Robin Trower/Tokyo,Japan 1.28.1977

Robin Trower, who delivered Jimi Hendrix guitars ahead of Frank Marino and Ulrich Roth (SCORPIONS), came to Japan for the first time. The original recording that allows you to experience the legendary scene in the best way is now available for the first time in the world. This work is recorded from the “January 28, 1977: Nakano Sun Plaza performance”. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of Robin’s legendary first visit to Japan, the masterpieces “MISTY NIGHT” and “2ND NIGHT IN TOKYO” are well known, but this work is a completely different performance. In order to understand the situation around there, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time. ・January 22 “MISTY NIGHT (Nakano)” ・January 24 “2ND NIGHT IN TOKYO (Nakano)” ・January 25: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ・January 26: Nagoya City Public Hall ・January 28: Nakano Sun Plaza ←★This work★A total of 5 performances. “MISTY NIGHT” and “2ND NIGHT IN TOKYO” were also held at Nakano Sun Plaza, but they were the two consecutive performances at the beginning of their visit to Japan. In contrast, this work was the final day of the tour when they returned to Tokyo after finishing in Western Japan. It was the very last live in Japan. This work, which vacuum-packs such a historic scene, is not only superb, but also unique and groundbreaking. It is the world’s first public recording given to us by the recordist himself, who has recently released amazing new excavation recordings. Some people may have heard of QUEEN, KISS, AEROSMITH, etc. in the 1970s, but when talking about this work, I would like you to remember the masterpiece “KORAKUEN 1978” by Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush. It is the recording by Robin Trower, the recordist who worked on that cultural heritage album! In fact, the sound of this work is also similar to that great masterpiece, and it is clear, neat, and powerful. However, it is not “too similar”. The point is the recording position. As you can see from the ticket image, it is a very unique position called “1st floor row 0”. Apparently, on the day, the seats were set up even further forward than the usual front row, and the position was so close that it was almost parallel to the PA. And in this work, that strange closeness is reflected as sound. The sound emitted by Robin’s Marshall, which was literally “in front of my eyes”, is directly inhaled, and the tone has zero sense of space. The extremely thick and close guitar roars, just like a soundboard. However, if you imagine a complete soundboard-like sound, that is also a little different. Robin’s Marshall is in front of you, and the guitar is zero distance. Conversely, it cannot be denied that James Dewar’s vocals are a little distant. The contrast between the insanely on guitar, the rhythm section that corresponds to it, and the somewhat anna-balanced vocals is unfortunate. The final performance in Japan, depicted with such a close-fitting guitar, is truly worthy of the name of a legend. Speaking of Robin in 1977, the official King Biscuit Flower Hour album “ROBIN TROWER IN CONCERT” is famous, so let’s compare the set and organize it here. Soul Guitar (6 songs) Lady Love / Bridge Of Sighs / The Fool And Me / Too Rolling Stoned / Day Of The Eagle / Little Bit Of Sympathy Long Misty Days (4 songs) Same Rain Falls (★) / Caledonia (★) / Long Misty Days (★) / Messin’ The Blues Others (3 songs) Robin Trower: Daydream / Rock Me Baby (★) Far Away Earth: Alethea (★) *Note: The “★” mark indicates a song that cannot be heard on “KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR IN CONCERT”. …And so on. The set itself is the same as the first day’s “MISTY NIGHT”, but since it was paused between songs while waiting for the encore, it was contained in one disc. 1977 is also remembered as the “year of IN CITY DREAMS”, but their visit to Japan was six months before that. The band’s early masterpieces are performed in abundance, centered on their latest work at the time, “LONG MISTY DAYS”, and their masterpiece “BRIDGE OF SIGHS”. There is no mark, but “Bridge Of Sighs”, “The Fool And Me”, and “Day Of The Eagle” are repertoires that cannot be heard even on the traditional album “ROBIN TROWER LIVE”. This is a newly excavated live album of cultural heritage class that allows you to experience the legendary scene at its best with a unique sound. Of course, the guitar, which is the main character of the show, is the main character of the sound, so there is no harm in it. Even though the show itself is legendary, you can experience it from a special seat of a miracle. Although it was released by the Uxbridge label because it requires some explanation, this new masterpiece is comparable in quality and significance to Frank Marino’s “KORAKUEN 1978”. This is the world’s first public recording of the “January 28, 1977: Nakano Sun Plaza Performance”. It is a clear, neat and powerful masterpiece, but at the same time, it is unique. This original recording was recorded from the “1st floor row 0” further forward than the usual front row, and it directly inhales the sound emitted by Robin’s Marshall, which was literally “right in front of you”. This is a new masterpiece of cultural heritage class that allows you to fully experience the legendary final performance in Japan with an ultra-direct guitar sound.
