Motley Crue/TX,USA 1983 Upgrade

MOTLEY CRUE in 1983 made the existence of LA Metal known to the whole world at the “US Festival” and instantly became a symbol. Introducing a super-superb soundboard album that represents those early days. What is engraved in this work is “December 1, 1983 San Antonio Performance”. It is a transcendental stereo sound board recording. The point of this work is that the official quality is amazing, but even more than that is the amazing show that is unique to the early days. As mentioned above, 1983 was also the year of the “US Festival”, so let’s look back on its history here. 1983 – March 26th – April 3rd: North America #1 (6 performances) – May 29th: US Festival appearance – September 3rd – 17th: North America #2 (3 performances)《September 26th “SHOUT AT THE DEVIL” released》 October 31st – December 16th: North America #3 (28 performances) ←★Here★ 1984 January 10th – March 24th: North America #4 (52 performances)・April 12th – June 15th: North America #5 (38 performances) ・August 18th – September 7th: Europe #1 (7 performances) ・October 15th – November 19th: Europe #2 (23 performances) This is MOTLEY CRUE from 1983/1984. There were several shows before and after the “US Festival,” but the full-fledged tour began after the release of “SHOUT AT THE DEVIL.” The San Antonio performance of this work was the 16th concert of “North America #3” at the beginning. This work recorded at such a show is a super vivid and superb stereo sound board. Even if you say “sound board” in one word, there are a wide variety of characteristics and quality, but the uniqueness of this work is what is called “direct connection to the mix table” and it is ranked as “super A grade”. Obviously, the mix for the on-site PA doesn’t care if howling occurs, and the loud cheers are strangely distant. At the beginning of the performance, the balance is so rough that the vocals, which had too much energy, became a little off. But it’s good. Although it is a rough mix in the general sense, this freshness is irresistible for sound board enthusiasts. Of course, the howling and balance are adjusted in the 1 minute range of the first song “Shout At The Devil”, and after that, the awesomeness of the fastball sound board with a strong pan stereo feeling is fully exposed. All kinds of sounds played by the four of them crawl into your brain, turning your skull into a stage. A sense of complete unity with the band, which is completely different from the concert experience in the audience seats. It is a piece that allows the audience to enjoy a synchronized feeling of a different dimension that cannot be experienced on the FM sound board or official version. The super-class direct sound depicts an unusual high-tension gig unique to the “SHOUT AT THE DEVIL” era. As mentioned above, speaking of 1983, “US Festival” is a symbol, but this work is incomparably bigger in volume. Let’s organize the sets while comparing them here. Splendid Passion (4 songs)・Take Me To The Top／Merry-Go-Round／Piece Of Your Action／Live Wire Shout At The Devil (9 songs + α)・In The Beginning (★)／Shout At The Devil／Bastard／Ten Seconds To Love(★)／Knock ‘Em Dead, Kid／Too Young To Fall In Love(★)／God Bless The Children Of The Beast(★)／Red Hot(★)／Looks That Kill／ Helter Skelter *Note: Songs marked with “★” were not heard at “US Festival”. …and it looks like this. It is a full show that is almost a “live performance version of SHOUT AT THE DEVIL”, with “Brilliant Passion” numbers placed at key points. In fact, all the songs except “Danger” are played, and “God Bless The Children Of The Beast” and “Red Hot”, which cannot be heard even in the official live work “LIVE: ENTERTAINMENT OR DEATH”, also pop out. In addition, there will be a large amount of repertoire up to this tour, such as “Take Me To The Top”, “Merry-Go-Round” and “Bastard”. Anyway, a transcendental sound board that hits your brain directly. This is a historic live album that vacuum-packs the intense full show of the early days with that quality. It is the same as the official masterpiece “SHOUT AT THE DEVIL”… No, it is the ultimate LA metal album that stands out in a far transcendent dimension. Why was metal able to become mainstream in the 1980s, and why was LA metal and MOTLEY CRUE at the center of it? This is a super masterpiece of the entire music genre “heavy metal” that speaks more eloquently than a thousand words.
