Chris Impellitteri, the ``fastest man in the world'', burst onto the scene with the masterpiece ``STAND IN LINE'', teaming up with Graham Bonnet. Introducing the highest ever edition of the classic professional shot. What is included in this work is, of course, “July 17, 1988 Power Station Performance”. This is the multi-camera pro shot. At that time, they were not on a regular Japan tour, but came to Japan for a promotional purpose. We also participated in the huge event "KIRIN DRY GIGS '88" at Tokyo Dome, but a week before that we held a showcase gig, and the pro shot broadcast has been a staple for many years. This work is the highest quality version of that. Actually, like the previous version, it is supposed to be an air check recording of TV broadcasts at the time... but it doesn't really look like that. At our store, we deliver many superb videos by core enthusiasts in Japan, and this work is one of them. However, its high quality is on a different level from the previous masterpieces. The freshness of the car, which has probably never been played, is ultimate, and the colors are vivid, the outlines are super clear, and there is no white line noise or uneven running, and it has a glossy beauty. It's like dropping an official laser disc... No, it's more than that, and I wouldn't doubt it even if someone told me, "It was rebroadcast digitally last year." At our store, ``METALLIC LIVE '84'' and ``POWER LIVE'', which are reprints of ALCATRAZZ's official videos in the highest quality, are also very popular, but this work is the third super masterpiece along with them. There are actually two types of images that are depicted with such visual beauty. Let's introduce them individually here. [First half: 1988 Power Station + PV] This is the "Imperitelli version of METALLIC LIVE" that I have been explaining earlier. All songs from the album ``STAND IN LINE'' except ``White And Perfect'' and ``Playing With Fire'' are performed, and ``All Night Long'' is added instead (?). It is a symbolic image of “Graham Era IMPELLITTERI” which is exactly equivalent to the regular album, but it is actually more than that. First of all, it's Graham, but at ALCATRAZZ's first visit to Japan, Graham, who got drunk and took it off, was in great condition, and it is also a video evidence that shows how skillful a singer is even at live performances. And it's also important from Chris's point of view. After all, he is indifferent to live music, and even during the Rob Rock era, there was only one live album recorded with a microphone that looked like a boot. Not only can you see his live shooting in close-up with a multi-camera professional shot, but you can also enjoy it on the ultra-high quality stereo sound board. It is truly the best masterpiece in the entire history of IMPELLITTERI... no, it is a super important video of the history of fast guitar playing. In addition to such “Power Station” pro shots, this work also includes an additional video clip of “Stand In Line”. This is also the same as the main live show, and you can enjoy the pinnacle image of “Graham era IMPELLITTERI” all at once. [Second half: Special program “BLACKTHORNE SPECIAL 1993”] This work also includes a coupling of even more delicious special programs. In 1993, five years after IMPELLITTERI's first visit to Japan, Graham came to Japan to promote BLACKTHORNE with Bruce Kulick, and this is a special corner of the TV program "SUPER VISION" that featured that event. This program is hosted by a certain critic who is familiar to HR/HM fans and introduces Graham's career. While playing clips of Monsters of Rock's ``All Night Long'' and ALCATRAZZ in 1980, the interviews in between are interesting. In the interview with Yngwie, he says, ``I was looking for a guitar player similar to Richie,'' and about Vai, ``I like the album I made with him the most.'' Although he had high praise for his partner at the time, Bob Kulick, he said, ``(The songs that Bob composes) have a certain ``pause'' where the vocals come in. There were some people who didn't give me space for my feelings to come in," and before you know it, it turns into a grudge against someone else. The highlight is "We Won't Be Forgotten" played acoustically. This is a hidden gem of BLACKTHORNE that has been played on the recent ALCATRAZZ, but this performance is not a clip but a studio live performance unique to the program. At that time, Graham was aiming to sing heavy, and you can enjoy the performance where it overwhelms the simple acoustic ensemble. After these two programs, the film concludes with an extremely rare clip of "Hiroshima Mon Amour" with Japanese subtitles. “Power Station” is IMPELLITTERI’s best live video and one of Graham’s three major professional shots in the 80s, along with ALCATRAZZ. This is a super masterpiece that includes the highest updated version and a treasure special number from the BLACKTHORNE era. This is the definitive album that you should collect in the trilogy of ``METALLIC LIVE '84'' and ``POWER LIVE''. Live at Power Station, Tokyo, Japan 17th July 1988 PRO-SHOT(BEST QUALITY) 1.
