Santana’s first visit to Japan, which is also a myth of Japanese Western history. The legendary recording that handed over the full show is an upgrade. It is a press 2CD that permanently preserves the highest sound revived from Omoto Cassette. What is blown into this work is “July 6, 1973: Nippon Budokan”. It is the finest audience recording. Speaking of their first visit to Japan, not only is it left in the official tradition of Lotus, but also TV broadcasting professional shot is known as a standard. In order to organize the situation in that area, let’s first look back from the miracle Japan tour schedule realized in the 49th year.
・ June 27: Fukuoka City Kyuden Memorial Gymnasium ・ June 28: Hiroshima Post Savings Hall ・ June 30 + July 1: Nagoya City Public Hall (2 performances) ・ July 2: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ・ July 3: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ← * Lotus Legend ・ July 4: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall ← * Lotus Legend ・ July 5; Kyoto Kaikan ・ July 6: Nippon Budokan ← * TV broadcast & ★ This work ★ ・ July 7: Nippon Budokan ← * TV broadcast ・ July 10 + 11: Hokkaido Welfare Pension Hall (2 performances)
Above, all 12 performances. LED ZEPPELIN had five performances in Japan for the first time, and in the same year’s first visit to Japan and Deep Purple, this scale was in the first time in Japan. How the visit to Santana was an incident, and the schedule alone would be transmitted. Under such circumstances, “Lotus Legend” was Osaka, while this work is Nippon Budokan. However, while the famous TV broadcasting professional shot was edited from two days, this work is a valuable record that recorded the first day performance (July 6) at once.
[Legendary cassette that has been handed down to Full Show is excavated]
Moreover, this recording was more than “Lotus Legend”. It was a recording that appeared as “EROS” more than 20 years ago, but it boasted the quality of being traded as a soundboard, and it was a full recording of the show. At present, “Lotus Legend” has also been fully version in the SACD edition, but it has been incomplete for many years. The last 20 years have been “The whole view of the first visit to Japan = EROS”. The introduction has become longer, but this work is a copy of such a legendary recording “EROS”. 。 。 。 So, not. The Omoto cassette was excavated, and it was the highest peak update board that was re -digitized in the latest environment in 2022. Moreover, “Graf Zeppelin” was responsible for that work. It is the ultimate board that jumped over half a century space -time due to the careful digitalization that is called paranoid. [Legendary site that has been reprinted without wasteful for 1 second]
In fact, this work has a record high in both quality and quantity. First, “amount”. Although it was full recording from the legendary edition “EROS”, the end of the tape was omitted during digitalization, and the cut point was also faded. As a result, the valuable “1973 raw sound” was reduced. Of course, this work is reprinted to the maximum, not for one second. It is recorded for more than 20 seconds before the performance, about 50 seconds after “SE A CABO”, about 30 seconds after “TOUISSAINT L’OVERTURE”, and the end BGM for about 30 seconds longer. And more importantly, between “XIBABA (She-Ba-Ba) / Stone Flower (Introduction)”. This was not between the songs, but the performance part, but somehow “EROS” was cut with a knob for about 9 seconds. Of course, in this work, the valuable live performances are also reprinted. Permanent preservation has been realized. [Natural and rich upgrade sound]
Such “quantity” alone is a breakthrough, but this work also upgrades in terms of quality that penetrates the whole story. This is already greater than anything else. After all, the Transfer of Eros was more than 20 years ago, and it was not praised for modern standards. Perhaps it was the accuracy of its accuracy, but there were traces that forced a large amount of hisss, and as a result, the performance sound was thin, and the applause was difficult to express. On the other hand, this work is extremely natural and the sound is rich. The noise processing is not completely zero, but it does not affect the performance sound. Still, it’s beautiful because the accuracy of the transfer stage is high and it can be digitized with minimal noise in the first place. As a result, the vividness and ease of listening to the soundboard were kept as they were … no, it was able to accurately reproduce the sound of the Nippon Budokan 49 years ago while updating the record high. The first visit to Japan, which revived, is exactly suitable for the name of “legendary”. The set is the same as the SACD version of “Lotus Legend” (of course, the performance is different), but many people will remember the traditional edition in LP size. Finally, let’s organize while comparing the original specification “Lotus Legend”.
● Heavenly guardian deity ・ Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen / Oye Como Va / SE A Cabo / Samba Pa Ti / Incident at Nashabur ● Welcome ・ Going Home / Yours is the right / Samba de sausalito / mantra / light of life (★) ● Santana ・ (Stone Flower Intro) Waiting / Savor (★) ● Others ・ A-1 FUNK / EVERY STEP OF THE WAY / JAPAN (★) / Bambele (★) / Um Um Um (★) / Batukada / Xibaba (SHE-BA-BA) / Castillos de Arena, Part 1 (Sand Castle) / Free Angela / Castillos de Arena, Part 2 (SAND Castle) / Mr.UDO / THE Creator Has A Master Plan (★) / Touissaint L’Overture * Note: “★” is a song that cannot be heard in the traditional work “Lotus Legend (Original Edition)”. Mr. Udo was credited to Savor at the time of LP’s LP LP release.
A legendary name recording that was also the Nippon Budokan version of “Lotus Legend”. It is a cultural heritage album that has been elaborately reprinted from the Omoto cassette. A live album with a shock that is wonderful to listen to as a full version of “Lotus Legend” as a music work, and is unparalleled and can be experienced in the first visit to Japan. 2 hours 36 minutes and 6 seconds, blissed by a strong historical spectacle. With a permanent storage press 2CD, please chew forever.
———————————————— ——————- (Remaster memo) ★ Remastered by Graf Zeppelin
★ Digitization again from the cassette of the existing “EROS” (PRIVATE MASTER / PM-034 /35) ★ It was a masterling with a strong habit due to noise reduction and mid -range emphasis, but this time it is outstanding freshness. ★ Depending on the performance, it feels like a dango, but it is kept in some EQ processing.

★ The finest audience recording of the legendary first visit to Japan “July 6, 1973: Nippon Budokan”. A miracle discharge is a famous cassette that was once traded as a soundboard. This is an upgrade board with the highest peak with the latest transfers by “Graf Zeppelin”. The gap between the shows and the songs are recorded for a long time, and the between the “XIBABA (SHE-BA-BA) / Stone Flower (Introduction)”, which had been cut in the already, was also reprinted. In addition, the sound is further upgraded to natural / rich. It is the birth of a cultural heritage album where you can fully experience the legendary site.
実際、本作は質・量の両面で過去最高を更新している。まず「量」。伝説盤『EROS』からしてフル収録ではあったのですが、デジタル化の際にテープの端が省略され、カット・ポイントもフェイド処理。その結果、貴重な「1973年の生音」が減らされていたのです。もちろん、本作は1秒たりともムダにせず、最大限に復刻。開演前も20秒以上長く収録されており、「Se A Cabo」後の約50秒、「Touissaint L’Overture」後の約30秒、終演BGMも約30秒長く収録されている。
