Queen/London,UK 12.8.1980 Upgrade

QUEEN was at its peak in 1980, when both the album “THE GAME” and single “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” reached number one in the United States. The traditional recording that recorded such a scene has been upgraded with a new master. The traditional recording is “December 8, 1980 London Performance”. This is a superb audience recording that captures the whole story of the famous venue “Wembley Arena”. The staff of the prestigious “Kinney” was present at this show, and its exquisite recording has been loved as a masterpiece of 1980 for a long time. This work is also the same Kinney recording, but it is a new master with a much better sound than the previous one. Before we get to the important upgrade, first let’s look at the show position. Let’s take a look at the panoramic view of “THE GAME TOUR 1980-1981”. ●1980《“THE GAME” released on June 30th》・June 30th-July 14th: North America #1 (14 performances)・August 5th-September 30th: North America #2 (35 performances) [“FLASH GORDON” released on December 8th]・November 23rd – December 18th: Europe (17 performances) ←★Here★ ●1981, February 12th-19th: Japan (6 performances), February 28th-March 21st: Latin America #1 (7 performances), September 25th-October 18th: Latin America #2 ( 6 performances)《“GREATEST HITS” released on October 26th》・November 24th + 25th: North America #3 (2 performances) ← *Official This is the overall picture of the world tour that was enjoying its full glory. This tour is also the official work “QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL”, but this work was one year earlier. 10th performance of the “Europe” tour. “Wembley Arena” was a three-day performance, and this work was a concert on the first day. This work is exquisite in quality, updating the highest peak ever. Although the previous release was a beautiful recording called Kinney recording, this work is even more vivid and neat. The treble is especially wonderful. It stretches beautifully and straight, and is so delicate that you can almost see the waveform of the vibe, not just the touch of the piano. Its fresh and natural sound is a huge difference from the previous releases, and after this work, even the traditional previous releases will sound muffled. And the more vividly it becomes, the more I realize Kinney’s work. Although the sense of distance is not zero, the atmosphere is crystal clear, and the performance sound that penetrates the space and Freddie’s singing voice are as vivid as laser beams. Rather than being a spectacle, the slight atmosphere is the type that adds luster to a clear core, and the details are not hidden at all. Was the original Kinney recording really that great? It is an upgraded sound that makes you realize the hidden power of the prestigious family that drove Japan’s boot culture. The show drawn with that quality is also amazing. As mentioned above, this tour is known for “QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL”, but the set has changed over the course of one year, and there are plenty of famous songs that could not be heard in the official work. “Mustapha” and “Death On Two Legs” in the beginning and “Fat Bottomed Girls” in the middle are delicious, but even more so is “Need Your Loving Tonight.” Although it was cut as a single, it disappeared after “Latin America #2” and was not performed on any subsequent tours, let alone “QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL”. You can experience it with the best sound of Kinney Magic at full throttle. In addition to such a set, I’m glad that Freddy is also in great condition. It’s a little different from the sky-high explosive tension, but the throat is in good condition anyway. The tone of her voice is wonderful, it stretches well and is really powerful. Especially high-pitched sounds come out comfortably. “Let Me Entertain You”, which is usually a bit of a slacker, is sung beautifully, “Play The Game” has a sharp piercing high, “Mustapha” is sharp and sharp, and “Death On Two Legs” is also without hesitation. Kinney’s previous recordings were masterpieces that knocked many fans into mania, but the driving force was not only the quality of the sound, but also the splendor of the show. It is packed with plenty of famous songs that will remind you of this. QUEEN made a triumphant return to their home country in 1980 with the No. 1 hit in the United States as a souvenir. This is a live album in which Japan’s prestigious artists put their skills to work recording the scene. A masterpiece that has been upgraded with a new master, the highest quality recording of a masterpiece.
