Magician Per Erik is name recordings left over to the United States is not a single. Also it is two days before the main press 2CD “May 9”, it had a great recording. To the last or the last should be 4CD Press in conjunction with the “LAGUNA HILLS” of main opinion but was broken, slightly there is a sense of distance, the press of this recording, which is also feeling enthusiasm came to the front of the audience, tearfully it was decided to give up. Result, but is this work that was settled in bonus CDR, quality is higher agonizing choice is forced. All of the chatter, no change to the main “SLIP IN LAGUNA HILLS” is there no noise, thus listening barb while When I wrote the introduction sentence “Too Do not …… if I should have to 4CD” and the like, and hesitation is revived it is Kuruhodo (it is not indecisive a sorry!).
It much quotient spelled in high-quality sound, this volume as well great. Steve Vai effect has been demonstrated in the songs, it does not stop the new song of “SLIP OF THE TONGUE”, has been reborn also songs of “SLIDE IT IN” and “SERPENCE ALBUS”. Especially I would like you to note the “Slow An ‘Easy” and “Crying In The Rain”. “Slow An ‘Easy”, such as the bluesy intro and solo, but this song success of Adrian is noticeable in the highlight, sneak and Sururi to Kyokuso you taking advantage of the gap reminiscent of LED ZEPPELIN “a little strange” phrase. Precisely because not flashy stretched the lead role, it is the moment to sense itself is show up.
On the contrary, enjoy is one of such play contest the seat of the protagonist is “Crying In The Rain”. Such as intro and obligation, and like Adrian and Vai is exchange the phrase everywhere will enjoy the fully. Whereas the original is a characteristic Adrian approaching technical in Kanagurisute a “melodious classical taste”, and Vai that individuality is exploding even tone one shot of picking harmonics and choking. Sorry towards Adrian fans, but might have apparently “rating” is different. While Vie blues songs, a solo approaching in strong force in habit you do not feel any blues taste show off the defeated play enough will want to say “I do not have anyone Anta Nya enemy” to Vai to. Best solo of this song there should be no other than John Sykes, but was Semare up here in a different flavor and Kano tour de force would only him.

In song “tremendous while variant” was confronted by the quotient, of 1990 WHITESANKE. Although it is “SLIP IN LAGUNA HILLS” what first recommended the main press 2CD, Gotae hear of this work has also led to put hard (sense of distance scale sense of MIG Investments SA and the Client, and those who prefer the tail This volume by preference you may have also). Magician Per Erik is, a sound that did not can be only in this era name recordings were vacuum-packed, Please enjoy two shows worth carefully!

魔術師Per Erikがアメリカに渡って残した名録音は1本ではありません。本編プレス2CDの2日前となる「5月9日」にも、素晴らしい録音をしていました。本編の“LAGUNA HILLS”と併せて4CDプレスすべきか最後の最後まで意見が割れましたが、わずかに距離感があり、観客の熱狂が前面に出た感もある本録音のプレス化は、泣く泣くあきらめることになりました。結果、ボーナスCDRに落ち着いた本作ですが、苦渋の選択が迫られるほどクオリティは高い。一切のビビり、ノイズがないのは本編「SLIP IN LAGUNA HILLS」と変わりなく、こうして聴きかえしながら紹介文を書いていると“やっぱり4CDにすれば良かったかな……”などと、迷いが甦ってくるほどです(優柔不断で申し訳ない!)。
それくらいハイ・クオリティなサウンドで綴られたショウは、本編同様に素晴らしい。スティーヴ・ヴァイ効果は、全曲で発揮されており、「SLIP OF THE TONGUE」の新曲に止まらず、「SLIDE IT IN」や「SERPENCE ALBUS」の曲も生まれ変わっている。特に注目していただきたいのは「Slow An’ Easy」や「Crying In The Rain」。「Slow An’ Easy」は、ブルージーなイントロやソロなど、見せ場でエイドリアンの活躍が目立つ曲ですが、LED ZEPPELINを思わせる隙間を生かした曲想にスルリと忍び込む“ちょっと妙”なフレーズ。派手に主役を張らないからこそ、センスそのものが姿を見せる瞬間です。
その逆に、主役の座を争うかのようなプレイが楽しめるのが「Crying In The Rain」。イントロやオブリなど、随所でエイドリアンとヴァイがフレーズを交わす様が存分に味わえます。本来の持ち味である“メロディアスなクラシカル味”をかなぐり捨てでもテクニカルに迫るエイドリアンに対し、ピッキングハーモニクスやチョーキングのトーン一発でも個性が炸裂するヴァイ。エイドリアンのファンの方には申し訳ありませんが、どうやら“格”が違ったのかもしれません。へヴィブルース曲ながら、ブルース味を一切感じさせないくせにド迫力で迫るソロでは「誰もあんたにゃ敵いませんよ」と言いたくなるほどの弾き倒しを見せつけるヴァイ。この曲のベストソロはジョン・サイクス以外にあり得ませんが、かの名演とは違う持ち味でここまで迫れたのは彼だけでしょう。

かようにして“異形ながら凄まじい”ショウを見せつけた、1990年のWHITESANKE。本編プレス2CDの「SLIP IN LAGUNA HILLS」こそ第一のお勧めですが、本作の聴きごたえも甲乙つけがたい(距離感がスケール感にも繋がっており、好みによっては本編よりお好きな方もいるかもしれません)。魔術師Per Erikが、この時代にしかありえなかったサウンドを真空パックした名録音、ぜひ2公演分じっくりとお楽しみください!
