Yngwie Malmsteen/Netherlands 1996

In 1996, Yngwie Malmsteen brought back the all-time greatest singer, Mark Boals, and carried out a special tour. Two shocking masters that allow you to experience the scene at its finest have been unearthed at the same time! Three new masters of Yngwie, unearthed through our own route, will be released at the same time, but there are two records of the “INSPIRATION Tour” sung by Mark. This work is a super-class audience recording of the second installment, “November 26, 1996 Tilburg Performance (Netherlands)”. Speaking of Yngwie in 1996, not only the “INSPIRATION Tour” but also “THE FENDER 50TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT”, where he performed with Cozy Powell, is a memorable place. In order to organize the situation around that, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time and check the show’s position.・August 5th-11th: South America (6 shows)・August 16th: Old Bridge show・September 14th-October 7th: North America #1 (5 shows)《September 20th (Sun) / October 14th (USA) “INSPIRATION” released》・November 2nd-7th: Japan (5 shows)・November 10th-28th: ​​Europe (16 shows)←★here★・November 29th: London show・November 30th: Fender 50th Anniversary Concert appearance・December 4th-6th: UK (3 shows)・December 23rd-26th: Asia (4 shows)This is Yngwie Malmsteen in 1996. After the release of the album “INSPIRATION”, he toured Japan/Europe, but in Europe, the circuit was in the order of “Northern Europe → Central Europe → UK”. The “Fender 50th Anniversary Concert” was a one-off appearance during the UK tour. In contrast, the Tilburg performance of this work is the previous continental European edition. The simultaneously released “MALMO 1996” was the first day performance, but this work was the 14th concert. This work recorded at such a show is also a shocking super-high-grade. It is not known whether it is the same recorder as “MALMO 1996”, but it is a newly excavated master brought by the same unique route, and the sound is also “like a sound board” type that is difficult to distinguish. However, its personality is slightly different. If you compare it to a sound board, “MALMO 1996” is a “table direct type”, or a rugged sound with a bare core. In contrast, this work can be called an “FM broadcast type”. Although the direct feeling and the extremely thick feeling are five minutes, a very small amount of hall sound coats the ensemble. Although it does not impair the clarity at all, it adjusts the overall balance and gives each sound a gloss. This is no longer a matter of “which is better” but “what kind of preference it is”. It’s like preferring the leak type on the sound board or asking for a broadcast master recording. Not only the individuality of the sound is different from the sister work, but also the content of the show. Although it’s only two weeks later, the set has changed subtly. Let’s organize it by comparing it here. Originals (9 songs) Rising Force: Icarus’ Dream Suite Op.4/Far Beyond the Sun/Black Star Trilogy: Liar/Queen in Love/You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget Others: I’ll See the Light Tonight/Never Die (★)/Rising Force Covers (7 songs) Ritchie Blackmore: Child in Time/Pictures of Home/Gates of Babylon Others: The Sails of Charon (SCORPIONS)/In the Dead of Night (U.K.)/Red House (Jimi Hendrix)/Carry On Wayward Son (KANSAS) *Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that cannot be heard on the sister album “MALMO 1996” released at the same time. …And so on. “MALMO 1996” was the first performance immediately after returning from Japan, so it was very similar to the Japan tour, but this work has fewer covers and “Never Die” is set in. Yngwie’s own song “Manic Depression” is not bad, but since Mark is there, I want to hear his voice as much as possible. Moreover, if it is a masterpiece of “THE SEVENTH SIGN”, it will be even more so. “THE SEVENTH SIGN” is a great album known for its particularly good songs among Yngwie’s works, but there are also many fans who say, “That’s why I wanted to hear it with Mark’s singing”. This work will make part of that dream come true with a superb sound. Even so, it is a great sister recording that has come out. “MALMO 1996” allows you to experience the scene in his home country with a close feeling comparable to a direct sound board, and this work allows you to enjoy “Never Die” with a sound as well-organized as FM broadcasting. It is really difficult to choose between them, and it is a beautiful sister live album that you should enjoy both of them. “Official live album sung by Mark” has been an eternal dream of fans, but from now on this work will play that role. Such a super masterpiece. A super-class audience recording of “November 26, 1996 Tilburg performance (Netherlands)”. The extremely thick core approaches with a zero distance feeling, and the sense of separation is also tremendous. It is an official-class super-excellent sound with a very faint hall sound that arranges the ensemble like an FM broadcast. In addition to a lot of rare covers, you can also enjoy Mark Boals’ version of “Never Die” that was not heard at the Japanese performance. It is a shocking new masterpiece that will replace the fan’s eternal dream “Mark sings official live album”.
