The second time in 1975 was an unparalleled event in the history of Jeff Beck's visit to Japan. The first day, "August 3, 1975, Sapporo Makomanai Indoor Stadium," has been revived with the best sound. The key to this work is its wonderful sound, but before that, let's look back at the situation at that time. This year's visit to Japan was planned in conjunction with the now legendary rock event "1st WORLD ROCK FESTIVAL EASTLAND". Jeff Beck, who had just released the great album "BLOW BY BLOW," was one of the highlights of the event, but Jeff, who was the essential, became ill. It all started on July 26, one week before his visit to Japan. It was a stadium performance in New Orleans, but unfortunately it was raining. Jeff, who had caught a cold there, canceled the Atlanta performance and went to Hawaii while trying to recover. However, when he forced the Hawaii performance on July 30 without recovering as he had intended, his condition worsened further. He would have arrived in Japan a few days before and was fully prepared, but he stayed in Hawaii to recuperate until the last minute to get better. The other members had already arrived in Sapporo, but Jeff arrived at Haneda Airport just after 3 p.m. on the first day of the Sapporo performance (!). Jeff then hurried from Haneda to Sapporo. What was happening at the venue? It would have been canceled in modern terms, but they were waiting for Jeff to arrive. Not only Jeff's performance, but all the bands had already finished playing, and there was a long, long break. An announcement was made in the venue that "Jeff, whose flight was delayed, had arrived at Chitose Airport and was heading to Sapporo." Jeff finally arrived, did about 10 minutes of tuning, and took the stage 70 minutes after all the bands had finished. It was at such a moment that this work begins to talk about the venue. This work begins with the voice of the famous event organizer saying, "There have been many things, but Jeff Beck has finally arrived!" The sound is really, really wonderful. The only recording of this day is the legendary analog "JEFF BECK LIVE IN JAPAN (POTK-001)", but this work is a direct CD from the original LP. There were also previously released CDs from this LP, such as "WORLD ROCK 1975", but the entire work was covered with harsh noises that were not on the original LP, and there were also occasional sound cuts. On the other hand, this work uses a superb board that was treasured by a core collector in Japan in like-new condition. In addition, the mastering was done to carefully treat every single scratch noise, and the order of the songs, which had been changed due to the constraint of playing each side of the LP, was also corrected (Superstition and Air Blower). Of course, the natural sound that was originally included in the original LP is intact, and no excessive equalization has been performed. This is a piece that reproduces the entire concert as faithfully as possible. In fact, the sound is wonderfully clear while overflowing with the warmth peculiar to analog. The groove played by the rhythm section, which is made up of black members, is vivid, and Jeff's selfish guitar dancing on it is extremely vivid. The modest but beautiful keyboard sound of Max Middleton is also the best. The live performance depicted with such a beautiful sound proves that it was not a mistake to recuperate until the very end. He is still not in perfect condition, and while he performed a great performance in Nagoya, his condition worsened to acute pneumonia and he was forced to cancel the Kyoto performance, but the performance of this work does not seem to be in such a state of health. His sweet tone, sharp cutting, and the vividness of his sharp phrases. Jeff is great in any era and in any music, but the guitar speaks more eloquent than a thousand words about how special "1975" was when he created the great album "BLOW BY BLOW". At the time, the long-awaited audience was in a commotion, and that atmosphere can be felt at the beginning of this work. However, after Jeff played just a few bars, the tone was captivating, and the silence of Shin was also clearly engraved. Although it was a 44-minute live performance without an encore, it is a superb live album that revives the entire performance with the best possible sound. It is a document album that conveys the performance of the atmosphere of the turbulent site to the present day. The analog record that protected the music over 40 years and the highest quality that could be achieved only with modern technology.
