Queen,Adam Lambert/Saitama,Japan 1.25.2020

“THE RHAPSODY TOUR” finally came to Japan. The first original recording will be released at the same time! This work is the first of two such series. This is an exquisite full audience recording that conveys the entire story of “January 25, 2020: Saitama Super Arena Performance”. This week, a masterpiece 4-disc set “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020” that completely covers the 2 performances of “Tamaari” will be released, but this work is a completely different recording from that 4-disc set. This is the original master of this work, which was directly received from Taper himself. Be sure to check the position for each race on the schedule to avoid making mistakes. ・January 25th: Saitama Super Arena ←★This work★ ・January 26th “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 DAY 2” ・January 28th: ​​Kyocera Dome Osaka ・January 30th: Nagoya Dome A total of 4 performances. This is QUEEN + Adam Lambert’s third visit to Japan, but this time is the largest due to the unprecedented boom that started with the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody”. It was a big tour with stadium performances in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka (“Tamaari” was also in stadium mode). This work is the best of that. It is an audience recording that vacuum-packed the scene on the first day. The sound of this work is also wonderful. It is undeniable that it is a little further away than the masterpiece U 4-disc set, but the performances and singing voices that penetrate that space and reach your hands are truly vivid. Moreover, the sound of the hall is neat and beautiful. It’s a type that rises like an aura from a solid core, so there’s no wraparound or muddiness, and the chorus work is also richly colored. Although it is not as clear as the 4-disc set, it is a recording that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the melodies of all-time masterpieces. And the breathing of the audience is also real. As mentioned above, a large audience of 30,000 people gathered at the Stadium Node’s “Tamaari”, and the cheers and chants that rose from there were like the swells of the ocean. Of course, I’m not the type to be bothered by loud voices, nor do they interfere with the performance or Adam’s singing voice, but each song has a powerful impact that seems to rise up from below the stage as each song reaches its highlight. . While you can enjoy the music thoroughly, the sense of realism is also unprecedented. What is depicted with such sound is a musical treasure chest packed with QUEEN’s famous songs. Speaking of their shows, their only official work “LIVE IN JAPAN” is the most famous, so let’s compare and organize them. 70’s (17 songs) – Scary Princess: Keep Yourself Alive (★) / Doing All Right (★) – Queen II: Seven Seas of Rhye – Sheer Heart Attack: Now I’m Here / Killer Queen / In the Lap of the Gods… Revisited ・A Night at the Opera: I’m in Love With My Car (★) / Love of My Life / ’39 (★) / Bohemian Rhapsody ・ Splendid Lace: Somebody to Love (★) / Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) / Tie Your Mother Down (★) ・Dedicated to the world: We Will Rock You / We Are the Champions ・Jazz: Don’t Stop Me Now (★) / Bicycle Race (★) 80 90’s (11 songs)・The Game: Another One Bites the Dust/Crazy Little Thing Called Love/Dragon Attack (★★)・Hot Space: Under Pressure・The Works: Hammer to Fall (★)/ I Want to Break Free (★) / Radio Ga Ga・Mr. Bad Guy: I Was Born To Love You・Kind of Magic: Who Wants to Live Forever (★)・The Miracle: I Want It All・Innuendo: The Show Must Go On (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard in the official video of the first visit to Japan “LIVE IN JAPAN”. …and it looks like this. The first visit to Japan, which became the official work “LIVE IN JAPAN”, was short due to the festival appearance, but compared to 2016 when it was full scale, there are more this time. Even though there were no solo songs by Adam or Brian, it was a show that boasted the largest number of songs ever. In fact, of the 28 songs played live this time, 13, or about half, are masterpieces that cannot be heard on “LIVE IN JAPAN”. Moreover, the performance that spells out such a set is too wonderful. Both Roger and Brian are doing well, but Adam is the one who has done the most. Everyone knew that it was incredibly stupid, but that wasn’t the only thing. While he sings so perfectly that it makes you think of Freddie in his heyday, he doesn’t resemble Freddie, nor does he even try to resemble him. However, unlike Paul Rodgers, it doesn’t feel out of place because it’s ingrained in my blood because I grew up listening to it. If you look like someone from a cover band, you’ll end up looking for something “Freddie-like,” only to be disappointed and say, “It’s definitely different,” and it’s not like they’ve been repainted to match the celebrity’s personality. In this work, he says, “I love Freddie. Everyone else does too, right? We’re all the same. Let’s have fun together.” This attitude is reflected in the singing voice itself. Of course, it lacks the passion of Freddie, but the more mature vocalization is the cornerstone of the show, which has been praised as “perfect entertainment.” QUEEN’s famous songs continue to fascinate Japan in 2020. This is a live album that allows you to fully experience the first day of coming to Japan with beautiful sounds, which has been sublimated into a perfect show. It is perfect for the collection of those who want to complete their records of shows they have actually experienced, and for those who think the volume of a 4-disc set is a bit heavy.
