Queen/England,UK 1982 2Source Mix

The miraculous concert “1982 Leeds” is said by Brian May to be “the best show” and is regarded as special by QUEEN enthusiasts around the world. The first “complete recording” in history, which has updated its longest length, is now available. What is infused into this work is “May 29, 1982 Elland Road performance”. It is a complete audience recording. The two main points of this work are “an absolutely legendary performance” and “the first complete performance in history.” What’s most special is the great performance recognized by Brian himself, so let’s start talking from there (if you know it from previous episodes, please skip to the second half). [Absolute super performance that Brian calls the show of a lifetime] For QUEEN fans, “1982” was a special year with various meanings. Their biggest hit, “HOT ​​SPACE,” caused controversy, leading to rumors of suspension of activities and disbandment. However, for sound source enthusiasts, it’s the complete opposite. It was also a year of great harvest, with a large number of incredibly exciting performances, and a large number of famous recordings of the scenes. The more the unfortunate image of general fans persists, the more I think there are many people who have thought to themselves, “That’s not true, though.” I think that image has eased considerably since the officialization of “QUEEN ON FIRE: LIVE AT THE BOWL”, but that show was not the pinnacle. As introduced at the beginning, it was the Leeds performance that Brian himself was truly satisfied with and burned into his memory. This work is a live album where you can enjoy the show that made you say, “I wanted to shoot in Leeds rather than Milton Keynes (of QUEEN ON FIRE)” with the highest quality sound. I proceeded with the discussion based on the premise of “QUEEN ON FIRE,” but if you don’t have an overview of “HOT SPACE TOUR” in mind, it might not make much sense to you. Let’s check the show’s position from the schedule at that time. 《HOT SPACE completed in March》 April 9th ​​- May 22nd: Europe (26 performances)《HOT SPACE released on May 21st》 May 29th – June 5th: UK (4 Performances) ←★Here★・July 21st – September 15th: North America (33 performances)・October 19th – November 3rd: Japan (6 performances) General fans didn’t even pay attention to the above, and there were many enthusiasts. A complete picture of my beloved 1982 tour. However, the most miraculous part of the “HOT SPACE Tour” was the “Europe” and “UK” legs in the first half. “QUEEN ON FIRE” was the last day of the “UK” tour, but the Leeds performance of this work was the first day in the UK about a week ago. [Traditional masterpiece recording that has been upgraded] This show has become legendary along with Brian’s words, and the recording has been famous since ancient times. At our store, masterpieces such as “HOTTEST LEEDS” and “DEFINITIVE LEEDS 1982” have been widely loved, but they were all incomplete versions with some cuts. However, recently, another recording was discovered. Since the cut points are different, the complete form of the show was realized by complementing them. That is this work. The main part uses the highest peak of conventional recording (1st generation), while the points that were cut are supplemented with new recordings (also 1st generation). It is a complete album that allows you to seamlessly enjoy the full show. The complementary points can be seen in the songs below, and the effect is surprisingly large. Although all the songs played from the conventional recording could be heard, the performance was cut off in some places. For example, “Get Down, Make Love.” When the song ended, the reverberation of the synths roared, and the song suddenly cut off to a guitar solo, but in reality, this reverberation continued for nearly 30 seconds, and the guitar solo began after that. Although it is not an important performance part in terms of the song, the fact that this part is cut off clearly means that Brian’s intended production could not be heard. Furthermore, the end of the show is even bigger. The recorder seemed to be concerned about the amount of tape remaining, and stopped the tape frequently towards the end. Although most of the songs were waiting for the encore, they restarted after the performance started, so parts of the performance were not recorded. For example, the ending of “Tie Your Mother Down” is 14 seconds, and the drum intros of “Another One Bites The Dust” and “We Will Rock You” are several seconds each. Depending on how you listen, the timing of the stops may be strangely skillful, but the seamless connection without any interruptions made it possible to immerse yourself in the show without any discomfort. It is irresistible that it has become complete in this way because it is a masterpiece of Brian’s life that is stuck in his mind. The European leg of the “HOT SPACE Tour” continued to be so great that it was said that “everything was a masterpiece,” but among them, Leeds was the “TOP FO THE TOPS.” Freddie’s vocals, which come out interestingly and freely, and the three of them, who perform with explosive tension as if being pulled by Freddie, are so impregnable that if I were to list them one by one, there would be no end to it. Because live performances are performed all at once, something like “flow of energy” is important, and this work is also a live album where you can enjoy that without any interruptions. Brian also talks about “LIVE AID” and the 1986 Wembley Stadium performance as masterpieces of his life, but they were also taken into consideration the emotion of standing at a huge venue and the response of the revival. “Leeds 1982”, on the other hand, is not like that. Rather, while “HOT SPACE” is in a headwind, it is a night that has risen to “the masterpiece of life” just by the satisfaction of the performance and the splendor of the show. This work is the first live album in history where you can experience the complete form of such a miraculous show. A complete audience recording of the “May 29, 1982 Elland Road performance” that Brian May says is “the best show of my life.” The well-known recordings (the highest peak masters) are supplemented with newly discovered audience recordings. Completed for the first time in history. Parts that were previously separated are seamlessly connected, and you can fully enjoy productions that you couldn’t understand before, such as the guitar solo that cuts through the synth reverberation of “Get Down, Make Love.” Because live performances are performed all at once, the “flow of energy” is important, and this work is the first live album in history that allows you to enjoy a miraculous absolute masterpiece in that dimension without any interruptions.
