Quiet Riot/Tokyo,Japan 2.1.1985

The legendary QUIET RIOT’s first visit to Japan was realized in 1985. The best original recording that conveys the scene is now available. What is infused into this work is “February 1, 1985: Nakano Sunplaza performance”. It is a super clear audience recording. Speaking of their first visit to Japan, “OSAKA 1985” was very popular the other day. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show.・January 30th: Nagoya City Public Hall ・January 31st: Osaka Festival Hall “OSAKA 1985” ・February 1st: Nakano Sunplaza ←★This work★ ・February 2nd: Nakano Sunplaza ・February 3rd : Nakano Sunplaza “BANG YOUR HEAD IN TOKYO” February 4th: Nakano Sunplaza A total of 6 performances. Traveling around Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka is a routine, but the balance is unusual. Two-thirds of the total was Kojiyu performances, and all of them were concentrated at Nakano Sunplaza. This work was a concert on the first day of such Tokyo 4DAYS. This work recorded at such a show is a masterpiece recording that will wake you up with clear clarity. Although it is not a close recording that can be mistaken for a sound board, the clear core penetrates the center of the crystal clear atmosphere down to the details. Moreover, since it is directly digitized from the master cassette, there is no dubbing deterioration. There is no distortion in the outline of each note, and the extension is as glossy as velvet. Although it retains the sense of an audience in its tone, its listenability surpasses even poor FM broadcasts. The bass is especially surprising. No, each note of all instruments is clear and clear, but the bass, which tends to be spoiled in guest records, is also super vivid. If the start of the attack sound is vivid, the groove created by successive attacks will also be glossy. Even when intertwined with the bass drum, it separates neatly without mixing, creating a sound of beauty and transparency. Furthermore, there is a strangely little audience noise that emphasizes its radio-like feel. There was some real clapping, typical of a Japanese performance, but other than that, the cheers were roaring in the distance and slowly approaching. There are no up-close voices or cheering, and the loud cheers and choruses are clear and crisp, with a balance that makes the sound of the performance blare from below. What is depicted with its elegant sound is a show that concentrates and reduces the two big hits of the heyday, “METAL HEALTH” and “CONDITION CRITICAL.” The aforementioned album “OSAKA 1985” was an incomplete burnt record that stopped recording midway through, but this work is a two-disc set of about 86 minutes. In order to get a feel for the flavor, let’s organize the sets while comparing them here. METAL HEALTH (7 songs)・Slick Black Cadillac／Love’s A Bitch／Don’t Wanna Let You Go／Run For Cover／Let’s Get Crazy／Cum On Feel The Noise／Metal Health (Bang Your Head)（★） CONDITION CRITICAL（ 5 songs) ・Sign Of The Times / Party All Night / Winners Take All / Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet / Mama Weer All Crazee Now (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” are not available on “OSAKA 1985″ . …and it looks like this. The two great albums “METAL HEALTH” and “CONDITION CRITICAL” were originally on the same track, so there is no sense of discomfort even when the songs are mixed together. It’s as natural as if it was originally configured like that, and it creates the undulations unique to the show. The highlight is from the last part of the set to the encore. The two major SLADE covers, “Cum On Feel the Noize” and “Mama Weer All Crazee Now,” are sandwiched between their major song “Metal Health (Bang Your Head).” Nakano Sunplaza was set ablaze with three consecutive anthems that sparked the 80’s metal bubble! As mentioned above, the guests were silent, but calls and loud choruses erupted that shook the venue itself. Speaking of how amazing the mood is… QUIET RIOT has the image of being a one-hit wonder like “METAL HEALTH,” and it tends to be talked about more often as “Randy Rhoads’ old club.” However, its popularity during its heyday was definitely real, and its sensational power was tremendous. This work is also a sonic witness that tells such historical facts. Heavy metal took the world by storm in the 1980s. This is a masterpiece live album that allows you to experience the first visit to Japan of the legendary QUIET RIOT, who was the driving force behind it. A cultural heritage of Japanese Western music history that allows you to experience the atmosphere of 36 years ago vividly and ultra-clearly. This is heavy metal. Super clear audience recording of “February 1, 1985: Nakano Sun Plaza Performance”. A bright core like a laser beam pierces straight through the center of the crystal-clear atmosphere, and the sound is as beautiful as velvet, with fine details. It is a sound of beauty and transparency that neatly separates each note without mixing even if they intertwine. The show was a treasure trove of famous songs that concentrated and reduced the two big hits “METAL HEALTH” and “CONDITION CRITICAL”, and the final song was “Cum On Feel the Noize”, “Metal Health (Bang Your Head)”, and “Mama Weer All Crazee Now”. It’s also very powerful. You can experience the finest experience of the legendary first visit to Japan, which was aroused by the metal bubble.
