ヒューイ・ルイス&ザ・ニュース「SPORTS 30TH ANNIVERSARY: TOKYO 2013 2ND NIGHT」の初回ナンバリング入りステッカー付に限り、「Hard At Play」リリース期に行われた、1992年日本ツアーより、2日連続で行われた代々木オリンピックプール初日、4月10日のライヴを約2時間に渡って当時の生中継テレビ放送より、プロショット完全収録した「HARD AT PLAY IN TOKYO」
HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS – HARD AT PLAY IN TOKYO(Special DVDR)
Live at Yoyogi Olympic Pool, Tokyo, Japan 10th April 1992

Broadcast Date: 10th April 1992 (19:00-21:00)

1991年にリリースされた6枚目のアルバム「Hard at Play」に伴う、1992年の日本ツアーから、2連続公演が行われた代々木オリンピックプールの初日、4月10日のライヴを、生中継テレビ放送映像で完全収録。80年代後半から90年代初頭にかけてのヒューイ・ルイス&ザ・ニュースの日本での人気は凄いモノがあり、東京でも1985年は武道館、87年は後楽園球場、89年は2日連続の東京ドームでのカウントダウンライヴの大トリと、まさに飛ぶ鳥を落とす凄まじいまでの人気を誇っていたわけです。アルバムセールスに若干陰りが出てきた時期とはいえ、名作をコンスタンスに発表し、日本では根強いファン層を掴んでいたヒューイ・ルイス&ザ・ニュースの92年東京公演は、同日夜7時から生中継されていました。ただ、当日が雨のため、開演が遅れていたようで、テレビ局は事前に録画しておいたインタビューを流し、更には、ステージに向かうメンバーが歌うアカペラChain Gangを延々と流す等、なかなか楽しくも大変そうなオープニングが観れます。コンサートは約12分遅れでスタート。以降は、代表曲と新曲を織り交ぜながらのグルーブ感に満ちた力強いライヴを展開しています。巨大なステージで頼もしくも堂々たるパフォーマンスで魅せるヒューイの歌いっぷりは圧倒的な存在感に満ちています。バンドの放つ鉄壁のアンサンブルも凄いものがあります。この時期は、当然、オリジナルメンバーのギターのクリス・ヘインズ、ベースのマリオ・シポリナが在籍しており、各所で素晴らしいプレイを聴かせてくれます。The Power Of Love は3曲目で早々と演奏。大量導入された「Hard at Play」からの新曲は、もうライヴでやらない曲も多く、セット的にも興味深い内容になっています。観客の席の様子もたっぷりと映りますが、これもまた1990年代の初頭らしく、非常に懐かしい感じです。ヒューイ・ルイスのパフォーマンスと魅力も凄いですが、この時代の洋楽のパワーは凄いものがあったことが良く分かる一枚と言えるでしょう。2時間たっぷり楽しめる大推薦の一枚。オリジナル・メニュー付。
