BON JOVI in 1993, when “KEEP THE FAITH” won the multi-platinum for the third consecutive time, even in the rock scene where heavy sounds have emerged. A live set that allows you to experience the glorious scene is now available.
This work contains two records of one show. It is a 3-disc set with DISC 1-2 for the super-superb audience recording of “Stockholm performance on April 17, 1993” and DISC 3 for the spectacular audience shot. Speaking of 1993, although the hair metal boom was over, BON JOVI himself was still in his prime. Let’s look back from the whole picture of the world tour where the momentum is transparent.

This is BON JOVI in 1992/1993. Speaking of the “KEEP THE FAITH” era, the official video “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI” is remembered, but that was the promotion period before and after the album release. The world tour, which repeats the stage and movement every night, has been since 1993, and the Stockholm performance of this work was the 14th performance of “Europe # 1”, which is the beginning of it. This work is an audience set that spells such a show with two records. Let’s introduce each one individually.

[DISC 1-2: Superb Full Live Album] The main feature of this work is the full audience recording on the 2-disc set. Speaking of why this is the main, it comes down to the superb sound. Anyway, it’s so beautiful that it’s furiously clear and sparkling. It’s not so close that it can be mistaken for a sound board, but it’s not too far away. A clear core like a laser beam penetrates the crystal-clear sense of air, and the details are clear to the smallest details. If you compare this feeling to Japanese recording, it is close to the prestigious Kinney. It is a name recording that thoroughly pursues “beauty because it is an audience” instead of a sound board.
“There’s a reason why it sounded so beautiful.” As a matter of fact, this recording was excavated from the virtuoso collection of the topic now. The master is “Crazy Tapes”. Very recently, it is a taper that has been announcing Northern European recordings in the early 90’s one after another, and at our shop, ACCEPT’s “LUND 1993 (Shades 1574)”, SCORPIONS / TESLA’s “STOCKHOLM 1991 (Shades 1578)”, Alice Cooper’s “SCANDINAVIA 1991 (Shades 1572)”, DEF LEPPARD’s “STOCKHOLM 1993 (Shades 1558)”, etc. have been very popular with each release. This DISC 1-2 is the BON JOVI edition, which is the latest bullet of such a master collection.

[DISC 3: Scenic video that allows you to experience the scene realistically] Following such a superb live album is an audience shot where you can fully experience the same show from a superb view seat. This is another great picture. I have a bad feeling that the screen is blurry right after the performance, but it’s a baseless worry. In the middle of the first track “I Believe” it is stable and extremely easy to see after that. As a matter of fact, the camera work is rather active, chasing after John running around the long runway, and repeating the highlights of each member by zooming in and out. However, even if you move violently, the camera shake is minimized, and even if it shakes, it recovers immediately. It’s a well-crafted shot that you’re obviously used to shooting.
And what you can witness in such visual beauty is a treasure chest of famous songs that conquered the whole earth. As mentioned above, the symbol of this tour is “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI”, so let’s organize it while comparing.

●Keep the Face (6 songs)
・I Believe (★)/Bed Of Roses/Keep The Faith/Dry County (★)/I’ll ​​Sleep When I’m Dead/In These Arms (★)
● Others (12 songs)
・Wild in the Streets: Wild In the Streets (★) / You Give Love A Bad Name (★) / Wanted Dead Or Alive / Livin’ On A Prayer
・New Jersey: Born To Be My Baby (★)/Lay Your Hands On Me/Blood On Blood (★)/Bad Medicine
・Blaze of Glory: Blood Money (★) / Blaze Of Glory
・Other covers: Bring It On Home To Me (★) / Drift Away (★)
*Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard in the official video “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI”.

The latest full live album in the “Crazy Tapes” collection, which is attracting the attention of HR/HM collectors around the world, and a spectacular shot that will let you witness the scenery that spreads “on the other side” of the new masterpiece. It is a 3-disc set where you can fully experience the wonderful “KEEP THE FAITH Tour” with two superb records. The last world tour with Alec John Thatch, please enjoy this work to the fullest.

★ Audience 3-disc set with super-superb recordings of “April 17, 1993 Stockholm performance” on DISC 1-2 and superb view shots on DISC 3. The main full recording is the “Crazy Tapes” collection, which is a hot topic right now, and is a beautiful name recording that is furiously clear and sparkling. On the other hand, the video version is also a superb view with a wide field of view, and the active camera work that follows John running around the long runway in the center of the screen is excellent. It is a gorgeous set where you can experience the best full show with plenty of famous songs that can not be seen in the official video “AN EVENING WITH BON JOVI”.
