Play sample :
Many of the audience masters left behind by Mike Millard have been revealed by the efforts of the JEMS team in recent years, and the dream situation continues for maniacs all over the world. Thanks to this, we have been able to make CDs from numerous masters of exceptional audiences who captured the stage of the peak of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd with the highest quality, but in addition to the stage of such a big group, Millard It was a great achievement to find out that they were recording various artists.
Among these excavations, Linda Ronstadt’s series of 1977 LA performances became a big bestseller. Speaking of 77, it was the year of the eternal masterpiece “Eddie”, and it was also the climax of Millard’s recording history. In addition, it is no exaggeration to say that the conditions for producing excellent recordings were met because her live venue was also in LA, or it was promised.
Like ZEP, Millard recorded several performances with Linda, but among them, “LOS ANGELES 1977 MIKE MILLARD 1ST GEN” became a big bestseller because of its excellent sound quality. It combines an on-sound image that can only be achieved with his recordings, and an exquisite sense of realism that “appears where it comes out and retreats where it retreats.” If it is such a quality, it is a level that even general music fans can listen to smoothly.
In that case, it was natural that it would be sold out, but it would be a waste of money if it became difficult to obtain a press board with such a special sound source. Rather, it should be an evergreen audience album that can be obtained at any time. It was a masterpiece that had many requests for re-release from enthusiasts who could not get it otherwise.
Needless to say, the basics are the finest sound sources, so straight reissues are easy. However, this time we asked “GRAF ZEPPELIN” to supervise because it was such an exceptional mirrored recording. He carried out an overhaul suitable for re-release.
However, there was only one thing that made “GRAF ZEPPELIN” called “perfect recording”, and it was only a total fine-tuning. Still, there is no doubt that he added the final touch to the masterpiece audience, and even just a wonderful recording for everyone from beginners to enthusiasts has finally evolved into a state where you can listen to it with peace of mind.
After all, I can only say that I was really lucky that Millard captured Linda’s stage at its peak with perfect sound quality. Not only is the sound image turned on, but Linda’s unique singing voice, and all of the backing by the masters balance the sound board as well. It’s at the peak, and it’s hard to believe that this is the last day of the Universal Amphitheater 12 nights of continuous performances, and it’s exceptional that you can enjoy Linda’s singing voice, which is fully open with the engine, with the clearest sound quality.
After that, Millard’s achievement of capturing the theater performance just before his popularity rose further and evolved into an arena singer with the finest sound quality is too great. And since Elvis Presley died two months later, she covered “Love Me Tender” in 1977. The long-awaited re-appearance of Millard’s masterpiece audience album, which is no longer perfect in sound quality and content, under the supervision of “GRAF ZEPPELIN”. This is Linda’s version of “Eddie”!

LINDA RONSTADT – ATLANTA 1977: JAPANESE BROADCAST (Bonus DVDR)
Live at the Fox Theater, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 1st December 1977 PRO-SHOT
Broadcast Date: 3rd February 1977
The main press CD is a new masterpiece vacuum-packed from Mike Millard’s heyday of the “SIMPLE DREAMS Tour”. It is a live album that will be a cultural heritage. However, the more wonderful the live album is, the more humane it is to want a “spectacle”. Therefore, we have prepared a super-super pro shot where you can witness Linda’s youthful appearance.
This work was filmed at the “December 1, 1977 Atlanta Performance”. It is the multi-camera pro shot. This video was a big classic among the classics, but this work is the highest version. It is a rebroadcast version released in recent years. Before the quality of the shock, from the introduction of the video itself. First, let’s look back at the schedule at that time and check the positional relationship with the main press CD.
《May 23rd – July 22nd Production of “SIMPLE DREAMS”》
・ August 7-September 2: US #1a (12 performances)
《“SIMPLE DREAMS” released on September 6th》
・September 6-October 1: USA #1b (15 performances) ← * Main press CD
・October 26-November 18: US #2 (19 performances)
・December 1st: Atlanta performance ← This work
This is Linda Ronstadt in 1977. While “SIMPLE DREAMS” became the No. 1 hit in the United States, they energetically toured North America. The main part of the tour will be finished once in mid-November, but the Atlanta performance of this work was a special concert planned only once after that.
I think that most people have seen the professional shots taken at such a show at least once because they are standard, but the quality of this work is not familiar. As a matter of fact, this work is based on Nippon Broadcasting. It was featured in the famous program “Western music live legend” of a certain satellite broadcasting station. If it’s usual, Chris Pep*’s commentary corner and the program’s own Japanese subtitles (I transcribed it for the song part, so please take a look. The secret story with Lowell George told in front of “Willin'” is Must-see!), etc., but this work is more than that. Above all, the upgraded visual beauty is wonderful!
There was also a conventional version that used a commercial master, but there were still limits to the analog master. On the other hand, this work is a digital rebroadcast in recent years. The skin that had been crushed and flattened is fresh and fresh, and even the hair that shines under the lighting is clear. What is even more wonderful is the sense of stability that does not move slightly. The conventional board (although very rare) also contained tracking noise and white line noise. However, this work does not have it at all. Of course, there is no slight shaking of the phone, and you can be intoxicated with the beauty of young Linda and her famous songs while remaining super beautiful.
In 1977, Linda’s popularity as an idol reached its climax, and her whole body was feeling the wind of her heyday. It is a definitive video work that allows you to witness the full show. It expands the image of the main press CD, but more than that, this work itself is a historical video masterpiece. Visual beauty of the digital rebroadcast of the highest peak renewal in history that exceeds even the conventional board which was a commercial master. Please enjoy it to the fullest.
