Lionel Richie / Tokyo 1983 / 2CDR

Live at Nakano Sunplaza, Tokyo, Japan 17th December 1983 Evening Show TRULY AMAZING/PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters)

Lionel Richie in 1983, who rose to the darling of the times with the astronomical hits of “LIONEL RICHIE” and “CAN’T SLOW DOWN”. The original recording that conveys the scene of the visit to Japan is the world’s first public release.
“December 17, 1983: Nakano Sun Plaza (night performance)” is imbued in this work. It is the first appearance audience recording that vacuum packed the whole story. First of all, let’s unravel from the memorable solo first visit to Japan schedule.

・December 9: Nagoya Civic Hall
・December 11: Fukuoka Sun Palace
・December 13: Osaka Festival Hall
・December 14: Kanagawa Prefectural Hall
・ December 16: Nippon Budokan
・ December 17: Nakano Sun Plaza (daytime performance)
・December 17: Nakano Sun Plaza (night performance) ← This work

A total of 7 performances. The climax Lionel, who swept the world with the diamond album, is dizzy just by saying Nakano Sunplaza, but it is also a forced march of two performances a day. It was a schedule that my brain couldn’t keep up with just saying that it was realized because it was 1983.
This work, which vacuum-packed such an amazing final performance, is as miraculous as the sound. It is an original recording of only this work given by the recording artist himself, but I can not believe that it was unpublished so far. Although it is not mistaken for a sound board in terms of timbre, the feeling of air is crystal clear and clear, even the subtleties of subtleties are super clear. Lionel’s singing voice is not just one word of the lyrics, but the nuances contained in it are also clear, and the breathing and the swinging width of the vibrato are so delicate that you can feel them on your skin. As a matter of fact, it may be difficult to hear the peak of the applause on the first solo visit to Japan because the limiter is applied (it may be a bit annoying if it is up-tempo), but the essential performance sound is really glossy. It is a famous recording that melts your heart with a beautiful sound that shines most in quiet ballads with clapping.
A full show of the historic first visit to Japan is depicted with that brilliant sound. Let’s organize that monumental set here.

Furthermore, it is also a colorful show that looks like an overturned toy box, with cover medleys that fold the Beatles, Stones, and Smokey Robinson.
