Art Garfunkel recently finished his first performance in Japan in three years. The original video capturing that performance has been decided to be released. This work contains the "November 16, 2017 Orchard Hall performance". I'm sure many of you have actually been to the site. First of all, let's check the position of the show on the tour schedule for the purpose of recording. ・November 6: Sapporo City Education and Culture Hall・November 8: Morioka City Tonan Cultural Hall・November 10: Tohoku University Centennial Memorial Hall・November 13: Hiroshima JMS Aster Plaza・November 14: Amashin Archaic Hall・November 16: Orchard Hall [This work]・November 17: Orchard Hall The Japan tour, which started in Sapporo, took 11 days to perform 7 shows. The last was the second consecutive performance at Orchard Hall, but this work is the first day in Tokyo. This work, which records such a show, is a truly wonderful audience shot. This is a recording by a familiar recordist who also recorded Bob Dylan last year, and the latest digital color and bold zoom are beautiful. In fact, the screen sometimes shakes a little due to the zoom, but the concentration to keep Art's waist up on the screen is amazing. Moreover, because it is so close, even his mouth and facial expression are clearly visible. The gaze over the audience and the emotion filled with emotion are vividly reflected. Moreover, that gaze is also the realism of the show. This time, they came to Japan with a simple three-person lineup, and the highlights are not scattered here and there. They almost always keep their eyes on Art, and occasionally their eyes move to the piano and guitar that attract the attention of the venue with beautiful melodies. Most of the audience at the venue probably looked the same, and that view itself is reproduced. Furthermore, the sound is superb. The simple and delicate "ringing" is transparent and clear, and there is no sense of turbidity or cloudiness at all. Not only the touch of the piano and guitar, but also the quiet air where you can hear the sound of clothes rustling, and his singing voice, which has become gentler with age, is clear down to every syllable. He spoke a lot in Japanese, such as "I love singing," "Everyone is so kind," and "Tokyo," and those MCs were also captured crystal clear. The show depicted with such quality is truly rich. Beautiful and gentle melodies fill about 70 minutes, including a number of covers of his solo and SIMON & GARFUNKEL masterpieces. Art's singing voice, which turned 76 just before the start of the Japan tour, seems to be in good shape, and the simple arrangement of this time suits Art well. It is a show where a gentle emotion is cultivated with each song. At one point, Art's singing career was in danger due to vocal cord paralysis. Three years ago, that anxiety was dispelled, but this time he once again gave us a gentle and enveloping singing voice. The video and sound of this work synchronize with the scene. This is a wonderful video recording that lets you immerse yourself in her singing voice and her famous songs. It's a must-see for those long autumn nights.
