Dave Lee Roth got his first solo career as a solo musician after the release of 2nd solo “SKYSCRAPER” 1988 Japan Tour was a major city in Hokkaido ranging from Hokkaido to Osaka, where 11 performances were booked Everything, mainly at the big venue), it was also a great commercial success. As for that situation, a good audience recording with “TOKYO SKYSCRAPER: BUDOKAN ROUND 1” on the first day of the Nippon Budokan performance first, and furthermore the best pro shot (partly) with that bonus title “DAVID LEE ROTH SPECIAL: SKYSCRAPER JAPAN TOUR 1988” You can enjoy it with.
But for enthusiastic fans, you will think that you want to “listen more” to Dave’s performance and Steve Vai’s Ultra Guitar. It is this 6 sheet set “SKYSCRAPER IN JAPAN” that meets the feelings of such fans.
This work remastered the excellent audience source of the Yokohama performance (the second day), the Osaka performance (the first day), and the Tokyo performance (the first day) released from the Power Gate label and the Shades label in the past from the original tape Then packaged in one. These sound sources were highly evaluated at the time of release when they were released by professional magazines as “good sound quality / good content”. Although the tapers are different in each of these three performances, there is no doubt that each was recorded with a fairly advanced microphone (the entire sound image is also rich in separation and recorded with an ideal balance). You can enjoy the dub’s ’88 years live sounds and titles representing the sound source at once in a sound that has been refined further here.
Disc 1 and 2 include the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium Performance on 24th September, which was once released as “LIVIN ‘IN PARADISE”. In addition to excellent brightness in this recording, it is characterized by an appropriate sense of distance between the taper and the stage. Dave’s vocals and Vai’s guitar, and Bissonet brothers’ rhythms, sounds that captured the band’s balance in a well-balanced manner are very attractive. The good balance between direct feeling and sound spreading may be easy for beginners of audience recording. In the mid stage of the live, Vai ‘s guitar comes up with superb clarity and realism, and’ I ‘m Easy’, ‘Stand Up’, acoustic part ‘I’ve Just Seen A Face’ etc. become a big listening place It is.
On Disk 3 · 4 you can enjoy Osakajo Hall performance on 27th September. This recording is “CASTLE CRAZY” is an excellent audience · source familiar to fans. I feel the stage is a little far, but from the viewpoint I took a step back, it is a sound image that makes me feel the excitement inside the building in a bird’s eye view. Above all, the sharp edges and high freshness unique to Master Quality and the spread of sounds like big venues are real and lively sounds unique to excellent live tapes, letting you listen to live performances.
Listen with the sound of this recording “Is not Talkin ‘About Love” VAN HALEN number, you will be able to enjoy a hard, solid musical sound that is a bit different from other sound sources. “Panama” and “Jump” are exquisite, especially the excitement and clapping in the places!
And Last Disc 5 · 6 includes the Yoyogi Olympic pool performances of September 30, the first day in Tokyo, from the original · cassette · master of “TOKYO YANKS”. This is a sound like enjoying recordings excellent in balance and direct feeling like the Yokohama performance from the opening “The Bottom Line”, with the edge at Osaka performance. Especially the musical sound which is excellent in proportion is even a feeling like a FM sauce which seems to be collected by the audience seats. Dave’s energetic performance is fresh, Vai’s technical guitar play is clarity not to be lost even for line sources, each one can hear it finely. The listening response of “Easy Street” and “Skyscraper” which this recording demonstrates to us and “Yankee Rose” followed by Vai’s guitar solo, “American National Anthem” is really irritating!
In any of the live performances, Dave’s solo work “CRAZY FROM THE HEAT”, two solo albums, and a set list composed of representative songs of VAN HALEN are listening and responding perfectly. We will unleash the best entertainment show with high unity. “I’ve Just Seen A Face” and “Wake Up Little Suzie” ‘s acoustic part as well as “Steel Drums Fantazy” appearing in the latter half of the show will also be a fun named scene beyond the usual lock concert. Even just enjoying it with sound, it seems that this gigantic flashy director appears in the eyes. It is also possible to imagine Dave’s unique showups such as “Skyscraper” which Dave gets off the rope from the ceiling, “Panama” sung in the center ring of the audience, “California Girl” It’s fun. From “Yankee Rose” that excavated the show’s climax, “Panama” from the American national anthem, “You Really Got Me” to “Jump”, everyone will be overwhelmed by a series of performance that folds!
A well-balanced Yokohama performance, the Osaka performance where the scale feeling unique to the big venue is the best, and the Tokyo performance recorded with neatness like a broadcast sound source. Depending on the characteristics and individuality of the sound, each live also appeals multilateral and multifaceted attractiveness. There is no losing in all three performances. This work is a definitive set title to make the taste of the 1988 visit to Dave as the solo shining the most! Please enjoy the gorgeous 6 sheets in total for about 340 minutes, on this opportunity for fans!

The recorded sound source of the three performances of 1988 when Dave Lee Ross performed the Japan tour for the first time as a solo was remastered using the original master cassette of the recording person and put together in a 6-disc CD-R It was done. The Japan tour of “SKYSCRAPER” at this time was 11 performances from September 20th to October 4th, although the bassist switched from Billy Scene to Matt · Bisonette, Dave’s popularity is alive and full of entertainment The luxurious show of the show was unfolded. After continuing good songs of Nori from the early stage, accented with a bluesy song, in the midfield we listen to the acoustic cover songs of the Beatles’ I’ve Just Seen A Face ‘and Everly Brothers” Wake Up Little Suzie ‘ In the latter half, the members showed off the steel drum with all of the members, and the live which was able to enjoy just enjoying van Halen’s songs effectively was interspersed. Although Billy has gone, Steve Vai’s superb guitar play can be listened to everywhere, and the interaction between Dave and Steve at the introduction section of “Yankee Rose” has also been fun and exciting. DISC 1 & 2 is a live performance at the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium on September 24, which is the second day in Yokohama performance, and the old title is “LININ ‘IN PARADISE.” It is stable with clear sound quality and there is sense of reality so you can see excitement well. DISC 3 & 4 is a live performance at Osaka-jo Castle Hall on September 27, which is the first day of Osaka performance, and the old title is “CASTLE CRAZY”. There is also Hall echo unique to the big hall, it seems to be recorded from the back seat. DISC 5 & 6 is a live performance at the Yoyogi Olympic pool on September 30, which is the first day of Tokyo performance, and the old title is “TOKYO YANKS”. Clear and good sound, the audience’s cheers are distant so it is a sound image like a monaural soundboard. In the encore of this day it is precious that James Brown’s “I’ll Go Crazy” and “Is not That A Groove” were played instead of “Ice Cream Man”.

デイヴィッド・リー・ロスは、2ndソロ「SKYSCRAPER」のリリース後、ソロミュージシャンとして初のソロキャリアを築きました。商業的にも大成功でした。そのような状況としては、日本武道館公演初日の「TOKYO SKYSCRAPER:BUDOKAN ROUND 1」でのオーディエンスレコーディング、さらにそのボーナスタイトル「DAVID LEE ROTH SPECIAL:SKYSCRAPERJAPAN」でのベストプロショット(一部) TOUR 1988 “と一緒にお楽しみいただけます。
しかし、熱狂的なファンにとっては、デイブのパフォーマンスとスティーブ・ヴァイのウルトラギターを「もっと聴きたい」と思うでしょう。そんなファンの気持ちにぴったりの6枚セット「SKYSCRAPERINJAPAN」です。
この作品は、過去にパワーゲートレーベルとシェーズレーベルからリリースされた横浜公演(2日目)、大阪公演(1日目)、東京公演(1日目)の優れたオーディエンスソースをリマスターしたものです。オリジナルテープその後、1つにパッケージ化。これらの音源は、プロの雑誌から「音質・内容の良さ」として発売された時点で高く評価されていました。これら3つの演奏はそれぞれテーパーが異なりますが、それぞれがかなり高度なマイクで録音されたことは間違いありません(音像全体も分離が豊富で、理想的なバランスで録音されています)。ここでさらに洗練されたサウンドで、ダブの88年のライブサウンドと音源を表すタイトルを一度に楽しむことができます。
ディスク1と2には、かつて「LIVIN’INPARADISE」としてリリースされた9月24日の横浜文化体育館公演が含まれています。この録音の優れた明るさに加えて、テーパーとステージの間の適切な距離感が特徴です。デイブのボーカルとヴァイのギター、そしてビソネット兄弟のリズム、バンドのバランスをバランスよく捉えたサウンドはとても魅力的です。直接的な感覚と音の広がりのバランスが良いのは、オーディエンス録音の初心者にとっては簡単かもしれません。ライブの途中で、ヴァイのギターは見事な明瞭さとリアリズムを生み出し、「I’m Easy」、「Stand Up」、アコースティックパート「I’ve Just SeenAFace」などが大聴きになります。場所です。
ディスク3・4では、9月27日の大阪城ホール公演をお楽しみいただけます。このレコーディングは「CASTLECRAZY」で、ファンに馴染みのある優れたオーディエンス・ソースです。少し遠い感じがしますが、一歩下がった視点から見ると、鳥瞰図で建物内のワクワク感を感じさせる音像です。何よりも、マスタークオリティならではのシャープなエッジと高いフレッシュさ、そして大きな会場のような音の広がりは、ライブテープならではのリアルで生き生きとしたサウンドであり、ライブパフォーマンスを聴くことができます。
このレコーディング「IsnotTalkin’About Love」のヴァン・ヘイレンナンバーのサウンドで聴くと、他の音源とは少し違う、硬くてしっかりとした音楽のサウンドを楽しむことができます。 「パナマ」と「ジャンプ」は絶妙で、特に興奮と拍手が絶妙です!
そしてラストディスク5・6には、「TOKYO YANKS」のオリジナル・カセット・マスターから、東京初日の9月30日の代々木オリンピックプール公演が収録されています。オープニング「TheBottomLine」から横浜公演のようにバランスとダイレクト感に優れたレコーディングを楽しんでいるような音で、大阪公演に端を発しています。特にプロポーションに優れた音楽的な音は、観客席に集められているようなFMソースのような感覚ですらあります。デイブのエネルギッシュな演奏は新鮮で、ヴァイのテクニカルなギター演奏はラインソースでも失われない明瞭さであり、一人一人がそれを細かく聞くことができます。このレコーディングが示す「EasyStreet」と「Skyscraper」、そしてVaiのギターソロ「AmericanNationalAnthem」に続く「YankeeRose」のリスニングレスポンスは本当に刺激的です!
いずれのライブでも、デイブのソロ作品「CRAZY FROM THE HEAT」、2枚のソロアルバム、ヴァン・ヘイレンの代表曲を集めたセットリストが絶妙に聴こえ、反応している。団結力のある最高のエンターテインメントショーを解き放ちます。ショー後半に登場する「夢の人」や「ウェイクアップリトルスージー」のアコースティックパートや「スティールドラムファンタジー」も、通常のロックコンサートを超えた楽しい名前のシーンになります。音で楽しむだけでも、この巨大な派手な監督が目に浮かぶようです。デイブが天井からロープを降りる「超高層ビル」、観客のセンターリングで歌われる「パナマ」、「カリフォルニア」など、デイブのユニークなショーを想像することもできます。
