Whitesnake/Tokyo,Japan 4.15.1980 Upgrade

The world’s first master of the classic WHITESNAKE that has jumped out once again! An amazing super-excellent recording that easily updates the highest peak of the first visit to Japan will be preserved forever!! The so-called “classic white snake” who played the best of British blues rock with Bernie Marsden and Ian Paice. . Recently, the best recordings from that era have been made in Japan, and this is the latest and greatest masterpiece. This is a superb audience recording of the “April 15, 1980: Nakano Sunplaza” performance. What really stands out is the superb sound. In order to explain this, we need basic knowledge of the existing group. To avoid confusion when you express things like “It’s more amazing than ○○!” or “It’s more direct than ◇◇!!”, let’s first organize the collection according to the schedule of the visit to Japan at the time.・April 11th “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT” (Postal Savings) ・April 12th “DEFINITIVE NAGOYA 1980 (SBD)” ・April 14th “LINEHUNTER (SBD)” “LIVEHUNTER” (Nakano) ・April 15th: Nakano Sun Plaza ←★This work★ ・April 17th: Ishikawa Welfare Pension Hall ・April 18th: Osaka Festival Hall ・April 19th “NIGHT WALK” (Shibuko) ・April 21st: Shibuya Public Hall (additional) [Performance] [A shocking discovery that easily broke the record set by the sister work] The above was the first visit to Japan with a total of 8 performances. The two leaked sound boards are famous, but other masterpiece audience recordings are also mass produced. At the Nakano Sunplaza performance, where this work was set, the masterpiece “SNEAKING UP ON YOU” reigned as a standard. This work surpasses that “SNEAKING UP ON YOU”…and I am disappointed. That’s not what I’m talking about. The standard that this work stands on is not “the best of XX performances” or “the top of XX years.” No. 1 recording of the legendary first visit to Japan. On the contrary, it is the “king of kings” that will rank first in all the classical white snake audience recordings. Of course, the highest peak of the first visit to Japan so far has been “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT (Zodiac 446)” released a few weeks ago, surpassing all of the masterpieces mentioned above. It took the throne with a sound that rivals even official works, let alone soundboards. However, this work has already (jumped) beyond its peak. In fact, even if I listen to “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT” again now, I can’t help but gasp, “It’s still superlative…”, but this work is even clearer and clearer. Even if the direct feeling of the turned-on core is only five minutes, the sound emitted from it shines with the transparency of the crystal. If the outline of each note is vivid, the edges will be sharp, and on top of that, the gaps between the notes will be deep. For those who love “dynamism of sound”, even if you own this work, you may find that “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT” is the pinnacle, but it is more like a general “more soundboard-like / clearer” song. On the scale, this work ranks higher. There is a reason for such a transcendent sound. As some of you may have already guessed, this work is a work by the same recording artist as “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT”. It is the same collection as “OSAKA 1981 1ST NIGHT” and “OSAKA 1981 2ND NIGHT” of “COME AND GET IT Tour”, but apparently the recording goddess smiled on the one who came to Japan for the first time. This is a masterpiece that far surpasses the 1981 version. [A great performance that shows off his true character] This new emperor’s sound is a passionate full show that can only be seen on his first visit to Japan. I didn’t do a set analysis in the “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT” commentary, so I’ll summarize it here. WHITESNAKE (8 songs) / Snakebite: Come On / Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City / Trouble; Belgian Tom’s Hat Trick (★) / Lie Down (A Modern Love Song) (★) / Take Me with You・Love Hunter: You ‘n’ Me (★) / Walking in the Shadow of the Blues / Love Hunter Others (5 songs + α) ・DEEP PURPLE: Mistreated / Soldier of Fortune (★) / Might Just Take Your Life ・Solo: Breakdown/Whitesnake Boogie (★)・Cover: Rock Me Baby (★: B.B. King) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official edition “LIVE… IN THE HEART OF THE CITY/LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH”. …and it looks like this. In fact, “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT”, which was the first day in Japan, had the thrill of a series of troubles and the fun of recovery, but that was a bad idea. This work is completely the opposite, and shows its true potential without any typical mistakes. It is a great performance that is in perfect condition and hits you with its original charm and awesomeness. What’s more, it also includes “We Wish You Well” at the end. It’s not that “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT” was not recorded, it was not played on the first day (is this also a problem?), but it was used from Nakano. You can perfectly enjoy the refreshing melody until the moving finale where Coverdale mutters “Do mo arigato, Tokyo.” If you experienced “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT”, you might be thinking, “Is it possible for it to be better than that?” But it really was possible. If you want historical announcements/troubles and dynamic sounds, check out “1ST NIGHT,” and if you want great performances that show off their true colors and ultra-clear sound, check out this work. More than being a collection of the same recording artist, it is a super famous recording Twin Peaks that will be the decisive battle at the top of the entire history of WHITESNAKE. I never imagined that in 2021, I would be able to come across such hidden treasures (in quick succession). A new discovery that leaves you in awe of the hidden possibilities of audience recording. A superb audience recording of the legendary first visit to Japan “April 15, 1980: Nakano Sunplaza” performance. This is the original master released for the first time in the world, and its sound is No. 1 in Japan for the first time…No, it is an unusual ultra-high sound quality that will reign at the top of the entire history of the white snake worldwide. The direct feel of the on-core is definitely soundboard quality, and the sound shines with the transparency of crystal. The show is also in great condition, and you can fully experience the great performance in contrast to “TOKYO 1980 1ST NIGHT”, which was full of fun troubles.
