Suzi Quatro/Tokyo,Japan 6.13.1976

Susie Quatro was extremely popular in Japan in the 70s. A masterpiece original recording of her live in Japan vacuum packed is now available. Two titles of Susie’s original recordings will be released simultaneously for the first time worldwide. This work is the finest audience recording of the second edition, “June 13, 1976: Nakano Sunplaza Performance (Night Session)”. Although the titles are very similar, the simultaneously released “TOKYO 1975 2nd Night” is the “second visit to Japan”, and this work is the “third time”. As I mentioned in the explanation of its sister work, Susie’s popularity, which spread all over the country in the previous year (1975), has become even more popular. The scale has been significantly doubled, and a huge schedule of nearly 30 performances has been scheduled. To remember the situation, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time.・June 12th + 13th: Nakano Sunplaza (3 performances) ←★Here★ ・June 15th-19th: Meihan region (5 performances) ・June 20th-23rd: Chugoku/Shikoku region (4 performances) Performances) ・June 25th-28th: ​​Kyushu region (3 performances) ・June 30th: Shizuoka Sunpu Hall ・July 1st + 2nd: Kanto region (2 performances) ・July 4th-6th: Hokkaido (3 performances) July 7th-10th: Tohoku region (3 performances) July 11th + 12th: Hokuriku area (2 performances) July 13th: Shibuya Public Hall In total, 27 performances. There are also various theories about the number of performances depending on materials from the time, with some saying “24 performances” and “29 performances.” In any case, the volume is so huge that even if you organize it by region, it will still be this big. The overwhelming Japan tour so far has been with Ventures or Suzy at the time. And, such a historical tour starts from Nakano Sun Plaza. On the second day, “June 13th,” two performances were held during the day and night, and this work is a live album recorded during that night. This work, which conveys such a show, is truly a masterpiece. It is an original master from the same recording artist as the previous year’s work “TOKYO 1975 2nd Night” released at the same time, and the sound is very similar…However, no one has experienced it yet. To put it bluntly, it can be described in one word as “close direct”. Anyway, there is no sense of distance at all, and the core, which is strangely clear down to the smallest details, jumps into your ears. The clapping that was loud in the previous year’s “TOKYO 1975 2nd Night” is also subdued, making it even more like a soundboard… If you ignore the content of the show, it’s a super tight and vivid sound that sounds like a modern IEM recording. . What is drawn with such a straight-forward sound is a full show that connects the traditional official version “LIVE AND KICKIN’” and the previous year’s work “TOKYO 1975 2nd Night”. “LIVE AND KICKIN’” was born from the fourth performance in Japan (1977), but this work is the third. Let’s organize the sets while comparing them here. Queen of Sadistic Rock (3 songs)・All Shook Up (★)／Glycerine Queen／Shakin’ All Over (★) Euphoric Idol (4 songs)・The Wild One／Cat Size／Devil Gate Drive／Keep A Knockin’ Rock dedicated to mom (2 songs) ・Your Mama Won’t Like Me (★) / You Can Make Me Want You (But You Can’t Make Me Love You) (★) Others (5 songs) ・Quatro White Paper: Tear Me Apart・I Feel Good (★) / I May Be Too Young (★) / Can The Can・Cover: Jailhouse Rock (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official version “LIVE AND KICKIN’” . …and it looks like this. The lineup with the addition of Mike Deacon is the same as in “LIVE AND KICKIN’,” and the mood that starts with “The Wild One” is also reminiscent. On the other hand, the overall balance is rather close to the previous year’s work “TOKYO 1975 2nd Night”, with a style that includes “Tear Me Apart” and “I Feel Good” instead of some early songs and covers. And “I Feel Good” is the biggest highlight. Although the name of the song is unfamiliar, it is actually a special song written for the guests coming to Japan in 1976. Susie wrote the lyrics on the plane, and the Japanese staff translated the lyrics into Japanese. Even on stage, it is sung in Japanese. Moreover, the result is so much fun. It’s not just a play, it’s a well-written rock song that lasts about 4 minutes, but Suzy’s Japanese is so questionable that I can’t tell if she’s singing Nani (although I can understand the repeated “Let’s sing”). The applause after the performance was huge, so I could tell that the audience was happy, but the excitement during the performance was not so great, probably because they were wondering, “I wonder what they were singing,” since they were only singing in Japanese. It’s an extremely rare song, and it’s funny to see Suzy’s motivation go awry (just a little). In addition to such a full show, this work also includes additional delicious bonuses. These are two songs, “Can The Can” and “Tear Me Apart,” which were broadcast on a certain broadcasting company’s famous program “Let’s Go Young.” This is also the same recorder’s treasured air check master as the main story, and you can enjoy the Japan performance with the best official sound. Moreover, the intervals between songs are intense. The late program personality Himitsu Suzuki, Yazu○torubi, and Can○es will also appear. I’m going to do a surprise interview with Susie. The silly questions, the messed up Katakana-English translations, and the way Susie barely lets her speak are the “70s showbiz world” that numbs the core of your brain. This is also a super valuable sound board that was made possible because of Susie’s popularity at the time. A full show full of hit songs, plus a bonus track that overflows with joy and dizziness. This is a super masterpiece of a live album where you can experience the phenomenon that could only have happened in Japan in 1976 and Suzy Quatro with the best sound. What can you call this work if not a cultural heritage? A rare and shocking work, and an absolute masterpiece in the history of Japanese Western music.
