Jeff Beck With Johnny Depp / Oslo 2022: Original Master / 2CDR / Uxbridge
Sentrum Scene, Oslo, Norway 2nd July 2022
Jeff Beck is attracting a lot of attention for his miraculous collaboration with Johnny Depp. An original recording that conveys the scene is now available.
“Oslo performance on July 2, 2022” is imbued in this work. It is a superb audience recording that vacuum-packed the whole story. Our shop has reported on the latest tour with Depp on two live albums “GLASGOW 2022 (Uxbridge 1672)” and “UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022 (Uxbridge 1742)”. What is the position of this work in such a situation? Let’s check the tour schedule immediately.
・ May 27-June 7: UK (9 performances) ← * GLASGOW 2022
・June 19-July 15: Europe #1 (12 performances) ← Coco
《“18” released on July 15》
・ July 17-July 25: Europe # 2 (7 performances) ← * UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022
・ September 23-October 23: North America # 1 (21 performances)
・ November 1-22: North America # 2 (9 performances)
This is the 2022 schedule that has been announced so far. The latest tour is still in progress, but the Oslo performance of this work was held a while ago. It was a concert that was the fifth performance of “Europe # 1” about two and a half months ago. Recordings of this show are already available on the net, but in fact this work is completely different. It is an original recording only for this work brought by its own route.
And the sound is top-notch. To be honest, the net sound source was round and round (that’s why I didn’t introduce it), but this work is super clear and tight and long. The feeling of air is crystal clear and transparent, and the performance sound that penetrates the middle is crisp and sharp to the contour. Moreover, although it is as vivid as a laser beam, it does not have the sharpness that hurts the ears. The sound is natural to the last, and the resolution of the sound feels vivid only by the height. Compared to the popular “UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022”, it gives up a step in rich thickness, but this work is superior to this work in terms of shining clearness.
A full show different from “GLASGOW 2022” and “UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022” is drawn with such a crystal sound. The newest thing in your memory is “UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022”, so let’s organize the set while comparing.
First half (instrumental stage)
・ “18”: Midnight Walker / Caroline No
・Album songs: The Pump (★) / Star Cycle / You Never Know / Big Block / Brush With the Blues / Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers
・Other covers: You Know You Know/Stratus
The second half (with Johnny Depp)
・『18』: This Is A Song For Miss Heady Lamarr/Isolation/Time/What’s Goin’ On (★)/Death And Resurrection Show
・Other covers: Rumble/Little Wing/Corpus Christi Carol (★)/A Day In The Life
* Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard at “UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022”.
… and it looks like this. If you’ve read this article, you probably already know, but the current tour is roughly divided into two parts. The first part is an instrumental stage in the same style as usual Jeff. And Johnny Depp appeared in “Rumble” in the middle. From there, a super-luxury co-starring stage will be held while mixing instruments and songs. And there were 3 songs that I couldn’t listen to at “UMBRIA JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022”. Although “What’s Goin’ On” and “Corpus Christi Carol” in the second part could be heard in “GLASGOW 2022”, the opening “The Pump” is a repertoire that was not played there.
“Even so, the Johnny Depp effect is still amazing.” I knew from the new work “18” that the deep vocals and Jeff’s guitar had an exquisite compatibility, but the excitement due to overwhelming popularity can be felt vividly because it is an audience recording. The song “Rumble” that appears is an instrumental, but I can see the figure walking slowly to the loud cheers that swell in Kyaakyaa. After that, even if I sing it, it’s kyaa-kyaa, and even if I decide to play twin guitars, it’s kyaa-kyaa. However, although the age group of the audience is high, there is no annoying noise like an idol concert, but there is a huge excitement that is impossible in Jeff’s usual tour. Even Jeff is a rock musician, and if the venue gets excited, the tension of the performance will get excited. It may be that the two of them have a good compatibility on stage with an unexpected point.
Jeff Beck’s latest tour, which is attracting attention not only for its rarity but also for its gorgeous co-starring. It is a superb original recording only for this work that allows you to experience the scene at its finest. A two-disc set that overflows with a special feeling that is different from any other tour. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.
★ The best audience recording of the first act of the co-starring tour with Johnny Depp, “Oslo performance on July 2, 2022”. It is an original recording that is completely different from the net sound source, and if the length is long, the sound will be superior. The feeling of air is crystal clear and transparent, and the performance sound that penetrates the middle is crisp and vivid to the outline. Depp’s popularity is booming, and you can experience the full show where Jeff’s performance is sharper with the heat.
