“THUNDERSTEEL” live again! A complete reproduction concert of the daimyo record that excited the archipelago four years ago and produced “LIVE IN JAPAN 2018”. The best professional shot that should be called the overseas version is now available.
The live performance of the Daimyo board was realized on “October 2, 2022 in Wurzburg”. It is a multi-camera pro shot when appearing at the metal festival “KEEP IT TRUE RISING II”. I think there are some people who came to the pin with this title, but it is the RIOT V version of the Pro Shot series that has been very popular with Paul Diano’s version “Shades 1618” released the other day. Like many bands/artists, they have just resumed their activities. First of all, let’s check their schedule.

This is the 2022/2023 RIOT V announced so far. In 2018, when we released “ARMOR OF LIGHT”, we had been performing vigorously for the first time since the 1980s, but just when we were about to make a leap forward, the new corona pandemic occurred. This year, we finally managed to resume live performances, but the number of performances is still small and we are fumbling. Although I don’t know the set of all the performances, at the festival where rival bands gather, I hit the “THUNDERSTEEL” perfect reproduction show as a detonator.
This work, which conveys such a show, is a professional delivery shot of the highest quality. The venue seems to be a slightly wider gymnasium and there are not so many cameras, but there are many close-up close-ups, and above all, the image quality and sound quality are completely official grade. That is the visual beauty that is not inferior to “LIVE IN JAPAN 2018”.
A full show that is truly a “moving THUNDERSTEEL + α” is drawn with such quality. It is not so long except for the reproduction part only for the festival appearance, but it is a different selection from “LIVE IN JAPAN 2018”. Let’s organize them by comparing them.
-Thunder Steel (complete reproduction)
・All songs: Thundersteel/Fight Or Fall/Sign Of The Crimson Storm/Flight Of The Warrior/On Wings Of Eagles/Johnny’s Back/Bloodstreets/Run For Your Life/Buried Alive (Tell Tale Heart)
● Others (4 songs)
・Victory (★)/Magic Maker (★*)/Swords And Tequila/Warrior
* Note: “★” marks are songs that were not seen at the official “LIVE IN JAPAN 2018”. “*” marks Harry Conklin (JAG PANZER) as a guest.
… and it looks like this. The show started with a sudden complete reproduction, and other than that, only 4 songs after reproduction. “Victory” from “ARMOR OF LIGHT” is also delicious, but the point is “Magic Maker”. Not only can you not hear it at “LIVE IN JAPAN 2018”, but JAG PANZER’s Harry Conklin will participate as a guest. Conklin is a singer who was singing at RIOT in 1986 on the eve of “THUNDERSTEEL” (he was called Michael Strike at the time), and he will listen to a metallic duet in this work as well. Speaking of help, the guitar. Nick Lee, the original guitarist, was rushed to the hospital during rehearsals prior to the tour. He seems to have been discharged from the hospital the other day, but he is still in rehabilitation and has not participated in the tour, and in this work, Lance Verneuold, who has been supporting him from time to time, is acting as a substitute.
Paul Di’Anno, DIAMOND HEAD, TYGERS OF PAN TANG, SATAN, HOLOCAUST, VENOM INC., GRIM REAPER, etc…all the famous bands of yesteryear gathered together in “KEEP IT TRUE RISING II”. Among them, it is a masterpiece that you can enjoy RIOT V, which was shining conspicuously on the Daimyo board reproduction stage, with the finest multi-camera pro shots. One piece that will be exactly “THUNDERSTEEL to see with your eyes”. Please enjoy it to the fullest.
★ Multi-camera pro shot of “October 2, 2022 KEEP IT TRUE RISING II performance” where the Daimyo board “THUNDERSTEEL” was completely reproduced. Although the number of cameras is not so large, there are many close-up close-ups, and above all, the image quality and sound quality are completely official grade products. In addition to the complete reproduction of “THUNDERSTEEL”, “Victory” and “Magic Maker” that were not seen in the official “LIVE IN JAPAN 2018” will also be shown. In the latter, you can also enjoy a heavy metal duet with former member and current JAG PANZER Harry Conklin as a guest.
