Stray Cats/Tokyo,Japan 1.31.2004

Sonic Mania 04 Part 2! Although Lee Locker is absent, Brian Setzer & Slim Jim Phantom appear at Sonic Mania with Mark Winchester on a wood base! (It’s under the name Ichiou Stray Cats) The live performance at Makuhari Messe on January 31st, which was the big event, is completely recorded in ultra-high sound quality with the immersive feeling only possible with Sylph! The content is “Stray Cats”, a full-throttle 3-piece that fans can’t stand! It’s different from the swing style of an orchestra!! It’s a hot, manly performance!! The set list is different by one song, On this day, they are performing “BUILT FOR SPEED”. Pretty crazy performance! ! Anyway, it’s thrilling and cool! There are a lot of dangerous parts, but that’s actually cool, isn’t it? Introducing a memorial item that fans will not be able to resist! In addition, there is some noise in a few places, but this is due to the master. (Review) Speaking of the definitive version of the Japan performance, the now standard Silf label is sure to release the Japan performance, and the whole story of the show will be happy for fans who participated in the live performance and fans who were not able to participate. It’s a really nice CD to be delivered to. The sound quality is of course based on the ultra-high quality DAT recording master, so it is reliable that it is not only easy to listen to with perfect sound, but also captures the atmosphere of the live performance perfectly. The characteristic feature is that the sound of the wood base can be heard clearly, with a crisp feel rather than a deep bass. The sound quality is so stable that you will forget that it is an audience recording. As expected, the song is composed of a trio, so the improvisation is very different from that of an orchestra, and the impression that it is rougher than 68 Come Back Special is probably due to Slim Jim’s standing drums. We hope you enjoy the latest live performance from Brian, who has been showing his energy since the beginning of 2004.
