyboards changed rapidly. In order to understand the circumstances around that, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time and check the show’s position. 1982, August 24th-28th: ​​UK #1 (4 performances)《September “CORRIDORS OF POWER” released》《Iyer → Airey change/Hughne → Sloman change》・November 24th – December 19th: UK #2/West Germany (13 performances) ←★Here★ 1983, January 12-15: UK #3 (4 performances), January 22-February 1: First visit to Japan (9 performances)《 John Sloman leaves》・March 12: Lynott memorial performance (THIN LIZZY) ・March 16 + May 14-23: Europe (9 performances)《Don Airey → Neil Carter replaced》・May 31 Sun-July 19: North America (27 performances) [Production of “VICTIMS OF THE FUTURE” started in October] This is Gary Moore in 1982/1983. With the release of the album, allies Don Airey and John Sloman joined, completing the lineup for their first visit to Japan. The Newcastle performance of this work was the third concert of “UK #2”, whose new organization had just started. This show is also known for its famous recordings, but this work is a remaster of it. . . Well, no. Although it is the same recording, it is an upgraded version with a different generation from the conventional version. It is a DAT master copied from the 1st Gene cassette, but it was that “Krw_co” that was responsible for its discovery. It is a time-honored item that is suitable for use by prestigious excavators. In fact, its greatness is proven not by logic but by sound. Originally it was a recording with a strong core, but this work has even clearer and more vivid outlines and improved details. Although the cheers and performance are exactly the same as conventional recordings, it has a direct feeling as if the recording position was several meters in front. And even more than that is the condition of the tape itself. I didn’t notice it when I was listening to the conventional version without knowing anything about it, but when I listened to it more closely, there was some distortion due to deterioration, and the pitch had a slight fluctuation in the core. In that respect, this work is extremely stable. The playback feeling with no wakame feeling is extremely beautiful, and each grain of machine gun picking is fired with a sharpness, and you can clearly feel the nuances of hot vocals and crying chokes. What is depicted with such a fresh sound is a torrent of Gary-style hard rock that has suddenly become more heated with the new lineup. Speaking of this period, the symbol of this period is of course the official traditional edition “ROCKIN’ EVERY NIGHT”, so let’s organize the set while comparing. Great Ambition (7 songs) / End Of The World (★) / Wishing Well / Rockin’ Every Night / Cold Hearted (★) / I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow / Don’t Take Me For A Loser (★) / Gonna ‘ Break My Heart Again (★) Others (5 songs + α)・Back on the Streets: Hurricane (★) / Parisienne Walkways (★) / Back on the Streets・G-FORCE: White Knuckles/Rockin’ And Rollin ‘・Dirty Fingers: Nuclear Attack *Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard on the official traditional edition “ROCKIN’ EVERY NIGHT.” …and it looks like this. The full show with plenty of famous songs that can’t be heard on the official version is delicious, but what’s more important than that is the heat of the performance itself. There is no bad performance in Gary at this time, but it is still hot. Not only is the machine gun picking crisp, but each shot seems to be wrapped in flame. The combination of rapid fire, long tone, and crying choke is Gary’s true value, but it is also the opposite of sophistication. Waves of manic depression intersect violently, phrases that suddenly explode like a geyser create a strange tension, and Sloman and Gary’s crisp shouts are on top of this. It is a super hot show because it is right after the full-scale start and the new lineup is completed. “Gary style hard rock” will be completed by joining with partner Neil Carter, but even before that it is full of unique charm. A torrent of performance that was rumored to be called COLOSSEUM III. Rock that burns up with its momentum and heat… This is a new excavation master who can vividly experience the hard rock of Gary at this time. The scent of 80’s Britain scorched by the mysterious flame guitar. Powerful audience recording of “Newcastle performance on November 26, 1982″. The prestigious “Krw_co”. This is an upgraded master with a different generation from the previous version that was discovered by , and the recording with a strong core has become even clearer and more vivid, and the stability of the performance sound, which was a bit shaky, has been greatly improved. Although the cheers and performance are exactly the same as conventional recordings, it feels as if the recording position is a few meters in front of you. There are plenty of famous songs that can’t be heard on the official version of “ROCKIN’ EVERY NIGHT”, and you can experience a passionate full show where solos have just started in earnest.
