Rory Gallagher/Tokyo,Japan 1.25.1974

Contains the Nakano Sunplaza performance on January 25, 1974, from the legendary Rory Gallagher’s first visit to Japan, who released his masterpiece “Tattoo” in the studio recording the previous year and established an unshakable position as a solo artist. Not only this performance but also the 1974 performance in Japan, which has received great acclaim, has almost no sound source for each performance until now, but this item is the final encore song that has not been confirmed until now. A total of 145 minutes, completely recorded for the first time, from the audience master tape owned by the recorder. First of all, the opening song “Messin’ With The Kid” will start with a performance that symbolizes this day’s heated live performance, which lasts for more than 8 minutes. The second song, “I Wonder Who,” is a simple 12-bar slow blues song, which is also 8 minutes long with a variety of sound creations using volume and toggle switches, and improvisation featuring mutes, picking harmonics, and sticky bending. In the following “Cradle Rock”, Rory captivates the audience with a bottleneck performance that is unique to Rory. The highlight of the first half, “Tattoo’d Lady,” is played with emphasis on music and melody in the first half, and it is an excellent composition that could be put together with a passable performance as it is, but from the second half… The atmosphere changes completely, and the band is filled with ideas and can’t stop improvising, and the performance continues for 17 minutes. In the acoustic set in the middle of the concert, he entertained with a variety of talents and tones, including mandolin, national resonator, and flat top, and after returning to electric, he improvised every song for a long time, and it was amazing how he played on this day. You can hear how well it was, and at the end of the encore, “Bo Diddley” will be played for 17 minutes. There are a few breaks due to tape changes, and there is a place where the sound becomes small for about 10 seconds twice in the first song, but this performance, which was probably the longest concert at this time, is almost completely recorded. Among all the performances in 1974 and Rory Gallagher’s titles currently in circulation, the most valuable and most important title is now available. A masterpiece title that completely records the 2 hours and 25 minutes of the Tokyo performance on January 25th from the first Japan tour in 1974 as a high-quality audience recording from the original master. It is a gem that has been highly praised as the definitive edition of the 1974 Japan tour to this day.
