Description
Two amazing new masters will be released simultaneously from the original DAT series, which is full of masterpieces! A sister work that revives the scene of 1995, the last visit of “Hard Rock Richie” to Japan, with superb sound is now available. This work is the second of two simultaneous releases. It is a super-class audience recording of the performance “November 20, 1995: Kyushu Welfare Pension Hall”. Our shop archives the visits of the past RAINBOWs to Japan with the highest possible quality / lineup, and 1995 is no exception. The sister work “KYOTO 1995 DAT MASTER” will also be released at the same time, so let’s organize our collection by date here as well.・November 11th “FLY BY NIGHT (Yoyogi)”・November 12th “RETURN OF THE BLACK (Yoyogi)”・November 14th “KYOTO 1995: DAT MASTER”・November 16th “OSAKA 1995 1ST NIGHT (Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium)”・November 17th “NAGOYA 1995 DAT MASTER”・November 19th “TEARS IN BLACK (Osaka)”・November 20th: Kyushu Welfare Pension Hall ←★This work★・November 22nd “KILLING FLOOR (Yokohama Bunka Gymnasium)”・November 23rd “ELECTRIC EVER (NK Hall)”※Only representative recordings for each day. That’s a total of 9 performances. The tour started in Tokyo, went around Western Japan and returned to Tokyo, and the Fukuoka performance in this work was the southern end just before returning to Kanto. BLACKMORE’S NIGHT will not land in Kyushu, and this may be Richie’s last Fukuoka performance, not only as a hard rock guitarist, but also in his life. The Kyushu performance “FUKUOKA 1995” was popular, but this work is a completely different recording. It is a new masterpiece that was directly digitized from the DAT master excavated from the same recording artist’s collection as the simultaneously released “KYOTO 1995 DAT MASTER”. And the sound is once again superb. Compare… no, no, stop. It’s on a completely different level. “FUKUOKA 1995” was also a neat and beautiful recording for the 90s, but it’s stupid to compare it with this work, which is fiercely on and soundboard-like. In fact, I can’t believe that this work is a spatial recording through the atmosphere, just like “KYOTO 1995 DAT MASTER”. That said, the individuality is slightly different. While “KYOTO 1995 DAT MASTER” had strong guitar and bass (and keyboard), this work has amazing guitar and vocals. The edges of the clear outline are sharp, but the edges are not painful to the ears. The details stand out in the sheer clarity, and the lyrics are clear to the level of breathing. If “KYOTO 1995 DAT MASTER” is a high-quality sound with a different dimension of “can you even hear such phrases?”, this work is as high-quality sound as you would imagine with the words “like a sound board”. The full show is similar but different to Kyoto, depicted with the best sound. As mentioned above, the live albums of all the performances have been released with the two titles this week, so let’s classify them into “fixed songs” and “daily songs” that have been found after looking at everything. Fixed songs (12 songs) ・ Solitary Stranger: Too Late For Tears / Hunting Humans / Wolf To The Moon / Still I’m Sad / Black Masquerade / Ariel / Hall Of The Mountain King ・ Others: Difficult To Cure / Temple Of The King / Since You Been Gone / Perfect Strangers / Burn Daily songs (5 songs) ・ Semi-fixed songs: Spotlight Kid / Long Live Rock’n’Roll / Man On The Silver Mountain ・ Position-changing songs: Street Of Dreams / Maybe Next Time … and so on. “Fixed songs” are songs that were played at all performances in Japan in 1995, and “daily songs” are songs that were played more than six times out of nine performances. “Daily songs” are also divided into “semi-fixed songs” and “position-changing songs” depending on how they are used, and the former’s position was also decided in the first half of the show. As the show progresses, Richie’s mood is reflected in the second half, and various songs are decided on the spot, and of course the order of the songs becomes random. The songs that add such changes are called “position-changing songs.” And the Fukuoka performance of this work was a show with a small number of songs, along with the first day (11/11). Still, the first day was diverse in terms of the number of songs because there were many playful songs, but Fukuoka was also characterized by almost no play. If you think that “big is small,” you might think that it’s a bad show, but the interesting thing about music is that it’s not that simple. In the case of RAINBOW, a show with a lot of playfulness is fun and colorful, but it tends to be a bit distracting. However, if there is no play, like this work (Fukuoka), it becomes a concentration that piles up the killer songs in rapid succession. In fact, this work has many tense phrases in the improvisation, and the whole show proceeds in a serious mood. It is also a very tight and snappy show. This is a work of “KYOTO 1995 DAT MASTER” with rich sound and various playfulness, and a clear sound and sharp show. Although their personalities are completely opposite, both are superb beautiful sister works. A superb audience recording of the performance of “November 20, 1995: Kyushu Welfare Pension Hall”. It is a direct sound like a soundboard that is ferociously on and soundboard-like, and it is hard to believe that it is a spatial recording. The guitar and vocals are particularly wonderful, sharp to the very edge of the clear outline, and the fineness of the details stands out in the crystal clearness, and not only a word of the lyrics but also the breath level is clear. While the show has little play, the concentration of rapidly piling up the killer songs is wonderful. This is a new masterpiece that allows you to experience a sharp, serious and tight full show at its best.
