Description
The official live work “LIVE KILLERS” celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. A video collection of valuable shots from the “JAZZ TOUR” that gave rise to the classic album will be released. This work is a video work produced by overseas enthusiasts to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “LIVE KILLERS”. This is a collection of detailed footage that was left in various parts of the “JAZZ TOUR” and has been put together so that you can enjoy it for 2 hours and 16 minutes in its best condition. The source is huge, “10 performances + α”, and “α” is diverse, such as rehearsals, off-shots, interviews, rare promos, etc. Although each video is wonderful, it is so detailed that even collectors can “take a quick look” at the videos that they have been unable to find. It is best to explain the details individually. As mentioned above, there are many different types, but here we will introduce them by classifying them into 5 main types. [Silent 8mm film (approximately 5 minutes)] ●Lakeland performance, November 4, 1978 You may be surprised to hear that there is no sound when you play this work, but this is not due to equipment failure or a defective DVDR. This work begins with the silent video of “November 4, 1978 Lakeland Performance”. It is a valuable audience shot of “JAZZ TOUR”, but at that time it was the era before VHS. The audience seats were shot on 8mm film. And most of it is silent. Currently, the method of synchronizing audience recording with silent film is popular, but no recording of this show has been discovered. [8mm audio synchronized footage (2 performances)] ●December 8, 1978, Kansas performance/January 24, 1979, Berlin performance Next, 8mm film of the two performances, which also had recordings, will appear. . Not only does it come with sound, but the sound is truly amazing, and the video quality has improved dramatically. It’s instantly more worth watching, and it becomes an audience-seat video that is still relevant today. However, what is different from modern times is that it is cut into pieces. The 8mm format has a short shooting time, and can be cut in a few minutes to tens of seconds. Only the highlight scenes of “Kokozo!” are left from each song in the show, and the audio is combined with them. Of course, they don’t just overlap each other, they identify the songs and parts from Freddie’s movements and stage production, and sync them perfectly. This is a great video that will impress you with his maniac skills. [Various TV program pro shots (5 performances + α)] Following the precious 8mm is a collection of professional shots. Having said that, it is not a long live concert as you would normally imagine, but a TV video reporting on a “JAZZ TOUR”. There are too many to list, but the footage is roughly from “January 1979” to “November 1979.” Of course, actual live scenes are included in various places, but you can also enjoy “JAZZ TOUR” from a variety of perspectives, such as the staff setting up the stage, the members’ own sound checks, and backstage interviews. And the point is quality. Anyway, it’s beautiful and exquisite. Since it is a diverse collection of videos, it is impossible to say in one sentence that “the image quality is ○○” and “the sound quality is XX”, but what I can definitely say is “I have never seen a version this beautiful.” This is a collection of superb masters that speaks more eloquently than a thousand words about how deep the mania that put together this work is. Particularly must-see is the interview held in the dressing room of “April 14, 1979: Nippon Budokan.” If a very plain female reporter starts by saying, “It’s like a dream to see all of QUEEN together,” it looks old, but the handwritten caption reads “Hi! It’s been three years since I’ve seen you. I’ve changed a lot! (John).” Also Furious 1979. You can enjoy some very interesting interviews with interpretation, such as the meaning of the title “JAZZ” and Freddie’s Japanese collection. [Proshot Live (2 performances + rehearsal)] ●February 4, 1979 Zurich performance / March 1st Paris performance / December 9th BBC rehearsal Among such a collection of professional shots, there are three videos worth mentioning. Most of the pro-shots for this work are TV report programs, so even during the live performance, the narration is overlaid, and it quickly switches to an interview, but these three types are pro-shot live performances that allow you to concentrate on the live performance. . First of all, “February 4, 1979 Zurich Performance”, but this is already the best. Although there are only two songs, “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions,” Freddy from the leather era can be enjoyed with multi-camera professional shots that use a lot of close-ups. Regardless of the quality or content, it is a must-see. The second one is “Dreamer’s Ball” from “March 1, 1979 Paris Performance”. This is a one-camera shot, so it doesn’t feel like a professional shot, but the audience is not visible and the sound is crisp. Freddy, who walks around the stage and messes with the members, is closely followed, making it a professional shot that is worth seeing. The third one is “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by BBC Pro Shot. Although it was shot at a rehearsal rather than a live performance, the camera work is a professional shot, and the video is highly complete, almost like a PV. [Bonus footage: Promo clips (5 types)] In addition to such tour footage, this work also includes bonus footage. First up are the promo clips for “Bicycle Race,” “Fat Bottomed Girls,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and “Dead On Time.” “Bicycle Race” is recorded in two versions: instead of the usual nude PV, there is an American version in which the woman is cut out, and a different version that includes paper-cutting and video processing. The following “Fat Bottomed Girls” is also a different version with slightly different editing, but what is surprising is the image quality. The same can be said for the processed version of “Bicycle Race”, which was digitized from the U-matic tape at the time, and is more beautiful than the blackened official version. “Don’t Stop Me Now” is an even more impressive upgrade. This is also made from 16mm film, and its beauty is exquisite! I would like you to send it to Brian… The film concludes with a rare telephone interview from 1978 and a collage clip of “Dead On Time.” “JAZZ TOUR” also has a cool black leather Freddy. This is a 2 hour and 16 minute video work that allows you to enjoy the precious movement of this creature. Moreover, each piece is extremely valuable and is of the highest quality in existence. A video work made by a deep enthusiast. QUEEN – LIVE KILLERS 40TH ANNIVERSARY VIDEO RARITIES EDITION (136:00) 01.
