Played with Stanley Clarke is called the topic than the 1978 Japan tour, complete recording of the November 23, Kurashiki performances third day tour with a high-quality audience recording. That has been digitized directly from the recording’s master, is the new sound of the topic on the net. But is a sound image that was somewhat a small, high-frequency has also come out clean, Tsubudachi of sound is very good, the separation feeling wonderfully, Jeff of guitar, of course, be divided firmly listening to the base notes one by one of Stanley you are able to. There is some distance to the sound, loud feeling and the direct sense, but is not so, there is no cracking or deterioration in sound, there is also a sense of stability, to understand as delicate play and representation of each member takes on hand, enough you can enjoy the whole picture of the show in the quality. Especially quiet of fusion touch part is really impressive. Hiss also little, is a masterpiece recording title without a mistake that would listened to devour in one sound one note of delicate play shoot the band. This day has been limited recording sound source, only “Kurashiki Jam ’78” is, but was the only source of this performance, bass crack even without very easy to listen to, such as this already issued. Although the already issued there was a tape change cut in the middle of the Lopsy Lu, this edition includes the entire concert, including this song has been recorded in non-cut. But it is probably, Japan tour Mito (11/20) 1978, Kanazawa (11/22), and the day of the Kurashiki (11/23) and the local 3 performances are booking a tour beginning, even these rehearsal It would not have been a live of doubles. Solidifying the sound in this live, and later Osaka (two shows), Nagoya, Kokura, it is assumed to be or not than faces the Tokyo Budokan 3 Days and urban performances. Hot Rock listened far from the one that ends up falling next of Osaka the first day after the set. Only Kurashiki performances are you playing the Diamond Dust after the Scatterbrain / Drums Solo throughout the entire schedule. 1978 Japan tour of the new sound source that newly appeared in in 2016. Wonderfully attentive and two sets of recommended the exciting play is jammed with plenty. Sound quality is also good enough. Recommended! !

スタンリー・クラークとの共演が話題を呼んだ1978年日本ツアーより、ツアー3日目の11月23日倉敷公演を高音質オーディエンス録音で完全収録。録音者のマスターよりダイレクトにデジタル化されたという、ネットで話題の新音源です。ややこじんまりとした音像ですが、高域も綺麗に出ており、音の粒立ちは大変良好、分離感も素晴らしく、ジェフのギターは勿論、スタンリーのベースノート一つ一つをしっかりと聴き分けることが出来ます。音に若干距離があり、ラウド感やダイレクト感はそれほどではないですが、音に割れや劣化は無く、安定感もあり、各メンバーの繊細なプレイや表現が手に取るように分かり、十分なクオリティでショウの全貌を楽しむことが出来ます。特に静かなフュージョンタッチのパートは実に見事。ヒスノイズも殆どなく、バンドの放つ細やかなプレイの一音一音に食い入るように聴き入ってしまうこと間違いなしの傑作録音タイトルです。この日は記録音源が限られており、「倉敷ジャム’78」だけがこの公演の唯一の音源でしたが、この既発のような低音の割れも無く非常に聴きやすい。既発ではLopsy Luの途中でテープチェンジカットがありましたが、本盤はこの曲も含めてコンサートの全体がノンカットで収録されています。おそらくですが、1978年日本ツアーは水戸（11/20)、金沢(11/22)、そしてこの日の倉敷(11/23)とツアー冒頭に地方3公演がブッキングされており、これらはリハーサルも兼ねてのライヴだったのではないでしょうか。このライヴで音を固め、以降は大阪（2公演）、名古屋、小倉、東京武道館3デイズと都市公演に臨んだのではないかと推測されます。次の大阪初日以降セット落ちしてしまうHot Rockは聴きどころのひとつ。全日程を通してScatterbrain / Drums Soloの後にDiamond Dustを演奏しているのは倉敷公演だけです。2016年になって新たに登場した1978年日本ツアーの新音源。素晴らしく細やかかつエキサイティングなプレイがたっぷりと詰まったお薦めの2枚組。音質も十分に良いです。お薦め！！
