Description
The official video immediately after the release of Lifetime’s biggest hit “STILL GOT THE BLUES” has been revived in the highest quality ever! This work is a DVD version of the Japanese laser disc of the official video “AN EVENING OF THE BLUES” released in 1990 under the name “GARY MOORE WITH THE MIDNIGHT BLUES BAND”. The original European release was only on VHS, and the laserdisc was only released in Japan. Until now, we have converted many works from Japanese laser discs to DVD, and this work is no different. The like-new Japanese laser disc, which was treasured by a core Japanese collector, was entrusted to an overseas manufacturer and turned into a DVD in the highest quality using professional equipment. We have taken every possible measure to achieve the highest quality. In fact, the quality of this work is truly the best ever. As we have proven with the Japanese laser disc reprint series and have received patronage, you can fully enjoy the 38-year-old Gary Moore with picture and sound quality that does not have a moment of distortion or playback unevenness. . This work was recorded “May 10th and 11th 1990 Hammersmith Odeon performances”. Gary, who had just released “STILL GOT THE BLUES” in March of this year, started a tour with the big band “MIDNIGHT BLUES BAND”. This work is the 8th and 9th performance. Speaking of 1990, there is another official video “LIVE AT MONTREUX 1990”, but this work is about two months before that, and it is the earliest performance of Gary, who pushed through the blues path for 20 years until his later years. Gary’s early blues music still has a lot of rock tones. For example, the style of “All Your Love” is blues, but the beat and guitar are sharper than the later performance and are exactly rock. In addition, this work has interview comments inserted between songs (with Japanese subtitles), and even there the self-consciousness of a “rock musician” can be seen. For example, while talking about the freedom of the blues, he says, “Guitarists these days go to school and are taught rock, but this guy plays rock to get away from school,” while still thinking of himself as a “rock guy.” It makes me happy. Although this comment is a small one between songs, the content of each word is very deep and is an important point of this work. Guest performers Albert King and Albert Collins also spoke about the album, with A. Collins saying, “He’s a hot guy, a rock-blues guy. Gary mixes it well.” A. King said, “ I thought he was just a kid who was obsessed with the guitar blues, but once he started playing, he got better and better.I listened intently, too,” he says, praising Gary. Of course, it sounds like it’s just a social commentary, but on the other hand, you might think, “But that loud volume is no good. Don’t waste phrases on sounds that more people can listen to and enjoy. You can tell that he is serious when he says, “I have to make people think that.” Furthermore, there are many interesting comments for blues fans. Valuable testimony that will dazzle blues fans other than Gary, such as the first meeting of the two Alberts and what they think of each other, will pop out. Looking back on his career, A. Collins said, “Everything changed when I went to the West Coast in 1969. That was my encounter with rock music. Grand Funk Railroad, Three Dogs Night… I absorbed a lot from there and developed my own style. “I changed it,” he says. Speaking of A. Collins in 1969, it was a time when he met the Imperial label and began to make a comeback. There was a shadow of rock lurking behind the ferocious and ferocious sound that took the world by storm with their 1978 comeback album “ICE PICKIN’”…to hear it from the man himself. It is because of A. Collins and A. King, who evolved the blues by introducing funk, that he was able to accept Gary Moore’s blues so flexibly. Also, the co-starring of these two giants and Gary is also a highlight. With A. Collins, we did “Too Tired” and “Farther On Up The Road.” With A. King, we did “Stormy Monday,” and all three of us did “Caldonia.” “Stormy Monday” and “Caldonia” with A. King, which cannot be seen in “LIVE AT MONTREUX 1990”, are delicious, but what is overwhelmingly eye-catching is the battle with A. Collins. A. Collins, who is a direct descendant of Guitar Slim, the original distortion guitar, and Gary, who is at the forefront of distortion blues. A combination of old and new guitar heroes, both wild and famous. It’s a scene that will thrill the souls of guitar fans and blues fans, not just Gary fans. Regarding this work, Gary says, “(My approach to the blues) was certainly a concern that would alienate fans, but ironically it’s likely to become my best seller.” Perhaps because of A. King’s advice, “Don’t play too hard,” he began to pursue the blues even more deeply, and devoted his last 20 years of his life to the blues. This work is truly a crossroads in Gary’s musical life. And it is a live video full of joy of a 38-year-old Han who has found a new path. Why did he become interested in the blues? What is it that continues to live on even after leaving rock? This is the best version ever of the official video that will make you realize this.
