Ry Cooder/Tokyo,Japan 6.27.1988

Ry Cooder came to Japan for the third time in 1988 with his long-awaited solo album “GET RHYTHM.” Introducing an original recording where you can experience the best of the scene where even Steven Tyler of AEROSMITH appears. This work includes the “June 27, 1988: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall” performance. It is a transcendental audience recording. Speaking of coming to Japan in 1988, the FM sound board of the Nakano Sun Plaza performance is also known as a standard, but of course this work is a different performance. In order to understand the situation, let’s take a look at the schedule at that time.・June 24th: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ・June 25th: Shibuya Public Hall ・June 27th: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall ←★Here★ ・June 28th: ​​Nakano Sunplaza ・June 29th: Nakano Sunplaza ←*FM broadcast, all 5 performances. Although it was broadcast on the last day, this work was a concert before the two performances. This work, which permanently preserves such a show, is truly a superb live album with a “super” quality. The extra-thick core jumps into your ears without any sense of distance, and the details are super delicate. Although it absorbs a faint sound from the hall, it does not create a sense of space, but it adds a rich dynamism and luster to the playing sounds and singing voices. In fact, compared to Nakano Sunplaza’s standard sound board, it is not inferior at all, and in fact, this work feels more natural. If the scene was not in Japan, it is a super exquisite sound full of elegance that you would think that Mike Millard would have recorded it. Actually, there’s a reason why it sounds like that. In fact, the person who recorded this work is a master who is talked about as a legend in the history of Japanese recording. At the opening of our store, you may have often seen him described as “a man who is said to surpass even the famous Kinney” and “it is no exaggeration to call him a Japanese mirror.” Mainly in the 80’s, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger, the Stones, PINK FLOYD, SANTANA, etc. left recordings that are representative of Western music audience recording, and recently Linda Ronstadt’s “BUDOKAN 1984″ and Prince “YOKOHAMA STADIUM 1986 2ND NIGHT” and U2’s “U2 – OSAKA 1989 2ND NIGHT” became a hot topic. This work is a collection directly digitized from the master’s original cassette. It is a full show with a sound that exceeds even the official FM broadcast, with the FM sound board not even close to the feet. After all, the radio broadcast was only a digest according to the broadcast time frame, which was less than 45 minutes, but this work is over 2 hours and 20 minutes in one go. Let’s organize the set here so that you can experience the large volume. Classics (10 songs) – First: How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live? (★) / Do Re Mi – Purple Gorge: Vigilante Man (★) – Paradise and Lunch: Jesus on the Mainline – Chicken Skin Music: Goodnight, Irene (★) / Bop Drop Deluxe: Little Sister / Go Home, Girl (★) / The Very Thing That Makes You Rich (Makes Me Poor) (★) / Down in Hollywood (★)・Borderline: Crazy ’bout an Automobile (★) Get Rhythm (7 songs) ・Low Commotion / Let’s Have A Ball (★) / Thirteen Question Method (★) / Across the Borderline (★) / Going Back to Okinawa ( ★) / Get Rhythm / All Shook Up (★: co-starring Steven Tyler) Others (4 songs) – Hold That Snake (★) / Down In Mississippi / Just A Little Bit (★) / Chain Gang *Note: “★” The marked songs are songs that cannot be heard on the FM soundboard at the Nakano Sunplaza performance. …and it looks like this. Usually, I mark songs that I want to draw attention to with a ★, but for this work, I would like you to pay close attention to the number of marks. In the first place, the show itself is different from FM broadcasting, so the set is also different, but even if you take that into account, it is an order of magnitude different. Of the 21 songs performed in this work, 14 songs, or 2/3, cannot be heard on the broadcast. And the contents are also special. The collection ranges from early songs from the 70’s to soundtrack songs from the 80’s that were provided for various movies, but the two core pieces are “BOP TILL YOU DROP” and the latest work “GET RHYTHM.” In particular, the latter features all songs except “Women Will Rule the World” and “I Can Tell by the Way You Smell,” and the members are the same as on the album. Not only Rai’s extremely rich slide and vocals, but also the plump accordion of Flaco Jimenez, the supple beat of Jim Keltner, and the rich vocalizations of Terry Evans and Bobby King…all of which… GET RHYTHM”, and the world of masterpieces expanded with the excitement of live performance. The highlight of such a show is “All Shook Up”. AEROSMITH’s Steven Tyler, who had finished his Japan tour in Yokohama the day before, jumped in to participate. You can enjoy the gorgeous co-starring that intertwines that singing voice and the slide of Rye (the one word “It’s creepy!” is very Steven-like: lol). In 1988, Ry Cooder released his first album in five years, “GET RHYTHM,” and came to Japan for the first time in nine years. This is a masterpiece of a live album where you can fully enjoy the full show with super superb sound that surpasses even FM broadcasts. This is a cultural heritage that should be talked about as a world-class musical piece, just like the mirrored recordings, rather than just reliving memories of visiting Japan. Superb audience recording of “June 27, 1988: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall”. This is a masterpiece that has been digitized directly from the original master of a legendary master who is even compared to “Japan’s mirrored”, and the extremely thick core flies into your ear without any sense of distance, and the details are extremely delicate. Even compared to the standard Nakano Sunplaza FM sound board, it is not inferior at all, and in fact, this work has a more natural feel. You can fully enjoy the full show, which is more than three times the size of the standard FM broadcast, and Steven Tyler, who was visiting Japan, also jumped in for “All Shook Up”. This is a world-renowned cultural heritage album from Japan. Live at Koseinenkin Kaikan, Tokyo, Japan 27th June 1988 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 (74:23) 1. Low-Commotion 2.
