Yngwie Malmsteen/FL,USA 2019

Champion Yngwie Malmsteen’s performance in Japan at GENERATION AX is still fresh in my memory. The latest and finest footage of the recital show he performed after leaving Japan is now available. Some people may be surprised by the fact that “recital” does not use many words, but this is not a mistake in “solo”. In fact, Yngwie’s current shows are diverse. There are project participation types like GENERATION AXE, solo concerts where he leads his own band, and recitals where he stands alone on stage without a band. This work is a video work that allows you to enjoy such a full recital-style show from a spectacular view. This work was filmed at the Fort Lauderdale performance on December 27, 2019. This is the best audience shot that records the whole story. First of all, let’s start with an overview of Yngwie’s activities in 2019, in order to know what’s going on.・February 22: MONSTERS OF ROCK CRUISE ・April 13-June 15: North America #1 (41 performances) ・November 8 + 9: North America #2 (2 performances) ・November 23: Seoul (GENERATION AXE 1 performance) ・November 25th-29th: Japan (GENERATION AXE 4th performance) ・December 6th-27th: North America #3 (5th performance) ←★Here★ This is Yngwie in 2019. In fact, this year’s GENERATION AXE only has 5 performances in Korea and Japan. The rest were all performances under individual names in North America. It is not clear which of them will have a band and which will be a recital, but the Fort Lauderdale performance of this work was also a recital and the last stage of 2019. This work, which records such a show, is truly spectacular and superb. It seems that the photo was taken from the second floor seat on the right side of the stage, but there was no obstruction at all. The image quality is super clear, perhaps because it’s so close to the stage, and even when you zoom in from there, it’s super beautiful. It’s a one-camera shot, and you won’t forget the feeling of an audience shot from the camera work that seems to be freehand, but the beauty of the image itself is no different from one angle of a professional shot. In other words, there is no need for multiple cameras in the first place. Yngwie is always the main character, so he is photographed as the main character in any type of show, but in this recital, Yngwie is the only one on stage. There is no need to move other members by switching, just by keeping Yngwie in the middle of the screen, the image quality of a professional shot is directly connected to the spectacular sight of a professional shot. It is Yngwie’s recital that is depicted with such exquisite visual beauty. Normally, when you hear the word “guitar recital,” you imagine someone holding an acoustic guitar and singing along, but this is different for him. Playing a recording of a rock band’s backing, he plays it as usual. The action and shot are the same as usual. Moreover, in recent years Yngwie has monopolized half of the stage even with a band, and the audience shot is occupied by his appearance. Despite it being a recital, it didn’t feel out of place at all. As expected, Yuigadokuson is a virtuoso. That said, there is a decisive difference from usual. That’s vocals. It has been a long time since he himself sang the main song, but this work is completely instrumental. Looking at the song list, there are vocal numbers from yesteryear such as “Never Die,” “Seventh Sign,” and “Rising Force,” but they are only performed with excerpts of solos and key phrase parts. He himself doesn’t sing, just plays the guitar rapidly. “Yngwie’s instrumental live” is something that fans imagine once, but you can witness it in reality. Also, as you can see in the screen capture on the right, there is a microphone stand set up in the middle of the stage, but this is a place for a pick and is used for the MC. This MC was also unique and proceeded with the show by having Q&A sessions (?) with the audience. Although the performance itself and the scenery are the same as usual, it is a show that is somehow mysterious. Yngwie Malmsteen, who has always been the main character, began to sing on his own, and finally began to stand on stage alone. However, even though the format of the show changed, the music remained unwaveringly neoclassical, and its purity reached the ultimate level. It’s a little different from the usual Yngwie accompanied by a band, and the so-called solo guitar performance is also different. This is a masterpiece video that allows you to fully experience the recital of a champion from a spectacular view. 74 minutes of bliss where his guitar dominates everything.
