Hall & Oates/Tokyo,Japan 10.9.1980

About half a year after their legendary first visit to Japan, Hall & Oates returned to Japan in 1980 with the huge hit of “VOICES.” A new excavated original master that allows you to experience the scene at its best is now available. This work is inspired by the “October 9, 1980: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall” performance. It is the super best audience recording. The legendary first visit to Japan was in 1980, but this work is about his return to Japan. To get an idea of ​​the positional relationship, let’s take a look back at the schedule for the two visits to Japan.・February 1st + 2nd: Postal Savings Hall (2 performances) ・February 3rd: Shibuya Public Hall (2 daytime and nighttime performances) ・February 4th: Osaka Expo Commemoration Hall ・February 6th: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall – 6 months After: September 29th + 30th: Nakano Sunplaza (2 performances) October 1st: Shinjuku Tsubaki House October 3rd: Nagoya City Public Hall October 6th: Osaka Festival Hall October 7th: Shibuya Public Hall/October 9th: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall ←★Here★ A total of 13 performances, 6 performances + 7 performances. Their first visit to Japan came three months after the release of “X-STATIC,” but their second visit was during the “VOICES” era. This was my return visit two months after the album was released. Of the five concerts in Tokyo, which is also known as “Shinjuku Tsubaki House,” this concert was held at the Welfare Pension Hall on the last day. This work recorded at such a show is of the highest quality with “super”. Anyway, the core is extremely thick and strong, and the details are super clear. If you listen closely with headphones, you’ll notice that you can pick up a faint hall sound, but it doesn’t add anything to the distance, and it only adds to the delicious brilliance and dynamism. In fact, I’m listening to it while looking for evidence of audience recording for the explanatory text, but even so, I’m still only thinking, “The drum tone (partially) sounds a bit like a guest recording…maybe.” As you do this, you will be captivated by the richly colored melody, and before you know it, you will find yourself looking for evidence like an idiot…this is the type of superb recording. The biggest point is the recording artist who achieved that kind of sound. In fact, he is an incredible master. This is the same recording artist who released THE POLICE’s “BUDOKAN 1981” and WHITESNAKE’s “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT” which will be released at the same time this week, but it is a collection of masterpieces that will blow away FM broadcasts and compete head-on with the official live album. It is a monster taper that makes you want to call it “Japan’s Mike Millard”, and this work is also taken from that treasured collection. What is depicted with such a transcendent rich sound is a full show in Japan that is full of breakthroughs. Speaking of 1980, the most recent (exactly one week after this work) classic sound board “SYDNEY 1980” is also very popular at our store, so let’s organize the set while comparing. Modern Voices (7 songs) ・How Does It Feel to Be Back/Diddy Doo Wop (I Hear the Voices)/Hard to Be in Love with You (★)/Gotta Lotta Nerve (Perfect Perfect)/Kiss On My List/ You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’/United State (★) Other classics (9 songs)・Abundant Luncheonette: She’s Gone・Sara Smile・Rock’n Soul: Rich Girl/Back Together Again/Do What You Want, Be What You Are・Modern Pop: Wait For Me/Intravino・Others: Sacred Songs (Darryl Hall)/Sweet Soul Music (Arthur Conley) *Note: “★” marks are sounds from one week later A song that can’t be heard even on the board album “SYDNEY 1980”. …and it looks like this. The repertoire unique to that time, such as Darryl’s “Sacred Songs” and “X-STATIC”‘s “Intravino”, is also a highlight, but what determines the show is the large-scale performance of the new work “VOICES”, which accounts for about half of the show. Of course, the classics such as “Kiss On My List” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” have a wonderful momentum unique to the breakout era, and there are also a lot of delicious rare songs. “Gotta Lotta Nerve (Perfect Perfect)” and “United State” are also rare, but the hidden masterpiece “Hard to Be in Love with You” is the ultimate one. There is almost no mention of it on the set list at the time, let alone on the soundboard, and many people may know the fact that it was being played live for the first time in this work. After that, Hall & Oates conquered the entire era of the 1980s with hit after hit. This is a new excavation master that allows you to experience the best performance in Japan that marked the beginning of that golden age. A “World Heritage Site from Japan” that will shock world tree collectors. Superb audience recording of the “October 9, 1980: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall” performance. Recorded by the much-talked-about master taper, this is a masterpiece of the ultimate generation, digitized directly from the newly discovered Omoto cassette. The sound is extremely thick and powerful, and the details are extremely clear. The tone of the drums (partially) is a bit like a guest recording, and it is a monster-class recording that even has the elegance of an official work. In addition to the big hit “VOICES” number, you can also enjoy rare songs such as “Gotta Lotta Nerve (Perfect Perfect),” “United State,” and “Hard to Be in Love with You.” Live at Koseinenkin Kaikan, Tokyo, Japan 9th October 1980 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 (44:20) 1.
