Damn Yankees / East & West / 2DVDR

DAMN YANKEES, a super band that embodies the essence of American HR. Introducing a video collection that sets the precious live 2 performances. This work contains one performance each for the debut work “DAMN YANKEES” era and the second “DON’T TREAD” era. It is a 2-disc set that overlooks the steps to dissolution with a powerful Odin shot. Now, let’s introduce one performance at a time.

[Disc 1: Performance in Osaka on July 5, 1990] The first appearance is a valuable proof video of a performance in Japan. They came to Japan in 1990 and 1993, but this is their first visit to Japan. First, let’s imagine the position of the show in the schedule.

・ July 3: Kawasaki Club Citta
・ July 5: Osaka Festival Hall [This work] ・ July 6: NHK Hall

This work is an audience shot with tremendous acrobatic camera work. The video that became very popular as a gift title the other day, is a master that was recently excavated. I’m looking down from the stand seat right in front of the stage, but the zoom is so bold that I can’t tell the position. Tommy Shaw’s upper body occupies the screen when approaching, and when pulled, the perspective of the entire stage is repeated at a tremendous speed of less than 1 second. Furthermore, since it is chasing around Ted Nugent who is rampaging as the stage narrows, a variety of scenes appear one after another so that you forget the shooting position.
Moreover, this is strangely easy to see. If you shake it left and right while zooming, it will be difficult to see, but since switching members and tracking Ted are re-zooming after returning to the panoramic view once, there is no such thing as “the camera goes wild and you do not know where you are looking”. What’s more, thanks to the detailed view, you can naturally grasp the atmosphere of the entire stage. Even though it is a one-camera audience, it is a special sight like a multi-camera alone.
The roller coaster shot is a precious and luxurious “moving DAMN YANKEES”. All songs except “Runaway” were performed from the shocking debut, and there were Ted’s solo songs “Free-For-All” “Cat Scratch Fever”, NIGHT RANGER’s “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” “(You) Can Still) Rock in America ”, STYX’s“ Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) ”and“ Renegade ”are sprinkled. With such numbers, the mood changes at once as if the band has changed, but the original songs also have a strange sense of incongruity because they ooze each person’s career. This variety is really fun. At the same time, DON DOKKEN rarely played EUROPE or ACCEPT songs, but this violent manic state is the real thrill of the super band. The excitement of “Oh, this song too!” Heats the venue and further enhances the acrobatic camera work.

[Disc 2: March 23, 1993 New York performance] Next up is the finest footage from the “DON’T TREAD” era. This is also a master who has recently appeared, but it is a wonderful quality with no questions asked! It seems that the best video and audio are matched, and until the beginning of the first song “Don’t Tread On Me”, only the audio flows in the still image, but the sound is extremely wonderful. The strong and thick sound arrives straight, and the enthusiasm of the scene can only be heard in the distance. It’s not the type that is mistaken for a sound board, but the clearness and closeness are wonderful, even if you’re not good at line recording, you can escape barefoot. It’s a superb sound that works well even on a live album with only audio.
And I was surprised twice when the video came in suddenly while I was immersed in such a sound. This video is ridiculously wonderful! The camera work is not as unique as Disc 1, but the basic level is rather high. A spacious field of view with zero obstructions, a zoom that fills the screen with each gorgeous member, a sense of stability that does not shake the sense of stability while approaching that, and a shooting technique that firmly holds down the formation of the four people and the individual highlights. Although the image quality is analog-like, it has almost everything you want for an audience shot. It’s a masterpiece, a masterpiece, a masterpiece … It’s a video that makes you want to line up as many compliments as you want.
The show drawn with that quality has a wonderful overall feeling that is different from Disc 1. The set is evenly selected from 5 songs each from the 2 albums “DAMN YANKEES” and “DON’T TREAD”, and a total of 4 songs from each person’s career. The ensemble also becomes more like a band, maximizing the taste of wild but extremely catchy masterpieces. As with quality, this is an entertainment show that has everything that an American HR band wants.

Disc 1, which is a memorable first visit to Japan, and Disc 2, which embodies the ideal form of “American HR Audience Shot”. It’s valuable just to say “moving DAMN YANKEES”, but it’s a powerful two-disc set that spills out and spills out in a dimension that ignores it.
DAMN YANKEES generously sprinkled a delicious repertoire while being original and straightforward. A gorgeous rock show suitable for super luxurious mens. By all means, please fully experience the site with this work.
