First of historical co-star to realize round-three days, you can be recap the dates of this tour Let’s trees.

Of Osaka and Nagoya the first half, press 4 Disc which was released last week “SPIRIT ON A MISSION IN JAPAN: OSAKA & NAGOYA” to complete recording. This 6CD is the full version of the Nakano Sun Plaza. Osaka and Nagoya are “West strongest taper” Mr. me to hear the recording of the whole body, and was recorded later in Nakano three days, recorded with sound such as sound board when the last time Michael came to Japan taper, who was Mise was. If you are a avid fan “BRIDGE THE GAP IN TOKYO: 2ND NIGHT (ZODIAC 061)” would that you are able to cheer only mentioned the title of. And, is not usually Tokyo also similarly tapered’s fighting spirit and Osaka and Nagoya of the second half. This time, people of the same taper fellow is a team, simultaneous recording of have went to the venue together. To compare each other’s tape, we received offers carefully selected the best ones. On the day, there is no clear or had around what cars of the recorder, this work is of the highest masterpiece recording Schlenk Re taper team.
Its contents whether such any of those. One day 28 songs in this work, the historic co-star but is not clogged all of the 84 songs in three days, everyone’s anxious still “Michael & Graham”. Let’s suddenly closing in on the heart!

[June 17, 2015: Tokyo first day] This tour is a translation was five performances in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo, but the basic set list is the same for both bands. GRAHAM BONNET It is the extent to which slightly different position of “Band Introductions” of BAND. So, Tokyo one-shot eyes of the “Desert Song” of attention is an 8-track eyes of the disk 2. Graham Led to “Very wonderful Graham Bonnet …” of Deguy White appeared! Because it is net era, the audience knows the Osaka and Nagoya of information is greeted with enthusiasm of “Kita~tsu!” Than tension. The position of “Nakano first day”, the fifth row from the center block foremost. There is no feeling of directness about the other day of the Nagoya performances, but fully captures the musical tone in a very clear sound.
And, finally, “Desert Song” is start …… Oh! Graham of tone is better than Osaka and Nagoya! Although every day of fatigue has been worried about, but rather, it seems fell vocals solved tensions in a good direction. Before guitar solo “cooling the maaaaaaan ♪” and to extend part is also long enough to suffer guitar solo, “How are you?” As floats is doss face of Graham called. In fact, I have to sing to stretch slightly and 5 days, and the bite to the sweet guitar solo is only this day. And “that voice” that “That solo” overlap, it’s the moment that dream in a dream that could not even be studio take to realize! Torihada~tsu !!!
One of the encore “Assault Attack”. Here “You et al. (Graham) want either? Come back to the stage,” Graham re-emerged in response in question the audience committed to the Deguy that, start without putting Kanpatsu! This is Graham you’ve been exciting to fail in Nagoya, but Zessho honor recovery in Nakano. I’ve left the audience in Osaka “Then goooo!” We also attack bravely. Deguy to duet to fall for also challenge the high notes of “Then goooo!” (The other day low fake) then, but his tone might be unsatisfactory.

[June 18, 2015: Tokyo Day 2] It is followed by Nakano Sun Plaza second day, but the center block fifth column here. Sound also boasts clear of the feeling that is similar, but there is also slightly muffled in the bass drum. Of course, there is no distortion or noise, and there is just a quality capable of withstanding the press, but when compared with 5 days, you may have a bad bee minute.
But! The contents of co-star is ……. If you are already familiar with the information, so as to tantalize the audience look forward to the Graham “I ze’s here?!” And play the fool Deguy. That he in it is introduced appeared Graham, begins “Desert Song” of great things! “Cooling the maaaaaaan ♪” stretched out, but I do two, slightly withered the other day before the day before than ever Graham best condition !! guitar solo. However, this day we will earnestly boil the audience from the first time a really smooth. Guitar solo second time just before, it does not stretch as the day before, but to listen to afford to put a play the melody. Michael solo that led to it also, has put Nechi~tsu carp nuance than the other day. In addition, the last solo Graham has been generous to put the ad-lib, I’m hot shout also Kemah. Among this “historic co-star”, “Desert Song” thought you might be the best-take of this day!?
And, of Angkor “Assault Attack”. Graham is the same kind of feeling with other day, but this day is a good combination with Deguy. Deguy is determined as “Then go!” What although fake, it has been firmly reproduce the melody, divided sing even the late part to sing one phrase Suttsu two people are relentlessly. On the other hand, has been almost every day perfect Michael for a moment, it issued a Misuton.

[June 19, 2015: last day] The last day, what is the front row recording! Increasingly clear and direct feeling is more, it is a sound that thin in Nagoya It was a very popular recently. Even so, …… and every day to ensure the team a good seat so far. “Desert Song” as spelled out in the best sound, Graham spirits. Did accustomed, shout it is also putting it was not on other days. Perhaps because of the clear sound quality, it has muffled somewhere fun likely sound even singing voice. Overall tone is feeling like Tokyo the first day, but Michael’s solo is Nechi~tsu depth that it can be said that the No. 1 in this tour. That of Graham when entering the solo “Cooling!” But had also put cool !! the other day, the place can be seen until if they say the, says it high-quality sound the first time of this third day.
Become this tour last co-star, “Assault Attack” of the third day, special MC without any, will rush in silence. Momentum is full of nuance of familiarity with the entire band and the last day. ‘s The looks good the condition of Deguy than ever to Graham, but partially did we release the microphone, there is also a place where hard to hear. short while also sad sweet guitar solo is the permeates song, but especially this day is great to nuance a little wow!

…… Again, we have used up the number of characters in only two songs × 3 days. I’m sorry. Of course, this work not only co-star I have packed no place exhaustively is all 84 songs of Nakano Sun Plaza 3 days. RAINBOW, UFO, SCORPIONS, MSG, even up to “Night Games” is a luxurious and lavish 6 Disc ultra classic pop out from the next to the next. Big favorite of summer 2015, which was boiled in “historical co-star”, the weekend finally now, to your hand!

さぁさぁさぁ! “マイケル・シェンカー&グラハム・ボネット”の奇跡の共演も、いよいよ後半戦ですよ!! 東京は中野サンプラザ3DAYSを総まとめした6枚組の大作プレスCDが大登場です! もちろん、GRAHAM BONNET BANDの冒頭からMICHAEL SCHENKER’S TEMPLE OF ROCKの終演まで、歴史的共演が実現した丸3日間の総てを100%本生記録っ!! まずは、今回ツアーの日程をおさらいしておきましょう。
大阪 :6月14日Zepp Namba
名古屋:6月15日ダイアモンドホール
東京 :6月17日中野サンプラザ【本作ディスク1・2】
東京 :6月18日中野サンプラザ【本作ディスク3・4】
東京 :6月19日中野サンプラザ【本作ディスク5・6】

前半の大阪・名古屋は、先週リリースされたプレス4枚組「SPIRIT ON A MISSION IN JAPAN: OSAKA & NAGOYA」に完全収録。今回の6CDは、中野サンプラザの完全版です。大阪・名古屋は“西日本最強テーパー”氏が渾身の録音を聴かせてくれましたが、後半の中野3日間を録音したのは、前回マイケルが来日した際にサウンドボードのようなサウンドで録音してみせたテーパー氏。熱心なファンの方なら「BRIDGE THE GAP IN TOKYO: 2ND NIGHT(ZODIAC 061)」のタイトル名を挙げただけで喝采していただける事でしょう。そして、後半戦の東京も大阪・名古屋と同じくテーパー氏の気合いが普通ではない。今回は、同じテーパー仲間の方々がチームを組み、一緒に会場へ赴いての同時録音。互いのテープを比較し、ベストなものを厳選してご提供いただきました。当日、何台のレコーダーが回っていたかは定かではありませんが、本作は手練れのテーパーチームの最高傑作録音なのです。
その内容はいかなるものなのか。本作には1日分28曲、3日間で84曲の総てが詰まっているわけですが、みなさん気になるのはやはり“マイケル&グラハム”の歴史的な共演。いきなり核心に迫ってみましょう!

【2015年6月17日:東京初日】
今回のツアーは大阪・名古屋・東京の5公演だったわけですが、基本的なセットリストは両バンドとも同じ。GRAHAM BONNET BANDの「Band Introductions」の位置がわずかに違う程度です。ですので、注目の「Desert Song」の東京一発目は、ディスク2の8トラック目です。ドゥギー・ホワイトの「Very wonderful Graham Bonnet…」に導かれてグラハムが登場! ネット時代ですから、大阪・名古屋の情報を知っている観客は、緊張よりも「キターッ!」の熱狂で迎えます。この「中野初日」のポジションは、センターブロック最前から5列目。先日の名古屋公演ほどのダイレクト感はありませんが、実にクリアなサウンドで楽音を捉えきっています。
そして、いよいよ「Desert Song」がスタート……おぉ! グラハムの調子が大阪・名古屋より良い! 連日の疲れが心配されましたが、むしろ、緊張の解けたヴォーカルが良い方向に転んだようです。ギターソロ前に「cooling the maaaaaaan♪」と伸ばすパートもギターソロに被るほど長く、「どうだ?」というグラハムのドヤ顔が浮かんでくるよう。実際、5日間とも伸ばし気味に歌ってはいますが、甘いギターソロにまで食い込むのはこの日だけ。“あの声”と“あのソロ”が重なり合うという、スタジオテイクですらあり得なかった夢の中の夢が実現する瞬間なのです! トリハダッ!!!
一方のアンコール「Assault Attack」。こちらは「お前ら(グラハムに)ステージに戻ってきて欲しいか?」というドゥギーの問いかけに観客が全力で応えてグラハムが再登場、間髪入れずにスタート! 名古屋では豪快に失敗してしまったグラハムですが、中野では名誉挽回の絶唱。大阪でも観客に任せてしまった「Then goooo!」も果敢に攻めてます。つられるようにデュエットするドゥギーも「Then goooo!」のハイノートに挑戦(他の日は低くフェイク)しますが、彼の調子は今ひとつかも知れません。

【2015年6月18日:東京2日目】
続いて中野サンプラザ2日目ですが、こちらもセンターブロック5列目。サウンドも似た感じのクリアさを誇っていますが、わずかにバスドラにこもりもある。もちろん、歪みやノイズはなく、プレスに耐えうるだけのクオリティではありますが、5日間で比較すると、ちと分が悪いかも知れません。
しかし! 共演の内容は……。すでに情報を熟知していて、グラハムを待ち望む観客を焦らすように「俺はココだぜ?!」と戯けるドゥギー。その彼に紹介されてグラハムが登場して、始まる「Desert Song」の素晴らしいこと! 前日にも増してグラハムは絶好調!! ギターソロの前に「cooling the maaaaaaan♪」の伸ばしを2回やるのですが、他の日には枯れ気味。ところが、この日は実に滑らかで1回目から観客を沸かしまくります。ギターソロ直前の2回目は、前日ほど伸ばしませんが、メロディに遊びを入れる余裕を聴かせる。それに導かれたマイケルのソロも、他の日よりネチッこいニュアンスを入れている。さらに、ラストのソロにもグラハムはアドリブを多めに入れており、熱いシャウトもキマっている。今回の“歴史的共演”の中でも、この日の「Desert Song」がベスト・テイクなのではないでしょうか!?
そして、アンコールの「Assault Attack」。グラハムは他の日と同じような感じですが、この日はドゥギーとのコンビネーションが良い。ドゥギーは「Then go!」こそフェイクするものの、メロディをしっかりと再現しており、2人で1フレーズすつ歌う後半パートでも歌い分けがビシビシと決まっている。その一方で、ほぼ連日完璧なマイケルが一瞬、ミストーンを出しています。

【2015年6月19日:最終日】
最終日は、なんと最前列録音! クリアさとダイレクト感が一層増し、先日大好評だった名古屋に肉薄するサウンドです。それにしても、連日ここまで良い席をチームで確保するとは……。そのベスト・サウンドで綴られる「Desert Song」は、グラハムがノリノリ。慣れてきたのか、他の日にはなかったかけ声も入れている。クリア音質のせいか、歌声にもどこか楽しそうな響きがこもっています。全体の調子は東京初日のような感じですが、マイケルのソロは今回のツアーでも1番と言えるネチッこさです。そのソロに入るときのグラハムの「Cooling!」がカッコイイ!! 他の日も入れていましたが、なんと言っているかまで分かるところが、この3日目の高音質ぶりを物語っています。
このツアー最後の共演となる、3日目の「Assault Attack」は、特別なMCもなく、無言で突入します。バンド全体で慣れと最終日の勢いが溢れるニュアンス。グラハムにも増してドゥギーの調子が良さそうなのですが、部分的にマイクを離していたのか、聴き取りづらいところもあります。短いながらも甘く切ないギターソロが染みる曲ですが、特にこの日はちょっとしたワウのニュアンスまで素晴らしい!

……やはり、2曲×3日間だけで字数を使い切ってしまいました。すみません。もちろん、共演だけでなく本作には中野サンプラザ3日間の全84曲が余すところなく詰まっている。RAINBOW、UFO、SCORPIONS、MSG、さらには「Night Games」まで、超名曲が次から次へと飛び出す豪華で贅沢な6枚組です。“歴史的共演”に沸いた2015年夏の大本命、ついに今週末、あなたのお手元へ!
