Jeff Beck/Kanagawa,Japan 2009

This is the final part of “Kanto Collection 2009”, and a 2CD version of Jeff Beck’s trouble performance, which is unprecedented in the history of his visit to Japan, is now available. …I apologize for suddenly writing something that I don’t understand. Let me explain step by step. This work is an audience album containing the “February 11, 2009 Pacifico Yokohama” performance. The biggest point is the recording artist who recorded this work. Yes, this work is the latest release of the genius taper who shocked the industry with “that” masterpiece, Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck’s “LIVE TOGETHER (Tricone 095-100)”. “LIVE TOGETHER”, which suddenly appeared as a work by a completely unknown taper, has such a transcendent sound that it has been hailed as “indescribably ultra-high sound quality”, “the pinnacle of modern audience recording”, and “the ultimate form of audience recording”. ” and received rave reviews. Furthermore, even after that, recordings of Jeff and Clapton were released one after another from this genius taper’s collection, each time expanding the limits of audience recording and continuing to break common sense. In the same 2009 tour, Jeff Beck’s solo performances began to appear, starting with “TOKYO 2009 THIRD NIGHT”, and just last month, “TOKYO 2009 1ST NIGHT” and “TOKYO 2009 2ND NIGHT” were announced. We received great feedback, with comments such as “Have you recorded it elsewhere?” and “This time was also amazing…”. This is the latest work from such a genius collection. They have released a number of masterpieces from their 2009 tour, but let’s take a look at their collection and tour dates.・February 6: International Forum “TOKYO 2009 1ST NIGHT” ・February 7: International Forum “TOKYO 2009 2ND NIGHT” ・February 9: NHK Hall “TOKYO 2009 THIRD NIGHT” ・February 11: Pacifico Yokohama [This work]《February 12th to 19th: Performances in Aichi, Ishikawa, Fukuoka, and Osaka》・February 21st: Saitama Super Arena “LIVE TOGETHER” (with Clapton)・February 22nd: Saitama Super Arena “LIVE TOGETHER” (Competition with Clapton) In this way, including the collaboration with Clapton, there will be a total of 6 Kanto performances on this tour. The titles listed above are all created by the genius taper, and this work completes the genius taper’s “Kanto Collection.” Of course, just having the same taper doesn’t mean anything. This work is also an abnormally high-quality sound that does not yield even half a step to the super masterpieces so far. In the previous collections, we have done our best to express the transcendental sound, but this time too, the sound quality is beyond perfect. There are no more words left. Extension of the treble, tension of the midrange, richness of the bass, sound of the instrument, luster, clarity, thickness of the core, power, on-site sensation…I can list all the points I can think of, but it’s still “perfect” or “more than perfect.” ” is the only thing that comes out. However, it is not the same as the masterpieces that have come before. In the first place, the acoustics of Pacifico Yokohama are different from those of the International Forum on the first and second days and NHK Hall on the third day, so the tones are naturally different. Guitars running freely around the venue, which was harder and clearer like crystal glass… Even though I had listened to many live shows that had already been released at that time, and even though I had been exposed to many of the same Taper’s works, I had never experienced a sound world…how amazing. Furthermore, the special feature unique to this work is that you can listen to Jeff who is troubled by trouble. In the beginning, the fingers are sliding smoothly, but from “Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers”, bass noise starts to mix in with the guitar amp. A harsh noise that seems to scratch a beautiful tune. The noise gets even louder with the following “Behind The Veil”, and even though I manage to finish playing it, the live performance finally stops there. While the guitar tech desperately tries to repair it, Jeff manages to hold things together as an MC, but it takes time to repair it. An impromptu jam begins with Vinny Colaiuta’s quick-thinking drumming, Jeff messes with Tal Wilkenfield’s bass, and the two of them play solos on one bass… Yes, the “two-person haori bass” that became familiar at local performances and American tours was born at this time. Although we managed to complete the repair and return to normal set, the noise recurred. In “Stratus,” Jeff shakes his amp and angrily plays his guitar. In the end, he left the stage saying, “I come back when fixed. I can’t play this with this…this,” and Disc 1 disappeared. Exit. Up until this point, not only the jam, but also Jeff playing as if frustrated and struggling with equipment trouble, Tal’s worried expression, and the audience’s breathing is so realistic that you can almost see it. And yet, there are many phrases and jams that are played out from the fingers that move like a different creature from that expression. Even the subtleties, even the grains of noise, jump into your ears with ultra-clear sound. Disc 2 starts with “Angel (Footsteps)” where the show resumed. Previously, it was said that “the noise completely disappeared here,” but the transcendental sound of this work even depicts that there is still a slight noise from the phono. The noise eventually disappears, but Jeff and the band can’t seem to get back on track. It was around “Brush With The Blues” towards the end that things finally started to get better. At the end of the main set, Jeff apologizes to the audience for the trouble, and then there’s the encore, as if to vent his frustration…Everything that happened on that day at Pacifico Yokohama was experienced in unconventional high-quality sound. It can be done. The troubles so far are unprecedented in the history of Jeff Beck’s visit to Japan. And this work, which records the whole story, is also of super sound quality that will remain in the history of audience recording. Jeff’s struggling guitar, his struggle to break free, and the stunning, eye-opening tone he heard in the encore. Looking back, it wasn’t the best show by any means. But that’s exactly why there’s a drama-like emotion here. What’s more, it’s a 100% real documentary, so it’s not a shallow drama, it’s a real drama. A documentary recording that allows you to witness a never-before-seen scene, making it a transcendent work for the audience. And yet, since it’s a live performance, it’s a drama album where you can enjoy the excitement that comes only because the main character is Jeff. The quality, music, and incident make this a one-of-a-kind album. It will be delivered to your door this weekend.
