Description
JUDAS PRIEST in 1981, who sent out the ambitious work “POINT OF ENTRY” and raised the gear of the invasion of the United States. A new masterpiece that allows you to experience the scene at its best is here. This work was recorded at the “Fresno performance on May 27, 1981”. It is a superb audience recording. Speaking of the “World Wide Blitz Tour” accompanying “POINT OF ENTRY”, the soundboard albums such as the masterpieces “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1981” and “DEFINITIVE BLITZ 1981” are famous. Let’s start by taking a bird’s-eye view of the position of this work from the overview of the activities at that time.・February 13th-March 8th: Europe #1 (20 performances)《POINT OF ENTRY released on February 27th》・May 1st-July 31st: North America (60 performances)←★Here★・November 6th-December 14th: Europe #2 (35 performances)←※Official London SBD This is JUDAS PRIEST in 1981. Although it was not as good as the next “World Vengeance Tour”, it was a sandwiched structure with two European tours sandwiched around a powerful US tour. The Fresno performance of this work is, of course, the North American leg. There are many masterpiece soundboards here, so let’s focus on the dates and look at the positional relationship. Details of the “North American” leg: May 1st-7th (6 performances) * May 8th “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1981” May 9th-25th (13 performances) * May 27th: Fresno performance ←★ This work ★ May 29th-July 21st (30 performances) * July 22nd “DEFINITIVE BLITZ 1981 (New York)” July 23rd-31st (8 performances) … and so on. The Fresno performance was a concert about three weeks after the sound board masterpiece “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1981”. This work, which conveys such a show, is truly a superb masterpiece. It is the newly excavated 1st Gene Master that was recently released, and the extremely thick core with zero distance sense is approaching in front of you, the details are super clear, and the sense of separation is amazing. Although the tone has a (slight) feel of the audience’s texture, when checking each element, it does not give way to the soundboard masterpieces mentioned above. Moreover, even though it is so powerful and direct, it has a sense of stability and beauty that does not frighten, and the cheers are strangely far away compared to the performance sound. Usually, the more you listen to it, the more the impact of the recording decreases, saying “I thought it was SBD at first…”, but this work is the opposite. The more you listen to it, the more doubts you have, “Is this really a customer record!?” Such a line-class super-thick sound depicts the full show of the “World Wide Blitz Tour”, which is burning with ambition to conquer the United States. All the long soundboards mentioned earlier were single pieces, but this work is a full recording from start to finish. It is a complete album of about 84 minutes that does not fit on one piece. Finally, let’s organize the set in comparison with the most recent soundboard masterpiece “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1981”. Golden Spectrum (4 songs) Solar Angels / Heading Out to the Highway / Desert Plains (★) / Hot Rockin’ Others (11 songs) British Steel: Breaking the Law / Grinder / You Don’t Have to Be Old to Be Wise / Living After Midnight 70’s: Diamonds & Rust / Hell Bent for Leather / Sinner / Beyond the Realms of Death / Victim of Changes / The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown) / Tyrant (★) *Note: ★ marks are songs that cannot be heard on the soundboard masterpiece “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1981”. Not only new songs such as “Solar Angels” and “Hot Rockin'”, but also “You Don’t Have to Be Old to Be Wise” and “Tyrant”, which will be sealed for more than 20 years after this, have a youthful feel, and Rob’s shouts, who was only 29 years old at the time, cut through them. This is a live album where you can experience such a full show of steel with the best sound of a barefoot soundboard. The superb audience recording of “Fresno performance on May 27, 1981”. The newly excavated 1st Gene Master has a very thick and beautiful sound. The core of zero distance is right in front of you, and the details are super clear. Although the tone has a (slight) feel of the customer record, checking each element is like a soundboard. You can experience the full show with plenty of delicious masterpieces unique to that time, such as “Solar Angels”, “Hot Rockin'”, and “You Don’t Have to Be Old to Be Wise”.
