Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s Rising Force/IN,USA 1988

A high-quality audience recording of the Fort Wayne, Indiana performance on June 17th from the North American tour accompanying “Odyssey,” in which you can hear Yngwie and Joe Lynn Turner co-starring, which was a big hit among hard rock fans in 1988. Completely recorded. It was the first sound source that the recorder uploaded to the internet at the time, but it is a loving finish that even includes the radio spot of the concert at the time. . Not only is the sound fresh, but it is also a very high-quality recording that has a full direct feel, and the musical tones are firmly included without being interfered with by the audience’s voices, and the sound stability is also outstanding. (The opening act for the North American tour was Lita Ford and Black & Blue.) They skipped three songs smoothly from the opening, and the listener was hooked. Following Joe’s MC, “This is the first song me and Yngwie wrote,” Deja Vu starts with a bang. Not only Yngwie’s guitar, which has completely recovered from that nightmarish car accident, but also Joe’s vocals are recorded very clearly, and the listening experience is perfect from beginning to end. Centered around the drums recorded with a clear and tight sound, the overall sound image is sharp and you can enjoy a live performance full of ups and downs. Perhaps because of the good sound output from the PA, this is a great recording in which Joe’s detailed singing is followed perfectly even in the hard-hitting songs. Her vocals seemed to be in good condition that day, and she was able to sing the melodies in the high range very well. Yngwie’s flowing high-speed play that can be heard in each song is all worth listening to. In You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget, Rainbow’s Street Of Dreams has not been inserted yet. This day marks the 20th performance of the North American tour, and compared to the 1988 Budokan take released at the same time, the ensemble and texture of the new songs are a little rougher, but the overall sound is fresh and refreshing. Each and every part of it sounds really attractive. The guitar solo part of Adagio/Trilogy Suite Opus 5 that follows Crystal Ball is the best place to listen. (Even when Joe calls out the title, there are some pauses, perhaps because the instruments aren’t ready.) Before Heaven Tonight, Joe asked, “Has anyone bought the new album?” ?It’s a single. Check out the video too,” the MC said. Straight and wild arrangements like this one sound very fresh. I fall in love with Joe’s beautiful voice as he sings the pop melody of Now Is The Time with his charming voice. The majority of the set is “Odyssey” numbers, and every song is great to listen to. What’s interesting is the member introductions, where Joe introduces each member except Yngwie one by one, and finally introduces Yngwie, where Joe and Yngwie’s voices overlap with each other’s “On Guitar” and “On Vocal”. You can also listen to some heart-warming scenes. At the end, this wonderful live will end with a cover performance of Purple Haze. The 1988 tour was all about Japan and the UK/Europe tour, and the sound source of the North American tour is rare, so this album, which uses the first appearance take, will be a nice piece for fans. This is a must-have for enthusiasts who have the triple content, sound quality, and value. Live at Foellinger Theatre, Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA 17th June 1988 PERFECT SOUND Disc 1 1. Radio Promo 2.
