Not only the sound, but the show content is also amazing, and it is sure to be an exceptional one even in the Graham Bonnet era, which is crowded with popular works. In order to explain the awesomeness, it is necessary to know the position of the show above all. Let’s explore the overview of the activities at that time while looking at it. 1979 (“DOWN TO EARTH” released on July 28th) ・September 18th – October 12th: North America #1 (18 shows) ← *DOWN TO FRONTIER (Chicago), and more ・November 6th – December 13th: North America #2 (24 shows) ← *DOWN TO FRONTIER (Denver), and more 1980 ・January 17th – March 8th: Europe (35 shows) ← ★HERE★ – Two months later – ・May 8th – 15th: Japan (6 shows) ← *DEFINITIVE BUDOKAN 1980 2ND NIGHT, and more – Two and a half months later – ・August 8th – 10th: Scandinavia (3 shows) ← *ASTROLOGIST ・August 16th: Appearance at Monsters Of Rock (Cozy Powell leaves the band) This is RAINBOW during the Graham era, which was hailed as the strongest. The flow is roughly “North America → Europe → Japan → MOR”, but it has been popular among collectors since 1980. “North America #1-2” in 1979 was mainly an opening show, and the show was short, and Graham was not yet accustomed to the world of hard rock. However, when they entered their main battlefield, “Europe”, the show became full-scale and Graham finally began to show his true potential. Of course, their peak was “Japan”, but the previous “Europe” was also full of excitement and rise to know their true potential. Now, let’s check out our collection that allows you to experience such “Europe”. Details of the “European” leg * January 17th “LOST IN EUROPE (Gothenburg)” * January 18th “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM: STOCKHOLM 1980” {January 19th “Wiss Heim” recording} * January 20th: Copenhagen performance ←★ This work ★ ・ January 22-29th (6 performances) * January 30th “LOST IN BREMEN” ・ February 1st-March 8th (25 performances) The legendary recording that rose to the new champion with the original cassette … is like this. At this time … No, speaking of the masterpiece of overseas performances, “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM (Black Box 018)” reigns on the throne, but this work is the “next” show. And in terms of quality, it is the “new champion” that has reached a level that is on par with “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM” by excavating the original cassette. In fact, the sound has been significantly upgraded. Once mistaken for a sound board, the on core approaches closely and jumps into your ears with fine details. The ultimate Gene’s original cassette has improved the fine details, the subtlety of the sound, and the sense of separation, so much so that it even gives the illusion of being recorded on stage. The clearness that stands out is exactly the same as “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM”. A great performance by Graham with explosive tension, and not only the sound but also the performance is comparable to “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM”. The five people who were called the strongest are performing a great performance that explodes, but the most intense is Graham. In “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM”, he roared a superhuman high note, but this work is a little different, and it is a passionate singing of power and dynamism. The full-power blues of “Love’s No Friend” gives a feeling of “a strange mood,” and in “Catch The Rainbow,” he skillfully controls the emotions of his subdued tone. And perhaps because he is enjoying the good performance of being able to sing as he wants, his tension keeps rising. In “Love’s No Friend,” he plays around with rolling tongue scat, and each song includes improvised phrases that are not in the original. The best is “Lost In Hollywood”! In the highlight refrain part, Graham, who is out of the meter, explodes with a powerful singing style in which he sings the spelling “H! O! L! L! Y. W. O. O. D” one letter at a time. It sounds like a joke when written like this, but Graham on this day was not normal because he made such a borderline phrase sound cool. The most popular thing about Graham’s time was the miracle Japan performance. This is the same as “DEEP PURPLE’s pinnacle = MADE IN JAPAN,” and it is an eternal truth. It will never change. So, what is the best masterpiece of the overseas performance? The answer is “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM” and this work. A new masterpiece of a live album that seems to have crystallized everything, with a long full set, a great performance without fatigue, and the miracle sound of the original cassette. A superb audience recording of the “January 20, 1980 Copenhagen performance”. The original cassette of the legendary recording, which was once distributed as a sound board, has been newly excavated. The direct feeling of the on core approaching Guigui is the same, but the clarity and fine details are the same. The sense of separation has also been greatly improved. You can experience the best show with the best Graham in the form of improvised phrases. Along with “DEFINITIVE GRAHAM”, this is the birth of a new champion album that reigns as the best masterpiece of overseas recordings.
