The ultimate QUEEN tribute and the greatest QUEEN marathon ever made will be a gift release decision.
Even if you say “Tribute Concert” in a bite, there are many different personalities. Famous collections of celebrities, follower band reenactments, shows like a copy-and-match contest by copy-bang, and more. This work is different from any of them. The point is “songs”. It is a live performance where a professional musician with a long history of fighting sings QUEEN’s masterpiece.
First, the band you are playing is real. I am puzzled by the unfamiliar artist name “THE JSS”, but the main character of this work is Jeff Scott Sort. A passionate vocalist known for Yngwie Malmsteen, JOURNEY, TALISMAN and other activities. He has not only participated in “DRAGON ATTACK” and “THE CROWN JEWELS”, but has often performed with Brian May and Roger Taylor. He is also a singer who embodies the love of QUEEN from time to time, including participating in the tour of Spike Edney’s SAS and the official tribute band QUEEN EXTRAVAGANZA. And there is no hamper at the site. At the QUEEN fan club convention held at “Pretattin on May 18, 2003”, it was a stage in front of real QUEEN fans to the bones.
[It is a scene that seems to be ridiculed by half-hearted things, but it is a passion that is opposite to showing the material to silence such a real fan and to make it hot. The most amazing thing is the volume of songs played. From the next to the next, 29 repertoires were rolled out quickly, and it was still not enough to play, 16 songs were concentrated in two medleys. A total of 45 QUEEN numbers will continue to be played for about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Let’s arrange and experience the amazing “QUEEN Marathon” set.

● QUEEN II (1 song): Procession
-Medley: Ogre Battle / Nevermore
● SHEER HEART ATTACK (2 songs): Stone Cold Crazy / Killer Queen

● A DAY AT THE RACES (2 songs): Tie Your Mother Down / Somebody To Love
・ Medley: You Take My Breath Away / Good Old Fashioned Loverboy / The Millionaire Waltz
NEWS OF THE WORLD (4 songs): Spread Your Wings / It’s Late / We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions
● JAZZ (3 songs): Let Me Entertain You / Fat Bottomed Girls / Don’t Stop Me Now

… and it looks like this. Although it was arranged, it is huge. It seems strange that “Now I’m Here”, “Liar”, and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” are missing while performing up to this point. Not only the famous famous songs but also the rare songs that the head family QUEEN + has never played can be mentioned. As a reminder, Jeff is not a copy-and-burn musician who never eats with a QUEEN cover, but a real singer who usually plays with original songs. Because he shows off the power that he can’t do for a person without QUEEN love, it’s just powerful.
Moreover, the performance is also hot. The members are iron walls only for those who have participated in Jeff’s solo work, especially guitary Howie Simon, who has become a hot topic in ALCATRAZZ. Such a person sings and performs with enthusiasm. QUEEN doesn’t do anything about costumes, actions and performances, and there is no such thing as “how far is it similar” or “that is different”. On the other hand, it is a rocky stage that pushes the “goodness of music” straight without thorough arrangements that sell and sell everyday individuality. Genuine QUEEN fans are delighted at such a show. The sympathy and enthusiasm spreads through a series of singing songs that just say “It’s a good song!”

The order has been completely reversed due to its greatness, but the quality of this work that recorded such a show is excellent. It seems that it is often not counted as Jeff’s official work, but it was distributed as a half official. A stereo sound board with a multi-camera pro-shot that has a slightly handmade feel, and an official sound. In fact, I think that it is a handmade feeling to produce a homely warmth.
In the hard rock world, Jeff Scott Sort is one of the best in singing and passion. It is a video work that allows him to experience the full tribute concert that makes him feel the length of his thoughts on QUEEN. Unlike the copy-bang group, which gets cold if you make a mistake, it is completely different from the coverage of celebrities who are only friends of members. Fan show that fans recognize. Please fully enjoy this opportunity.

★ It is a great performance. Please have a look. I’m sure the unseen fans will be surprised.

「究極のQUEENトリビュート」「史上最大のQUEENマラソン」とも言われる超豪華プロショットがギフト・リリース決定です。
ひと口に「トリビュート・コンサート」と言っても、個性は多種多様。有名人をかき集めたフェスやフォロワー・バンドによる名盤再現、コピバンによるそっくりさんコンテストのようなショウ等々。本作はそのどれとも違う。ポイントになるのは「曲」。れっきとした歴戦のプロ・ミュージシャンがQUEENの名曲を讃えるように熱演していくライヴなのです。
まず、演奏しているバンドが本物。見慣れないアーティスト名「THE JSS」に戸惑いますが、本作の主役はジェフ・スコット・ソート。イングヴェイ・マルムスティーンやJOURNEY、TALISMAN等の活動で知られる情熱派ヴォーカリストです。彼は『DRAGON ATTACK』『THE CROWN JEWELS』にも参加しているだけでなくブライアン・メイやロジャー・テイラーとも度々共演。スパイク・エドニーのSASや公式トリビュート・バンドQUEEN EXTRAVAGANZAのツアーにも参加するなど、常日頃からQUEEN愛を体現しているシンガーでもあります。そして、現場もハンパない。「2003年５月18日プレタティン」で開かれたQUEENのファンクラブ・コンヴェンションで、骨の髄まで本物のQUEENファンを前にしたステージだったのです。
中途半端なモノマネでは冷笑を浴びそうな現場なわけですが、そんな本物のファンを黙らせ、熱くさせるのはネタ披露とは対極の情熱。何よりも凄いのは、演奏される曲数ボリューム。次から次へと29曲ものレパートリーを矢継ぎ早に繰り出し、それでもまだ演奏し足りないのか、16曲分を２つのメドレーの濃縮。合計45曲ものQUEENナンバーを約２時間15分に渡って演奏し続けるのです。まさに「QUEENマラソン」な凄味、セットを整理して実感していただきましょう。

●QUEEN II（１曲）：Procession
・メドレー：Ogre Battle／Nevermore
●SHEER HEART ATTACK（２曲）：Stone Cold Crazy／Killer Queen

……と、このようになっています。整理したのに膨大。ここまで演っておきながら「Now I’m Here」や「Liar」「Crazy Little Thing Called Love」が抜けているのは不思議な気もしますが、とにかく凄い。定番の有名曲はもちろん、本家QUEEN＋も演奏したことのないレア曲も挙げきれないほどにてんこ盛り。念のために付け加えますが、ジェフは決してQUEENカバーで食いつないでいるコピバン・ミュージシャンではなく、普段はオリジナル曲で勝負している本物のシンガー。そんな彼がQUEEN愛のない人間にできるはずがない力業を見せつけるのですから、それだけもド迫力です。
しかも、演奏も熱い。メンバーは普段からジェフのソロ作に参加している面々だけに鉄壁で、特にギターのハウィー・サイモンはALCATRAZZで「歴代No.1のテクニック！」と話題になった人物。そんな彼らが自然体で熱唱＆熱演を繰り広げる。衣装もアクションも演奏もQUEENのマネは一切せず、「どこまで似てるか」「そこは違うだろ」と気になるようなことがない。かと言って、普段の個性を押し売りするような妙ちくりんなアレンジもしないでストレートに「曲の良さ」を徹底的に押していくロック然としたステージ。そんなショウには生粋のQUEENファンたちも大喜び。妙な色気を見せず、ひたすら「良い曲だよな！」と言わんばかりの熱唱の連続に共感と熱狂の輪が広がっていくのです。

あまりの素晴らしさにすっかり順序が逆になってしまいましたが、そんなショウを記録した本作はクオリティも素晴らしい。ジェフの正式作品としてカウントされない事も多いようですが、ハーフ・オフィシャルとして流通したもの。編集にはやや手作り感もありつつ、キチンとしたマルチカメラ・プロショットであり、サウンドも公式作品然としたステレオ・サウンドボード。むっしろ、アットホームな暖かみを演出するための手作り感かと思うほどです。
ハードロック界でも歌の巧さと情熱にかけては天下一品のジェフ・スコット・ソート。その彼がQUEENに対する想いの丈をブチかますトリビュート・コンサートをフル体験できる映像作品です。一歩間違えば寒くなってしまうコピバン群とは違い、メンバーの友達なだけの有名人がカバーするのともまったく異なる。ファンが認めるファンのショウ。どうぞ、この機会にたっぷりとご堪能ください。

★凄い演奏です。是非、ご覧下さい。未見のファンは驚かれると思います。
