Gary Moore/London,UK 1982 2Days Upgrade

Gary Moore signed with the VIRGIN label and began his solo career in 1982. A newly discovered original cassette of the famous Kinney that recorded the legendary show that started it all. It is now available as a complete 2-disc set coupled with the previous day’s show. This work includes two performances “August 25 + 26, 1982: Marquee Club Performance”. This is a masterpiece audience recording. Speaking of the “CORRIDORS OF POWER” era, the legendary first visit to Japan leaves a strong impression, but this work is much earlier than that and the members are different. This is a good opportunity, so let’s take a look back at the process leading up to meeting my ally Neil Carter, and check out the position of this work. ●1982, August 24th-28th: ​​UK #1 (4 performances) ←★Here★《September “CORRIDORS OF POWER” released》《Iyer → Airey change/Hughne → Sloman change》・November 24th- December 19: UK #2/West Germany (13 performances) January 12-15, 1983: 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》・5 March 31st – July 19th: North America (27 performances) [Production of “VICTIMS OF THE FUTURE” begins in October] This is Gary in 1982/1983. Having signed a contract with the VIRGIN label, he formed a band with not only the rhythm section Ian Paice/Neil Murray, who were familiar from his first visit to Japan, but also Tommy Iyer on keyboards and Shirley Huynh as singer. I started live activities. The first goal was the “Reading Festival”, but that was the final performance of “UK #1” mentioned above. The Marquee Club performance of this work is a warm-up gig that was held before that, and is the 2nd + 3rd performance of “UK #1”. In other words, this was a very early concert, the second or third performance of a full-fledged solo career (by the way, the first day was at a different venue, and the marquee was the second consecutive performance). This work is an audience recording set that records the entirety of those two marquee performances. The first day (August 25th = Disc 1) is a well-known recording that has been loved at our store as “BACK ON THE WARDOUR STREET” and “WARM UP GIGS 1982 (part of)”. This is a representative sound source. And, the key to this work is the second day (August 26th = Disc 2), which is the original master of the newly discovered prestigious Kinney. The quality of this work is truly exquisite. First of all, “First Day (Disc 1)”, this is already super real. If you are familiar with the previous episodes, you will be familiar with this, but the feeling of being in a closed room at “Marquee Club” is on full display. It is overwhelmingly lively and direct while still giving the audience a vivid sense of presence. The extremely thick core flows directly into your ears, making every detail super clear. This is a truly traditional recording. Of course, this work was recorded with the best master of that famous recording. And the noteworthy “2nd day (disc 2)”. This is the new excavation master of the prestigious Kinney. “WARM UP GIGS 1982” also included the second day of the marquee, but it was an incomplete version without an encore. On the other hand, this work is a separate recording by a prestigious artist, and it is completely recorded up to the encore “Parisienne Walkways” and “Back On The Streets”. And the quality is also excellent. The clarity and vividness are comparable to the traditional recording on the first day. Perhaps due to the recording position, the direct feeling yields half a step on the first day, but this does not mean “far”, but rather “not too close”. The entire band/ensemble, which is hard and powerful, is recorded in a well-balanced manner, making it easy to listen to. Of course, the sharp edges and vividness of the outlines unique to Kinney recording are wonderful, and it is interesting that the keyboard is large due to the on-site mix. In “WARM UP GIGS 1982”, there was clearly a difference in quality between the first and second day, but in this work, both have excellent sound and you can enjoy the entire two days of the marquee. And, the show drawn with such a sound is a concentrated reduction of Gary’s initial HR number. The program will be the same on the first and second days, with the only difference being the order of some songs. Let’s sort it out here. ●BACK ON THE STREETS (2 songs)・Parisienne Walkways／Back On The Streets ●CORRIDORS OF POWER (6 songs)・End Of The World／Rockin’ Every Night／Wishing Well／Cold Heated／I Can’t Wait Until Tomorrow／ Don’t Take Me For A Loser ●Other・DIRTY FINGERS: Nuclear Attack・LIVE AT THE MARQUEE: Dallas Warhead・G-FORCE: White Knuckles/Rockin’ And Rollin’…And it goes like this. The composition is centered around the big hits from “CORRIDORS OF POWER”, and includes key numbers from various works from the MCA era. While being familiar with “ROCKIN’ EVERY NIGHT” on their first visit to Japan, they also performed plenty of “End Of The World,” “Cold Heated,” “Don’t Take Me For A Loser,” and “Dallas Warhead,” which I couldn’t hear there. Masu. Above all, the ensemble is as hot as it gets. It’s not like COLOSSEUM III is a fusion number like “Hurricane” which came to Japan for the first time, but it’s a lot of pushing and playing that seems to bring that enthusiasm into “hard rock”. It’s so crisp and sharp that you’ll think, “This is the second or third live performance?” The initial impulse is seeping out and spilling out. It’s understandable that Tommy Eyer’s cheap tone left with just “UK #1”, but Shirley Huynh’s is wilder than what was felt in “DIRTY FINGERS” and unexpectedly (excuse me!) powerful. Willie Dee, Kenny Driscoll, John Sloman… Various singers appeared in Gary’s early solos, but Shirley may have been the best. Gary Moore met the VIRGIN label that supported the 80’s and 90’s and began his solo career. It is truly a masterpiece of a live album where you can experience the start dash on-site. This masterpiece has even higher purity of hard rock than the first time they came to Japan, and you can enjoy two live shows that are driven by a strong initial impulse.
