Description
This disc is an audience recording of the “February 4, 2014 Milton Keynes performance” and was created by a UK-based recording artist. He is a recording artist who is particular about achieving both warmth and clarity through DAT recording, and he has many fans. Even if it’s a band that doesn’t even check the audience recording, there are repeat customers who say, “If it’s the work of a master,” they say. This work is one that meets the expectations of such a “master brand.” The “Stables Theater” where the event took place is a venue with approximately 400 seats, and it is truly a master’s garden. Up until now, all bands have been using hyper-recording, and URIAH HEEP’s 2010s live albums “RETURN TO THE WILD” and “THE WILD BACK IN MILTON KEYNES” were praised by a specialized magazine as “high-quality sound that comes close to being an official bootleg.” ” and received rave reviews. The fact that he records URIAH HEEP every time shows that the master loves this band very much, but the sound of this work is also one that is fully familiar with the venue and the personality of URIAH HEEP. In particular, the intimate feeling of the small venue space was wonderful. Although it is not the type of “just like a sound board”, the rawness of the musical tone, more specifically, the sense of reality that “URIAH HEEP is there now” is amazing. Of course, you can clearly hear all the instruments, Bernie Shaw’s singing voice, and the chorus harmony, and it feels so realistic that you can even see the walls and floor of the venue from the music. Exactly because it is an audience recording, it is a sound that feels like a tactile feeling because it is a master recording. URIAH HEEP of 2014 is spelled out with such a real recording. This performance in Japan showed plenty of active feeling, but this work is even more than that. The show opens with “Against the Odds” from the 90’s masterpiece “SEA OF LIGHT”, and interweaves recent numbers such as “SONIC ORIGAMI”, “WAKE THE SLEEPER”, and “INTO THE WILD” with the 70’s repertoire. . In recent years, live performances in Japan have been strongly planned, such as the complete reproduction of “The Devil and the Wizard” six years ago, and the theme of “anti-nuclear” this time, but this work is “the usual URIAH HEEP” , it has a strong sense of “current URIAH HEEP”. That said, of course there’s no way we’ll forget the 70’s numbers. In addition to familiar numbers, they will also perform “Traveller In Time” and “Free ‘n’ Easy.” In particular, Disc 2 is a collection of the most representative songs in the 45-year history of URIAH HEEP! Because the new songs were released in the middle of the song, the rush at the end of the performance really heated up the venue. Not only does his performance exude an active feel, but he is also an extremely skilled performer. Although they are often forgotten in Japan, where only studio releases attract attention, URIAH HEEP has been on stage constantly since their debut (in fact, 1981 is the only year in which no live record can be found). Exactly, the live feeling created by 45 years of continuity overflows. There are many bands that have been around for a long time in rock history, but is there any band other than URIAH HEEP that can boast such a rich live career? This is a song that has been rocking for 45 years, and even though they don’t follow trends, they still have the feeling of being a “current band.” This is a great recording of a live show that only the current URIAH HEEP can do, captured by a master from his home country.
