Description
From the THIN LIZZY tribute tour that was held in Japan in 1994, with John Sykes, Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, and others reuniting, 6 performances other than the Miyagi performance are available as the finest audience source. The big title packaged in the package has been decided to be officially released! Of course, everything is completely new to the market, and the original DAT master, which is completely unknown even among traders, is used directly. You can learn all about the special Japan tour that gave fans deep emotion and a strong impact with the highest quality sound. Including “Vol.1” which contains the first three performances from the 18th to the 22nd, and “Vol.2″ which contains the latter three performances from the 23rd to the 25th, it is a huge volume of 12 discs! This work can definitely be called the biggest title of the year for all THIN LIZZY fans! For John Sykes, THIN LIZZY was a band that had a very strong fondness for, including memories with Phil Lynott, although their period of activity was short. Although “THUNDER AND LIGHTNING” released in 1983 received great acclaim, it must have been complicated for Sykes to have to produce an album and tour with the assumption that they would disband. In 1993, 10 years after THIN LIZZY’s disbandment, after the end of the Japan tour accompanying the release of “NOTHIN’ BUT TROUBLE”, he energetically reached out to various parties and realized his long-awaited reunion of the members. Led by original member Brian Downey, Scott Gorham, who was a key figure in Twin Reed, and Darren Wharton, who was active in the 1980s as keyboards, were joined, with Sykes himself serving as guitar and vocalist. After arranging the lineup of “THUNDER AND LIGHTNING” at the time (Marco Mendoza, who co-starred with BLUE MURDER, was in charge of the bass), a special tribute live tour was held only in Japan in November 1994. The first half of this work, “Vol. 1”, includes three performances, starting with the first performance in Saitama and Kawaguchi, the second performance in Shibuya, and the fourth performance at Tokyo Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, which is also known for its sound board sound source. ! The Miyagi performance on November 20th has not been recorded, but for THIN LIZZY fans in Japan and around the world, you can fully and thoroughly relive the historic live performances with the finest sound! Discs 1 and 2 include the Kawaguchi performance on November 18th, which was the first day. It is said that the live performance was a little difficult in terms of attracting customers, but if you think about it the other way around, you can say that the fans who attended this live performance were the most enthusiastic LIZZY fans (or Sykes fans) (female) One of its characteristics is that you can hear a lot of cheering.) The excitement is clearly conveyed from the opening song “Jailbreak”. Although the recording is a little far away, it has excellent brightness and good balance. In addition to Sykes’ guitar and vocals, you can also hear the distinctive tones of Marco Mendoza’s bass in a realistic manner. “Waiting For An Alibi” and “Don’t Believe A Word” can be said to be takes that take advantage of the goodness of this recording. In addition, the realistic sound image will entertain you with the ideal sound even in “Angel Of Death”. As this is the first live performance by these members in 11 years, the performance may feel a little stiff at times, but the band’s motivation is high. The live show is held with the high morale you would expect from the first day, and it’s a lot of fun to listen to, from “The Boys Are Back In Town” to “Thunder And Lightning” (even the closing announcement and BGM after the live show are recorded with very realistic sound) ). What was recorded on Discs 3 and 4 is the second performance, November 19th, which was the first performance in Tokyo at Shibuya Public Hall. Although the brightness was even, the atmosphere was more expansive than the previous day, and it was clear from the mood at the opening intro, the siren at the beginning of “Jailbreak,” and the applause and cheers from the audience. Since the live performance in Tokyo has been a long wait for many fans, every song has been very exciting, but the songs from “THUNDER AND LIGHTNING” have been particularly well-received, and the chorus of “Cold Sweat” has people singing along. . The melodious “The Sun Goes Down” has fans listening carefully during the performance, but the applause and cheers after the performance are very impressive. The grandeur of “Angel Of Death”, which is a medley of Darren Wharton’s keyboard solo from the same song, pleases the audience as a live highlight here as well. Furthermore, on the speedy cutting “Are You Ready” and the heavy “Bad Reputation”, Sykes shows off his unique and flavorful vocals, as if Phil Lynott has taken over. His performance also makes us keenly aware of his strong feelings for Phil. The encore begins with a wonderful mood from “Rosalie,” to the epic “Black Rose,” and the final song “Thunder And Lightning,” ending with a peak of excitement. ). Discs 5 and 6 contain the live performance at the Tokyo Kosei Nenkin Kaikan on November 22nd, the fourth day of the tour. On the 22nd, the sound board sound source has been on the market for about 15 years, and it has been familiar to enthusiasts for a long time. As has been known since then, this day was a live performance that was said to be one of the best in Japan, with great excitement and wonderful performances. In this recording, the live performance is packaged with a sense of presence backed by a realistic spread of sound and excellent listening ease! The heat you can experience here is something you can’t experience on a sound board. Of course, the balance between clearness and performance is good, and the listener will be drawn into the performance from the opening “Jailbreak” and “Waiting For An Alibi”. In addition to the familiar songs, the audience also got excited about songs such as “Emerald,” “Suicide,” and “Got To Give It Up.” The band’s play, supported by the loud cheers, has become more and more polished, and their passionate performance of “Still In Love With You”, which lasts for 9 minutes, will impress any listener! Sykes was also in a good mood due to the greatness of the live performance, and it was impressive that he was laughing happily before playing “Rosalie”. “Black Rose,” in which the band put their heart and soul into it, can be called a masterpiece. During the explosive “Thunder And Lightning,” both the band and the audience were completely on fire. The end of this work “Vol.1” ends with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction! The large volume, approximately 100 minutes per performance and nearly 300 minutes across three shows, will make all listeners from “Vol. 1” of this work experience an overwhelming spectacle. By enjoying “Vol.2” which will be released at the same time, listeners will be able to fully experience the excitement of the venue and the mood unique to a special live performance, which could not be known from the soundboard sound source that has already been released! Of course, the sound board sound source that allows you to enjoy playing with official-grade sound is wonderful, but precisely because it is such a historic live, the finest audience recording like this work has value as a record.
