Play sample :
The 50th anniversary tour of the Steel God, where the historical Greatest Hits has become a hot topic. The latest live album is here.
It was the “Phoenix performance on March 16, 2022” that was imbued with this work. It is a powerful audience recording. Regarding the background of the resumption of the tour that was suspended due to Richie Faulkner’s sudden illness, I will leave it to the explanation of “OAKLAND 2022 (Shades 1485)” released the other day, and here I will detail the position of the third 2022 report. Let’s take a look.
・ March 4-10: North America # 2 (5 performances)
・ March 12 “OAKLAND 2022”
・ March 13: Las Vegas performance
・ March 15 “LOS ANGELES 2022: THE VIDEO”
・ March 16: Phoenix performance ← ★ This work ★
・ March 18-April 13: North America # 2 (15 performances)
× May 27-June 1: Russia / Ukraine (cancelled)
・ June 3-August 4: Europe # 1 (31 performances)
・ October 7: Sacramento performance
This is the 2022 schedule that has been announced so far. The cancellation of the Russian / Ukraine performance scheduled at the beginning of the European Tour is vivid, and the schedule after that is also worrisome. Aside from that, the ongoing North American tour is expected to be on schedule, and this week’s 8th performance video work “LOS ANGELES 2022: THE VIDEO (Shades 1490)” and 9th performance full live album (this work) ) Will be released at the same time.
That’s why this is the third 2022 report, but this is also a masterpiece audience recording. The “OAKLAND 2022” I introduced the other day was also great, but it was the result of a good remastering. On the other hand, this work has a clear and thick sound even when it is completely unprocessed. Of course, this work is also the highest peak update board that further refined the famous recording with the latest mastering. The balance was adjusted by band analysis to maximize the potential of the original sound.
The show drawn with such a sound is a full show with more famous songs. Here, let’s compare it with the “OAKLAND 2022” that we just introduced last week.
・ Rocka Rolla: Rocka Rolla
・ Wings of Destiny: Victim Of Changes
・ Sin After Sin: Diamonds & Rust
× Stained class: None
・ Killing Machine: Hell Bent For Leather
○ British Steel: Metal Gods / Breaking The Law / Living After Midnight
-Golden spectrum: Desert Plains
○ Screaming for Vengeance: You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’/The Hellion / Electric Eye
○ Defenders of the Immorality: Freewheel Burning / The Sentinel
・ Turbo: Turbo Lover
Ram It Down: Blood Red Skies
○ Painkiller: Battle Hymn / One Shot At Glory / Hell Patrol (★) / A Touch Of Evil / Painkiller
× Jugulator / Demolition: None
× Angel of Retribution / Nostradamus / Redeemer of Souls: None
・ Firepower: Lightning Strike
* Note: The “x” mark is an album in which no song was played, and the “○” mark is an album in which two or more songs are adopted. The “★” mark is a song that could not be heard in “OAKLAND 2022”.
…… And it looks like this. It’s roughly similar to “OAKLAND 2022”, but the once-fallen “Hell Patrol” is back. It was a rare song that was a highlight even last year, so this revival is big. Along with the opening “Battle Hymn / One Shot At Glory”, this is a show where the color of the famous board “PAINKILLER” has become even stronger. And I’m glad that Rob who spells the set is also doing well. Of course, since it is a vocalization that has reached Kouki, it seems that Jaro will be sued if you say “Career high singing!”, But it is the best in the latest report trilogy. It spells out a colorful set that is variously selected from each page of 50 years history with a sense of stability.
The number of famous songs has increased, the sound is wonderful, and Rob is doing well. As expected, the persuasive power of the video is not as good as the simultaneous release of “LOS ANGELES 2022: THE VIDEO”, but it is a new masterpiece that is good for a live album. You can simply immerse yourself in a musical difference full of masterpieces, and it’s also perfect for hitting your thoughts on the 50th anniversary tour, which hasn’t been announced yet. Please enjoy the latest live album that is perfect for “Now in 2022”.
★ A powerful audience recording of “March 16, 2022 Phoenix Performance”. It is the highest peak update board that further refined the latest recording of the topic with clear & thick sound by further meticulous mastering. The set that summarizes the career with rare songs such as “One Shot At Glory” “Rocka Rolla” “Blood Red Skies” is the best Then, the famous song “Hell Patrol” was added to increase the volume. This is the latest live album where you can fully experience the 50th anniversary tour.
