Queen/Canada 1978 Upgrade

A brush-up of the masterpiece recordings from the North American leg of the “JAZZ TOUR.” What is recorded in the masterpiece recording is “December 14, 1978 Vancouver performance”. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of “JAZZ TOUR”, it is also the tour that gave birth to the traditional official edition “LIVE KILLERS”, but that is the European leg in 1979. This work is a masterpiece recording representing the previous North American leg. Let’s look back at the schedule at that time to get an idea of ​​the positional relationship in that area. ●1978・October 28-November 9: North America A (8 performances)《“JAZZ” released on November 10》》・November 10-December 20: North America B (27 performances)←★Here ★ ●1979, January 17th – March 1st: Europe (28 performances), April 13th – May 6th: Japan (15 performances) [“LIVE KILLERS” released on June 22nd], August 18th: SAARBRUCKEN OPEN AIR appearance This is an overview of “JAZZ TOUR 1978-1979”. I separated the North American leg based on the release date of “JAZZ,” but it’s basically one continuation. This work was the 23rd concert of “North America B”, the second half of the show. The appearance of a recording that recorded such a show was truly shocking. A new master was discovered in 2006, nearly 30 years later, and its incredibly intense sound took the world by storm. The most amazing thing is the clarity. It’s a powerful sound with a thick and powerful core, but its outline is very vivid. Although it absorbs the venue’s acoustics, it just rises like an invisible aura from a straight core, without clouding the details or edges. Speaking of this “North American b”, Montreal recording and Chicago recording have reigned as the top two for a long time (you can enjoy it with “DEFINITIVE MONTREAL 1978” and “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1978″), but it has entered the middle and suddenly ” I have climbed to the top 3 major recordings. Since it was such a shocking discovery, our store also released it as a press 2CD “CANADIAN ASSAULT”. Of course, it was sold out and out of print while it was extremely popular. This work is also a shocking master. It is a definitive edition that has been polished with the latest and meticulous remastering and maximizes the possibilities of recording. The point is “Nuke”. Speaking of the taste of this recording, the direct feeling and strength of the sound board. However, the ringing stopped just one step away, and I couldn’t reach the exhilarating feeling that broke through. Therefore, in this work, the sounds are organized for each range. The atmosphere was made even more transparent, and the vividness of the core and details that were originally recorded were clearly felt. The effect is tremendous. Even though it’s not increasing the sound pressure, the core is more dignified and tight, and the edges are really sharp. We achieved a brilliant sound that even felt metallic luster in the reverberation of the cymbals. The sound depicts QUEEN’s passionate performance as she rushes straight towards her heyday. The basic set is based on “LIVE KILLERS”, but you can also enjoy the four songs that were deleted from the official work, “Somebody To Love”, “If You Can’t Beat Them”, “It’s Late”, and “Fat Bottomed Girls”. , and the natural flow of the concert, which is freed from the framework of four analog sides, is also exquisite. There is a cut due to a tape change from the guitar solo to the jam in the middle of the show, but other than that, the sound is strangely stable, and the abnormally high sound quality continues from beginning to end. The full show could be enjoyed in the aforementioned Montreal recording and Chicago recording, but in this work you can also meet Freddie, who is even more into the groove. Although there are some songs that make my voice feel tired because it’s the final stage of the North American leg, the tension is amazing. In fact, this work honestly absorbs the excitement of the scene, and the enthusiasm is amazing. Of course, it does not interfere with the powerful performance sounds and singing voices, but the temperature and breadth of the enthusiasm, from the nearby audience to the cheering far and wide, is extraordinary. Because each grain is clear, you can feel the sense of perspective clearly, and this creates a sense of scale of the “Pacific Coliseum” where more than 15,000 people gathered. The reality of the audience screaming with all their might during “Now I’m Here”… It is a live album that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the hot venue that only a band on the rise can bring. Following “DEFINITIVE MONTREAL 1978” and “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1978”, which were reborn as definitive editions, this is the last of the “three major recordings” left. The masterpiece group that will become “North American version of LIVE KILLERS” has been brushed up. You can collect all three, or start listening to this one. This is the birth of a masterpiece live album where you can enjoy QUEEN with the best sound as they gear up for the heyday of the 80’s.
