Queen/UK 8.9.1986 Upgrade

The fateful “August 9, 1986 Knebworth performance” was the last night of the original QUEEN. The legendary recording that has passed down the whole story has been brushed up and will be preserved forever. Many of you probably have this date burned into your mind. The highlight of “THE MAGIC TOUR”, which attracted 300,000 people on the final day. And after all, it was the last show with “those four” including Freddie, and QUEEN… no, it was a scene that everyone who loved rock wanted to witness. This work is a superb audience recording that allows you to experience the final full show. As you may know if you keep an eye on this article, this show is also known for its famous recordings and has been loved as a classic for many years. Recorded by a well-known historical master at our store, this is a famous recording that boasts a sound quality that has long been said to be “one of the top five audience recordings of QUEEN.” This work is the latest and highest peak update edition. If you are an old collector, you may remember “ELECTRIC MAGIC”, but although this work is basically the same recording, the contents are very different. While the Amsterdam version was created from an out-of-gen trade master, this work is based on DEFINITIVE KNEBWORTH, which was borrowed from the master cassette from the person who recorded it and re-digitized in 2019. 1986”. This is a brush-up version of that super masterpiece that was quickly sold out and out of print. The sound is truly top quality. You won’t mistake it for a sound board because it has a vivid on-site feel, but in terms of quality it is comparable to FM broadcasting. Since the time of “ELECTRIC MAGIC”, it has been counted as one of the “Five Fingers”, and the core is on, there is no sense of distance, and the fineness of detail is also amazing. Being an outdoor venue set up in Knebworth Park, there were no walls or ceilings to reflect sound, and the sound emitted by the PA was directly picked up with zero echo. Of course, if you were far from the PA or if the sound was blown away by the wind, you would be lost, but a master would never make such a mistake. Furthermore, the freshness of being digitized directly from the original cassette cannot be compared to “ELECTRIC MAGIC”. I suddenly lined up the compliments, but this is only about the previous album “DEFINITIVE KNEBWORTH 1986”. This work is an upgraded version that has been further improved. Of course, even though it is a remaster, it is not a reckless attempt to increase sound pressure. While making the most of the natural feel of the original sound, we have raised the level of perfection as a musical work. To be more specific, it’s the quality of the street. By sorting out the rumble in each range, from treble to deep bass, the feeling of congestion at its peak is given a clearer feel, and the stereo feel also changes to become wider and more vivid. Furthermore, the vocal quality is good. In the original sound, distortion was felt at the peak of the vocal line (sa-si-su-se-so) due to the on-site PA. This phenomenon occurs in any language, be it Japanese or English, and is especially common in sounds produced up to the 1980s. Although that is also the reality of the scene, in this work we have brought it closer to “Freddy’s live voice”. What is depicted with the reborn sound is the last brave figure of the original QUEEN, and the last Freddy. This show was also adopted as the official version “LIVE MAGIC”, but the rare edition of that century was a mixture of other performances. Even the songs that were accepted were edited to shreds. On the other hand, this work is an audience recording that penetrates all at once without any confusion. You can fully experience the most important show in QUEEN history. There is a feeling that everything has been talked about because it is such a special show, but it is also a good opportunity, so let’s organize the content of the show. 70’s・Queen II: Seven Seas Of Rhye・Sheer Heart Attack: In The Lap Of The Gods… Revisited/Now I’m Here・A Night At The Opera: Love Of My Life/Bohemian Rhapsody・Splendid Lace : Tie Your Mother Down・Dedicated to the World: We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions 80’s・The Game: Another One Bites The Dust/Crazy Little Thing Called Love・Hot Space: Under Pressure・The Works: Tear It Up/I Want To Break Free/Is This The World We Created?/Hammer To Fall/Radio Ga Ga Kind of Magic: One Vision/A Kind Of Magic/Who Wants to Live Forever/Friends Will Be Friends ・Others: Impromptu/(You’re So Square) Baby I Don’t Care/Hello Mary Lou (Goodbye Heart)/Tutti Frutti…and this is QUEEN’s last full set. Instead of omitting “Gimme Some Lovin’” and “Big Spender” from “LIVE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM”, it is a tighter and more flowing show. And that performance is amazing. The testimonies of the members about Freddie’s condition vary from time to time, so it is difficult to say whether they were convinced that “this day was the last”, but there is no way that a genuine entertainer would not be able to perform in front of a huge crowd of 300,000 people. It is a great performance even if you leave out the emotion of the “last”, and it is one of the most passionate performances on the entire “MAGIC TOUR”, perhaps because there was a 4-day break just before. The film ends with Freddie muttering “I thank you all” during “We Are The Champions,” and the audience replying, “Thank you all.” This is the last concert that touches my heart no matter how many times I listen to it. Since then, a full official live version of this night has been desired, and before I knew it, 35 years had passed. However, even if that wish were to come true, the sound board would not give you the feeling of being “present at the scene” or the reality that “Freddie is right in front of you.” This recording has continued to make such “ultimate dreams” come true with the superlative sound. This work is the highest peak update of such a dream album. The best audience recording of the original QUEEN’s last night “August 9, 1986 Knebworth performance”. The masterpiece, which was directly digitized from the original cassette of the legendary recording by master master “Crazy S.”, has been updated and meticulously updated. It was originally a super famous recording that was said to be “one of the top five in QUEEN,” but this time the sound quality has improved significantly. The feeling of congestion that was felt at the peak gives rise to a clear sound, and as a result, the stereo feeling changes to become wider and more vivid. Furthermore, the distortion felt in the vocal line has been alleviated, bringing it closer to Freddie’s real voice. This is a “dream crystal” where you can experience QUEEN’s last great performance in full at its finest.
