Roger Waters/Germany 1990 Japanese Broadcast Edition

A special one-off “THE WALL Live” different from 1980/1981 and 2010-2013. It comes in a special version with full Japanese subtitles for the lyrics. The special edition of THE WALL was performed on “July 21, 1990”. It was a historic concert held in Berlin on the eve of the unification of East and West Germany (about 10 weeks before) after the wall collapsed the previous year. Yes, it is a multi-camera pro shot that is familiar from the official video work “THE WALL: LIVE IN BERLIN”. At the time, it was a big topic that “Finally, you can see the stage version of THE WALL in a pro shot!” It was a must-see video for all progressive rock fans, but of course this work is not a copy of the official product. This video is a major event that symbolizes the end of the Cold War between East and West, and was also broadcast on television. This work is the Japanese broadcast version that was broadcast on a certain satellite broadcasting station. [Long version with a sense of the era at the end of the Cold War] You may think, “Why now, when there is an official version?”, but this broadcast version far surpasses the official version. First of all, it is long. The official DVD was about 110 minutes long, but this work is more than 5 minutes longer. The difference is clear from the beginning. The product version starts with the appearance scene of SCORPIONS in a white limousine after the title logo, but this work starts before that. This show was also a charity concert by the British charity organization “Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief”, and greetings from its organizer Leonard Cheshire and the mayors of East and West Berlin are also recorded. Don’t underestimate it as just a greeting. At that time, East and West Germany had not yet been unified, and there was one mayor of Berlin in East and West (Tino Swiaczna and Walter Momper). Such a sense of the era is reflected in Ariali. Even more significant is the middle of the show. A charity notice is also inserted between “Goodbye Cruel World” and “Hey You” just as the original album is turning over. This is not a TV commercial, but a part of the show that seamlessly transitions from the scene at the scene. The charity aims to provide relief to war victims, and the significance of the charity is discussed along with archive footage of the war damage. I don’t know if they were collecting donations at the stage of the official video release, but you can also enjoy the charity color that was cut from the product version. [With Japanese subtitles that allow you to intuitively understand the concept] The long length alone is groundbreaking, but what’s even more pleasing is the Japanese subtitles. They are also attached to the lyrics. This is really wonderful. Not only “THE WALL”, but story albums and rock operas are driven by the story. If you are not fluent in English, it is difficult to understand the story. Of course, I’m sure there are many people who listen while reading the bilingual lyrics, but that is not suitable for live footage where the scenery is also important. It is also difficult to understand the story while syncing with the music that changes without stopping for a moment. However, this work comes with Japanese subtitles. It instantly heals that dryness, and you can immerse yourself in the story while being moved by the melody as if you were watching an ordinary Western movie. The conversational feel of the many cast members singing, the spectacle of the screen images unfolding as the song is narrated, the acting ability of opening your eyes while singing “You can see it when you look at my eyes”, etc. … The images, lyrics, and music are all connected in real time, giving you an impression that you can’t imagine it is the same video. It was so wonderful that I completely forgot to write it. The beauty of the images that convey the Japanese broadcast version is also noteworthy. Our shop archives many music programs with the finest masters by core record enthusiasts, and this work is the latest of them. This enthusiast not only uses high-end equipment from the era, but also pays attention to the reception conditions and wiring of the radio waves, and is a die-hard who is particular about the master storage environment after recording. It was also a hot topic with the footage of Michael Jackson and Prince’s performances in Japan, but this work is even more than that. The noiseless and glossy screen makes you wonder if it is an official LD? There is no need to talk about the many super luxurious guests, differences in arrangements, and numerous show productions, such as Bryan Adams, Van Morrison, Sinead O’Connor, Cyndi Lauper, Joni Mitchell, etc., which cannot be mentioned. This is the only “THE WALL” that has been engraved in our hearts. This is a long and special version complete with charity scenes and Japanese subtitles that further enhance that special sense of history, and is an absolute masterpiece that has been made into a DVD with the highest quality ever. Multi-camera pro shot of the “July 21, 1990 Berlin performance”. This is the Japanese broadcast version of the official video “THE WALL: LIVE IN BERLIN”. It is more than 5 minutes longer than the official product version, and it is a long version that can be seen with cut scenes such as greetings from the mayors of East and West Berlin and charity organizers and announcements calling for charity. What’s even more pleasing is the Japanese subtitles. The lyrics are displayed in bilingual, so you can intuitively understand the story of “THE WALL” in real time. Moreover, the beauty of the images by core record enthusiasts is like a laser disc. This is an absolute masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the 90’s version of “THE WALL” that was only made once.
