Nick Lowe/Tokyo,Japan 2019

Rock music expert Nick Lowe has come to Japan for the third consecutive year. The latest original recording that conveys the scene is now available. This work includes “August 14, 2019: Night Performance”. Like last year, this year’s Japanese performance was at the pace of “1 day x 2 performances” in Tokyo and Osaka, but this work is the “night of the 2nd day”. First of all, let’s check the show’s position on this visit to Japan.・August 13: Tokyo (evening performance) ・August 13: Tokyo (evening performance) ・August 14: Tokyo (evening performance) ・August 14: Tokyo (evening performance) ←★Here★・8 August 15th: Osaka (evening performance) August 15th: Osaka (evening performance) A total of 6 performances. This work was also the last stage of the four Tokyo performances. This work, which records such a show, is a truly profound masterpiece audience recording. What’s most wonderful is the sense of privacy that you get from being close to Nick, and the reality of seeing him in person. The venue is a club-sized venue with a capacity of about 300 people, and the sense of scale is evident in the sound, and you can feel Nick with a guitar right there. There is no doubt that it is an audience recording where you can feel a slight ringing in the singing voice, but it creates a feeling of a closed room rather than a sense of distance. When you attend a live performance, you feel that the real thing is there, and that feeling flows out from the speakers. Moreover, it stands out precisely because of the simple guitar playing. If the picking nuances of the guitar are delicate, the power of the cutting can be clearly heard, and the singing voice can even feel the rich expressiveness of the intonation contained in each word of the lyrics. Because it is simple, the sounds do not mix with each other, giving it a beauty that seems to fall on a beautiful melody. Speaking of Nick’s shows, not only the performance but also the humor of the MC is fun, but he also accurately depicts the mood of the scene with a sense of familiarity. Such a sound depicts the famous songs that Nick has left behind over his long career. Let’s organize this wide collection of famous songs here. ●LABOUR OF LUST (2 songs)・Without Love, Cruel to Be Kind●AT MY AGE (2 songs)・People Change, Long Limbed Girl●THE OLD MAGIC (3 songs)・Stoplight Roses, Somebody Cares for Me, House for Sale ●TOKYO BAY / CRYING INSIDE (2 songs)・Tokyo Bay, Heartbreaker ●LOVE STARVATION / TROMBONE (3 songs)・Love Starvation, Blue on Blue, Trombone ●Others (11 songs)・Peace, Love and Understanding (THE NEW FAVOURITES OF), Heart (NICK THE KNIFE), Ragin’ Eyes (THE ABOMINABLE SHOWMAN), I Knew The Bride (THE ROSE OF ENGLAND), What’s Shakin’ on the Hill (PARTY OF ONE), I Live on a Battlefield (THE IMPOSSIBLE) BIRD), Lay It On Me Baby (new song), On A Far Celestial Shore (song provided by Mavis Staples), Alison (Elvis Costello), and so on. The first thing to consider is space. There are some albums that play several songs, but only about two songs, and only “THE OLD MAGIC” has a slightly larger selection of three songs. Moreover, about half of the shows are selected from different periods, giving an even bird’s-eye view of the career. Of course, some of them include early songs from the BRINSLEY SCHWARZ era such as “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding” and “Cruel to Be Kind,” as well as comparative songs such as “AT MY AGE” and “TOKYO BAY.” Plenty of recent repertoire. They will be performing all the songs from their EP “LOVE STARVATION / TROMBONE” released this year except “Raincoat in the River,” and they will even sing the new song “Lay It On Me Baby,” which they just wrote. They will also perform classic songs such as “On A Far Celestial Shore”, which he wrote for Mavis Staples, and “Alison” by Elvis Costello, which Nick produced. It is truly a show that is the culmination of a career. Famous songs and deep singing voices that have colored rock history. This is a masterpiece of a live album that allows you to enjoy it with a sound full of private feeling. A musical treasure chest packed with wonderful melodies in just 80 minutes.
