Description
“THE RHAPSODY TOUR” by QUEEN + Adam Lampert is taking Japan by storm. The latest masterpiece original recording will be released at the earliest! This is QUEEN + Adam’s third visit to Japan, but this time it’s different from the previous ones. The unprecedented boom that started with the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” swept through stadium venues in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Under such circumstances, two performances are included in this work. This is an exquisite audio recording that conveys the panoramic view of “January 25th + 26th, 2020: Saitama Super Arena Performance.” The Japan tour, which is changing the Japanese music scene, is currently underway. First of all, let’s check the contents of this work on that schedule. ・January 25: Saitama Super Arena ←★This work DISC 1-2 ・January 26: Saitama Super Arena ←★This work DISC 3-4 ・January 28: Kyocera Dome Osaka ・January 30: Nagoya Dome That’s all 4 performances. To date, only the two Kanto performances have been completed, and the Osaka performance is still being held at the time of this update. This work is a 4-disc set that completely records the final 2 DAYS of “Tamaari”. It is the fastest release that was introduced in just two days from the live venue. [Complete recording of two days by a master taper with a series of masterpieces] Of course, this work is amazing because it doesn’t matter whether it’s fast or bad. The quality is also top notch. Since it is a rare concert in recent years, we have been flooded with requests for recordings immediately after the performance, but this work is the best master among them. This is an incredibly beautiful recording made by a master who has made many masterpiece recordings, not just recent ones. Rather, the fastest release was possible because it was wonderful without any mastering. In fact, the sound of this work is extremely neat. I am not the type to mistake it for a sound board because it is an audience recording that absorbs enthusiasm, but the space is fresh and transparent, and the performances and singing voices that penetrate the center are extremely beautiful. This time, “Tamaari” was in stadium mode with a capacity of 30,000 people, but the core of this work is full of excitement, and the details are clear down to the smallest details. On top of that, the slight rumble is the best. Anyway, the vibe is neat, and without hiding the subtleties of the core, it gives luster and thickness to the rugged core, greatly increasing the dynamism. While the nuances of each instrument are clear, the guitar orchestration and chorus work are thick, and Adam’s singalong, which cuts right through the middle, resonates in every corner of the venue. The spectacle and the soaring feeling of elation are “beauty that can only be conveyed by the audience” that can never be conveyed by a sound board. Moreover, this work has a great sense of unity between the two performances. In fact, this work is a sister recording by the same person. The sound is very similar because it’s the same equipment, same settings, and same venue. Of course, the position is slightly different, and I feel that the second day (disc 3-4) when I understood the sound output is slightly more direct, but that’s only after listening to it microscopically with headphones. The entire two days of “Tamaari” flow out of the speaker with the best sound of almost the same level. [Treasure box of masterpieces that have become the largest ever] What is depicted with such quality is the largest and most enthusiastic full show ever. Speaking of their performances in Japan, “LIVE IN JAPAN” is famous, which is QUEEN + Adam’s only official work since their first visit to Japan. Let’s organize the sets while comparing them here. 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 (★★) 80s/90s (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 a “★” cannot be heard in the official video of the first visit to Japan “LIVE IN JAPAN”. Furthermore, the songs marked with “★★” are songs performed for the first time in Japan by QUEEN+Adam. …and it looks like this. Although the position of “I Was Born To Love You” is different between the two days, the selection is the same. Although the concept that encompasses the history of the original QUEEN remains the same, its content is quite different from before. The official work “LIVE IN JAPAN” is a video of the first visit to Japan in 2014, but compared to that, this time it is drastically different. Of the 28 songs played live this time, about half, or 13, are different. Of course, their first visit to Japan was for a festival, so it was a short one, but this time they had the largest number of songs ever, surpassing even their full-scale performance in 2016. There are no solo songs by Adam or Brian. Moreover, not only are there many, but there are also plenty of numbers that will be released for the first time in Japan with QUEEN + Adam. Roger has sung “I’m in Love With My Car” and “’39” since QUEEN + Paul Rodgers, and “Keep Yourself Alive” and “Dragon Attack” have been sung by Freddie since “THE WOKS TOUR”, which was his last visit to Japan. , “Bicycle Race” and “Doing All Right” are famous songs performed in Japan more than 40 years after the 1970s. It is not just a greatest hits, but it is filled with hidden treasures that are unique to “THE RHAPSODY TOUR” which received a biopic movie. Adam’s singing voice that has reached the level of proficiency, the glorious spectacle that has reached its peak again, the mood of joy at the appearance of Freddie… There are countless points, but you can enjoy the two performances in their entirety with beautiful sound. That’s all. With Osaka and Nagoya still remaining, I can’t casually declare it the “No. 1 tour”, but I’m holding back the urge to say so in front of this beauty and sense of fulfillment. A 4-disc set with the fastest release and the ultimate feel.
