Suzi Quatro/CA,USA 1975 Mike Millard Master Cassette

The Mirrored Collection continues to discover amazing original masters. The latest work is that Suzy Quatro. This is the birth of a superb live album that allows you to meet her in her heyday, when she released “Queen of Sadistic Rock,” “Euphoric Idol,” and “Rock Dedicated to Mom” in quick succession. What is contained in this work is “June 17, 1975 Inglewood performance”. This is a transcendental audience recording recorded at “THE FORUM”, which has been the site of many mirrored legends. At that time, Susie was extremely popular in Europe and Japan, but she was lagging behind in her home country of America. In order to overcome this situation, they toured energetically as the opening act for Alice Cooper, who was at the height of her popularity at the time. In order to visualize those days, let’s first look back at an overview of our activities in 1975.・February 23rd – March 6th: UK (3 performances) ・March 25th – April 29th: North America #1 (19 performances) 《May 1st “YOUR MAMA WON’T LIKE ME”・May 1st – July 27th: North America #2 (51 performances) ←★Here★ ・August 30th – September 11th: Europe (4 performances) ・September 30th – October 19th: Japan (14 performances) ・November 1st: Adelaide performance This is Susie Quatro in 1975. However, in the case of Suzy, records from the 1970s are often ambiguous, and details such as the number of performances mentioned above are uncertain. Alice Cooper’s undercard tour corresponds to “North America #1-2”, but this was also initiated by Alice. In fact, there was a record of Alice at the Inglewood performance of this work, but it has long been unclear whether Susie had a stage. With this excavation, we have finally been able to confirm that it was there after all. In any case (assuming he was fully included in Alice’s US tour), the Inglewood performance of this work is the 31st performance of “North America #2”. This work recorded at such a show has a magical, super-excellent sound. Speaking of mirrored recordings in 1975, BLACK SABBATH’s “LONG BEACH ARENA 1975”, which was discovered earlier, was a big hit, but this work is also comparable to that super masterpiece. Anyway, the core is zero distance, the detail is on a sound board level, and yet the beauty of the natural and glossy sound surpasses even the official album… Anyway, even though I checked every point, I couldn’t find anything wrong, and the common sense of audience recording that I had experienced countless times collapsed. And one more thing. In 1975, it was important to check the equipment. This year is also known as a turning point for Millard, who used a “Shure microphone + Sony TC-152SD” in the first half, but switched to an “AKG microphone + Nakamichi 550” in the middle. Of course, the latter is superior, and this work was also recorded with that equipment. This is the earliest work using the equipment that has built the mirrored legend with numerous famous recordings. What is portrayed with such unparalleled beauty is a passionate performance of a man trying to conquer his home country, America. Speaking of Susie in the 70’s, “LIVE AND KICKIN’” is the standard, and the sound quality of this work is unmatched by anything other than the official work. Let’s compare and organize them here.・Queen of sadistic rock (3 songs): All Shook Up / Glycerine Queen (★) / Shakin’ All Over ・Euphoric idol (1 song): Keep A Knockin’ (★) ・Rock dedicated to mom (3 songs) : Your Mama Won’t Like Me/Michael/You Can Make Me Want You ・Others: Jam/Star Spangled Banner/Sweet Little Rock ‘N’ Roller *Note: “★” mark is official live work “LIVE AND KICKIN'” But it’s a song you can listen to. …and it looks like this. What you should be careful about is the handling of “★”. Usually, I give it to songs that cannot be heard in comparison works, but this time it’s the other way around. There are only two songs that are the same as “LIVE AND KICKIN'”, and if you add them as usual, they will be full of “★”. There is no duplication with “LIVE AND KICKIN’” and it is a fresh show. Moreover, the performance of singing such a set is wonderful. At that time, Suzy had made a breakthrough worldwide and was performing full-scale shows in various countries. All that remains is the home country…and the energy that should have been poured into a full show has been condensed into a duration of just under an hour. That’s why it runs at full speed from the beginning to the end. He expresses the frustration of not being able to succeed in his home country in his heavy sound, and lets out a wild roar that matches his heavy sound. Even after listening to the very popular Japanese performance, you can experience a surprisingly powerful show that will leave you wondering, “Was it really that tough?” “Susie Quatro x Mike Millard”…This is a collaboration album between two people who are both symbols of 70’s rock, yet have been passed down from generation to generation in completely different fields. She is trying her best to challenge her home country while succeeding all over the world, and the recording magician has begun to show her true potential.
