Ritchie Blackmore found a home in Renaissance music in 1997. Introducing an original recording that allows you to experience the best performance in Japan, which was the first step. What is infused into this work is the "November 3, 1997: Aichi Welfare Pension Hall" performance, which is known for the valuable "Smoke On The Water". This is an exquisite audience recording. They released their debut work "SHADOW OF THE MOON" in April and were scheduled to start a tour from Europe, but it was postponed due to Richie's illness. Japan was the first to see the new project. First, let's take a look back at the panoramic view of the Japan tour that was held ahead of the rest of the world, and check out the show's position along with our store collection.・November 2nd: Nakano Sun Plaza ・November 3rd: Aichi Welfare Pension Hall ←★This work★ ・November 4th “KOBE 1997 (Harborland Plaza)” ・November 6th: Hiroshima Postal Savings Hall ・November 7th “OSAKA 1997 (Festival Hall)” ・November 8th “TOKYO 1997 2ND NIGHT (International Forum)” ・November 10th: Kanagawa Kenmin Hall ・November 11th: Sendai Sunplaza Hall *Note: Both days Representative works only. That's all 8 performances. Although a secret gig was held in May 1997, the official premiere was in Japan. The Nagoya performance of this work was the first and second performance among them. This work, recorded at such an innocent scene, is truly the best. What's most wonderful is the core that jumps into your ears without any sense of distance. Although it must be an audience recording that absorbed the sound of the hall, the atmosphere is crystal clear and you can clearly feel the core that runs through the middle. When he becomes an MC, there is a sense of distance, but during the performance, even the slightest detail of the gentle guitar and fragile singing voice is vivid. Moreover, the faint sound of the hall gives luster and dynamism to the core. Musically speaking, it cannot be powerful, but it is a ``world of beauty that can only be experienced by the audience'' that does not hide details and creates an exquisite depth and unique feeling of pouring rain. What is depicted with that beautiful sound is a full show because it was 1997, when people were immersed in the joy of new music and did not hesitate to play DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW numbers. Nowadays, there are many official BLACKMORE'S NIGHT live performances, so let's organize the songs that can't be heard on those, featuring them. BLACKMORE'S NIGHT (12 songs) Shadow of the Moon: Shadow Of The Moon/ Be Mine Tonight (★)/Play Minstrel Play/Minstrel Hall/Memmingen/Renaissance Faire/Mond Tanz/Greensleeves (★)/The Clock Ticks On/Writing On The Wall・Others: St. Teresa/Under A Violet Moon Others (7 songs)・Deep Purple: Smoke On The Water (★)・Rainbow: The Temple Of The King (★)/Sixteenth Century Greensleeves/ Ariel / Still I'm Sad (★) / Difficult To Cure (★) / Man On The Silver Mountain (★) *Note: Songs marked with a "★" cannot be heard in the official live version. ...and it looks like this. The debut work ``SHADOW OF THE MOON'' number is delicious, but you can also enjoy plenty of HR classics that have been repainted in a new form. Particularly noteworthy is the last song “Smoke On The Water.” It begins by taking over the guitar solo from “Man On The Silver Mountain”, but it was only played in Nagoya in Japan. You can enjoy this extremely valuable live performance with exquisite sound that is vivid down to the subtleties. Also, although not mentioned above, the SE before the performance is also a highlight. Recording started more than 8 minutes before the first song "Shadow Of The Moon", and you can also enjoy DES GEYERS SCHWARZER HAUFEN's "Susatissimo" which was played in the venue. This SE is also an important production as part of the show, and it is a live album where you can enjoy the full show in total. After that, BLACKMORE'S NIGHT would be pursued by Ritchie Blackmore for a quarter of a century. This is a valuable live album where you can enjoy the full show immediately after its birth with exquisite sound. It was a special night in Nagoya, even during a historical performance in Japan. An exquisite audience recording of the "November 3, 1997: Aichi Welfare Pension Hall" performance, which is the second performance in the world. The core that jumps into your ears without any sense of distance is wonderful, and the subtle guitar and ephemeral singing voice are vivid down to the smallest details. The subtle hall sound that does not hide the details gives luster and dynamism to the core, creating an exquisite thickness and a unique feeling of pouring water. It is a beautiful recording precisely because it is an audience. In addition to the debut work ``SHADOW OF THE MOON'', HR classics are also actively incorporated, and ``Smoke On The Water'', which was only available in Nagoya in Japan, can be enjoyed with superb sound.
