Amazing… this is amazing! A new excavated recording that is shaking enthusiasts all over the world has arrived!! It is now available on 2 CDs with shocking superb sound! What is sealed in this work is “July 5, 1980 San Diego performance”. This is the first appearance audience recording. Anyway, at this very moment, enthusiasts all over the world are listening to this new sound source and are trembling with surprise. What is shocking is that a show that has never been recorded before suddenly pops up in its complete form, and the sound is also superb. In addition, the content of the show was interesting that could not be heard anywhere else…It was an incredible new discovery. In order to explain the contents, the position of the show is the most important. First, let’s take a look back at the panoramic view of “THE GAME Tour”, which was at its peak. 1980《“THE GAME” released on June 30》・June 30-July 14: North America #1 (14 performances) ←★Coco★・August 5-September 30: North America #2 ( 35 performances)《“FLASH GORDON” released on December 8th》 November 23rd – December 18th: Europe (17 performances) 1981 February 12th – 19th: Japan (6 performances) – February 28th Sunday – March 21: Latin America #1 (7 performances) September 25 – October 18: Latin America #2 (6 performances) [“GREATEST HITS” released on October 26] / November 24 +25 Sun: North America #3 (2 performances) ← *Official This is QUEEN in 1980/1981. The tour started on the day of the release of “THE GAME”, but this work is the 4th performance of “North America #1”, which is also the beginning. What flows out of this work is not only a show that you hear for the first time, but also a live album that updates the oldest record of “THE GAME Tour”. In fact, the show is too wonderful. In fact, it feels like the performance itself is still in development since it is only at the beginning of the tour, but that sense of trial and error is extremely rare. In order for you to experience this, let’s organize the set here. 70’s Classics – Keep Yourself Alive – Sheer Heart Attack: Killer Queen / Now I’m Here – A Night at the Opera: Death On Two Legs (★) / I’m In Love With My Car / You ‘re My Best Friend (★) / Love Of My Life / Bohemian Rhapsody / Splendid Race: Tie Your Mother Down / Dedicated to the World: We Will Rock You (2 types) / Get Down Make Love / Sheer Heart Attack / We Are The Champions・Jazz: Let Me Entertain You/Mustapha(★)・Others: Jailhouse Rock 80’s・The Game: Play The Game/Save Me/Need Your Loving Tonight(★)/Rock It (Prime Jive)(★) /Crazy Little Thing Called Love・Flash Gordon: Ming’s Theme (In the Court Of Ming The Merciless) (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official “QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL”. …and it looks like this. I made a comparison with “QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL” as a starting point, but that’s far from it. Not only the rare “Need Your Loving Tonight” and “Rock It (Prime Jive)” but also “Play The Game” are the oldest records. What’s even more surprising is “Ming’s Theme” from “FLASH GORDON.” It’s only played briefly (less than 30 seconds) as an intro to “You’re My Best Friend,” but the melody is played on a piano rather than a synth. The production of “FLASH GORDON” began as a dub with “THE GAME”, and you can feel that historical fact in the actual sound. The creativity unique to the very early days of such a tour can be felt from every part of the show. For example, “Killer Queen”. I played the piano intro as usual, but it broke just before the song started. The way they start singing after inviting a roar of excitement is thrilling. Also, I wrote earlier that the performance is still in development, but that is just a matter of arrangement, and things are already in good shape. Freddie’s throat is also in good condition, and although the new song “Save Me” is not the oldest since he has been playing it since “THE CRAZY Tour” late last year, he still sings it with plenty of emotion while searching for a live arrangement. Furthermore, even the call of “Now I’m Here” shows off the best condition. I was so shocked that I completely forgot to write about it, but the sound that tells me about my first experience with the show is amazing. It’s not a close feeling that can be mistaken for a sound board, but that’s not a drawback either. The atmosphere is clear and clear, and the core that runs through the center and the fine details are as vivid as laser beams dancing through dry ice. The freshness with no dubbing marks helps, and you can clearly feel not only the four-person ensemble but also the nuances contained in each word of Freddie’s lyrics. Even if it is not like a sound board, you can feel plenty of “beauty unique to the audience”. If you compare it to Japanese recording, it is a beautiful recording like the prestigious Kinney (of course, it is just an analogy). Even at this moment, the beautiful sound is intoxicating enthusiasts all over the world, but this work is further refined with the aim of “extreme”. Of course, I don’t do anything that would spoil the natural sound by recklessly gaining sound pressure. Check each range in detail and adjust the overall balance. I aimed for a well-balanced rugose in total. The easiest to understand is the high range. In this recording, the treble was recorded beautifully without any hiss, but at the same time it tended to be buried in the mid-bass. In this work, you can clearly feel such beautiful high tones. If you have the original sound from the internet, you will be surprised at how beautifully and clearly you can hear the extension of the high notes, such as the ringing of cymbals. 41 years have passed since this show. It always amazes me how new vintage recordings are unearthed, but this time the quality and content are on a different level from my usual excavations. It’s a high-quality sound that looks as if it’s been a classic for many years, and arrangements that I’ve never heard from the very early stages of the tour pop out one after another. This is a new treasure album that only enthusiasts can know. The best audience recording of “July 5, 1980 San Diego Performance”. This is the oldest sound source of THE GAME Tour that has never been recorded before, and the sound is also excellent. The core that pierces through the center of the clear, sunny atmosphere and the fine details are as vivid as laser beams. The freshness with no dubbing marks helps, and you can clearly feel the nuances contained in each word of the lyrics. “Play The Game”, “Need Your Loving Tonight”, and “Rock It (Prime Jive)” are also the oldest live performances, and “Ming’s Theme” played in the intro of “You’re My Best Friend” is also extremely rare. You can experience the best full show full of creativity because it is the very early stage of the tour. San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego, CA, USA 5th July 1980 PERFECT SOUND Disc 1 (59:49) 1.
