Glenn Hughes Glenn Hughes/Aichi,Japan 1994 DAT Master

Glenn Hughes made a comeback in 1994 with the masterpiece “FROM NOW ON…”. Here is an original recording that lets you experience the visit to Japan where he showed off his charm as a solo singer. This work is recorded on “May 23, 1994: Nagoya performance”. It is an audience recording that tells the whole story. Speaking of his first solo visit to Japan in 1994, the official live album “BURNING JAPAN LIVE” comes to mind first, but this work is a completely different performance. In order to understand the situation around there, let’s look back at the 1994 Japan schedule and check the show position. {February 23-28: Promo visit to Japan} May 21: Osaka Moda Hall May 23: Nagoya Volmline ←★This work★ May 24: Club Citta Kawasaki ←※Official BURNING JAPAN LIVE May 25: Club Citta Kawasaki ←※Official BURNING JAPAN LIVE This is Glenn’s visit to Japan in 1994. In February, he came to Japan for promotion, and three months later, he began a full-scale Japan tour. “BURNING JAPAN LIVE” was produced from the final two performances in Kawasaki, but the Nagoya performance of this work was the first day of the three consecutive performances just before that. This work recorded at such a show is a powerful audience with a strong core that is approaching. It is different from the close contact that you would mistake for a sound board, but the rushing force of the core that penetrates the space and jumps into your hands is amazing. The performance sound and vocals have a direct feeling that they hit you before the sound spreads and blurs. And because it is so straight, the details are vivid down to the smallest detail. To be honest, there are quite a few scenes that are too powerful and the midrange is about to distort, but even that depicts the small size of the club and the feeling of a closed room. Such a secret sound depicts a full show that perfectly embodies “the image of Glenn Hughes that Japan wants”. Here, let’s organize the set while comparing it with the official work “BURNING JAPAN LIVE”. 70’s: Deep Purple, Purple Flame: Burn, Storm Messenger: Lady Double Dealer/Stormbringer, Come Taste the Band: This Time Around/Owed to “G”/Gettin’ Tighter/You Keep On Moving 80’s: Project Fuse/Thrall: Muscle and Blood/Coast to Coast/I Got Your Number, Phenomena: Kiss of Fire (★) 90’s: Solo From Now On: The Liar/Walkin’ on the Water (★)/From Now On…/Lay My Body Down/Into the Void/Pickin’ Up the Pieces (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official live album “BURNING JAPAN LIVE”. …And so on. The show was incompletely recorded to fit on one CD, but this work is a consistent audience recording from start to finish. In “FROM NOW ON…”, you can enjoy precious masterpieces such as “Pickin’ Up the Pieces”, which was the signal for Glen’s revival, and FENOMENA’s “Kiss of Fire”. And the performance that spells out such a set is wonderful. When it comes to Glen’s solo, the balance between rock and funk has always been a topic of conversation, but in Japan, it is the rock side that is popular. In particular, the stylized hard rock of DEEP PURPLE origin has been sought after. And “FROM NOW ON…” is the crystallization of that. It is not just rock, but overflows with beautiful melodies and romanticism accompanied by the members of EUROPE. In later HTP and “SONGS IN THE KEY OF ROCK”, he gave us 70’s hard rock, but in terms of beautiful melodies, his first solo visit to Japan in 1994 was the pinnacle. Unlike DEEP PURPLE and HTP, Glenn sings alone, and unlike the recent “CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE” tour, there are plenty of new songs. This is a live album where you can experience his first solo visit to Japan, where you can fully enjoy “Glenn’s style of hard rock”. The most beautiful full show in his career. A powerful audience recording of the Nagoya performance on May 23, 1994, the day before the official “BURNING JAPAN LIVE”. It’s not a close-fitting feeling, but the core’s rushing power that penetrates the space and jumps into your hands is amazing. The performance sound and vocals have a direct feeling that hits you before the sound spreads and blurs. And because it’s so straight, the details are vivid down to the smallest detail. It also includes “Kiss of Fire”, “Walkin’ on the Water”, and “Pickin’ Up the Pieces”, which you can’t hear on “BURNING JAPAN LIVE”, so you can fully experience “Glenn’s style of beauty”.
