Queen/NY,USA 7.28.1982

“HOT SPACE TOUR 1982” was a huge hit in Europe. A masterpiece live album that allows you to fully experience the US version is now available. This work includes “July 28, 1982 New York Performance”. This is a masterpiece audience recording that records a night at “Madison Square Garden (hereinafter referred to as MSG)”, which is synonymous with large venues. The biggest point of this work is the number of valuable “HOT SPACE” numbers that can be heard with wonderful sound. But first, the show’s position. Let’s take a look at the overall picture of the world tour. “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) July 21st – September 15th: North America (33 performances) ←★Here★ October 19th – November 3rd: Japan (6 performances) This is the overall picture of “HOT SPACE TOUR 1982”. Before releasing the new album, they toured continental Europe, then moved from their home country of England to North America. The New York performance of this work is the 6th performance after just crossing the ocean. It was the second day of two consecutive MSG performances, and it was QUEEN’s last MSG concert. This work, which records such a scene, is an audience recording that is both realistic and easy to listen to. Speaking of “MSG 1982”, there is still audience recording on the first day, but to be honest, it is incomparable. The best thing about it is the clear atmosphere. It is an audience recording where a vast venue is boiling, but the performance sound and singing voice that cut through the middle are really strong. Although it is not the type that can be mistaken for a sound board, it has a responsive core and an excellent sense of stability. In particular, the edges of the guitar and drums are clearly felt. At the start of the performance, they cut through the huge cheers and reached straight through, and once the chaos subsided, they completely dominated the scene. It is one of the best recordings in the “North American” leg. The show drawn with that sound is also wonderful. You can fully enjoy the passionate performance that has been acclaimed as “one of the best American performances in Queen history” on overseas QUEEN specialized sites. The official work “QUEEN ON FIRE: LIVE AT THE BOWL” is also left from this tour, but the set has changed since it went to North America. The kickoff that follows “Flash” is “Rock It (Prime Jive)” instead of “The Hero”, and the flow that changes to “We Will Rock You (fast)” before you know it is the coolest. Perhaps judging that the album was gaining popularity, the number of “HOT ​​SPACE” numbers was increased, and in addition to the European version of “Action This Day” and “Under Pressure,” they also performed “Calling All Girls” and “Body Language.” Other than “Under Pressure”, it is a valuable number only for this tour, and it is a show that closely approaches the Japanese performance. Such a full show alone is delicious, but this work also has an amazing sense of realism that seems to be able to shake off the enthusiasm. From the start of the performance, the cheers of “As expected of MSG” were overwhelming, but that enthusiasm also had a slightly dangerous flavor. I especially feel this on “Play The Game.” QUEEN on stage seems to be playing comfortably, but I can hear voices like an argument in the audience seats. Then, as the song comes to an emotional end, the audience cries out, “Hey, sit down!” It would be annoying if it was just one or two people close together, but it can be heard from both nearby and far away, and the voices of many men and women intertwine. It’s true that someone was standing there, but how could they be in such a position that it would get in the way?! It stopped in the middle of the next song, “Somebody To Love,” but what on earth was going on at the scene… “Somebody To Love” started with such a commotion, but this is also the best performance. At the end, the chorus of “Find me, somebody! To love, Looooove!” becomes a big hit, and the chorus of “Now I’m Here” is also a great spectacle. In the end, the cause of the commotion is a mystery, but it is no wonder that such skirmishes occur.It is also a live album where the passionate performance and enthusiasm run through the full show. This is a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the tremendous popularity of North America in the early 80’s at a large venue. The famous rush in the European leg is now legendary, but North America was by no means defeated. A live album that proves that fact with its outstanding sound.
