Bon Jovi / Paris 1993 / 2CDR / Shades
BON JOVI from the “KEEP THE FAITH” era reigned at the top of the scene with three consecutive multi-platinum hits starting with “SLIPPERY WHEN WET.” Introducing a new masterpiece that allows you to experience the majestic stage of a super-big name.
What is inscribed in this work is the “Paris performance on September 15, 1993”. This is the best audience recording. Speaking of the “KEEP THE FAITH” era, the official video “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI” is a symbol, and the famous recording “STOCKHOLM 1993 (Shades 1579)” that was discovered last year is also fresh in the memory. First, let’s take a look at the overview of activities at the time and understand their positional relationships.

This is BON JOVI in 1992/1993. “STOCKHOLM 1993” was released two months before the performance in Japan, but this work was released three months later. This was the 18th concert of “Europe #2″.
This work, which is a vacuum-packed version of such a show, is a beautiful recording with a refreshing and beautiful crystal clear atmosphere. You won’t mistake it for a sound board based on the tone, but the core that penetrates the transparent space is powerful, and the details are clear down to the smallest details. It embodies the “audience ideal” of fully absorbing the realistic large chorus spectacle, but without any close-up singing. “STOCKHOLM 1993” was also of the highest quality, but I would say that this work is not inferior to it…However, this work surpasses it in terms of the clarity of the vocals and the beauty of the detailed sound, down to every single word of the lyrics. There may be.
Maybe it’s no surprise that it has such a great sound. In fact, this work was created by Stephane, a master artist who is currently a hot topic in the collector world. It is a signature item that was digitized directly from the original master. This person was a recorder who made a large number of famous recordings in continental Europe in the late 80’s and early 90’s, including IRON MAIDEN’s press masterpiece “DEFINITIVE PARIS 1993 (Zodiac 469)” and SCORPIONS’ “PARIS 1990 (Shades)”. 1737)”, MOTLEY CRUE’s “PARIS 1989 (Shades 1761)”, and WHITESNAKE’s “DORTMUND 1990 DEFINITIVE MASTER (Shades 1821)”, he has released a series of extremely clear masterpieces. This work is the BON JOVI edition, which is the latest work of such a master collection.
What is depicted with such a beautiful sound is a treasure chest of masterpieces that are similar to but different from “STOCKHOLM 1993”. Here, let’s organize the set while also comparing it with the official work “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI”.
●Wild in the Streets (6 songs)
・Wild In the Streets (★) / You Give Love A Bad Name (★) / I’d Die For You (★★) / Wanted Dead Or Alive / Livin’ On A Prayer / Never Say Goodbye (★★)
●Keep the Face (5 songs)
・I Believe (★)/Bed Of Roses/Keep The Faith/I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead/In These Arms (★)
●Others (8 songs)
・New Jersey: Born To Be My Baby (★) / Lay Your Hands On Me / Bad Medicine / Blood On Blood (★)
・Others: Can’t Help Falling In Love (★★) / Blood Money (★) / Blaze Of Glory / Help! (★★)
*Note: Songs marked with “★” were not heard in the official video “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI”. In particular, the songs marked with “★★” were not even in our store’s “STOCKHOLM 1993.”
…and it looks like this. The set has undergone minor changes, perhaps as a result of the 5 months that have passed since “STOCKHOLM 1993”, or perhaps a breath of fresh air for the second round in Europe. In place of “Dry County,” they will perform the famous songs “I’d Die For You” and “Never Say Goodbye.” Of course, the cover has been completely replaced for fun, with Elvis’ “Can’t Help Falling In Love” and the Beatles’ “Help!” selected.
Even so, it’s even more beautiful than “STOCKHOLM 1993,” which I thought “I’d be lucky to have one on one tour.” As expected, the “Stephane” collection is attracting the attention of collectors around the world. “Beautiful sound that can only be achieved by the audience” dug out by the master Omoto master. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.
★Excellent audience recording of “September 15, 1993 Paris Performance”. Mastered by the much-talked-about master “Stephane”, this is a beautiful recording with a refreshing and beautiful crystal clear atmosphere. Her core is strong and her details are clear down to the smallest details. It embodies the “audience ideal” of fully absorbing the realistic spectacle of a large chorus, but without any close-up singing. This is a new masterpiece packed with famous songs from the three great albums “SLIPPERY WHEN WET”, “NEW JERSEY”, and “KEEP THE FAITH”.
