David Lee Roth / San Francisco 1986 1st Night / 2CDR / Shades
Cow Palace, Daly City, CA, USA 12th December 1986
David Lee Roth in 1986, who embodied the strongest transcendence technique & entertainment hard rock in history, accompanied by Steve Vai & Billy Sheen. Introducing a new master piece that conveys the true value of the so-called “EAT ‘EM BAND”.
“December 12, 1986 San Francisco performance” is imbued in this work. It is a superb audience recording that records the whole picture. EAT ‘EM BAND left two studio albums, but Billy left before the start of the “SKYSCRAPER Tour”. The strongest stage in history was unfolded only in the 1986/1987 North American tour. First, let’s look back at the outline of such a historical tour.
● 1986
《“EAT ‘EM AND SMILE” will be released on July 7》
・ August 16-October 11: North America # 1 (38 performances) ← * DETROIT 1986 etc.
・October 23-December 20: North America #2 (39 performances) ← Coco
● 1987
・ January 7-February 22: North America # 3 (28 performances) ← ※ NASSAU COLISEUM 1987
《Spring: Production of “SKYSCRAPER” begins》
This is the overall picture of the “EAT ‘EM AND SMILE Tour”. It was all North America, but it can be roughly divided into three with a short break off, and the San Francisco performance of this work was recorded in “North America # 2” in the middle. This leg is also the main production area for name recordings, so let’s focus on the schedule and organize the collection.
-Details of North America #2
・October 23-31 (7 performances)
*November 1 “MONTREAL 1986 (video)”
・November 2-December 10 (24 performances)
*December 12th: Performance in Safrancisco ← This work
・November 13: Performance in Safrancisco
* December 14 “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986 (press CD)”
・December 16-19 (3 performances)
* December 20 “L.A. FORUM 1986 2ND NIGHT”
… and it looks like this. The presence of the masterpiece press masterpiece “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986 (Shades 1785)” is shining, but the San Francisco performance of this work is the latest. It is a concert just two days ago.
This vacuum-packed show is actually similar in sound to “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986”. Anyway, the clearness of the chest is wonderful, and the details are clear to the outline. Especially amazing is the guitar and vocals. The phantasmagoric guitar is clear to the slightest nuances of arming, and the vocals feel almost zero distance. Far from one word of the lyrics, you can clearly taste the changes in the nuances contained therein. Compared to “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986”, I feel like I want a little more strength in the bass, but it’s also neat, so it wouldn’t be strange if this work was preferred (perhaps the same is true for the recording artist). Maybe… they are similar enough to make you think so).
Such a “sound of change of kings” is a transcendental full show that will make you want to praise “the strongest in rock history”. As expected, the set and contents are very similar to the latest “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986”, but let’s repeat it here just in case.
●Eat M and Smile (8 songs)
・Shy Boy (★)/Tobacco Road/Elephant Gun (★)/Ladies Night In Buffalo? (★)/Bump And Grind (★)/Big Trouble (★)/Yankee Rose/Goin’ Crazy!
● Others (9 songs + α)
・Flame Tinder: On Fire/Ice Cream Man/Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love
・1984: Panama/Jump
・Others: Unchained/(Oh) Pretty Woman/Everybody Wants Some!!/California Girls
*Note: “★” marks are exclusive songs only for Kobo “EAT ‘EM AND SMILE Tour”.
“Hmm, it’s still amazing.” Too awesome. If “Elephant Gun”, “Ladies Night In Buffalo?”, “Bump And Grind”, and “Big Trouble”, which are masterpieces but limited to this tour, are also delicious, VAN HALEN numbers that have been enhanced with Vai & Scene’s virtuosity are also sharp. And a string battle that snows from the deadly “Yankee Rose”. Even if it’s just stupid tech, it’s amazing, but the phrases it spins are cool, and it’s extremely fun with humor. And even if you put such a pair of transcendental techniques on both sides, far from being erased, the diamond will not give up the main role, and the brilliance will be even more dazzling. It’s a really great band.
Even if “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986” is a masterpiece, listening to just one song dozens of times can get boring. This work is the best in such a case. You can enjoy a completely different live performance one more time with a quality that is so thin that you think it is a sister product. For collectors who aim to complete EAT ‘EM BAND, this is a new masterpiece that I would like to recommend to those who are satisfied with just “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986”. A book that allows you to taste that excitement and excitement again. Go ahead and experience it to the fullest!
★ The best audience recording of “December 12, 1986 San Francisco performance”. It is a super-name recording that is close to the masterpiece press masterpiece “DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1986”, and the clearness of the heart is wonderful, and the details are clearly defined. Especially amazing is the guitar and vocals. The phantasmagoric guitar is clear to the slightest nuances of arming, and the vocals feel almost zero distance. It is a new name board that you can experience the best entertainment show called the strongest in history.
