Description
Yngwie Malmsteen’s latest performance in Japan has been receiving rave reviews for the first time in about two years. The best original recording that reports the scene will be urgently released! What is infused into this work is the “September 11, 2026: Toyosu PIT” performance. It is the super best audience recording. Speaking of Yngwie, there was a time when he did not come to Japan alone for more than 10 years, but the situation improved in 2024. Not only did he come to Japan twice in one year, but he came back to Japan after about two years. First of all, let’s take a look at his recent status in terms of schedule and get closer to his position in this work. 2024, May 2nd + 4th: Asia (2 performances) *May 7th-11th: Japan #1 (3 performances) ← *TOKYO 2024 and others ・May 16th to 19th: Australia (3 performances) ・June 20th to July 6th: Europe #1 (9 performances) ・September 26th to November 22nd: North America (37 performances) *December 20th: Japan #2 (1 performance) ← *YOKOHAMA 2024 2025, June 20th to 28th: Latin America (5 performances), July 29th to August 12th: Europe #2 (9 performances), October 3rd: Sacramento performance 2026 April 2nd + 4th: South America (2 performances) June 4th + 6th / July 15th – August 1st: Europe #3 (10 performances) September 4th: Beijing performance *September 11th + 13th: Japan #3 (2 performances) ←★Here★《November 13th “HELL OR HIGH” WATER” scheduled to be released》A new master taper album that makes even the soundboard blurry This is Yngwie Malmsteen from 2024 to 2026. They are scheduled to release a new album for the first time in five years in two months, but before that, their final performance was in Japan. Moreover, what’s inside is special. The two performances scheduled as “Japan #3” are “September 11th at Toyosu PIT/September 13th in Yokohama” and each has a completely different concept. The former is a rock show with a band, and the latter is a concert with an orchestra. What this work conveys is the Toyosu performance, which is also the rock version of the first day. The person who recorded such a night was the master craftsman “Western Japan’s strongest taper” who is familiar to our store. As some of you may remember, Mr. Saikyo has made a live album of all of his performances in Japan in 2024, and this work is also a sequel to that. Of course, the sound is the best with “super” this time as well. He is a modern master who has always been praised as “like a soundboard” and “sounds better than what I heard at the venue”, but this work also shows off his great skill…I wrote it lightly, but this is quite amazing. After all, Yngwie is a very tapered artist. The balance of the sound output is not normal, and the quality of the sound output itself is very hit or miss. However, what flows out of this work is the finest direct sound that is unbelievable. First of all, the huge guitar sound. This does not cause any crushing or chattering, even to the smallest detail, and is glossy all the way. Even rapid fire that doesn’t catch your eye arrives so minutely that you can almost count each bullet. And this time, even the back group is clearly visible. Of course, it is natural that Yngwie is smaller than the guitar in terms of volume, but even so, the detailed phrases and touches are clearly transmitted. The drums are particularly impressive, and you can clearly see how the guitar intertwines with the phrases played on the cymbals. This is so cool that it gives me chills. A full-length rock show full of rapid-fire energy. With such transcendent sound, this is a powerful rock show that overflows with spirit and momentum. Let’s check the set contents here. 80’s/90’s Rising Force: Now Your Ships Are Burned/Far Beyond The Sun/Evil Eye/Black Star Others: Rising Force/Like An Angel (For April)/Seventh Sign/Fire and Ice/Trilogy (Vengeance)/Blue (★)/You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget/I’ll See The Light Tonight Later World on Fire: Top Down, Down-No Rest For The Foot Wicked/Soldier/Parabellum: Relentless Fury/Wolves At The Doo/Others: Into Valhalla-Baroque & Roll/Smoke On The Water/Badinerie/Paganini’s 4th-Adagio/1000 Cuts/Acoustic Cadenza *Note: Songs marked with “★” are songs that were not performed at “YOKOHAMA 2024” during the previous visit to Japan. …and it looks like this. In general, the composition follows the style of 2024, but the guitar that spells it out is crisp. Yngwie himself also appears to be doing quite well. Perhaps they were in high spirits for the orchestra performance that was scheduled to take place in two days, and the improvisations were as sharp and rich as ever. He slips out of the predetermined framework and composes a new melody on the spot. It’s not just fast, but glaring light-speed passages come out one after another. The orchestral concert in Yokohama is a hot topic of conversation, but the performance in Toyosu that preceded it was such a passionate performance that it would be a shame to think of it as a run-up. This is a full live album that vacuum-packs that gushing energy and torrent of phrases with the “strongest sound” that surpasses the sound board. Superb audience recording of the “September 11, 2026: Toyosu PIT” performance. This is the latest work by the master master “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper” who recorded all the performances when he came to Japan in 2024, and despite Yngwie’s difficult sound output balance and quality, it has achieved an incredible direct sound. The big guitar sound is glossy without any distortion or chatter, and every grain of rapid fire is detailed. The backing is clear, and the interplay between the drums and guitar is so cool that it makes you shiver. Toyosu PIT, Tokyo, Japan 11th September 2026 Disc:1 (57:20) 1. Intro 2. Rising Force 3.
