The 2018 type Jeff Beck Group, which took a new dimension with a beautiful female cellist, Vanessa · Freeburn · Smith. Its gift / release decision is its latest and superb picture.
It is engraved in this work “Barcelona performance on June 28, 2018”. It is a superb audience shot that was shot from the front row. In our shop we introduced the video gift “PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO” as the first report of 2018, but this work is the second one following it. First of all, the position of the show before quality that matter. Let’s check in the ongoing tour schedule right now.

· June 8 – July 9: Europe (19 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
· July 18 – August 26: North America (27 performances)

This is the live schedule which has been published so far. Just recently finished Europe tour, the North American tour with about 10 days off. Now, it is in between. The other day ‘PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO’ was a tour second show, but this show’s Barcelona performance is a concert that will be a 12th performance that has progressed a lot.
Well, although it is this work that contained such a show, its quality is exquisite. As mentioned earlier, only the shadows of the front row are added as much as they were taken from the front row (staffs crossing in front of the stage will enter for a moment). It is almost same as the camera pit, and it is the same distance feeling, and it is possible to keep up looking at the appearance of Jeff from near the Do not change from Pro Shot anyhow. Moreover, when zooming from that close proximity it gets even closer. Although limited angularly, Ronda Smith, Vinnie Carita’s solo, Jimmy Hall singing hotly can also be enjoyed with professional-grade dough ups. “PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO” was also a masterpiece picture, but the closeness of this book’s work and the deep power are not comparable.
It is suitable for such a sight …. No, the sound that is surpassing is wonderful. For the slightly left side of the stage (Jeff side), the left and right stereo feelings are not even, but the performance sound picked up by the PA side is just the distance of zero. The modest picking nuance and the fluctuation of the vibrato are superbly clear, that is the best soundboard sound. Unfortunately, although Mr. Vanessa attention is angularly hard to see (it is not invisible), even if it is left behind, it is an ultimate super shot up to overwhelming.
The show is drawn with that quality is wonderful. The set that summarizes the career is close to “PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO”, but it increases further. I went to Take You Higher “which will be the first time in seven years, and” You Shook Me “for the first time in 4 years, also showed famous songs that could not be seen in Paris performances. Especially “I Want to Take You Higher” can see a duet with Jimmy with a guest from a local Spanish female singer, Loren Lorenzo, but her intense enthusiasm is amazing. In addition, I can experience “I Have To Laugh” and “Just For Fun” which I have not played so far with superb quality.
And again the cello of Miss Vanessa is big. As mentioned earlier, its beauty is hidden under the shadow of the monitor and it is hard to see, but the performance can be tasted plenty with direct sound. Slow “Mna Na Heireann” “Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers” directs delicate lyrics, and “Stratus” and “Big Block” color a heavy dark feeling. Last year’s BONES co-star is said to be an extra edition, a feeling of incompatibility impressions was attached, but co-starring with cello is quite different. The repertoire so far is gracefully born again and vividly and it depicts a wonderful music world that even Jeff’s orthodoxy evolution can think.

With the introduction of cello, Jeff Beck became even more beautiful and expression-rich. It is a masterpiece image which can experience the wonderful show from the front row. The latest Jeff progressing constantly. Please, please enjoy it fully in this work.

美しき女性チェリスト、ヴァネッサ・フリーバーン・スミスを迎えて新たなる次元に踏み出した2018年型ジェフ・ベック・グループ。その最新・極上映像がギフト・リリース決定です。
本作に刻まれているのは「2018年6月28日バルセロナ公演」。その最前列から激写された極上オーディエンス・ショットです。当店では2018年の第一報として映像ギフト『PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO』をご紹介しましたが、本作はそれに続く第2弾です。その気になるクオリティの前に、まずはショウのポジション。今まさに進行中のツアー日程の中で確認してみましょう。

・6月8日-7月9日:欧州(19公演)←★ココ★
・7月18日-8月26日:北米(27公演)

これが現在までに公表されているライヴ・スケジュール。つい先日ヨーロッパ・ツアーを終えたばかりで、10日ほどのオフを挟んで北米ツアー。現在は、その合間にあります。先日の『PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO』はツアー2公演目でしたが、本作のバルセロナ公演はグッと進んだ12公演目にあたるコンサートです。
さて、そんなショウを収めた本作ですが、そのクオリティはまさに絶品。先述した通り、最前列から撮影されただけに余計な前列の影もほとんど入らない(ステージ前を横切るスタッフ?の姿は一瞬入りますが)。ほぼほぼカメラピットと同じ距離感であり、それこそプロショットとなんら変わらないド直近からジェフの姿を見上げ続けられる。しかも、それだけの近さからズームすると更に密着。角度的には限られているものの、ロンダ・スミスやヴィニー・カリウタのソロ、熱く歌い上げるジミー・ホールの姿もプロショット級のドアップで楽しめる。『PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO』も傑作映像でしたが、本作のド直近ぶり・ド迫力は比較にならない。
そんな光景に相応しい……いえ、凌駕するほど素晴らしいのが音声。ステージやや左側(ジェフ側)のために左右のステレオ感は均等ではないものの、PAすぐ側で拾う演奏音は、まさにゼロ距離。ささやかなピッキング・ニュアンスもヴィヴラートの揺らぎも超克明で、それこそサウンドボードばりの極上サウンドなのです。残念ながら角度的に注目のヴァネッサ嬢が見づらい(見えないわけではありません)ものの、それを差し置いても圧倒的なまでの超極上ショットなのです。
そのクオリティで描かれるのはショウこそが素晴らしい。キャリアを総括するようなセットは『PARIS OLYMPIA 2018: THE VIDEO』に近いものの、更に増量。7年ぶりの復活となる「I Want to Take You Higher」や、4年ぶりの「You Shook Me」など、パリ公演では観られなかった名曲も披露。特に「I Want to Take You Higher」では地元スペイン出身の女性シンガー、ルート・ロレンソをゲストに迎えてジミーとのデュエットも観られるのですが、彼女の激しい熱唱ぶりが凄い。さらには、これまで演奏してこなかった「I Have To Laugh」「Just For Fun」も極上クオリティで体験できます。
そして、やはり大きいのはヴァネッサ嬢のチェロ。先述した通り、その美貌はモニターの影に隠れて見にくいものの、演奏はダイレクト・サウンドでたっぷりと味わえる。スローな「Mna Na Heireann」「Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers」は繊細な叙情を演出し、「Stratus」や「Big Block」ではヘヴィな暗黒感を彩る。昨年までのBONES共演は番外編と言いますか、違和感スレスレの感覚が付きまといましたが、チェロとの共演はまるで違う。これまでのレパートリーも優雅に、鮮やかに生まれ変わらせており、ジェフの正統進化とさえ思える素晴らしい音楽世界を描き出してくれるのです。

チェロの導入により、更に美しく、表現力豊かになった最新ジェフ・ベック。その素晴らしいショウを最前列から体験できる大傑作映像です。絶え間なくプログレスしていく最新のジェフ。どうぞ、本作で存分にお楽しみください。
