Jimmy Page Jeff Beck Eric Clapton Jimmy Page/NY,USA 1983

The 1983 ARMS concert, which left its mark with the historic collaboration of the three great guitarists and was also the catalyst for Jimmy Page’s return to the scene. This work includes the “December 9, 1983 New York performance.” It is a multi-camera professional shot taken at the iconic large venue “Madison Square Garden.” After the successful two London performances, the ARMS concert was also held in the United States in the form of a tour. Here again, let’s check the position of this work from the schedule at that time. * September 20: Royal Albert Hall ← * Pro shot ・ September 21: Royal Albert Hall ・ November 28: Reunion Arena ・ November 29: Reunion Arena ・ December 1: Cow Palace * December 2: Cow Palace ← * Pro shot * December 3: Cow Palace ← * Pro shot ・ December 5: LA Forum ← * CD LOS ANGELES 1983 ・ December 6: LA Forum ・ December 8: Madison Square Garden * December 9: Madison Square Garden ← ★ This work ★ * Note: The “*” mark is the concert where the pro shot was left. 11 performances in the above five cities. The most famous of the four pro shots is the first day in the UK, which was also officially released, but this work is the opposite. It was the US edition that was toured on, and the final day of the entire schedule. This show is known for its leaked pro shots with vivid time counters, and this work was mastered by a core maniac overseas, extracting only Paige’s appearance scenes from the highest peak master. Not only has the image quality and sound quality been polished, but the scenes that have been cut so far have also been recorded to create a complete version (of Paige’s version). The finish is really wonderful. The biggest thing is “April Fool” played in the co-starring section. Until now, it had jumped from the ending of the previous song “With a Little Help From My Friends” to the final song “Goodnight Irene”, but in this work, it goes from the missing part to another superb recording. It also includes “April Fool”, which was cut in its entirety. Of course, the pro shot video of “April Fool” has not been found until now, so this work is supplemented with still images. The last “Goodnight Irene” has some pro shots, but the mania who compiled this work has recorded it as it is with “separate recording + still image” until the end of the performance (it’s a guess, but I guess he disliked the discomfort of switching between them). The final day, which was revived in this way, is full of highlights. “Boogie Mama,” “Midnight Moonlight,” “With a Little Help From My Friends,” and “April Fool,” which could not be seen in the Royal Albert Hall video, are also delicious, and the singing voice of Paul Rodgers, who participated in place of Steve Winwood in the UK edition, is also excellent. This collaboration led to the formation of THE FIRM, and the performance unfolds as if the two heroes were checking their response. “Stairway to Heaven,” which he played alone in London, has been upgraded with a solo turn with Clapton and Beck. And the collaboration set, which cannot be enjoyed even on the main press CD, is interesting in its difference from the UK edition. “With a Little Help From My Friends” sung by Joe Cocker, who only participated in the US edition. For Cocker, who was in a difficult situation at the time, you can witness him singing with the help of his friends just as the song title is. The US tour edition is a little different from the official UK edition. This is a professional shot of the final day of the Paige performance stage. This album evokes the image of the “other side” that would have been present on CD, and makes the live album even more delicious.
