80s of metal magician that appeared in the 21st century, the name Per Erik !! Per Erik the masterpiece recording has emerged once again of, etc. “SEVENTH SON OF STTOCKHOLM” of IRON MAIDEN, was active mainly in the late 80s taper. Was not there until recently likely “of the 80s Nordic” and is a recording artist to me revived in high-quality sound. This time, it was jumped from his collection is WHITESNAKE! Kano magician, you can / poor workmanship that the difference of the recording, but this time winner recording of pat. Of course, more than that dwells the magic of magician, you have to I must posterity to the left in the best form. Permanent preservation of the release is determined by the press 2CD specification !!

The Kano magician has turned the recorder is the Stockholm concert of August 21, 1990. Speaking of 1990 of WHITESNAKE, official of also been Donington (August 18) dissolution performances and large impressed (Budokan September 26) but is famous, this work is between “Donington performances next of live “. Starting in and around the Europe as MONSTERS OF ROCK tour the Donington, it was the Nordic version. Globe Arena, which became the venue is a spherical dome that was just completed in 1989, has now also been known as the world’s largest hemispherical building. In other words, the magician has happened is a translation was (at the time) the latest, the world’s leading acoustic facilities.
Sound of a, of this work to demonstrate it. Each instrument is separated into clean, tightly core is through. While feel the breadth of the more that can be MONSTERS OF ROCK, it is no small fires only exquisite sound of contours. Voice of the audience while convey the enthusiasm of the large crowd, you do not clash with music in the sense of scale plenty as the official board. “What, what I was Roku~tsu in position?” Per reminiscent with, it is truly a place such as magician. In fact, this sound does not lose to High name board of honor “FINAL JUDGEMENT (Shades 390)”. Was recorded dissolution performance of large impression, on the far better of this work force, even compared to the Kano name board. In fact, the clear is not outdone even half a step to “FINAL JUDGEMENT”, I feel you have plus the only powerful Spectacle. This side is another favorite of the level, but it would be best recordings fully capture the true value of “Unusual gorgeous WHITESNAKE”. (Of had Cheap An ‘Nasty cut the tape change 4:15, 8:53 deficiency of Is not No Love In The Heart Of The City is, be to insert a different sound source in this board, in non-cut you can enjoy.)

In fact, this gorgeous feeling is hardly anything instead. At that time is the criticism was also home to many was Steve Vai “SLIP SNAKE”, gorgeous locks are not looking at the history class so far. In addition, or moving stage separately, there is no mean rotate someone. Wow it because he feels a “Nante gorgeous!” Only in the sound. Kavu~aderu itself, and “forgive as long, and It was a gorgeous rock show. Like I like Circus” had been said, it is to say, “it is it worth to do, is worth too much to do” his belief and end up should you not was far north.
Then, Kavu~aderu went announced was advocating a “astringent” through the fusion COVERDALE / PAGE of the legendary “RESTLESS HEART” “INTO THE LIGHT”. Indeed, at the time, but there was “SLIP OF THE TONGUE” also tells the bitter era, have passed from there in ’25. WHITESNAKE reunited, Nagarae by playing the greatest hits of Geffen era, says “” RESTLESS HEART “Is the the was a real solo album” Kavu~aderu. “BURN” what was where his apex of career success that debuted in. It might it have been a “SERPENCE ALBUS”. However, he Unusual era, there were more than “was leading the era” moment is either would not was the “1990”.

In this work, the “spear too much of aesthetics” has been recorded Katsuaki. Has been official of “LIVE AT DONINGTON 1990” Needless to say is great, in this work, is engraved “truth” as seen from the side of the audience. Solo “SLIP OF THE TONGUE” tour, Tomosureba to is “Steve Vai prowess look” tends to be heard as, which introduced the actual “Slide It In” arrange ability and guitar ultra name board in “PASSION AND WARFARE” time, such as the Sykes has opened up the world of another dimension, “Crying In The Rain”, far from listening is located in the myriad. However, it is would like you to listen first, underlying strength of cum WHITESNAKE that Mise by revealer the “lock timeless”, and I a “Kavu~aderu of belief”. Precisely because of the roar only did not know “pathos of the singer” to proceed before a roaring, our hearts would have been moved without helpless. A lock that only could not be born in this era, the way of life of Kavu~aderu, super sound source that magician has been recorded in the strong force. In press 2CD permanent specification, it is a chance to join in your collection!

　21世紀に現れた80年代のメタル魔術師、Per Erikの傑作録音がまたもや登場しました!!　Per Erikは、IRON MAIDENの「SEVENTH SON OF STTOCKHOLM」など、80年代後期を中心に活動していた名テーパー。最近までありそうでなかった「80年代の北欧」を高音質で甦らせてくれる録音師です。今回、彼のコレクションから飛び出したのはWHITESNAKE！　かの魔術師は、録音の出来／不出来に差がありますが、今回はバッチリの勝ち組録音。もちろん、魔術師の魔力が宿っている以上は、ベストな形で後世に残さねばなりません。永久保存のプレス２CD仕様でリリース決定です!!

　かの魔術師がレコーダーを回したのは、1990年８月21日のストックホルム公演です。1990年のWHITESNAKEと言えば、オフィシャル化もされたドニントン（８月18日）や大感動の解散公演（武道館９月26日）が有名ですが、本作はその間となる“ドニントン公演の次のライヴ”。ドニントンを皮切りにヨーロッパ各地をMONSTERS OF ROCKツアーとして回っており、その北欧版でした。会場となったグローブ・アリーナは、1989年に竣工したばかりの球形ドームで、現在でも世界最大の半球状の建築物として知られています。つまり、魔術師が居合わせたのは（当時）最新・世界屈指の音響施設だったわけです。
　それを実証するのが、本作のサウンド。各楽器がキレイに分離し、しっかりと芯が通っている。MONSTERS OF ROCKが可能なほどの広さを感じさせながら、輪郭のボヤけない絶品サウンドです。オーディエンスの声も大群衆の熱狂を伝えながら、オフィシャル盤のようにスケール感たっぷりで楽曲とぶつからない。「一体、どんなポジションで録ったんだ？」と思わせるあたり、さすが魔術師といったところです。実際、このサウンドは名盤の誉れ高き「FINAL JUDGEMENT（Shades 390）」にも負けてない。大感動の解散公演を記録した、かの名盤と比べても迫力は本作の方が断然上。事実、クリアさは「FINAL JUDGEMENT」に半歩も引けを取らず、迫力・スペクタクルだけを上乗せした感じ。この辺はもう好みのレベルですが、“ゴージャスを極めたWHITESNAKE”の真価を捉えきったベスト録音でしょう。（テープチェンジのカットがあったCheap An’ Nastyの4:15、Ain’t No Love In The Heart Of The Cityの8：53の欠損は、本盤では別音源をインサートすることで、ノンカットで楽しむことができます。）

　事実、このゴージャス感は何も代え難い。当時は批判も多かったスティーヴ・ヴァイを擁した“SLIP SNAKE”ですが、ここまで絢爛豪華なロックは史上類を見ません。しかも、別にステージが動いたり、誰かが回転するわけでもない。音だけで「なんて豪華！」と感じさせるのだから凄い。カヴァデール自身、「許せる限り、豪華なロックショウだったよ。まるでサーカスのようにね」と語っていましたが、それはすなわち、彼の信念「やるべき価値のあることは、やりすぎる価値がある」が行き着くべき極北だったわけです。
　その後、カヴァデールは伝説との融合COVERDALE/PAGEを経て“渋味”を標榜した「RESTLESS HEART」「INTO THE LIGHT」を発表していきました。確かに、当時は「SLIP OF THE TONGUE」時代を辛辣に語ることもありましたが、あれから25年が経ちました。WHITESNAKEは再結成し、ゲフィン時代の大ヒット曲を演奏することで長らえ、「『RESTLESS HEART』は実質ソロ・アルバムだったのさ」と語るカヴァデール。「BURN」でデビューした彼のキャリア・成功の頂点はどこだったのか。それは「SERPENCE ALBUS」だったかも知れません。しかし、時代を極めた彼が、そこを超え“時代をリードした”刹那は「1990年」だったのではないでしょうか。

　本作には、その“やりすぎの美学”が克明に記録されています。オフィシャル化された「LIVE AT DONINGTON 1990」は言うまでもなく素晴らしいですが、本作には、観客の側から見た“真実”が刻まれている。「SLIP OF THE TONGUE」ツアーは、ともすれば“スティーヴ・ヴァイの腕前拝見”として聴かれがちですし、実際「Slide It In」におけるアレンジ能力やギター超名盤「PASSION AND WARFARE」を導入したソロタイム、サイクスとは別次元の世界を拓いた「Crying In The Rain」など、聴きどころは無数にあります。しかし、まず耳を傾けて頂きたいのは、“時代を超えたロック”を現出させてみせた絶頂WHITESNAKEの底力、そして“カヴァデールの信念”なのです。前に進むことしか知らなかった“情念のシンガー”の咆哮が轟くからこそ、私たちの心はどうしようもなく動かされてしまう。この時代にしか生まれ得なかったロックを、カヴァデールの生き様を、魔術師がド迫力に記録したスーパー音源。永久仕様のプレス２CDで、貴方のコレクションに加わるチャンスです！
