Yngwie J. Malmsteen/PA, USA 1986

The “TRILOGY” era was when Yngwie Malmsteen, the guitar revolutionary who rewrote history, was at his peak as a performer. The best original recording that conveys the scene is now available. This work includes “Philadelphia performance on October 24, 1986”. This is a powerful audience recording recorded at his famous venue “Spectrum”. “PHILADELPHIA 1987,” which received great acclaim the other day, comes to mind when I think of “TRILOGY Era,” “Spectrum,” and “Original Recording.” In fact, this work is also a sister work to that press masterpiece. It was recorded at the same venue by a Japanese taper who was traveling to the United States at the time. Of course, even if it’s the same tour/same venue, it’s a different concert. In order to understand the positional relationship, let’s look back at the schedule at that time. 1986, January 3-12: North America #1 (6 performances), July 4-September 21 (?): North America #2a (15 performances)《September: Mark Boles leaves → Jeff… Scott Thought Return》・September 25th (?)-November 2nd: North America #2b (30 performances)　←★Coco★《“TRILOGY” released on November 4th》・November 7th-14th: Japan (5 performances) November 25th – December 20th: North America #3 (19 performances) 1987 January 7th – 20th: North America #4 (10 performances) ← * “PHILADELPHIA 1987″《June 22nd Sunday: Traffic accident with my beloved Jaguar》・August 1st: Irvine performance　This is Yngwie in 1986/1987. Speaking of “TRILOGY TOUR,” Mark Bolles was replaced by Jeff Scott Sort midway through, but the exact timing of the change is not known, and even though Mark is still there, there are still days when Jeff will sing. It’s also chaotic. In any case, the Spectrum performance of this work is after Jeff’s change. Although the exact number of performances is not exact, this is approximately the 24th performance of “North America #2b”. “PHILADELPHIA 1987” in “North America #4” was the opening act for IRON MAIDEN, but this work was the opening act for TRIUMPH. This work that recorded such a show is truly the best “PHILADELPHIA 1987” This work is not defeated at all, the extremely thick core is right in front of you, and the details are super detailed. When the performance begins, there are loud calls of “Yngwie! Yngwie!” (you can clearly see that it was very popular in America at the time), but when the performance begins, the extremely thick and meaty sound of the performance overwhelms everything. . Although he is not the type of person who seeks beautiful sounds, the intense and close guitar sound is perfect for vividly capturing the awesomeness of a revolutionary child. And Jens Johansson’s synth that cuts in there is another hit. If it weren’t for the excitement that erupts between songs, I’d be tempted to think something silly like “IEMs in the 80’s!?” It is truly a masterpiece that is the sister of “PHILADELPHIA 1987”, but there is a reason why it was introduced from the Shades label this time. That’s an encore. In fact, the tape ended when the final song “Black Star” progressed for about two minutes. Since the recording has finished, I can’t even listen to the final song “Liar”. As a matter of fact, the total recording time is longer than “PHILADELPHIA 1987”, but it is difficult to permanently preserve it due to incomplete recording. It’s a shame. It’s such a shame…. If the sound is intense, the show content will be even more amazing. Of course, the set is similar and different from “PHILADELPHIA 1987”, so let’s summarize it while comparing it here.・RISING FORCE: Far Beyond the Sun/Icarus’ Dream Suite Op.4/Black Star (★) ・MARCHING OUT: I’ll See the Light Tonight (★)/I Am A Viking ・TRILOGY: Queen in Love/Fire/ You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget *Note: Songs marked with a “★” are not available on the masterpiece “PHILADELPHIA 1987”. …and it looks like this. It’s a shame that you can’t hear the aforementioned “Liar,” but instead (?) this album also includes “I’ll See the Light Tonight,” which makes it even more delicious. And the performance is overwhelming. I’m reluctant to put it into words now, but there are plenty of completely different improvisations on the same song, and each phrase is catchy, as if it had been thought out in advance. Later, Yngwie also reiterated that “improvisation is important,” but the genius of this period is truly divine. Moreover, the extremely thick and detailed sound of this work records all the subtleties of each extremely rapid-fired grain. It is a live album filled with the pleasure of being bombarded with shots that are full of crisp and architectural beauty. Yngwie Malmsteen in the mid-80s is absolutely amazing. This is an original recording exclusive to this cultural heritage-level work where you can enjoy the crisp show with ultra-close sound. Although it was unfortunately not possible to preserve it forever, its quality and performance are not inferior to “PHILADELPHIA 1987”.
