Santana Santana/Osaka,Japan 2000 Complete

Not only was it a big hit, but the masterpiece “SUPERNATURAL” after 2000, which swept up to nine Grammy awards, is now available as an original recording that allows you to experience the best of the glorious Japanese performance. This work is recorded at the “April 27, 2000: Osaka Festival Hall” performance. It is a superb audience recording that captures the whole story. Speaking of the 2000 Japan tour, the classic TV broadcast pro shot and the large-scale collaboration album “BUDOKAN 2000” with Eric Clapton are also popular. First, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check each position. ・April 22: Tokyo International Forum ・April 23: Tokyo International Forum ←※TV broadcast ・April 24: Yokohama Prefectural Hall ・April 26: Nagoya Labor Hall ・April 27: Osaka Festival Hall ←★This work★ ・April 28 “BUDOKAN 2000 (Clapton collaboration)” All 6 performances. Of these, four performances were concentrated in the Kanto region, and both the TV broadcast and the Clapton performance took place in Tokyo. In contrast, this work is Osaka. It was a concert the day before the Clapton performance. This work, recorded at such a show, is a superb audience recording. The one who made it was a famous recording artist who was active in Osaka from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Our shop has reprinted this master collection from the original master, and it is still fresh in our memory that Uli Jon Roth’s “OSAKA 2001 FRONT ROW” became a hot topic recently. As is clear from that super famous board, the essence of this master is the skill of the guitar sound. That is why this work, which is the SANTANA edition, was destined to become a masterpiece. In fact, this work has an ultra-clear air feeling that is transparent, and the vivid core penetrates straight through the center to the edge. As expected, you can’t expect the same direct feeling as the Uli edition, which picked up the sound of the amplifier in the front row, but instead the well-balanced balance of the entire band is the best. The sound is fresh, and the hall sound does not hide the details, but only produces a delicious dynamism. Such a vivid sound depicts a full show of SANTANA, which seems to enjoy the spring of our world. As mentioned above, the TV broadcast of the International Forum performance reigned as a symbol of the 2000 Japan tour, and the highest peak update board “TOKYO INTERNATIONAL FORUM 2000” was also released at the same time. Here, let’s organize the set while comparing it. Supernatural・Love Of My Life／Put Your Lights On／Africa Bamba／Day Of Celebration／Maria Maria／(Da le) Yaleo／Migra／SmoothOther・Santana: Soul Sacrifice(★)／Evil Ways(★)・Guardian of Heaven: Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen/Oye Como Va・Santana III: Batuka(★)／No One To Depend On(★)・Other: Europa (Earth’s Cry, Heaven’s Smile)(★)／Bacalao Con Pan(★)／Apache(★)／Victory Is Won※Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the simultaneously released “TOKYO INTERNATIONAL FORUM 2000”. …And so it goes. The set itself, which changed every day, was delicious, but even more than that, it was the mood of a great success. The heat and fulfillment of the performance could be experienced in the TV broadcast pro shots, but the enthusiasm of the audience at the scene was unique to the audience. Of course, since they were SANTANA’s audience, they couldn’t make a fuss without listening to the performance, and while they were quiet during the performance, they burst into applause like a geyser between songs. And the tension of the performance that is cultivated in the long interplay calls for a roar in the venue, which pours further energy into the performance. In this work, the contrast is recorded in a super-realistic way, and the audience is reminded of the obvious fact that they are also part of the show. This sense of breathing and experience is something that only the audience can experience. This work is also one that allows you to enjoy it at the highest level. There will be no incidents like Clapton’s jump-in, and it is not an official substitute pro shot like “TOKYO INTERNATIONAL FORUM 2000”. Yes, that is not the best part of this work. Experience the “SUPERNATURAL Tour” in the midst of a historic success with ultra-realistic sound. This is all there is to it. If possible, I would like to experience that performance in Japan again. This is the best original master that will make it happen with a skin feel. This is the best audience recording of the “April 27, 2000: Osaka Festival Hall” performance. This is the original master of a master recordist who was making masterpieces in Osaka at the time, and the ultra-clear air is transparent, and the vivid core penetrates straight through the center to the edge. The sound is fresh, and the hall sound does not hide the details, but only the dynamism is deliciously produced. This is a full live album where you can enjoy a lot of famous songs that you can’t hear in the classic Tokyo performance pro shots, such as “Soul Sacrifice”, “Evil Ways”, “Batuka”, “No One To Depend On”, “Europa”, “Bacalao Con Pan”, “Apache”, etc. Live at Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan 27th April 2000 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1(63:40) 1.
