Description
“WORLD INVASION Tour” is an unexplored sound source area even for the original VAN HALEN. The legendary recording that is his masterpiece has been brushed up. What is sealed in the legendary recording is “June 23, 1980 London Performance”. This is a superb audience recording recorded at the famous venue “Rainbow Theater” that remains in rock history. “WORLD INVASION Tour” was a world tour accompanying “WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST”, but for some reason there are surprisingly few sound sources excavated and there is almost no treatment. This is also a good opportunity, so let’s look back at the entire tour and check the show’s position.・March 19th – 25th: North America #1a (5 performances) [“WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST” released on March 26th] ・March 26th – May 9th: North America #1b (29 performances) ・May 26th – June 14th: Europe (15 performances) ・June 17th – 24th: UK (7 performances) ←★Here★ ・July 10th – August 9th: North America #2 (25 performances) August 22nd – September 20th: North America #3 (24 performances) October 3rd – November 16th: North America #4 (26 performances) This is VAN HALEN in 1980. The main battlefield was North America, but a European tour was also held in between. This work was a concert that was the 6th performance of the “British” leg. The “WORLD INVASION Tour” was also a turning point in the history of VAN HALEN. In order to explain the meaning of this, let’s unravel the history of their travels to England. Dave era, 1978 (22 performances), 1979 (5 performances), 1980 (7 performances) ←★Coco★, 1984 (MONSTERS OF ROCK 1 performance) Sammy era, 1993 (3 performances), 1995 (9 performances) Performance) The above was a total of 44 UK performances in the entire career. Since their debut, they have been touring the world normally, but with the “WORLD INVASION Tour” they switched to focusing on North America. Although they appeared on MOR four years later, they almost never performed live. The London performance of this work was on the verge of withdrawing from the invasion of Europe. This work recorded at such a show is a classic recording that has represented the “WORLD INVASION Tour” since the analog era. In the past, an incomplete CD version of the LP version was available, but this work is a different, top-of-the-line version. It is a complete version that includes up to the last “You Really Got Me”, and the sound is also the best master of the past. In fact, the sound is exquisite. Although it is a vintage audience with hiss noise, the master freshness is outstanding. The strong core pierces the clear, clear air straight through, clearly defining even the smallest details. All the notes are bright, but the bass is especially surprising. When I listen to it quickly, I feel that the deep bass is not so powerful, but this does not mean it is off. On the contrary, the outline of the base is strong and it makes a powerful roar. Because there is little hall sound in the bass, there is no blurring or blurring, and you can clearly see that each attack note is connected like a rosary, forming a bass line. Of course, the bass is just an example, and if the guitar and drums are vivid, the vocals are clearly separated from Dave and the chorus. Speaking of 1980, the sound board of the Largo performance is also famous, but to put it bluntly, it is not a match. It is truly a famous recording that has become a legend. What is depicted with such clear sound is the full show of the valuable “WORLD INVASION Tour”. A sound board for the Largo performance also came out, but that was just an incomplete version. Let’s compare and organize them here. Flame Fuse (5 songs + α)・Runnin’ With The Devil/Jamie’s Cryin’/Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love/Ice Cream Man/You Really Got Me (★) Legendary Bomber (4 songs)・Bottoms UP !(★)/Dance The Night Away/Women In Love…/Light Up The Sky Dark Law (6 songs)・Romeo Delight(★)/Tora! Tora!/Loss Of Control/Take Your Whiskey Home/Everybody Wants Some!! (★) / And The Cradle Will Rock… Others – Bright Lights, Big City (Jimmy Reed) *Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard on the standard 1980 Largo concert soundboard. …and it looks like this. After all, what is delicious is the precious “WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST” number. “Tora! Tora!”, “Loss Of Control”, and “Take Your Whiskey Home” are limited songs only for this tour, and “And The Cradle Will Rock…”, which has a strong image as a representative song, will be sealed until the reunion era. It ends up. Furthermore, Jimmy Reed’s cover song “Bright Lights, Big City” was only released in 1980, and even his previous works “Women In Love…” and “Light Up The Sky” have remained in the repertoire for over 30 years. It’s a live album that you can enjoy to your heart’s content with delicious and valuable songs in clear sound, while maintaining the same explosive tension that has continued since their debut. After this tour, VAN HALEN switched to a strategy of aiming for “height” through single hits rather than “breadth” to conquer the world. This work is full of rare songs that were created during this transitional period. The highest peak of legendary recordings that allows you to clearly enjoy the full show of a precious period. A masterpiece from the precious “WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST” era. This is a legendary audience recording of “June 23, 1980 London Performance”. This is a complete version of famous recordings from the analog era, and the sound is also the best. The strong core pierces the clear, clear air straight through, clearly defining even the smallest details. “Tora! Tora!”, “Loss Of Control”, “Take Your Whiskey Home”, and “Bright Lights, Big City” are exclusive to this tour, as well as “And The Cradle Will Rock…” and “Women In”, which will be sealed until after the reunion. This is a delicious live album full of valuable numbers such as “Love…” and “Light Up The Sky.” Live at Rainbow Theatre, London, UK 23rd June 1980 TRULY AMAZING/PERFECT SOUND(UPGRADE) (75:40) 1.
