Wishbone Ash/Tokyo,Japan 1976 2Days Complete & more

In 1976, from the second Japan tour accompanying the sixth album “LOCKED IN”, the first day of the tour on October 2nd and the last day of the tour at Nakano Sunplaza on the 14th were both performed in higher quality than the original master cassette. It is recorded. Perhaps because of the success of the previous year’s tour, the 1976 Japan tour included 11 performances. The first performance in Tokyo is the first appearance, and that alone is worth it for fans to obtain the original sound source. The set included numbers from “NEW ENGLAND”, which was unreleased at this stage, and fans at the time were probably surprised by the opening Runaway in particular. Although the sound image feels a little distant, it is extremely stable, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the performance. Silver Shoes is played in the 5th song, making it a rare listening spot as a sound source of the 1976 Japan tour. I think the sound has something to do with the sound output from the PA, but the more I listen to it, the better it gets. The clear and responsive sound image will greatly fascinate fans. The sound source for the final day, October 14th, was recorded with a higher quality sound, and you can enjoy the precious final performance with natural texture and high-quality sound with good grain. Compared to the live show on the first day, there are changes in the set and flow after 10 performances, and it’s a fun set to compare in that respect. The performance time is shorter than the first day, but the sound is good, so you can listen to the performance with great pleasure. The sense of sound separation is excellent, the clear sound is the best, and fans can spend a blissful time. From the 1976 Japan tour, a four-disc set of attention is now available. Disc 5 is a 1 hour and 30 minute recording of the live broadcast recorded in Cologne, Germany on December 1, 1976, when the seventh studio album “New England” was released, in the highest resolution ever. . The concert will be held exactly two months after their second visit to Japan, and the concert will start with the new song Runaway, which is the same as the opening number of the 1976 Japan performance. They played four songs from “New England,” a period when they tried to change from the emotional image that was their early charm to a more straightforward rock centered on singing. The peak of the concert was the early performances of The King Will Come, Warrior, Time Was, Blowin’ Free, and Jail Bait, which have always been the same, but the band’s new direction in search of change and the dignified British rock style. It can be said that the strange gap between this album and their older works reflects the band’s situation at this time. However, the highlights are the numbers from “New England,” a set only available during this period, the dramatic ballad Persephone that includes the masterpiece “Eternal Anxiety,” and the previous album, in which the change in the band’s sound confused fans. It will be a great pleasure for avid fans to be able to take a close look at the precious set of “It Started In Heaven” from “Infinite Bondage” on an official screen. It was a time when it was said that the sound had disappeared as it became pop, but Andy and Laurie’s wonderful guitar play in each song is enough to listen to, and you can fully enjoy the best hour and a half.
