Unfortunately, Denis the opportunity the trouble of the inner ear in 2013 – Van Zandt is retired from the music industry. In addition 38 SPECIAL happen to leave for the base of Larry Jean Bergstrom also injuries of hand in 2014. However, the members that are left are now still, continued to live activities. This work, is such a superb audience shots that capture their appearance.
Of this work it has been shooting “May 24, 2014 Charlotte performance”. It is a show of just welcomed Barry Dunaway on the successor of the rally. Such this work up to the point of, superb quality. I multi-camera mix, but the main camera is shooting from distant seat of the stage left side (Bobby Caps closer). This angle is nice, what was two Kaisai front seat, or whether it was the venue construction camera, slipped through the overhead of 1 Kaisekikyaku, superb the first time that can face up to the stage. Although it is also Ballmer audience of sometimes 1 floor seats, whether it be the fingertip of the hand listed To most enters barely. We come jump is visibility full 38 SPECIAL.
On top of such a superb angle, further boldly challenge to zoom. Its more the first time, the West-up of each member is to fill the screen, the power of the digital equipment also Ikan’naku be exhibited, clearly visible to the hair and wrinkles. Also is Katsuaki in hand up the guitar solo to shine one by one string to reflect the illumination. In addition, a sense of stability is also nice, there is little camera shake by zoom up there. Again, …… it does not might be a venue set-up the camera using a tripod.
Sub-camera to support this main camera is also great. The main has been captured from the opposite side of the left side or the stage front, clear of is comparable to the main camera. Without multi-mix, it is more than enough masterpiece of Great shots in one by one. And, the sound is also ultra-clear appropriate at the sight. One of the guitar cutting one is sharp, glossy also vocal extending well. There is a fresh cheer also enter audience sound, musical sound itself Do you say that …… worthy to be referred to as “like a sound board”, if there is no video of the audience point of view, only as overdub the cheers to the sound board inaudible is quality of.
It is to be drawn in such a visual beauty and sound, superb entertainment hits and large representative music Tenkomori. While the three of three of the golden era, “Wild-Eyed Southern Boys,” “Special Forces”, “Tour De Force” to the axis, of 1980, which became the career work from “Rockin’Into The Night”, the latest in 2004 evenly summed up the career to create “Drivetrain”. Of the original 20 songs to be played, 14 songs’s the largess that single hit. Cover songs to add homeopathic in such a Greatest Hits. In addition to “Travelin ‘Band” in the CCR, which is becoming a familiar, show off your masterpieces such as “Good Times”, of ZZ TOP “Just Got Paid” of THE EASYBEATS. It would be “Live For The Music” especially rare Nanoha BAD COMPANY. Although the it began to be played from 2013, but most of the recording seems no record super-rare performance. And, is also great live the first time of their own. Singing voice of Don Barnes and Bobby Caps, spree growing increasingly glossy rather than decline. Denis – but can not help but feel the absence of a warm also catch – melody arrives strong live is about this side you are watching is encouraged.

Often, wrote thing has been, but the three factors of good work is “good sound (picture)”, “good songs”, “good performance”. Is a gem that all are aligned to the best. And playing as great sound to function as best album even without the video. Masterpiece of excitement that even the visual beauty that does not lose to it pops become lumped. This weekend, we will deliver to you your hand.

残念ながら2013年に内耳のトラブルを機にドニ―・ヴァン・ザントが音楽業界から引退。さらに2014年にはベースのラリー・ジャンストロームも手の怪我のために脱退してしまった38 SPECIAL。しかし、残されたメンバーは現在もなお、ライヴ活動を続けています。本作は、そんな彼らの姿を捉えた極上オーディエンス・ショットです。
本作が撮影されたのは「2014年5月24日シャーロット公演」。ラリーの後任にバリー・ダナウェイを迎えたばかりのショウです。そんな本作最大のポイントは、極上のクオリティ。マルチカメラ・ミックスなのですが、メインカメラはステージ左寄り(ボビー・キャップス寄り)の遠方席から撮影。このアングルが素晴らしく、2階最前席だったのか、それとも会場設営カメラだったのか、1階席客の頭上をすり抜け、ステージを直視できる極上ぶり。たまに1階席の観客も写りはしますが、それも高々と掲げた手の指先がかろうじて入るかどうか。視界いっぱいに38 SPECIALが飛び込んでくるのです。
そんな極上アングルの上、さらに果敢にズームにも挑む。その寄りぶりは、各メンバーのウェストアップが画面いっぱいになり、デジタル機材の威力もいかんなく発揮され、髪の毛やシワまではっきり見える。ギターソロの手元アップでは弦1本1本が照明を反射する輝きまでもが克明。さらには、安定感も素晴らしく、そこまでズームによっても手ぶれがほとんどない。やはり、三脚を使用した会場設営カメラなのかもしれません……。
このメインカメラをサポートするサブカメラも素晴らしい。メインとは反対側の左寄り、またはステージ正面から捉えられており、クリアさはメインカメラにも匹敵。マルチ・ミックスにせず、1台1台でも十二分に傑作なグレイトショットです。そして、その光景に相応しいサウンドもまた超クリア。ギターカッティングの1つ1つが鋭く、よく伸びるヴォーカルも艶やか。生々しい喝采も入るオーディエンス・サウンドではありますが、楽音自体は「まるでサウンドボード」と呼ぶに相応しい……と言いますか、客席視点の映像がなければ、サウンドボードに歓声をオーバーダブしたようにしか聞こえないクオリティなのです。
そんな映像美&音声で描かれるのは、ヒット曲・大代表曲てんこ盛りの極上エンターテインメント。黄金期の3枚『Wild-Eyed Southern Boys』『Special Forces』『Tour De Force』の3枚を軸にしつつ、出世作となった1980年の『Rockin’Into The Night』から、2004年の最新作『Drivetrain』まで満遍なくキャリアを総括。演奏されるオリジナル20曲のうち、14曲がシングルヒットという大盤振る舞いなのです。そんなグレイテスト・ヒッツにひと味加えるのがカバー曲。お馴染みになりつつあるCCRの「Travelin’ Band」のほか、THE EASYBEATSの「Good Times」、ZZ TOPの「Just Got Paid」といった名曲を披露。特にレアなのはBAD COMPANYの「Live For The Music」でしょう。2013年から演奏され始めたとはいえ、ほとんど記録らしい記録のない激レア・パフォーマンスなのです。そして、彼ら自身のライヴぶりがまた素晴らしい。ドン・バーンズとボビー・キャップスの歌声は、衰えるどころかますます艶やかに伸びまくる。ドニ―の不在を感じずにはいられませんが、暖かくもキャッチ―なメロディが力強く届くライヴは、観ているこちら側が勇気づけられるほどです。

度々、書いてきたことですが、良い作品の三要素は「良い音(画)」「良い曲」「良い演奏」。そのすべてが極上にそろった逸品です。映像なしでもベストアルバムとして機能するほど素晴らしいサウンドと演奏。それに負けない映像美までもが一緒くたになって飛び出す感動の傑作。今週末、あなたのお手元へお届けいたします。
