In 1982, QUEEN 5th Japan tour accompanying the album “HOT SPACE” October 24, the performance of Kobe Nishinomiya baseball stadium, high-quality sound audience recording complete percussion not being circulated among traders at disc 1 & 2, famous analog It appears in a 4-disc press CD with a remaster take of the boot LP “Get Down” on Discs 3 & 4. First of all, although it is a completely first-to-appear audience · take, there are places where the sound image becomes unstable at the beginning, but other than that is recorded with a really wonderful sound, you can enjoy the whole picture of the concert comfortably. The audience’s voice is conspicuous compared to “Get Down”, but the enthusiasm of the venue is directly transmitted. Yaji of the Kansai dialect asked everywhere in particular is a real and fresh document. The master is in 120 minutes tape and the tape change cut is in Body Language (about 30 seconds), and that part is corrected with “Get Down” take. God Save The Queen The tape is running for more than 1 minute after the end, you can listen to the announcement after the show in the noise of the audience.
In the case of
It is a “Get Down” take on Discs 3 & 4, but it removes needle patch noises as much as possible, and additionally the pitch which was too late is also completely adjusted, so it is much easier to listen compared to the version that has been around until now. (We had not yet received We Will Rock You is connected by take of Disk 2.) Originally, as audience recording, it was the highest sound quality level without any complaints, only speaking in terms of sound quality, , It can be said to be the best audience recording take of the 82 year tour. As for the performance, compared with the Seibu baseball stadium which was made into the official video, there is ambition in the performance, the members are in good condition, you can listen very comfortably. In addition, it is high point that Spread Your Wings of unusual song turning is being played before the medley of Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) / Bohemian Rhapsody played also in Fukuoka performance. Even now I heard the stray “Hot Space” number which was played only on this tour is definitely different on the Queen stage, but energetic performance plays a colorful synth sound intense Action This Day, an exhilarating melody There are fun Calling All Girls, Body Language which shocked the fans at the time, powerful Put Out The Fire, etc. It is quite possible to listen to exciting performance. It is a long-awaited introduction of fans with limited press CD 4 sets.

★ It is a review summary with the Queen · Live sound source feature of beatleg magazine vol.135. For your information.

Nishinomiya stadium performance on October 24, 1982 which became the first outdoor concert in Japan for the Queen. Spread Your Wings, an unusual and unusual spirit, has emerged as a period of time, but Freddie has shifted to “Saturday Night’s Alrifgt For Fighting” while screaming “I forgot the code!” interesting. This boot leg is 4 CD which collectively recorded two kinds of audience sound sources respectively. The sound quality of the former is characterized by the fact that the sound of the drum is rounded and it is full of presence. It seems that a tape change has occurred in “Body Language”, and the lack thereof is carefully supplemented by the latter. The latter is based on the boot leg LP “Get Down (140rc)”, but “We Will Rock You” not recorded in that record is not only supplemented by the former but also a pitch correction throughout ing. The sound image is close and has a vivid sound quality.

★ Early Wardor press release CD released in 2005. Although the state of the discontinued · sold out continued for a while for a while, a limited restocking order was decided with the strongest bonus · title.

★ Queen In 1982, from the 5th Japan Tour on October 24, Kobe Nishinomiya baseball staging performance and two existing high quality tone audience recording takes in both the best versions recorded high evaluation from mania , Press CD 4 set. Each missing part is compensated from both sound sources, and both are finished in the best version. “Get Down” which was famous as a high-quality sound board was also perfectly corrected for the pitch which was late. In addition, we were able to enjoy the best version as its name, as We Will Rock You which was the biggest decision was compensated by another sound source.

1982年、アルバム「HOT SPACE」に伴うQUEEN5度目のジャパンツアーより10月24日、神戸西宮球場公演が、トレーダー間でも一切出回っていない高音質オーディエンス録音・完全収録盤をディスク1&2に、有名なアナログブートLP「Get Down」のリマスターテイクをディスク3&4に配した4枚組プレスCDにて登場です。まず、完全初登場のオーディエンス・テイクですが、冒頭、音像が不安定になる箇所もありますが、それ以外は実に素晴らしいサウンドで収録されており、気持ちよくコンサートの全貌を楽しむことができます。「Get Down」に比べると観客の声が目立ちますが、会場の熱気がダイレクトに伝わってくる感じです。特に随所に聞かれる関西弁のヤジがリアルで、生々しいドキュメントになっています。マスターは120分テープでテープチェンジのカットはBody Languageにあり(約30秒)、その部分は「Get Down」テイクで補正しています。God Save The Queen終了後1分以上テープが回っており、観客のざわめきの中、終演後のアナウンスも懐かしく聞くことができます。

ディスク3&4の「Get Down」テイクですが、針パチノイズをできる限り除去し、加えて遅かったピッチも完全に調整してありますので、今まで出回っていたヴァージョンに比べ、大変聴きやすくなっています。(未収だったWe Will Rock Youはディスク2のテイクで繋いであります。)元々、オーディエンス録音としては、文句なしの最高音質レベルだっただけに、音質に限って言えば、世界的に見ても、82年ツアーの最優秀オーディエンス録音テイクと言えるでしょう。演奏としては、オフィシャルビデオ化された西武球場ライブに比べると、演奏に覇気があり、メンバーの調子も良く、大変気持ちよく聴く事ができます。また、福岡公演でも演奏されたSaturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) / Bohemian Rhapsody のメドレーの前に、一風変わった歌い回しのSpread Your Wingsが演奏されているのが、ポイント高いと言えるでしょう。このツアーでしか演奏されなかった迷盤「Hot Space」ナンバーは、今聞いても確かにクィーンのステージには異色ですが、エネルギッシュな演奏にカラフルなシンセサウンドが強烈なAction This Day、爽快感溢れるメロディが楽しいCalling All Girls、当時のファンに相当なショックを与えたBody Language、力強いPut Out The Fireなど、なかなか刺激的なパフォーマンスを聴くことができます。限定プレスCD4枚組で、ファン待望のりりーすです。

★beatleg誌 vol.135のクィーン・ライヴ音源特集でのレビュー要約です。ご参考まで。

クイーンにとって日本で最初の野外コンサートとなった1982年10月24日の西宮球場公演。この時期としては異例の一風変わった「Spread Your Wings」が余興的に飛び出しているが、フレディが「コードを忘れた!」と叫びながら「Saturday Night’s Alrifgt For Fighting」へ移行しているのが面白い。このブートレッグは2種類のオーディエンス音源がそれぞれ丸々収録された4CDだ。前者の音質はドラムの音が丸みを帯びているのが特徴で臨場感にも溢れている。「Body Language」でテープ・チェンジが発生したようで、その欠落部分は後者で丁寧に補われている。後者はブートレッグLP『Get Down (140rc)』が元になっているが、そのレコードに未収録の「We Will Rock You」は前者で補われているだけでなく、全体を通してピッチ修正も施されている。音像は近く、生々しい音質である。

★2005年にリリースされたWardour初期の名盤プレスCD。暫く廃盤・完売の状態が続いていましたが、最強のボーナス・タイトル付で限定再入荷が決定しました。

★クィーン1982年、5度目の日本ツアーより10月24日、神戸西宮球場公演を、現存する2種の高音質オーディエンス録音テイクを、どちらも最良のヴァージョンで収録した、マニアからも高い評価を受ける、プレスCD4枚組。お互いの欠落個所を両音源より、それぞれ補填し、どちらも最高のヴァージョンに仕上げてあります。高音質アナログ盤として有名だった「Get Down」も遅かったピッチを完璧に補正。加えて最大の決定だったWe Will Rock You未収が別音源で補われたことで、その名の通りのベスト・ヴァージョンを楽しむことができます。
