Rod Stewart / Universal City 1992: Valentine Vagabond / 1DVDR / Non Label
Rod Stewart in the early 90’s embarked on one of the largest world tours ever with “VAGABOND HEART”, which won platinum discs all over the world. The special version of the symbolic image is the gift release decision.
This work was shot at “Universal City Performance on February 14, 1992”. That multi-camera pro shot. Speaking of “VALENTINE VAGABOND Tour”, it is a huge tour in its prime. If the number of performances is the highest ever, the scale is also the largest, and it was the climax era when the mobilization and sales record was the highest for 25 consecutive weeks in the United States alone. First, let’s look back at the whole view and check the position of the show.
● 1991
“March 26,” VAGABOND HEART “released”
・ March 26-July 27: Europe (59 performances)
・ August 17-December 20: North America # 1 (63 performances)
● 1992
・ January 11-February 15: North America # 2 (21 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
・ February 29-April 3: Oceania (21 performances)
This is Rod Stewart from 1991/1992. It was only in 1991 that he had more than 120 performances in a year in his career, and it was a terrible world tour that the aftermath would be released until the following year. The center is a national tour that sandwiches the year-end and New Year holidays, and the Universal City performance of this work is the final version. It was the glorious highlight performance of “North America # 2”, the penultimate one.
The show at the height of such a career was shot with a professional shot and commercialized as a video work “VALENTINE VAGABOND TOUR”. It was loved as a masterpiece that symbolized the climax. However, it was soon discontinued as the fate of the video work at that time. Even now, it is still not possible to make a regular DVD.
This work is also the same pro shot, but it is not a copy of the official product. It is a Japanese broadcast version that was broadcast on a certain satellite broadcasting station in the 90’s. Of course, since it was originally an official work, the quality is superb. Probably because it has not been officially made into a DVD, although it has analog image quality, it is a “completely official class” that can not be hoped for any more by the standards at that time. Moreover, the master of this work is also wonderful. At our shop, we are the best master of core recording enthusiasts and archive many music programs, and this work is one of them. The glossy and noiseless screen does not seem to be an air check, and of course there are no dubbing marks. It’s like the official video itself.
However, even though the quality is completely official, it is difficult to say that the length is edited to about 90 minutes along the broadcast frame (for that reason, it stayed in the gift title). However, the editing concept is “emphasis on hit songs”. Originally it was a super luxurious Greatest Hits show, but thanks to the narrowing down, the concentration is further increased. It is a super-special video called “all songs single song”. Finally, let’s sort out the richness.
● 70’s number (10 songs)
・ Every Picture Tells A Story / Maggie May
・ Never a Dull Moment: You Wear It Well / Twistin’The Night Away
・ Night on the Town: Tonight’s The Night / The First Cut Is The Deepest
・ Kick off tomorrow: Hot Legs / You’re In My Heart
・ Others: This Old Heart Of Mine / Da Ya Think I’m Sexy
● After the 1980s
・ Vagabond Heart: Rhythm Of My Heart / Broken Arrow / The Motown Song
・ Others: Passion / Infatuation / Downtown Train
A hit after a hit. The ensemble with a luxurious arrangement of choruses and horns is gorgeous, and the mood of the venue where bouquets and stuffed animals are constantly thrown is also glorious. It is a masterpiece of video that goes on the ground with “the best compilation album to see with the eyes” and “the moving Greatest Hits Album”. One piece that depicts the figure of the rod standing at the climax in the climax with complete official grade quality. Please take this opportunity to enjoy yourself.
★ The official video, which is a symbol of the heyday, is released as a gift. In the Japanese broadcast version of the 90’s, the finest master by recording enthusiasts is completely official. It is a “best compilation album that you can see with your eyes” that is filled with single hits for all songs.
