Iron Maiden/UK 1992 Japanese LD Ver. & more

The only masterpiece official video that has not been made into an official DVD has appeared. This is a reprint from the highest quality Japanese laser disc ever. The masterpiece is the multi-camera pro shot “DONINGTON LIVE 1992” that includes the “August 22, 1992: MONSTERS OF ROCK” performance. Speaking of IRON MAIDEN, the band is known for its official archive business. Traditional masterpieces such as ``LIVE AT THE RAINBOW'', ``LIVE AFTER DEATH'', and ``MAIDEN ENGLAND'' have been upgraded and made into DVD. It has captivated the world with tours that recreate those days. Only two works remain from that collection: "DONINGTON LIVE 1992" and "RAISING HELL." At last, the final chapter of a gigantic project that has been going on for 15 years... suddenly things changed. The 2018 reissue release and tour that the world expected to take place did not take place, and instead, the game-themed “LEGACY OF THE BEAST WORLD TOUR” was realized. Moreover, it has been announced that it will continue not only this year but also in 2019. Fans all over the world are scratching their heads, asking, “Huh? What about “DONINGTON LIVE 1992”?” What's even more disturbing is that the previous video work ``THE BOOK OF SOULS: LIVE CHAPTER'' also did not have a video version released, and was only distributed. Steve Harris also said, ``Nobody buys DVDs anymore,'' and people around the world are whispering that ``DONINGTON LIVE 1992'' may never be released on DVD...'' . Of course, that shouldn't happen. If the official is going to give up, someone has to make a DVD of the highest quality... This work was born from such a sense of crisis. This work is a 2-disc set that includes not only the main song "DONINGTON LIVE 1992" but also delicious underground bonuses. Let's introduce each one individually. [Main disc: Japanese version laser disc reprint] First of all, the main disc is "DONINGTON LIVE 1992", which has the highest quality ever. This work was released as a video version of the live album "LIVE AT DONINGTON". ``RAISING HELL'' from the same period was also irregularly released on DVD, but this one was never officially released on DVD, and was only available on VHS/Laserdisc at the time. Among them, the Japanese version laser disc is said to be the best. Standardly, it has higher resolution than VHS and does not cause uneven tape running, but it is also more durable. It is far more resistant to deterioration over time than tape, and there is no playback deterioration. When it comes to old footage, even if the official side tries to turn it into a DVD, the master tape has deteriorated, and there are many cases where the footage is produced from laser discs. The world's best laser disc is made in Japan. At the time, Japan was in the midst of its bubble economy and was actively developing new media, and laser discs were becoming more popular, with an outstanding lineup and quality. For this reason, it is still said to be the best in the world in terms of both quality and preservation, and is highly regarded by collectors. The Japanese laser discs were digitized by an overseas manufacturer specializing in analog video. At our store, we have reprinted many out-of-print videos, and this work is the latest edition, the ultimate version that brings together the accumulated know-how. [A masterpiece video depicting the ultimate masterpiece with a unique personality] What is depicted with such quality is truly a masterpiece among masterpieces! At the time, "FEAR OF THE DARK" was said to be the greatest masterpiece since "THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST," and was a huge hit, especially in its home country, where it reached No. 1 in the UK. Since it was a big success at the UK's biggest MONSTERS OF ROCK, there is no way the excitement could be low. Moreover, according to the members, although they were nervous about being on such a big stage when they first appeared in 1988, they thoroughly enjoyed their second performance. IRON MAIDEN, along with the current DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL, boasts the most appearances of Donnington's birds, but it is the first and exceptional performance. Moreover, the set is a golden age concentrated reduction, yet fresh. In addition to the classic repertoire that still stands today, Fast's masterpiece "Be Quick Or Be Dead", which ranks alongside "Aces High", "Tailgunner", the sequel to "Aces High", and the final part of the Charlotte saga "From Here To" Eternity”, the most famous ballad of the Golden Era, “Wasting Love”, etc. You can enjoy plenty of famous songs that have never been performed since the band became a six-piece band and are now rare. The concentrated set and enthusiastic performance were fully conveyed in the official live album “LIVE AT DONINGTON”, but it is even more amazing in the video. Dave Murray, who usually doesn't move from a fixed position, ran all the way, and the blues throat that recovered from "NO PRAYER ON THE ROAD" was in excellent condition, far exceeding 1988. Bruce left MAIDEN the following year in 1993, but by this time he had not yet considered leaving, and it is no exaggeration to say that his magnificent singing voice and performance were career highs. During this period, a series of live works were released, but in reality, the ensemble of ``RAISING HELL'' seemed to be collapsing, and ``A REAL LIVE DEAD ONE'', which gathered takes from various places, lacked a sense of unity. There are core enthusiasts who call this show the ultimate masterpiece, and you can witness the entire show in the highest quality official video. Additionally, this work has another feature. It feels like an elaborate piece of work. Perhaps because the straight live footage of “LIVE AFTER DEATH” and “MAIDEN ENGLAND” continued, this work has been heavily processed. Depending on the scene, a monochrome screen or aging processing is applied, a long body is added to increase the sense of speed, and the camera work incorporates an unusual perspective... Although the production may seem a little outdated when viewed with modern eyes, its perfection and the elegance that can only be achieved by shooting on film are outstanding. It has a luxurious feel that is completely different from other live videos, and it is just like a full live-sized video clip. [Bonus disc: AUD shot + SBD super-excellent video] The main volume alone is more than enough to be a masterpiece, but this work also comes with an even more delicious bonus disc. That is the audience shot of the same “August 22, 1992: MONSTERS OF ROCK” performance. Moreover, it is a masterpiece video that synchronizes the sound board with the audio (some of the pre-show scenes, MC between songs, etc. are audience audio). You may be thinking, “An audience even though there is an official pro shot?”, but this is really good. As mentioned above, the official "DONINGTON LIVE 1992" is a style created with elaborate video processing similar to a video clip. That in itself is wonderful, but it was also difficult to feel the vividness of the live performance. In that respect, this work is shot through the audience at once. The overwhelming sense of the scene and the mood of the live performance can be felt realistically. Moreover, the quality is also extraordinary. I'm shooting from the left side of the stage (Murray side), but for some reason the viewpoint is higher than the audience seats, so the shadows of the front rows are hardly reflected. From there, he repeatedly zooms in and dynamically captures the entire stage and the members' close-ups. Moreover, that groove. The zoom that matches the beat and the texture of the song is very dynamic. For example, at the end of "The Evil That Men Do," the song ends with two "Yeah, yeah!" sounds, and along with that, let's do some jerking! It moves. This photographer clearly loves MAIDEN and can clearly see that he is enjoying the show to the fullest. It's amazing how active it is, yet so stable. Too amazing. No matter how fast he zooms or chases the running members, he doesn't make even the slightest shake. Occasionally, you can see the frame peeking through the hole, so it looks like it's a hidden shot, but this sense of stability shouldn't be possible without using a tripod... Also, if you think about it the other way around, the camera work is too smooth even though a tripod is used...it's a transcendental image that gives you an indescribably strange feeling. In addition, the official live album includes the full MC that was cut, and Donnington's famous fireworks display after the show is longer than the official version and has a full atmosphere. Donnington is a special sacred place for IRON MAIDEN, but MONSTERS OF ROCK in 1992 was their first great performance and also the last great performance of the golden era. Despite being a historical masterpiece, ``DONINGTON LIVE 1992'' has no way of being made into an official DVD. This is a 2-disc set that includes the highest quality version in history and a bonus audience shot with plenty of on-site experience. It is a video work on a different level from many professional shots, and at the end of 2018, 40 years since the first official recording "THE SOUNDHOUSE TAPES", please spend time with MAIDEN's most famous performances.
