Description
“ROCK AM RING” is a gigantic festival that symbolizes Germany, which is still the number one rock powerhouse in Europe. The best video featuring the memorable first episode has been decided to be released. Speaking of “ROCK AM RING”, it has become a hot topic as it was announced that it will be held next year in 2021 on an unprecedented scale, but it has been canceled this year in 2020 due to the new coronavirus pandemic. It is one of the festivals whose future trends are attracting attention. In recent years, it has become customary to hold the event for three days, but the first one in 1985 was for two days. Of these, this work was recorded on May 26, 1985, using a multi-camera camera featuring four of the 18 groups that appeared (NIGHT RANGER/REO SPEEDWAGON/Rick Springfield/FOREIGNER). It’s a shot. Even today, “ROCK AM RING” is loved as a festival that produces the best professional shots, but in 1985 it became a hot topic, saying, “A huge summer festival has been born in West Germany!”, and the event was broadcast in the form of a special program. This work is a DVD version of the Air Check Master. And, the quality is top notch, and you’ll want to rank it as “super”. The quality is at a slightly unfashionable level. The beautiful colors and delicate details are as vivid as if you were watching a live broadcast at this moment in 2020. In fact, there are some running noises in several places, so it’s not perfect, and it turns out that it’s actually an air-check VHS master, but the basic quality itself makes me wonder, “Was it released on an official laser disc?” That’s about it. The visual beauty that is far removed from the 1980s depicts a stage that could not have been set in anything other than 1985. All four sets are excerpts of 2 to 5 songs rather than full songs, but the content is special. After all, judging from NIGHT RANGER at the beginning, it was one week after the release of “7 WISHES,” and Rick Springfield also released the day before “TAO.” This is about half a year after REO SPEEDWAGON and FOREIGNER released their golden age masterpieces such as “WHEELS ARE TURNIN’” and “AGENT PROVOCATEUR.” That’s why this is a collection of famous songs that symbolize the era! I keep saying this one after another. As you can see from the track list below, the secret to real time is that it is not just a greatest hits. It’s nice to see the repertoire such as “Live Every Moment (REO SPEEDWAGON),” “Dance This World Away (Rick Springfield),” and “Reaction To Action (FOREIGNER)” casually mixed into the group of big hits. All of them are new songs that were only played at that time, and they hit them with the potential of the band that created the masterpiece. Such a passionate performance alone is a treasure, but this work also has a fresh atmosphere that is unique to the first episode. Speaking of modern “ROCK AM RING” professional shots, they are of superb quality and make full use of dynamic three-dimensional camera work, creating a spectacle that makes you say, “This is the pioneer of European festivals!” There is. However, since this is the first production, such pride has not grown, and the band is simply filled with the joy of “This is a huge festival in West Germany!” There was a sense of openness due to the daytime outdoor venue, fans climbing up the walls at the edge, and sexy German beauties lying around in such an atmosphere that it was hard to tell whether they were listening to the passionate performance on stage or not. There is a faint air of freedom that was eradicated in the UK and America in the 1970s, and the steady waves of clapping are reminiscent of the 1980s. The mixture conveys a “1985 in West Germany” that is neither British nor American. Looking back, the first “ROCK AM RING” 5 was realized two months before “LIVE AID”. It was a time when leadership was shifting from the revolutionary British scene to the United States, but there was still a lot of standing. Under such circumstances, an outdoor festival was born that showed off the pride of being a “third country”. The main characters of this work are the four stars, but at the same time, the atmosphere is delicious because it is 1985. A masterpiece video of rock history that allows you to witness the scene with the best multi-camera professional shots.
