Van Halen/MN, USA 2007

A reunion with David Lee Roth in 2007 that shook the whole world. A special reprint release of a masterpiece live album that allows you to experience the shocking scene at its best. As the tour attracted worldwide attention, countless recordings appeared at the time, but this time we have carefully selected representative works that received rave reviews in terms of both quality and content. This is the best audience recording of “October 24, 2007 Minneapolis Performance”. This week, many masterpieces looking back on the great master Eddie Van Halen’s achievements have been released, and the reunion period with Dave is actually nine years long. Some people may be a little confused, so let’s take a look back at the “nine years of reunion” and remember what the 2007/2008 period was like. Immediately after reunion: 2007《February 2nd: Announcement of Dave Lee Roth return》・September 27th – December 30th: North America #1 (40 performances) ←★Here★ Immediately after reunion: 2008 January 22nd – February 20th: North America #2 (15 performances) April 17th – July 3rd: North America #3 (22 performances) New release period: 2012 (4 years later) A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUTH” released》 January 5th – June 26th: North America #4 (53 performances) New release period: 2013 April 20th: Sydney performance June 18th – 26th: Japan (4 performances) July 20th + 24th: North America #3 (2 performances) Final tour: 2015 (2 years later) July 5th – October 4th: North America #6 (41 performances) This is Dave era of reunion with There were two breaks that lasted for several years, and they can be broadly divided into three periods: “Immediately after the reunion (2007-2008)”, “New release period (2012-2013)”, and “Final tour (2015)”. This four-piece reprint is the early part, “immediately after the reunion”. In particular, this first work was a concert that was a start dash as the 14th performance of “North America #1″. This work recorded at such a show is truly an exquisite audience recording. In fact, in 2007, due to the reunion of the century, a tremendous amount of recordings were made, but most of them were just bad sounds. I think it’s probably because of the huge venue, but it was sparse due to the distance, and it was blurry due to the echoes. Still, at that time I was happy with the exciting advance, but now that I am calmer, there were many recordings that were unbearable to listen to. but! This work appeared in such a situation and immediately raised the standard of sound. Anyway, the core is on and powerful, and there is almost no sense of distance (although it is not so much that you can mistake it for a sound board). Along with this, if the details are vivid, the separation of the four people is also outstanding. Up until then, reunion recordings had been judged based on “whether it was a full recording or not, and whether there were any fatal flaws.” However, with this work, “How high is the sound quality?” “That Minneapolis (this work) ) has become a topic of conversation. It is such a revolutionary live album. The show drawn with such innovative sound is a full show excited by the reunion with Dave, which was realized for the first time in 23 years. Speaking of their reunion era, Eddie’s posthumous official live album “TOKYO DOME LIVE IN CONCERT” is the standard, but this work has a different set because it is a separate tour. Let’s compare and organize them here. Flame Fuse (8 songs)・You Really Got Me/I’m The One/Runnin’ With The Devil/Atomic Punk (★)/Little Dreamer (★)/Jamie’s Cryin’ (★)/Ice Cream Man/Ain’ t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love Legendary Bomber (3 songs)・Somebody Get Me A Doctor／Beautiful Girls／Dance The Night Away Dark Law (3 songs)・Romeo Delight／Everybody Wants Some!!／And the Cradle Will Rock … Martial Law (3 songs)・So This Is Love? (★)／Mean Street／Unchained Diver Down (2 songs)・(Oh) Pretty Woman／Little Guitars (★) 1984 (4 songs)・I’ll Wait/Hot For Teacher/Panama/Jump *: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official live album “TOKYO DOME LIVE IN CONCERT”. …and it looks like this. The golden greatest hits, including 5 songs that cannot be heard on the official live album, is a masterpiece. Moreover, if the sound is top-notch, the performance is full of the elation that can only be felt right after a reunion. This is a masterpiece of a music album that has all three elements: “good sound, good songs, and good performance.” Since then, masterpieces have appeared, so it’s hard to say that it’s the “Tour No. 1” now, but it’s still a monument.
