Suzi Quatro/Australia 2011

In 2011, Suzy Quatro released the masterpiece “IN THE SPOTLIGHT”, which aimed to return to her roots, and went on the biggest Australian tour of her career. The best live album that conveys the scene is now available. This work includes “October 4, 2011 Geelong Performance”. It’s probably the best audience recording… It suddenly became weak, but it is a live album with an amazing sound. Before touching on the quality, first let’s talk about the show’s position. In 2011, live activities were held for the first time in a while, and the main focus was the Australian tour. Let’s look back at the schedule at that time. ・March 26th – July 16th: Europe (9 performances) [“IN THE SPOTLIGHT” released on August 5th] ・August 10th: Performed at MAGIC NIGHT 2011 ・September 16th – October 16th: Australia (20 performances) ←★Coco★・October 29: STEINEGG LIVE FESTIVAL performance・November 13: Moscow performance This is Suzy Quatro in 2011. Although they are active, Australia is the only place that can be called a “tour” where they repeat stages almost every day. She is more popular in Europe and Australia than in her home country of the United States, and her 2011 Australian tour in particular had the largest number of performances in history. Among them, the Geelong performance of this work was the 14th concert out of a total of 20 performances. This work recorded at such a show has a super superb sound as mentioned at the beginning. Anyway, the core is very thick and it sticks tightly. The direct feeling can only be thought of as a “sound board!?”, but the cheers and clapping that erupt between songs are clearly recorded by the audience. It is possible that the clapping from the microphone was overdubbed into the sound board audio, but from the perspective of the total presence, it feels like “If you are betting, vote for the guest record”… In any case, it is definitely a live album that you can fully enjoy with such a superb sound. And what is drawn with such direct sound is a full show that aggregates not only famous songs of yesteryear but also a wide range of famous songs. Let’s organize the set here and get a feel for its breadth. 70’s/80’s (17 songs)・Queen of Sadistic Rock: 48 Crash/Glycerine Queen・Intoxicating Idol: The Wild One/Too Big/Devil Gate Drive/Keep A Knockin’・Rock Dedicated to Mama: Your Mama Won ‘t Like Me・Quatro White Paper: Wake Up Little Susie/Tear Me Apart・Message from Susie: Stumblin’ In/If You Can’t Give Me Love・The Secret of Letter Words: I’ve Never Been in Love /She’s in Love With You・Rock Hard・Others: Can The Can/I May Be Too Young/Sweet Little Rock ‘N’ Roller 90’s onwards (8 songs)・UNRELEASED EMOTION: Can I Be Your Girl?・BACK TO THE DRIVE: Rockin’ in the Free World/I Don’t Do Gentle ・IN THE SPOTLIGHT: A Girl Like Me/Spotlight/Whatever Love Is/Hurt With You/Strict Machine…And so it goes like this. Masu. Along with a lineup of killer songs from their debut to “ROCK HARD”, there are also numbers from the 90’s onwards that are rarely heard live. Particularly important are the five songs from “IN THE SPOTLIGHT,” which was the latest work at the time. The repertoire that he teamed up with Mike Chapman, who was his partner in his heyday, revives the charm of yesteryear while remaining fresh. Although she was 61 years old at the time, her singing voice cannot be said to be youthful, but her vigor and passion are unmistakable. It is a stage that proves the seriousness of returning to the roots and the silent sound. This is a masterpiece of a live album where you can enjoy the full show of the “IN THE SPOTLIGHT” era with the best sound that was aimed at the heyday of the 70’s. Although it is from the same world, it is a two-disc set where you can enjoy plenty of new masterpieces that are not just nostalgia.
