Description
In 1979, VAN HALEN sent “Legendary Bomber” to 6th place in the United States and trampled the world with their long-awaited headlining tour. A new soundboard album that pours the full show directly into your brain has been discovered. What is recorded in this work is “July 6, 1979 West Palm Beach performance”. It is a transcendental stereo sound board recording. Speaking of “WORLD VACATION Tour 1979”, it is a time when the sound board situation has rapidly developed in recent years, such as “TUCSON 1979” and “OSAKA 1979 2ND NIGHT” the other day. This work is a new excavation sound board that further accelerates such momentum. Before we look at the quality, we should first consider the show’s position. Let’s check out the overall picture of the world tour along with the above two titles. [“Legendary Bomber” released on March 23rd] ・March 25th – June 10th: North America #1 (51 performances) ・June 14th – 29th: Europe (12 performances) ・July 5th -August 26: North America #2 (31 performances) ←★Coco★・September 3-13: Japan (7 performances) ← *OSAKA 1979 2ND NIGHT ・September 18-October 7: North America # 3 (12 performances) ← *TUCSON 1979《Production of “Dark Law” started in December》This is VAN HALEN in 1979. “TUCSON 1979” was also a North American tour, but the legs were different, and this work was in the middle of the “WORLD VACATION Tour”. This was the second concert of “North America #2”, which had just returned from Europe. Now, this work unearthed from such a show is a truly shocking transcendental soundboard. If you compare it with “TUCSON 1979” since it’s from North America… it’s very similar. Of course, they call out “West Palm Beach!!” at the opening, and the performance and mix are completely different. However, in this work you can fully enjoy the feeling of being directly connected to the table, such as the exposed core, the vibrating details of the guitar strings and drum skin, the bread that flies wildly left and right, etc. If I had to pick a difference from “TUCSON 1979”, this one is clearer. If you experienced that super masterpiece, you might think, “What’s so cloudy about TUCSON 1979?”, but this is the truth. When I listened to it again, I realized that “TUCSON 1979” was recorded with the sound pressure at its peak, with the feeling that “If I raise it any higher, it’s going to get jammed.” However, in this work, even when the sound pressure is at its peak, and when everyone is working together in fortissimo, It feels relaxed, and as a result, the relaxed nuance remains intact from beginning to end. The three-dimensional effect of the ensemble is deeper, and the elongation of the notes is even more beautiful. Of course, both “TUCSON 1979” and this work are of a transcendental class that requires no questions asked, but if you were asked, “Which one will take the throne?”, you would have no choice but to mention this work. It is such an apex update soundboard album. Moreover, this work also carries out a “one-time effort” that raises the peak of such a shocking sound board. In fact, the original sound released online was severely out of pitch, but that was thoroughly adjusted. It was properly arranged and faithfully reproduced the sound produced at the scene. What is depicted with such shocking sound is 90 minutes that combines the momentum unique to the early days and the scale of a full set. The setlist is the standard one for the “WORLD VACATION Tour,” but it will also serve as an introductory one in the future, so I’d like to repost it just in case. Flame Fuse (8 songs + α)・Runnin’ With The Devil/On Fire/Jamies Cryin’/Feel Your Love Tonight/Ice Cream Man/Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love/You Really Got Me/Atomic Punk Legendary Bombing Ki (7 songs)・Light Up The Sky/Somebody Get Me A Doctor/Dance The Night Away/Beautiful Girls/You’re No Good/Outta Love Again/Bottoms Up! Concentrate and reduce two copies of “Legendary Bomber”. Even if you pay attention to each song, the stage tension will explode, and the natural ups and downs of a single show as a whole are wonderful. The energy that had been confined within the framework of analog LPs was released all at once, and rock music that could be said to be even better than the historical masterpieces “Flame no Tuse” and “Legendary Bomber” was blown out. I’m full so far, but this work also includes some delicious bonuses. “Dance The Night Away” and “Beautiful Girls” are additionally recorded from rehearsals for the tour. Although the rehearsal sound source has been known for a long time, this work is a master that was discovered as a set with the live main part. In this work, we recorded it as is while adjusting the balance to make it easier to listen to the main live soundboard. It was so amazing that I found myself saying, “It’s even better than “Fuse of Flame” or “Legendary Bomber,” but no matter how many times I listen to it again, I still feel the same way. The sound combines a transcendent feeling of being directly connected to the table and a sense of ease, the tension of the performance as it was only their second performance back in Japan, and the concentration of famous songs… I can only think that there is nothing better than this in every respect. Rather than being a masterpiece of one band called VAN HALEN, this is a live album that may be the best masterpiece of the music genre “rock”. Super-class stereo soundboard recording of “July 6, 1979 West Palm Beach Performance”. The exposed core, the vibrating details of the guitar strings and drum skin, the wildly flying left and right bread, etc., give it a tremendous sense of being directly connected to the table. Furthermore, the natural smoothness and beauty of the sound can even surpass that super masterpiece “TUCSON 1979″. While concentrating the masterpieces of the first two albums, each song explodes with stage tension, and the natural ups and downs of one show as a whole are wonderful. This is a live album that bursts out rock that can be said to be even better than “Flame no Fuse” or “Legendary Bomber”. Includes 2 bonus songs from tour rehearsal.
