Recorded live at the first visit to Japan Osaka Bayside Jenny January 23, 1993 than the performance of the legend of Manowar over 75 minutes by the ultra-high-quality audience recording! !
First visit to Japan performances that have been made to January 23 from January 20, 1993 Kawasaki 2 performances, Nagoya, was made with the Osaka. It records the Osaka performance of this CD in the tour the last day.
Has now become is the first performance in Japan has become a legend, but it failed in the box office, attracting customers manner honestly. Which performance is also not to be a full house, Nagoya dismal number of customers, this day gathered audience to live house of 1000 people capacity in Osaka was about 300 people.
At the time 1993 is still the era of metal bubble in Japan. Despite the fact there were many Okonawaru in the hall even in the live of metal-based, now performance metal boundaries of the king serving Manowar is in the live house, yet it is because it was quite a tough Kyakuri, the metal fan at the time the What serving as one of Manowar was not transmitted and at that time of the magazine it is thought to be caused by that had been treated color thing basis.
However said that this fan viewed in the first visit to Japan performances live of Manowar was amazing, fans did not look at the live, many of the seems amazing live Manowar is among young fans who know the Manowar in the first visit to Japan since Manowar a lot of fans to re-visit to Japan sticking also legendary as caudal fin is now aspire. However endlessly never determined re-visit to Japan. In the place that had given up is impossible or a lot of fans to see the live of Manowar anymore in Japan, re-Japan tour of the miracle of 21 years was realized finally overcame many difficulties enjoying at 4 Disc Press CD of a masterpiece as receive, please enjoy also live in Osaka from valuable this first visit to Japan performance.
The members of the first visit to Japan is Joey DeMaio, a member of the invariant of Eric Adams, former premier of David Shankeru had a technique, called legend in your familiar Rhino burned his drum set in Manowar join It is a member of this tour only.
While less When you play a CD also starts from the gathered Mano Warrior our hot Mano War call (die-hard fans of Manowar). You should be feeling the heat of the venue from this point. Usual “Ladies and gentlemen, From the United States of America, All hail Manowar” to rush from the note verbale of, decorate the opening in all LIVE Manowar since been produced in the world in 1982 “Manowar”!
You looming in the power of up to tremendous from opening. Making base and sound to emphasize the bass can be said again and unique (in this time of the visit to Japan was emphasized more than at that time, but had become sound making that it can be said that the singular).
Then also run through a stretch at full throttle in the set list to notify the what a Manowar to be deployed in the center of the upper songs.
Classic “Fighting The World” that has not been showcased in this time of re-Japan tour, big epic aesthetics of Manowar is jammed all “Battle Hymn”, the music selection of this tour unique “Ride The Dragon”, such as “The Glory Of Achilles” music selection also place glad to mania.
Beautiful breath of fresh air, such as in the set list to continue to earnestly attack “Heart Of Steel”, bass solo over 7 and a half minutes of the samurai Joey DeMaio used properly even soft not only Tsuyoshi has also become a good accent.
I would think in the usual outro “The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings)” pleasant feeling of weakness that remains after you have finished listening to after too overwhelming finale of up to 12 minutes, “Battle Hymn”. Really it’s amazing live. It should also transmitted in only the sound. It does not say only a miracle overnight of this legend has been left as a sound in neat form.
From a distance the swollen audience, firmly this recording that captured the musical tone can be said to those of top class as the audience recording of the concert in Japan at the time of the metal-based. Emitted sound from the previous reputation as the day PA of the most sound is large band in the world that has been certified to the Guinness record is loud with each instrument, vocal was the preeminent sound audible to clear. Very has been recorded in the clear without cracking sound while large volume in this recording. Upon this release, the master also hear as subjected to mastering in the modern sense, it Yes finish in high-grade sound brightness has increased more scale and sound.
Along with the re-Japan tour in 2014 became a New legend, the sound of the first visit to Japan performance of this legend, by all means, please enjoy. “Death to False Metal” record of the struggle of the men who gave their all to Vimetaru the to the slogan. Live of all metal fans must listen! Please listen by all means. Hail and Kill!
マノウォーの伝説の初来日公演より1993年1月23日大阪ベイサイドジェニーでのライブを超高音質オーディエンス録音により75分に渡って収録！！
1993年1月20日から1月23日にかけて行われた初来日公演は川崎2公演、名古屋、大阪と行われました。このCDではツアー最終日の大阪公演を収録しています。
今となっては伝説となっている初来日公演ですが、正直に言って興行的・集客的には失敗に終わっています。どの公演も大入りになることはなく、名古屋は惨憺たる客数、この大阪でもキャパ1000人のライブハウスに当日集まったオーディエンスは300人程度でした。
1993年当時は日本ではまだまだメタルバブルの時代。メタル系のライブでさえホールで行わることが多かったにも関わらず、今やメタル界の王たるマノウォーがライブハウスでの公演、しかもかなりの厳しい客りだったというのは、当時のメタルファンにマノウォーのなんたるかが伝わっていなかったのと当時の専門誌では色もの的に扱われていたことが原因と思われます。
しかしながらこの初来日公演を見たファンはマノウォーのライブは凄かったと伝え、ライブを見れなかったファン、初来日以後にマノウォーを知った若いファンの間ではマノウォーのライブは凄いらしいと数々のマノウォーの伝説も尾びれのようにくっつき再来日を多くのファンが熱望するようになりました。しかしながら延々と決まることない再来日。もう日本でマノウォーのライブを見ることは無理かと多くのファンは諦めていたところに、多くの困難を乗り越え遂に実現した21年ぶりの奇跡の再来日公演は圧巻の4枚組プレスCDで楽しんで頂くとして、貴重なこの初来日公演から大阪のライブもお楽しみください。
この初来日のメンバーはジョーイ・ディマイオ、エリック・アダムスの不変のメンバーに、歴代最高峰のテクニックを持っていたデイヴィッド・シャンケル、マノウォー加入において自分のドラムセットを燃やした伝説で御馴染のライノというこのツアーのみのメンバーです。
CDを再生すると少ないながらも集まったマノウォーリアー（マノウォーのダイハードなファン）たちの熱いマノウォーコールから始まります。この時点から会場の熱気を感じれるはずです。お決まりの「Ladies and gentlemen,From the United States of America,All hail Manowar」の口上から突入するのは、1982年にこの世に生み出されからマノウォーのライブ全てにおいてオープニングを飾る「Manowar」！
オープニングから凄まじいまでのパワーで迫ってきます。ベース及び低音を強調させた音作りはやはり独特と言えます（今回の来日ではその時以上に強調させた、特異と言える音作りになっていましたが）。
その後もアッパーな楽曲を中心に展開されるマノウォーが何たるかを知らしめるセットリストでフルスロットルで一気に駆け抜けます。
今回の再来日公演では披露されなかった名曲「Fighting The World」、マノウォーの美学が全て詰まった一大叙事詩「Battle Hymn」、このツアーならではの選曲「Ride The Dragon」、「The Glory Of Achilles」といった選曲もマニアに嬉しいところ。
ひたすら攻め続けるセットリストの中で一服の清涼剤のような美しい「Heart Of Steel」、剛だけではなく柔も使い分ける侍ジョーイ・ディマイオの7分半に渡るベースソロも良いアクセントになっています。
12分に及ぶあまりに圧倒的な終曲「Battle Hymn」の後のお決まりのアウトロ「The Crown And The Ring(Lament Of The Kings)」を聞き終えた後に残る心地いい脱力感の中思うでしょう。本当に凄いライブだと。それは音だけでも伝わるはずです。この伝説の一夜がきちんとした形で音として残されているのも奇跡としか言えません。
盛り上がるオーディエンスを遠目に、しっかりと楽音を捕えたこの録音は当時のメタル系の来日公演の客席録音としてはトップクラスのものと言えます。ギネス記録に認定された世界で一番音が大きいバンドとの前評判通り当日のPAから放たれる音はラウドながら各楽器、ボーカルがクリアに聞きとれる抜群の音でした。この録音でも大音量ながら音割れすることなく非常にクリアに録音されています。今回のリリースにあたり、そのマスターに現代の感覚でも聞けるようにマスタリングを施し、よりスケールと音の明度が増したハイグレードなサウンドに仕上げてあります。
新たなる伝説となった2014年の再来日公演とともに、この伝説の初来日公演の音を、是非、お楽しみ下さい。「Death to False Metal」をスローガンにへヴィメタルに全てを捧げた男たちの闘いの記録。全メタルファン必聴のライブ！是非聞いて下さい。Hail and Kill!
