Boz Scaggs came to Japan in 1988 to perform at the big event "DRY GIGS" with Billy Joel and Art Garfunkel. A valuable original recording that conveys the scene is now available. Of course, what is included in this work is “July 24, 1988: Tokyo Dome Performance”. This is an exquisite audience recording. “DRY GIGS” is a festival-style event sponsored by a beverage manufacturer, which also serves as an advertisement for the best of Western music. However, Boz did not come to Japan just for this one night; he also went on a Japan tour in conjunction with "OTHER ROADS" (the world release of "OTHER ROADS" was August 30th, but in Japan It was pre-sold on May 21st.) First of all, let's start with the schedule for coming to Japan, which shows the situation at that time.・June 30th: Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium ・July 1st: Shizuoka Civic Cultural Center ・July 3rd: Nagoya Civic Center ・July 4th: Osaka Castle Hall ・July 5th: Hiroshima Welfare Pension Hall ・July 6th: Fukuoka Sun Palace ・July 8th-10th: Nippon Budokan (3 performances) ・July 24th: Tokyo Dome ←★This work★ A total of 10 performances. This week, a new excavation live album from the "MIDDLE MAN" era, "BUDOKAN 1980 FINAL NIGHT: DEFINITIVE MASTER" will be released, but this is the first time since 1980 that there have been 10 performances and 3 Nippon Budokan performances. At this time, the Tokyo Dome was added to the scene, so you can clearly see how strong the Japanese spirit was at that time. Now, this work was recorded at such a monumental festival site, but this is the splendor that is away from the dome. Some of you may have already noticed, but in fact, the Billy Joel edition and the IMPELLITTERI edition, which appeared at the same festival, have already been released, and this work is also by the same recording artist. If you have experienced these two works, you will know that the sound is unbelievable at Tokyo Dome. Of course, I'm not the type to mistake it for a soundboard, and I don't have to listen to it with headphones to absorb the thick rumble. However, the core that runs through the middle is strangely strong, and the outline is sharp and sharp. And above all, the density of sound. Even the snare, which tends to give a sense of distance, is captured with plenty of response, making it feel very close. Although the scale of the Dome is evident in the sound that spreads toward the back of the head (the applause that gently spreads like May rain between songs is a great spectacle), the performance sounds and singing voices that are thrown in front of you are unique to Dome. It's a recording. What is depicted with such direct sound is a stage unique to 1988 where you can enjoy plenty of “OTHER ROADS” numbers. Let's organize the contents as well. Silk Degrees (4 songs), Lowdown/Georgia/Lido Suffle/We're All Alone Other Road (5 songs), Claudia/Heart Of Mine/Cool Running/Right Out Of My Head/Crimes Of Passion Others (5 songs) )・Middle Man: Breakdown Dead Ahead/Jojo・Others: Gimme The Goods/Miss Sun/Look What You've Done to Me...and so on. The set distribution is balanced, with the major work ``SILK DEGREES'' and the latest work ``OTHER ROAD'', and the rest being approximately 1/3 each with ``Other''. In particular, “OTHER ROADS” is valuable, and with the exception of “Heart Of Mine,” many people may be hearing it played live for the first time. A precious 1988 stage that is a blessing just to listen to. This is a live album where you can experience the highlight performances with great sound. Boz fans will love the many rare songs, and recording buffs will be amazed, wondering if such a sound is possible in a dome. And for those who fall into both categories, this is an absolute must-have. Exquisite audience recording of "July 24, 1988: Tokyo Dome Performance". This is from the same recording artist's collection as Billy Joel's ``Uxbridge 1431'' and IMPELLITTERI's ``Shades 1303,'' and I was surprised by the sound, which was so clear that I couldn't believe it was recorded in a dome. The core that penetrates through the middle of the thick sound is strangely strong, and even the snare, which tends to give off a sense of distance, is captured with plenty of response, making it feel very close. This is the first original sound source where you can enjoy not only the major songs of ``SILK DEGREES'' but also the valuable ``OTHER ROAD'' numbers.
