Rainbow/Tokyo,Japan 1980 Truly Perfect Sound

The most popular “Budokan final day” on the 1980 Japan tour. It has been reprinted as a 2-CD set containing the famous performances of the famous performances! First of all, let’s confirm the dates of his only visit to Japan in 1980 during the Graham Bonnet era.・May 8: Nippon Budokan ・May 9: Nippon Budokan (2 days off) ・May 12: Nippon Budokan [this work] ・May 13: Osaka Festival Hall ・May 14: Osaka Festival Hall – May 15th: Osaka Festival Hall As you can see, RAINBOW in 1980 was the same Budokan + Osaka Festival Hall as DEEP PURPLE’s first visit to Japan. All 6 performances were full of great performances, but I would say that the “May 12th Budokan performance” also featured “Blues” and “Will You Still Love Me Tommorow,” which were not available on the previous two days, and the spirit was high enough. It’s the most popular live performance. There are countless masterpiece titles that recorded this pattern, but most of them originated from Kinney’s LP “SOLITARY TRAVELER”. The one thing that changed this situation was the release of this work, “GIGANTIC EXPLOSION,” which appeared 10 years ago. Although this work is a different recording from the highest sound quality “SOLITARY TRAVELER series”, it is an audience master that was recorded as beautifully as the same level. Moreover, it is a live album that was digitized directly from the original cassette that no one had ever heard before. It is the most popular live performance, and it is also comparable to the traditional super famous recordings, so when it was released as a press CD from the POWER GATE label, it was a huge hit and sold out in an instant. In fact, the sound is very vivid. The first song, “Eyes Of The World,” has Graham singing so passionately that it makes you startle, but after that, the sound continues endlessly, with a difference from the “SOLITARY traveller” series, but just as clear, clear, and tight. is. What’s more, there was a scene in the middle of the show! I’m also glad that the “Lost In Hollywood medley” is uncut. Most of the recordings of “DOWN TO EARTH TOUR 1979-1980” use 90-minute tapes, so there will be a tape change cut somewhere in the huge 30-minute medley. It was a great impact to be able to listen to it all at once as a complete master (and super high sound quality & big name performance at Budokan!). In this way, it was the great excavation master of the century, but unfortunately it was only recorded up to Cozy Powell’s drum solo, and about 1/3 of the end of the show was not recorded. Therefore, in this work, we use previously released records from the “SOLITARY TRAVELER series” that have similar sound textures to compensate until the end of the performance. It connects so naturally that you can’t tell the switching point, and it proves how good the main master of this work is. By the way, on the contrary, “INNOCENT VICTIMS COMPLETE” is “SOLITARY TRAVELLER series base + GIGANTIC EXPLOSION compensation”. These two are also brother works born out of new excavation (although the warp at the end of “Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll”, which is missing in both masters, remains the same). It’s been 10 years since the shocking masterpiece was sold out, and this week, the definitive edition “DEFINITIVE BUDOKAN 1980”, which is a reprint of the original “SOLITARY TRAVELER series” from the recording cassette itself, will be released. Its appearance in 1980 would be the deciding blow for Budokan. Therefore, I would like you to remember that “there was another masterpiece recording” that recorded the same stage. The one and only Graham era Japan tour, its most popular live. “DEFINITIVE BUDOKAN 1980”, which is the pinnacle of all, is wonderful alone, but it is also a masterpiece audience album that can be listened to with approximate quality from another angle. We hope that you will take this opportunity to experience the profound possibilities of audience recording.
