Famous halls from all over the world lined up in a row, and especially in Tokyo, it was re-added and reached 3 venues and 6 performances. The Shinjuku performance of this work was the final performance in such a tremendous area (By the way, the TV broadcast pro shot is also famous for the first visit to Japan, but the recording date is unknown. There may be multiple venues).
This work that recorded such a show is a really wonderful and powerful audience recording ……, maybe. I’m sorry I suddenly became weak, but the more I listen, the less confident I am. It is a new excavation master that appeared recently, and it is probably a guest record because it is released as a microphone recording. However, the playing sound that flows out is clear, vivid, and zero distance. The core is powerful, there is no sense of space in the tone, and each note of the bass run is clear. Audience recording from the lively cheers and clapping … Wait? The TV broadcast was overdubbed with strangely vivid cheers. Maybe the same sound board as TV !? No, the cheers and MC are different …
It is a popular full show that is drawn with such an exquisite sound. The TV pro shot mentioned above had some cuts due to the broadcasting frame, but this work is a consistent full recording from beginning to end. Let’s organize them while comparing them here.
● NIGHT SONGS (9 songs)
・ Once Around The Ride / Nothin’for Nothin’/ In From The Outside / Night Songs / Push, Push / Back Home Again / Nobody’s Fool / Somebody Save Me / Shake Me
● Others (5 songs)

・ Others: Talk Is Cheap / Tokyo Blues Jam / Jumpin’Jack Flash
* Note: The “★” mark is a song that could not be heard on the TV broadcast pro shot “SHAKES JAPAN 1987”.
…… And it looks like this. Naturally, “NIGHT SONGS” is the axis, and all songs except “Hell On Wheels” are played out of all 10 songs. There are also two songs from “LONG COLD WINTER” and new songs such as “Talk Is Cheap” that will be included in “STILL CLIMBING”.

The legendary first visit to Japan realized by pulling the shocking debut work “NIGHT SONGS”. The multi-camera pro shot that carved the shining show with the highest quality is the gift release decision.
Their first visit to Japan was realized in the summer of 1987, about a year after the release of “NIGHT SONGS”. First, let’s take a look at the schedule at that time, which shows how popular it was at that time.
・ August 5: Nagoya Civic Assembly Hall
・ August 6: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall
・ August 8: Gotanda Simple Insurance Hall
・ August 10: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall
・ August 11: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall
・ August 12: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall
・ August 13: Shibuya Public Hall (additional performance)
・ August 15: Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall (re-additional performance)
Above, all 8 performances. Despite his first visit to Japan shortly after his debut, there are a lot of famous halls in each area. In particular, Tokyo has been re-added to 3 venues and 6 performances, and you can see from the schedule how shocking their appearance was. The popularity that exploded after the first visit to Japan is not limited to the number of performances, and the pattern is also broadcast on TV at a certain satellite broadcasting station. This work is the multi-camera pro shot.
The quality of this work is also excellent. Although it is analog shooting, the master freshness is excellent and the screen is really glossy with no dubbing deterioration or uneven running. The vivid colors are the same as they were at that time … Rather, they are so vivid that you can’t think of them in the 1980s. Although the telop of “This concert is broadcast in B-mode stereo” radiates a sense of the times, it is a visual beauty that seems to be an official laser disc without it.
The show drawn with that quality is dazzling as if the shining popularity was just like an image. The four people who have the same artwork as “NIGHT SONGS” can get rid of their youth. Tom Keifer, who is reminiscent of Steven Tyler in both standing and mic-judgment, roars Brian Johnson’s crouching voice, and Eric Brittingham and Jeff LaBar squeeze the stage, shaking their fluffy hair. It spins around. It vividly decides how to turn the guitar and bass, which was a hot topic at the time.
Not only the action but also the show content is exactly “moving NIGHT SONGS”. He will play all songs except “Hell On Wheels” out of 10 songs on the album, along with Tom and Jeff’s solo corner and the initial version of “Talk Is Cheap” which will be recorded in “STILL CLIMBING” later. Not only Fred Coury but also Jeff participated in the drum solo as percussion. We are showing off the battle happily.
That masterpiece is drawn in an enlarged version with a video, but more than that is the cover. In the middle of the show, the local blues “Tokyo Blues” will be unveiled, and BB King’s “Rock Me” will be interwoven there. And the encore last is a big circle with “Jumpin’Jack Flash” of Stones! It is youthful immediately after debut that the appearance of the ancestors flickers at the ends of the performance, but with such a cover, a pure youthful longing explodes. Tom’s already hot singing voice becomes even hotter, and it is even hotter than the original. At that time, they were touted as “BON JOVI’s younger brother”, but in reality they were much more earthy than BON JOVI and loved the blues deeply from the time of their debut. It seems to be a gorgeous LA metal incarnation, but it also shows a lot of deep nature that can not be done by itself.
CINDERELLA in 1987, which was sweeping the world with its shocking debut. It is a masterpiece video that you can witness the youthful enthusiasm with an official-class professional shot. A masterpiece that jumps out of the artwork of “NIGHT SONGS” and draws those famous songs with hot live performances. Please take this opportunity to fully enjoy yourself.
