Description
QUEEN + Adam Lampert’s “THE RHAPSODY TOUR” has become a huge craze since the 80s. Introducing the best original recording that will permanently preserve the second day! Of course, what is included in this work is “January 26, 2020: Saitama Super Arena performance”. It is the best audience recording that shines at its highest peak. Following the first report, the release rush heated up. Finally, three types of ultimate quality CD titles will be released at the same time. To avoid confusion, be sure to keep track of your position based on the show schedule.・January 25th “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 1ST NIGHT” & “CLOSED SOUNDCHECK” ・January 26th: Saitama Super Arena ←★This work★ ・January 28th: Kyocera Dome Osaka ・January 30th: Nagoya Dome Above, Total of 4 performances. Currently, Western Japan’s breaking news live albums and various videos are also appearing, but there are three titles: “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 1ST NIGHT”, this work, and the super rare sound check board “CLOSED SOUNDCHECK”. The other two works were recorded on the first day of “Tamaari”, but this work is a 2-disc full live album that permanently preserves the show on the second day. [The highest peak on the second day, which became even more gorgeous based on the experience of the first day] The quality of this work is truly the best. This show has already been reported as part of the highest peak master 4-disc set “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 (hereinafter referred to as the previous work)”, but in fact, this work is the second day of the show, which has been refined through careful mastering. It’s a thing. I will leave the relationship between the original sound and the remaster to the explanation of “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 1ST NIGHT”, but the original master of this work is a sister work by the same recording artist, same equipment, same venue, and same position as “1ST NIGHT”. Therefore, the compatibility with mastering is excellent, and this work has been reborn as something completely different. Moreover, its final form even surpasses “1ST NIGHT”. All conditions are the same as above, but the sound was better on the second day, perhaps because the sound output from the band was different. That difference was felt in the previous 4-disc set, and it has been carried over to this remastered work. Of course, there is a slight difference because it is the same system, but it is this work that is more ultimate and reigns as the “pinnacle of Kanto recording” (Western Japan is still in the midst of the pinnacle war, so I will avoid declaring it the best of the tour. ). And there are two main differences. The first is the sense of stability in the first half. In fact, on the first day, the sound tended to be high-pitched at the beginning, perhaps because there was some confusion with the venue’s PA. It started to settle down and become a natural balance around the 5th song, but on the second day of this work it was stable from the beginning. This is directly related to the quality of this work. The other thing is the gorgeous sound of the sound. “1ST NIGHT” also cleared the cloudiness while leaving an exquisite sound component, but in this work, even though the same processing was applied, the midrange response is more generous, and the deep bass has a crisp edge and a deep sound. It’s powerful. This is also (probably) due to the sound output from the on-site PA. Generally speaking, the second day at the same venue was strong. No matter how carefully we do a sound check, the sound changes just by adding an audience, but we played all the songs under that condition. You can perfectly understand not only the balance but also the difference in the way the music is heard depending on the composition, and further pursue the ideal. In this work, the “sound that QUEEN wants” that takes advantage of such strengths is firmly engraved, and it is also a recording that is so clear that you can feel it clearly. [A full show with plenty of famous songs since the 70s/80s] Such skill is evident not only in the sound staff but also in the band itself. Although they performed two performances in Korea before coming to Japan, the Asia leg itself is the start of the 2020 world tour. After one performance, I regained my composure and my body was getting used to it. Moreover, this work is the second performance at the same venue, and the songs played are the same (only the position of the Japan-only song “I Was Born To Love You” has been changed, resulting in a more complete flow). On the first day, the rhythm was unstable and there were some songs that felt like I was fumbling, but on the second day of this work, it became much more stable. We have introduced the set in various explanations, so let’s summarize it again based on QUEEN’s history of coming to Japan. Songs played last time (2016): Seven Seas of Rhye／Hammer to Fall／Killer Queen／Don’t Stop Me Now／Somebody to Love／Another One Bites the Dust／I Want It All／Love of My Life／Crazy Little Thing Called Love/Under Pressure/I Want to Break Free/You Take My Breath Away/Who Wants to Live Forever/Tie Your Mother Down/The Show Must Go On/Radio Ga Ga/Bohemian Rhapsody/We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions・Japan limited song: Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) / I Was Born To Love You Songs since the first visit to Japan (2014)・Now I’m Here / In the Lap of the Gods… Revisited This time, the songs performed for the first time in Japan ・Since 1976: Doing All Right ・Since 1979: Bicycle Race ・Since 1985: Keep Yourself Alive/Dragon Attack ・Since 2005 (+Rogers): I’m in Love With My Car/’39…and it looks like this. QUEEN + Adam is coming to Japan for the third time, but this time there are no solo numbers of Brian or Dam, everything is QUEEN. There are six numbers with Adam that will be performed for the first time in Japan. Moreover, it is not just a replacement, but this time it is the largest in terms of the number of songs. In terms of popularity, it was the most glorious tour since the 1980s, but it was the ultimate show that perfectly responded to it. From breaking news to searching for the top. The recording archive after the concert has become serious, but among the countless Kanto recordings that have appeared, this work is the top of the top. This is a new masterpiece of 2020 that is suitable for permanent preservation. Originally, I would like you to enjoy the two performances in their entirety along with “SAITAMA SUPER ARENA 2020 1ST NIGHT” from the same recording artist’s collection, but if you only want “the ultimate one”, please try this work. Please choose. This is a masterpiece that perfectly meets those expectations.
