Ratt/Tokyo,Japan 1.1.1989

In 1989, RATT stepped on the big stage of “Big Egg” on their third visit to Japan. Introducing an original recording that allows you to experience the show that concluded the gorgeous 1980s. What is inscribed in this work is “January 1, 1989: Tokyo Dome performance”. This is an audience recording recorded at “HEAT BEAT LIVE ’89 IN BIG EGG” where he appeared with BON JOVI. Some of you may have already heard the words “New Year’s Day 1989” and “Tokyo Dome.” It is a live album that is the sister edition of KINGDOM COME’s masterpiece “TOKYO DOME 1989” which was released and received good reviews. If you’ve experienced the KINGDOM COME edition, you’ve probably already made up your mind, but not all RATT fans will like KINGDOM COME. Let’s look back on those days from the RATT perspective. 1988, December 31st: Tokyo Dome 1989, January 1st: Tokyo Dome ←★This work★ January 6th: Nagoya Rainbow Hall January 8th: Osaka Castle Hall January 9th: Fukuoka Sun Palace ・January 11th: Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium ・January 12th: Nippon Budokan This is the 1989 Japan tour. They performed at a big event at Tokyo Dome during the year-end and New Year holidays, but after that they went on a solo tour. They toured famous venues all over the country and even conquered Nippon Budokan, even though Tokyo Dome was there. The schedule shows how popular it was at the time. Well, this work recorded at such a New Year’s Day show in 1989 is a powerful audience recording with a vivid direct feeling that is similar to the KINGDOM COME edition. This is a masterpiece collection that has been continuously being discovered recently, and not only sister works of KINGDOM COME but also many masterpieces are very popular. Recent HR records such as HEART’s masterpiece “TOKYO 1988 2ND NIGHT” and BON JOVI’s “BUDOKAN 1987 FINAL NIGHT” have received rave reviews for their distant sound even in large venues. The KINGDOM COME edition proved such a great skill, but this work is on the same day and at the same venue, so the sound is very similar…or should I say, it is the same. While breathing in the realistic atmosphere, the powerful core approaches you in front of you, making it hard to believe that it was a dome recording. Speaking of 1989, Tokyo Dome had just been completed, and neither the sound output know-how on the PA side nor the recording technology on the audience side had been established. Despite this era, they are able to easily achieve a sense of closeness that is difficult even in modern times. What is drawn with such direct sound is a full show that concentrates the golden 80’s numbers. Although it is just one act performing at a festival, the approximately 68-minute running time is plenty worth listening to. Moreover, it is not just a greatest hits. In order to explain its meaning, let’s organize the sets here. Classics (7 songs) – Flame of Lust: Wanted Man / Back for More / Round and Round – Invasion of Your Privacy: Lay It Down / You’re in Love – Dancing Undercover: Slip of the Lip / Body Talk Reach for the Sky (7 songs) / City To City / Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds (★) / I Want A Woman / Bottom Line (★) / What’s It Gonna Be (★) / Way Cool Jr./Chain Reaction *Note: “★” marks are rare songs only available on this tour. …and it looks like this. While the representative songs are lined up in a row, the latest work at the time, “REACH FOR THE SKY,” takes up half of the show. Although there are some songs that come back from time to time, including the classic “Way Cool Jr.,” most of them are rare songs. In particular, three songs, “Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds,” “Bottom Line,” and “What’s It Gonna Be,” were only performed on this tour, and you can experience these precious songs at the rare venue of Tokyo Dome. is. Direct sound that you wouldn’t expect from Tokyo Dome, and a spectacle of a large audience that could only be possible at Tokyo Dome. This is a valuable original recording that allows you to experience RATT in its heyday on both sides. This work alone is a wonderful documentary album, but if you listen to it side by side with the KINGDOM COME edition, you can even more vividly experience the era of a rare scene that will never be seen again. Masterpiece audience recording of “January 1, 1989: Tokyo Dome Performance”. It is a masterpiece that was directly digitized from the original cassette, and the sound is so direct and powerful that it is hard to believe that it is Tokyo Dome, and the extremely thick core approaches right in front of you. In addition to the famous songs that summarize the 80’s, you can also enjoy the rare “REACH FOR THE SKY” number only available on this tour.
