Congratulation! Japan landed decision !! of MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST
Last year, but is 33 years to become Graham Bonnet and Michael Schenker who played a “reunion”, in August of this year, a whopping addition to Graham, Gary Baden, former singer three of Robin McAuley is it came to Japan in Soroibumi! This week that the shock news is crisscrossed the archipelago, we offer a gift that bulged expected to explode.
This time Baden, Graham, but – would be three people with the co-star of Macquarie, the Baden and came to Japan in 2010, official work “THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT: LIVE IN TOKYO” even familiar. Graham and co-star last year’s live album “SPIRIT ON A MISSION IN JAPAN: OSAKA & NAGOYA (ZODIAC 136)”, “same TOKYO 3 NIGHTS (ZODIAC 137)” enjoy “ROCK OF AGES FESTIVAL 2015 (ZODIAC 171)” you. Problem is, Robin McAuley. McAULEY SCHENKER GROUP on top does not remain also not worth mentioning record, even before the story 24 years. So the there is no, but it does not stand in the role to predict this year’s live. So is this work to appear. Macquarie and Michael in 2012’s the best video that was played!
McAULEY SCHENKER was formed in 1986 GROUP might did not have a good impression so much to Schenker fan of yesteryear in American pop sound due. However, genuine Irish Voice voice quality of Macquarie was full of wet texture even in husky. Schenker sound and I compatibility was also good, and there is nothing of quality that may also become a Ketteiban to you listen to at the time of the live to the regrettable thing. Only live is unplugged left in the official to (it it was great I but in) is, very little broadcasting sound source sound is now two …. However! Had put an end to such impatient situation’s the this work. Has met with co-star of 20 years, ultra-high-quality quality of crunchy by digital photography in 2012. Like beauty in the Macquarie and Michael, such as the official video (lock of!) I combination is seen plenty !!

This work is a video set of 2DVDR that contains the 2 performances of such a precious reunion tour in the audience shot of preeminent. First, the first piece is “Corona February 24, 2012” performances. Immediately to play, will be pulled out of the de liver to its quality. The foremost shooting unique, shield stage is spread in full sight opened not at all, plenty of zoom approaching Macquarie is to the front of the eye. Despite much of the super close, at an angle that was stable with no camera shake, When the band also camera and maybe …… there is no practice swing to worry about, this might be the stakeholders shooting.
Then, the sound just because foremost has also picked up the PA directly, direct feeling of the sound board just like. Ear directly, it seems Michael is a guitar and Macquarie of singing voice is poured. Although this time of the video is up a few also in Youtube, or was a roar, shaking shaking full, or was essential Macquarie is off slightly, just really disappointing. Visual beauty of this work is different at all dimensions and such a thing. So, I know so! Rock of Macquarie Schenker in this Quality wanted to hear, I wanted to watch I !!
Show that unfolds in its quality is also amazing. Michael, even in recent years, but was let me listen to the guitar work, not knowing the decline, there is no completely wane even Macquarie to be seen in this work (59 years old at this point!). 80’s and abiding an inch, stunning Vaud Cali tion. Ronnie James Dio dead now, the monster that is beyond the age in the HR / HM community but I thought that there are only Glenn Hughes, it must also be added Macquarie name …. Its power is to burst is the SCORPIONS number. I would like you anyway to listen to “Lovedrive”! TEMPLE OF ROCK, but had also been good fight Doogie White, who served as front of, but still forced to survive in a fake when it comes to SCORPIONS song (final performance of the octave …… you can not forget the devastation of the Black Out was lowered) . However, Macquarie is endless sing without any fake, and yet for a moment as the “Klaus Meine!?”, You to listen to doubt such exquisite tone the ear. Sorry to Deguy, but the actor is different and I would like to clear. Too difference.
And despite all Unlike Phil Mogg when it comes to UFO number, husky voice quality of taste explodes. It astringency …… Nante expressive power of “Love To Love” to sing in To bitten and tightened so carefully! In addition, at this time of the visit to Japan, most classic group of watch is not the MSG “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie,” “Rock My Nights Away,” “On And On”, “Attack Of The Mad Axeman” is also a large amount show off. Of course, while proud of the sense of stability of the preeminent and “just your good singer”, us completely to hear in a different dimension of poetic sentiment. I can not imagine from the 80s pop image, Germans and mellow net European sound world is spread …… Irish people unique.
So, taste of this work, it’s also in this net Europe sound world. I have chanted the “decline knowing” “not different from the 80s” – but, here at the time the 1980s, Macquarie is not to the hair style and strange reticuline dance like a nightmare. Are you in here, astringent texture in the whole body black, singing majestically, put Irish singer guests. If the future, even as McAULEY SCHENKER GROUP of professional shot of the 1980s has been unearthed, will not be more than this work.
The second piece about “March 1, 2012 Libertyville” of one week after the performance. This is Ikazu the shield zero because it is not in the front row, half a step in the sense of stability in the “February 24, corona” of super quality, one step in the Sound, a place beyond. However, here the point is the shooting of Michael side. Among the plenty of atmosphere of the club venue, or even this! And I camera work chasing Michael. McAULEY SCHENKER GROUP of pronoun “Save Yourself” But, hand Kirekkire will be watched plenty!

2012 Michael this work has been shooting, in addition to Michael Voss of Macquarie, Deivuddo van landing, and Doogie White, was played with a variety of singers. However, only about one and a half months only of Macquarie there in it, was confronted by the dignity of the “truly original buddy”. 4 years from this video, but finally he come back to Japan as a member of the MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST!
Taste from the 80s of the image that has been at the mercy of the era undervalued tend to his true of the ability, power of expression in fully, determined precious valuable video. Beyond the dimension simply referred to recent years of live video, reaffirmed the career of Michael Schenker, this one I think deepens to whether McAULEY SCHENKER GROUP had any possibility. McAULEY SCHENKER GROUP is the favorite one, of course, even those who would think, “I good only Baden and Graham”, please have a look once. This is what, singer: Robin McAuley of ability. Whether Katsumoku to the singing voice!

本編プレスCD『BUDOKAN 1988 1ST NIGHT』は、“McAULEY SCHENKER GROUPの頂点記録”に君臨する新名盤。そのボーナスには“これまでの頂点”たる大傑作映像をお贈りします。
なんと言っても凄いのは、本作は関係者によるプロフェッショナルな撮影ということ。もっとも、いわゆる「プロショット」で思い出されるマルチカメラ放送などとは違い、ステージ正面の客席後方に設置された会場設営のワンカメ。しかし、ズームを多用した映像美は間違いなくプロショットでして、ロビン・マッコーリーやマイケル・シェンカーは当然として、ドラムのボードー・ショホフでさえ、前髪の1本1本まで鮮やかに映し出される。しかも、設営カメラだけに安定感もバツグン。そこまでズームに寄っても瞬間の手ブレさえなく、見どころを追いまくってくれるのです。
そんな強烈な映像美にも負けないのが音声。こちらも会場録音のサウンドボードが被せられ、本編プレスCDでは聴けない「Time」までバッチリ観られる。まさにMcAULEY SCHENKER GROUP最強の映像作品なのです。「そこまで凄いなら、本編プレスCDより上じゃないか?」と思われるかも知れません。実は、ある意味その通りだったりもするのですが、ただ、あえて難を言うならモノラル気味でややギターが抑えめのバランスが惜しい。他のバンド、ギタリストなら申し分ないレベルとは言え、やはりM.S.G.ですからギブソンのフライングVに堂々と主役を張って欲しい。その聴き応えで、本編プレスCDの方に軍配を上げてしまうのです。

ただでさえ貴重なMcAULEY SCHENKER GROUPが、プロショットで観られる……もう、その1点に尽きます。ロングのブロンドを後ろに束ね、デニムで身を固めたマイケル。獅子舞のような盛り髪でゆさゆさとヘッドバンギングするロビン。狭いクラブに“1988年”ならではの時代感が猛烈に漂う。他のいかなる時代とも違う2人の姿が極上映像に映し出され、その歌声もギターもサウンドボードで浴びられる大傑作映像なのです。
この映像とルックスは変わっていますが、この2人が並び立つ光景がもうすぐ観られる。ポップながらも存分に泣いていたMcAULEY SCHENKER GROUP。28年前に実現した来日公演の史上最高記録である本編プレスCDに加え、そのプロショットの極上光景で目撃できる本作。McAULEY SCHENKER GROUPの頂点を極める2本による豪華セット。今週末、あなたのお手元にお届けいたします。
