Joe Lynn Turner,Glenn Hughes/Osaka,Japan 2000

A soulful singing duo: Joe Lynn Turner and Glenn Hughes. A superb live album recording their collaboration’s first visit to Japan is now available. This work includes “October 18, 2000: Umeda Heat Beat Performance”. The two came to Japan in 2002 and 2004 as part of the HUGHES TURNER PROJECT (hereinafter referred to as HTP), but this work was released in 2000, before the project was formed. It was a performance in Japan accompanying Joe’s solo album “HOLY MAN”, and Glenn Hughes was there as a special guest. First of all, let’s check the show’s position from the schedule of such a first collaboration visit to Japan. ・October 18th: Umeda Heat Beat　[This work] ・October 19th: Bottom Line ・October 21st: Shibuya On Air East ・October 21st: Shibuya On Air East [Excellent sound from a master of continuous masterpieces] Above are all 4 performances. The Osaka performance of this work is the first day. The two came to Japan for 16 performances in five years, but this work was the best of them all. This work, which recorded such a show, is a superb audience recording with a super quality. After all, this work was recorded by a veteran veteran. He is a person who made a series of famous recordings in Osaka from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, and our store offers a series of original collections by this recording artist. For example, RAINBOW’s masterpiece title “OSAKA 1995 1ST NIGHT” and Yngwie’s “OSAKA 2002″, as well as SYKES, BON JOVI, Richie Sambora, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, HALFORD, etc. Recently, DEF LEPPARD’s masterpiece “OSAKA 1999” has also received great acclaim. This work is the latest work in the series, and is a masterpiece that ranks among the highest in the Master Collection. In fact, the sound of this work is overwhelming. Evidence of the audience is also engraved in the sound of the snare, but on the other hand, there is almost no guest record-like feel other than that. An extremely thick core that doesn’t give you a sense of distance, and a undulating bass line that clearly shows even the slightest picking nuances. At the same time, you can feel the real closed room feeling of Umeda Heat Beat. It is a super-superlative recording that dispels even ordinary FM sound sources in a dimension where the distinction between recording methods no longer matters. [A storm of famous songs that cannot be heard on HTP’s official edition] And the show drawn with that quality is also amazing. Speaking of Joe & Glenn, the first thing that comes to mind is HTP’s “LIVE IN TOKYO”, but there are also a lot of famous songs that you can’t hear there. Of the 18 songs played that day, only 5 are the same. Let’s organize the set distribution here. ・RAINBOW (4 songs) *Songs that cannot be heard on the official edition: None ・DEEP PURPLE (5 songs) *Songs that cannot be heard on the official edition: All ・BLACK SABBATH (1 song) *Songs that cannot be heard on the official edition: None ・Joe’s Solo (7 songs) *Songs that can’t be heard on the official version: All ・Glenn’s solo (1 song) *Songs that can’t be heard on the official version: All…And so it goes like this. The only songs that overlap are RAINBOW and SABBATH’s “No Stranger To Love,” and everything else is different. What makes me especially happy is the DEEP PURPLE number. “Smoke On The Water,” which has been asking me “why?” ever since then, feels like it doesn’t matter, but everything else is delicious. In “Might Just Take Your Life” and “You Keep On Moving,” Joe plays the role of David Coverdale, and in “King Of Dreams,” which has a unique chorus and bass, “If the SLAVES & MASTERS era had twin vocals, The “what if” delusion becomes reality. And “Burn”. The singing is different from the original and is very fresh, with Glenn singing from the A melody and taking turns singing the different parts. It’s clear that Joe cares about Glenn, but that’s not all. Coverdale in the DEEP PURPLE era was not good at high notes, mainly “Cavadale = bass / Glenn = high notes”, but Joe can sing on the same line as Glenn, and of course Glenn can also do low notes. For example, in the guitar solo, the two sing a long song, and Joe sings the top line. While continuing the duet style of the 3rd and 4th seasons, you can already see the buds of HTP becoming even more diverse. This alone is enough to fill you up, but each person’s solos are also (surprisingly) delicious. Actually, this time was Joe’s first solo visit to Japan, and unlike the many RAINBOW-like projects that followed, the mass release of solo songs was refreshing. Moreover, Glenn’s chorus is also featured on songs such as “No Room For Love”, making it an almost HTP-like duet. [Exquisite acoustic session] This work also includes a delicious bonus. At an acoustic session held at a record store during their performance in Japan in 2000, they performed a total of three songs, including “Anything” and “Too Blue To Sing The Blues” by “HOLY MAN,” as well as “Stone Cold” by RAINBOW. I am. This is also the best sound by the same recording artist, and the simple two-acoustic guitar ensemble and Joe’s well-stretched singing voice are breathtakingly beautiful. Unfortunately, you can’t hear Glenn’s singing voice, but you can enjoy the true value of singer Joe Lynn Turner more carefully than the main electric set. Actually, HTP allows you to taste the flavor of RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE more directly than “SLAVES & MASTERS”. This work is a superb live album that conveys the first collaboration visit to Japan, which is the prototype. DEEP PURPLE’s famous songs revived by the two’s singing voices and solo numbers that are often overlooked.
