Jeff Beck/Osaka,Japan 6.3.1986

Finally, the first day of Osaka in 1986 is here! It’s also super high quality sound!! Some of you may be wondering, “What’s that all about all of a sudden?” Let me explain step by step. This work is an audience album containing the first day of “FLASH TOUR 1986” in Osaka. In the first place, “FLASH TOUR 1986” was only realized in Japan, and all 7 performances were all. Among them, the “June 1, 1986 Karuizawa Prince Hotel Performance” co-starring Jeff Beck, Santana, and Steve Lukather is famous as it was broadcast on radio and TV, but this work is based on the next live performance. “June 3rd Osaka Welfare Pension Hall” performance. To rearrange the schedule again… June 1st: Karuizawa Prince Hotel Outdoor Special Venue June 3rd: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall [This work] June 5th: Fukuoka Sun Palace Hall June 6th: Osaka Festival Hall 6 June 8th: Nagoya City Public Hall June 10th: Tokyo, Nippon Budokan June 11th: Tokyo, Nippon Budokan Recordings of most of the dates of this tour have been discovered, but until now there has been only one live performance on this day. There were no books either. This year, 29 years later, “June 3rd” has finally come out! It is a great achievement just to have discovered it, but the sound is of frighteningly high quality. This tour is full of high-quality sound that makes you wonder, “How did they record it?”, including the major songs “THANK THE LORD” and “WILD THING” (if you’ve ever listened to it) , you will realize that it is not an exaggeration), among such super masterpiece recordings, this work is not inferior. Of course, each audience recording has an extremely strong individuality, so it is not possible to easily determine its superiority or inferiority, but the uniqueness of this work lies in its intense clarity. The master is a cassette given to me by the recorder, so there is no doubt that this is an audience recording, but every instrument has a direct feel that makes you think it’s a soundboard, and the contours of each note are extremely vivid ( When I checked the ticket stub that was included with the master cassette, the recorder’s seat was “1st floor, row I, number 12.” As I was listening to it, I heard cheers between songs and remembered, “That’s right, it was recorded from the audience.” In particular, the vivid feel of the treble sounds is even amazing. A tapestry of expert phrases flying around with such high quality sound… it’s truly amazing! It is not only a valuable excavation & super sound. After all, “FLASH TOUR 1986” only had a Japan tour, so this work on the second day in Japan is also the second day worldwide. There is a lot of freshness in the performance and a lot of fumbling. Moreover, among all 7 performances, this work is special. Although the songs are similar to other performances, the order of the songs is radically different, and since it is the next live in Karuizawa, it feels like an “extended version of Karuizawa.” It’s refreshing to suddenly start with “Star Cycle”, but considering that “Star Cycle” has a long keyboard solo! In addition, “You Never Know” is played instead of “Led Boots”, and the intro is a keyboard (guitar on other days), and you can enjoy new tastes everywhere. There is a missing tape change at the beginning of “Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers” and “Freeway Jam,” but other than that it is completely recorded. Jimmy Hall’s vocals also sing passionately, and Jeff Beck is also doing quite well. You can listen to a really pleasant performance. If you recall, it was in 2010 that the unexcavated “June 11, 1986 Budokan” was discovered on the final day and caused a sensation as “THANK THE LORD”. Five years later, I never thought I’d be able to experience the same shock again. When things like this happen, I’m starting to wonder when the last remaining song “June 8th, Nagoya” will be discovered, and whether it was recorded at a listenable level in the first place, but only God knows. By the way. However, it is a certain reality that in 2015, 29 years later, a new tour major decision board appeared. For now, I just want to bask in this good fortune.
