Mountain/Tokyo,Japan 1973

A complete recording of the Tokyo Budokan performance on August 25, 1973, with a 77-minute ultra-high-quality audience recording from the original master cassette, which has never been distributed among traders. According to Taper, it was recorded in the front row of the second floor seats (the late Mr. Ichiro Fukuda was also seated in the same row), and it feels very real, making this one of the best live recordings at Budokan at the time. is. The ideal sound is as if the musical sounds are coming directly to you without any obstacles.The exquisite atmosphere and cheers that you can feel from the arena seat facing down are wonderful, and the sound has a sense of separation and thickness. Best. The Nantucket Sleigh Ride, which can be heard with this sound and has a passionate performance of nearly 26 minutes, is truly a masterpiece. It’s different from “perfect” according to modern recording standards, but what do you mean by “perfect” if you don’t describe the sound recorded at Budokan in 1973 as “perfect”? An ideal sound. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the best takes of audience recording of performances in Japan in the 1970s. There is no doubt that you will be overwhelmed by Leslie West’s playing, which has a tremendous presence and guitar sound. You can clearly hear every note of Felix Pappalardi’s powerful bass playing, and you can’t help but listen to the comfort of the band’s powerful ensemble. Anyway, there’s really no need for complicated explanations for something this good! Anyway, if you are interested in 70’s rock, please listen to the strongest live album that suddenly appeared in 2012 and captures this masterpiece from 39 years ago.
