Joan Jett/Tokyo,Japan 12.4.1982

Five years have passed since THE RUNAWAYS’ legendary performance in Japan, which caused a sensation in the archipelago, in 1982, when Joan Jett led THE BLACKHEARTS on her first solo visit to Japan. The masterpiece soundboard album will be released. What is recorded in this work is “October 4, 1982: NHK Hall Performance”. This is a stereo soundboard recording. Speaking of Joan at the time, her first album with THE BLACKHEARTS, “I LOVE ROCK ‘N ROLL,” was a huge hit, reaching number 2 in the United States. He also visited Japan as part of his career’s biggest world tour. First of all, let’s look back on the dates of our visit to Japan to remember those days. ・November 30th: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall ・December 1st: Expo Hall ・December 3rd: Kyoto Prefectural Labor Hall ・December 4th: NHK Hall　←★This work★　A total of 4 performances. The NHK Hall performance of this work will be on the last day. The next time they came to Japan was in 1992, so this was their “last Japan” concert for 10 years. This show is also known to have been broadcast on the radio by a certain public broadcasting station, and the FM soundboard has ruled the world as a symbol of THE BLACKHEARTS’ performance in Japan. This work is also a classic sound board. In fact, the quality of this work is worthy of being called a symbol. There is some shaking in the opening song “Bad Reputation” that seems to be due to tape deterioration, so I am not sure whether I can declare it as “the best in history!”, but it quickly recovers. By the time the next “(I’m Gonna) Run Away” begins, it becomes stable and clear, and the clarity is tremendous. After that, the wonderful sound that can be called “official grade” spreads to its fullest. With such a sound, a great performance that can be called THE BLACKHEARTS version of “LIVE IN JAPAN” is depicted. Joan has already toured the world with THE BLACKHEARTS, but Japan is a special country where she herself looks back on THE RUNAWAYS’ visit to Japan as “like a Beatles whirlwind.” What’s more, it’s a triumphant return with a huge hit that surpasses that of his old club, so there’s no way he won’t get excited. And the set that makes you burst with excitement is also special. Let’s organize the contents here. THE RUNAWAYS number (3 songs)・QUEENS OF NOISE; I Love Playing with Fire・WAITIN’ FOR THE NIGHT: Wait for Me・AND NOW… THE RUNAWAYS: Black Leather BAD REPUTATION (5 songs)・Bad Reputation/Wooly Bully /You Don’t Know What You’ve Got/Do You Wanna Touch Me?/Shout I LOVE ROCK ‘N ROLL (9 songs)/(I’m Gonna) Run Away/Bits And Pieces/Love Is Pain/Victim Of Circumstance/You’re too Possessive/Oh Woe Is Me/I Love Rock N’ Roll/Nag/Crimson And Clover and others・Star Star (THE ROLLING STONES cover…and this is what it looks like.THE RUNAWAYS self-cover The balance changes depending on how you count them, but in any case, the main work is the masterpiece “I LOVE ROCK ‘N ROLL”, all of the album’s 10 songs except “Be Straight” were performed, and the show was performed. The other half is filled with THE RUNAWAYS numbers, “BAD REPUTATION” repertoire, and the Stones’ cover “Star Star.”It is a concentrated best of his early solo work, and at the same time, “live version of I LOVE ROCK.” ‘N ROLL’. THE RUNAWAYS left a bond with Japan in the form of ‘LIVE IN JAPAN’.This work is the official stereo soundboard album of Joan Jett. Since Joan has not released any live albums since then, this work is the best of the “official replacements”. Although it does not feel like a complete work as some of the songs are not complete, it is a continuation of “LIVE IN JAPAN”. This is an album where you can enjoy the best soundboard.
