Santana/Tokyo,Japan 1991 TV Broadcast Edition

SANTANA came to Japan for the first time in five years in 1991 during their 25th anniversary tour. The best version of the iconic pro shot has been decided to be released. This work was shot at the “May 21, 1991: Nippon Budokan” performance. It is a multi-camera pro shot. For SANTANA, who has been visiting Japan consistently since their first visit in 1971, five years was the longest blank at the time. Moreover, the previous year was the “Sound Market: Rock in Karuizawa” in 1986, and they only participated in the festival format once. It was also the first time in eight years for both the national tour and the Nippon Budokan. First of all, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the show’s position.・May 15th: Osaka Festival Hall ・May 18th: Osaka Festival Hall ・May 17th: Fukuoka Sunpalace ・May 19th: Nagoya City Public Hall ・May 21st: Nippon Budokan ←★This work★ ・May 22nd: Kanagawa Prefectural Hall A total of 6 performances. The highlight performance was at the Nippon Budokan, and perhaps because a certain Japanese saxophonist performed as a guest, it was also broadcast on TV. It has reigned as a symbolic image of the time. This work is a newly excavated master that updates the highest quality of such a classic. Our shop archives numerous music programs with the finest original masters by core record enthusiasts, and this work is one of them. In particular, the enthusiast who provided this work is a person who became very popular with the masterpieces of Michael Jackson and Prince. In fact, this work is of the finest quality that meets expectations. Of course, the broadcast itself has an analog feel, but the recording, which paid close attention to the reception conditions and made full use of high-end equipment (at the time), is so precise that it seems to be a laser disc. Moreover, the condition of the master is amazing, with no sign of tape twist or deterioration over time. It may not have been played even once for 30 years since the broadcast, but the fresh beauty of the image, with no white line noise or discoloration or distortion in every corner of the screen, is so good that I would like it to be made into an official DVD as it is. Such beautiful images depict a monumental stage at the Budokan for the first time in 8 years, where a luxurious collaboration was realized. It is not a full performance because it follows the broadcast time frame of about 1 hour, but it is a special composition that focuses on the collaboration with the saxophonist. Finally, let’s summarize the contents. ・Santana: Jingo ・Guardian of Heaven: Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen/Oye Como Va ・Amigo: Europa (Earth’s Cry, Heaven’s Smile) ・Freedom: Mandela ・Spirits Dancing: Spirits Dancing In The Flesh ・Milagro: Somewhere In Heaven Although the early 90s was a commercially calm period, the stage was still rich and hot at the same time. This work is a semi-official video work that allows you to witness SANTANA in that era. The MC and interviews are fully subtitled in Japanese, and the camera work and sound production are perfect. Please enjoy it to the fullest with the highest peak master by a record enthusiast. A gift release of the Budokan pro shot, which was also a hot topic for its precious collaboration with a certain famous saxophonist. The original master by a core record enthusiast has official-class visual beauty, and you can enjoy the stage of the Nippon Budokan for the first time in eight years.
