Motley Crue/Hiroshima,Japan 1994

While they made masterpieces, the John Corabi era MOTLEY CRUE has been tossed around by the times and has become a dark history. This is an original recording that allows you to experience the best of their only precious performance in Japan. This work is recorded at the “October 4, 1994: Hiroshima Postal Savings Hall” performance. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of the Corabi era MOTLEY CRUE, it has become a dark history more thoroughly than the Gary Cherone era VAN HALEN or the Blaze Bayley era IRON MAIDEN, and is rarely handled even in bootlegs. Normally, we would only introduce the dates of their performances in Japan, but this is a good opportunity to review the overall picture of their activities. 1994 {March 15th release of “MOTLEY CRUE”} June 9th – August 29th: North America (49 performances) * October 3rd: Osaka Castle Hall * October 4th: Hiroshima Postal Savings Hall ←★This work★ * October 5th: Fukuoka Sunpalace * October 7th: Urawa City Cultural Center * October 8th: Tokyo Bay NK Hall * October 10th: Sendai Sunplaza * October 11th Nippon Budokan ・ December 16th: West Hollywood performance 1995 January 30th: Pasadena performance * Note: “*” marks are the dates of the Japan tour. This is an overview of MOTLEY CRUE’s activities during the Corabi era. All of the live shows were 51 shows in North America and 7 shows in Japan. The Hiroshima performance in this work was the second concert of such a visit to Japan. This work, recorded at such a show, is truly a superb masterpiece. It has been digitized directly from the original DAT cassette, and its freshness is immense. Basically, it is a powerful sound with a very thick core that approaches, but there are no dubbing marks or deterioration over time, and even at the peak when the band is united, there is no chatter or distortion. Although it is clearly an audience recording in terms of tone, there is no sparse feeling in the dense response, and the separation feeling that does not mix even when the performances of the four people overlap is also wonderful. The sound is not “valuable because it is a Japanese performance”, but a world-class level that will please enthusiasts all over the world no matter where the performance is. It is a famous recording that can bear the heavy responsibility of “official substitute in the Corabi era”. Such a superb sound depicts the full show of the extremely valuable Corabi era. If the live performance of the mysterious work “MOTLEY CRUE” number is valuable, the classics dyed with Corabi’s voice are also valuable. Here, let’s organize the two separately. Classics (8 songs) Dr. Feelgood: Dr. Feelgood/Kickstart My Heart/Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) Others: Live Wire/Shout At The Devil/Home Sweet Home/Wild Side/Primal Scream John Corabi era (7 songs) Motley Crue: ‘Til Death Do Us Part/Power To The Music/Uncle Jack/Misunderstood/Loveshine/Hooligan’s Holiday Cover: Revolution… and so on. The Beatles cover “Revolution” is also played, but this was a limited repertoire only in 1994. The “MOTLEY CRUE” numbers, which are surprisingly lively, are also delicious, but it is the classics sung by Corabi that catch the ear. “DR. FEELGOOD” is a little thicker, and one killer song is selected from each album. It is also a show that redraws Motley of each era with Corabi. And this suits it strangely well. Of course, the difference between the famous songs in my memory is intense because his voice is completely different from Vince’s, but on the other hand, Corabi’s husky voice is a perfect match for the wildness of the songs themselves. Moreover, his singing brings out the rock and roll groove well. Well, the high-pitched “Kickstart My Heart” is a bit harsh, but on the other hand, “Home Sweet Home” has a bluesy and astringent flavor that gives it a new charm. If Corabi had been singing since his debut… This live album also makes me fantasize about that. Of course, this kind of nonsense can only be said because the Corabi era ended in a bubble. And it is a luxury that is only possible because a live album with the best sound remains. The “rare era that the official ignores” is the real strength of bootlegs. This work is the MOTLEY version of that Corabi era. In a sense, it is one of the most important Motley collections. A superb audience recording of the performance of “October 4, 1994: Hiroshima Postal Savings Hall” during the John Corabi era. The sound digitized directly from the original DAT boasts a powerful, extremely thick core, but there are no dubbing marks or deterioration over time, and even at the peak when the band is united, there is no chatter or distortion. The dense response is not sparse, and the sense of separation that does not mix even when the four performances overlap is also wonderful. This is a valuable “official substitute” that allows you to experience the full show with a mountain of classics dyed with Corabi’s voice.
