The Japan tour accompanying “MAGNUM OPUS” in 1995 consisted of 17 performances including the Budokan, but this edition was the first day of the tour on September 8th, the Kagoshima Citizens’ Culture Hall performance, 2 hours 4 with ultra-high sound quality sound board recording. This is a must-listen item for fans recorded over a minute. Of course, it is the first sound source that has not been distributed among traders at all, and it uses a super rare master cassette directly. Although there is hiss noise peculiar to analog recording, it is recorded with the highest level of sound quality with excellent balance, and the listening response is perfect from beginning to end. There was a tape change at 2:50 on the Red House, there was a break due to the master at 1:24 on the Seventh Sign, and the Black Star ended halfway through the 5-minute recording, and I’ll See at the encore last. The Light, Tonight, etc. have the drawback of being unpaid, but the first-ever vivid line recording take that every collector hears for the first time is definitely a must-listen for all Yngwie fans. Former loudness Mike Vescera is the vocalist of this period, and he will give you a relaxed and stable vocal performance. Many “Seventh Sign” and “Magnum Opus” numbers in which Mike participated are played, and you can enjoy the set unique to this time with the highest sound quality. Yngwie’s guitar is also recorded with a wonderful sound that penetrates, and the technical play that can be heard with ultra clear sound is perfect for listening. The support members also listen to stable play, and Barry Sparks’ bass solo etc. are quite responsive. It’s a super title that can be said to be the best thing for fans this year.
1995年「MAGNUM OPUS」に伴う日本ツアーは武道館を含む17公演が組まれましたが、本盤はツアー初日9月8日、鹿児島市民文化ホール公演を、超高音質サウンドボード録音で2時間4分に渡って収録したファン必聴のアイテムです。勿論、トレーダー間でも一切出回っていない初登場音源であり、激レアのマスターカセットをダイレクトに使用しています。アナログ録音特有のヒスノイズがありますが、バランス抜群の最高レベルの音質で収録されており、終始聴き応えは満点です。Red House の2:50でテープチェンジがあること、Seventh Signの1：24でマスターに起因する音切れがあること、Black Starが5分間の収録で途中で終わってしまいアンコールラストのI’ll See The Light,Tonight等が未収という欠点はありますが、全てのコレクターが初めて耳にする初登場の生々しいライン録音テイクは間違いなく、全てのイングヴェイ・ファン必聴でしょう。この時期のボーカルは元ラウドネスのマイク・ヴェセーラが務めており、伸びやかで安定したボーカル・パフォーマンスを聴かせてくれます。マイクの参加した「Seventh Sign」と「Magnum Opus」ナンバーが多くプレイされており、この時期ならではのセットを最高音質で楽しめます。イングヴェイのギターも突き抜けるような素晴らしいサウンドで収録されており、ウルトラクリアーな音で聴けるテクニカルなプレイは聴き応え満点です。サポートメンバーも安定したプレイを聴かせてくれ、バリー・スパークスのベース・ソロなどもなかなか聴き応えあります。ファンにとっては今年一番の出物とも言えるスーパー・タイトルです。
