If you say the original cassette reprint series of Kinney, also reprinted in conjunction original LP, it is for the bonus has become customary middle, this time the new excavation of unpublished that are not even in LP. If the world is there are things that do not have enough to live and sound too impressive for the first time hear Live in Japan of the new name board “OSAKA 1984”, it is not only “fun to see in the eyes”. So, this time we do a large classic official video “This not only” To inflate the imagination of live bonus.
This work is no longer the familiar 1984 Japan tour last day, “March 14, Nippon Budokan” performances. Is the official professional shot that has been loved for a long time. As a large Ketteiban, but press 2DVD was reprinted from Japanese record laser disk “JAPAN TOUR ’84” will have bestowed great popularity, this work has been enjoying the vertex until just before the large Ketteiban appeared Li master version. And scrutinize every stroke, to the press Edition finished with large capacity of 2-Disc, you be the intended yield one step indeed quality, this time “I am feeling the sight of as much as possible easy to live” it is because it is a focus , we offer a single Mononohon work.
In fact, the snow that appeared at the beginning Budokan, at the time of the mood is blown up furiously in from the fan of the video toward while an umbrella there. And is led to the “Over The Rainbow”, write eye was bloodshot appear along with the riff of “Spotlight Kid”. There, sharper Chuck drumming is comfortably sail fast of Vaghi, Richie just …… goes the goal with a beautiful solo in a smooth fingering, sight precisely because 1984 is spread with plenty in the professional shot video.
Under such circumstances, in Osaka and certainly different from the “Difficult To Cure”. 1984 Although Japan is the introduction of the orchestra had also a major feature of the performance, there was a co-star of the three-day only Budokan of two or three days. Osaka performance of the main press 2CD was the usual band style. This work is of the orchestra because it is Budokan on the final day, even “Difficult To Cure” has been extensively Fichua. Richie in the spotlight floating in the darkness spun silently phrase, orchestra that was illuminated in rainbow colors so as to be invited to the guitar appears …. On the contrary, although it orchestra to songs other than is not without relationship, co-star is not maybe there is impact on the entire show. As I mentioned in the description of the main press 2CD, performance of this work or from the tension of the orchestra played and the video recording, is set to play profusely tightly. Of course, that amount of fighting spirit also does not have to do with small and because it is felt, it is not a performance, such as violent in play. Rather, it is the ability to concentrate is felt that the 38-year-old Richie tries to Kokumo the classic co-star of my own in rock history.

1977 Munich performances, along with the 1980 Monsters of Rock has become even famous and icon “final performance of 1984”. This one is not only legendary, new name board to listen in after seeing this work, “OSAKA 1984” is more a more vivid, and heard with a shine of seven colors to one single phrase. By all means, please enjoy plenty together!

キニーのオリジナルカセット復刻シリーズというと、オリジナルLPも併せて復刻し、ボーナスとするのが半ば慣例となっておりますが、今回はLPにもなっていない未発表の新発掘。世界が初めて耳にするライヴ・イン・ジャパンの新名盤「OSAKA 1984」の見事すぎるライヴとサウンドに足りないものがあるとすれば、それは“目で見る楽しさ”しかありません。そこで、今回はライヴのイマジネーションを膨らませるには“コレしかない”大定番オフィシャル映像をボーナスにいたします。
本作は、もはやお馴染みの1984年ジャパンツアー最終日「3月14日・日本武道館」公演。長きにわたって愛されてきた公式プロショットです。その大決定盤として、日本盤レーザーディスクから復刻したプレス2DVD「JAPAN TOUR ’84」が大好評を賜っておりますが、本作はその大決定盤が登場する直前まで頂点を謳歌していたリマスター・バージョン。あらゆる行程を精査し、2枚組の大容量で仕上げたプレス版に対し、さすがにクオリティでは一歩譲るものではありますが、今回は“できるだけ手軽にライヴの光景を感じていただく”ことが主眼ですので、1枚物の本作をご用意いたしました。
実際、冒頭に登場する雪の武道館、そこへ傘を差しながら向かうファンの映像からして当時のムードが猛烈に吹き上がる。そして「Over The Rainbow」に導かれ、「Spotlight Kid」のリフと共に現れる血走ったライト・アイ。そこに、よりシャープなチャック・バーギのドラミングが心地よく快走し、リッチーが滑らかな運指で見事なソロを決めていく……まさしく、1984年だからこその光景がプロショット映像でたっぷりと広がるのです。
そんな中で、大阪公演と確実に違うのは「Difficult To Cure」。1984年来日公演の大きな特徴でもあったオーケストラの導入ですが、3日間のうち共演があったのは2・3日目の武道館だけ。本編プレス2CDの大阪公演は、通常のバンドスタイルでした。本作は最終日の武道館ですから「Difficult To Cure」でもオーケストラが大々的にフィーチュアされているのです。暗闇に浮かぶスポットライトの中でリッチーが黙々とフレーズを紡ぎ、そのギターに誘われるようにして虹色に照らされたオーケストラが現れる……。逆に、それ以外の曲にオーケストラは関係ないわけですが、共演はショウ全体にも影響があったのかも知れません。本編プレス2CDの解説でも触れましたが、本作の演奏はオーケストラ共演とビデオ収録の緊張感からか、演奏がやたらキッチリとしている。もちろん、その分の気合いも感じられるのでこじんまりとはしていませんが、弾けて暴れるような演奏ではない。むしろ、38歳のリッチーが自分なりのクラシック共演をロック史に刻もうとする集中力が感じられるのです。

1977年ミュンヘン公演、1980年モンスターズ・オブ・ロックと並んで有名かつアイコンとさえなっている“1984年の最終公演”。これ1本が伝説的なだけでなく、本作を見た後で聴く新名盤「OSAKA 1984」はより一層鮮やかで、フレーズの1つひとつまで七色の輝きをもって聞こえてくる。ぜひ、併せてたっぷりとお楽しみください!
