Than US tour due to the 1980 “Drama”, Los Angeles 2 Days of the first day, complete recording the live of October 3 with high quality audience recording over one hour 54 minutes. Than that Mike Millard has been recorded? This is the best sound source is said to be. Thick, stable and high-quality sound image was is, there is no discomfort even listening is certainly think Millard sound source. Freshness of sound is also great, scale feeling is perfect. Leave was John Anderson and Rick Wakeman original Buggles of tray Vernon horn instead of, join the Jeff Downs, is a middle of the sound source of large-scale North American tour due to the “drama” that was raised created, of nightly you can enjoy plenty in robust to and realistic live pattern of greatly attract ’80 Jesus the large crowd with ensemble play that became clear sound performance. The Tatamikake a hard number from early, overwhelm like the audience, full of tremendous impact. Howe also are you the core of sound, Chris, in the senior members of Alan, you let me listen to the play of enhancement full of strength in tight. But is also listening Gotae full marks Jesus classic in this lineup, After all, perhaps, would not be playing in the future, just Does It Really Happen at this time only?, Into The Lens, Go Through This , Man In A White Car Suite, number that said that We Can Fly From Here is far from listening all of them. Dramatic And You And I after the show that up to 10 minutes, Trevor spoke as “It’s Friday Night Los Angeles”, how to volley the drama number from there is far from listening exactly, partly goodness of sound, the stimulus specific performance, fans will be also not release the ear time. New definitive edition sound source title from the original if press CD also seem even worthy “drama” tour. This is the best of Jesus live album after a long time.

1980年「Drama」に伴うUSツアーより、ロス・アンゼルス2デイズの初日、10月3日のライヴを1時間54分に渡って高音質オーディエンス録音で完全収録。あのマイク・ミラードが録音したのでは？と言われている極上音源です。太く、安定した高品質な音像は、たしかにミラード音源と思って聴いても全く違和感はありません。音の鮮度も素晴らしく、スケール感もバッチリです。脱退したジョン・アンダーソンとリック・ウェイクマンの代わりに元バグルスのトレーヴァー・ホーン、ジェフ・ダウンズを参加させ、創り上げた｢ドラマ」に伴う大規模な北米ツアーの中盤の音源であり、連夜のパフォーマンスで強固になったアンサンブルプレイで大観衆を大いに魅了する80年イエスのライヴの模様をリアルかつクリアーなサウンドでたっぷりと楽しむことができます。序盤からハードナンバーを畳みかけ、聴衆を圧倒する様は、凄まじいインパクトに満ちています。音の中核を成しているのはやはりハウ、クリス、アランの古参メンバーで、タイトで力強さに溢れた充実のプレイを聴かせてくれます。この布陣でのイエス・クラシックも聴きごたえ満点ですが、何と言っても、おそらく、今後は演奏されることはないだろう、まさにこの時だけの Does It Really Happen?、Into The Lens、Go Through This、Man In A White Car Suite、We Can Fly From Hereと言ったナンバーはその全てが聴きどころです。10分に及ぶドラマチックなAnd You And I終演後、トレヴァーは「It’s Friday Night Los Angeles」と語りかけ、そこからドラマ・ナンバーを連発する様子はまさに聴きどころであり、音の良さもあって、その刺激的なパフォーマンスに、ファンは一時も耳を離せないことでしょう。本来ならプレスCDが相応しいとさえも思える「ドラマ」ツアーからの新たな決定版音源タイトル。これは久々に最高のイエス・ライヴ盤です。
