On the other hand, there was no leakage of the sound board on the second day in Osaka, and now it is undeniable that it was overlooked in terms of release of items during the 1996 Japan tour. If it becomes a high quality audience with the same taper as "NAGOYA 1996 DAT MASTER" and this time's "OSAKA 1996 1ST NIGHT: DAT MASTER", it will be an amazing discovery that will attract attention from enthusiasts all over the world. The quality on the first day in Nagoya and Osaka was amazing, and I was not disappointed. The opening BGM gives you a feeling that the sound image will be close, and when the performance starts, it is already amazing. As with the other two performances, the sound pressure is comparable to a sound board, as well as the vividness of the sounds played by each member including Jimmy. It conveys the momentum of the performance and the atmosphere of the venue far more than a so-called "bad soundboard" that simply distributes the sounds neatly. If this sound source had been released in 1996, it might have been a big deal. It was the same at Nagoya, but I can't believe that such a superb recording has been hidden until now. After all, the sound image of the performance is close, and yet, just like the first day in Osaka, the grain of Charlie Jones' bass line stands out. In the case of an audience recording that captures a band like Page Plant, if you can't hear the rhythm section clearly, it becomes very stressful for the audience to listen to it. You will be able to realize just how exceptional the quality is just by saying that they are caring for you. There were no surprises in the setlist compared to the previous two performances, which featured a series of rare repertoires, but on the other hand, since the setlist consisted only of the repertoire they were used to, Jimmy and the entire band were able to play at ease. It is also unique to this sound source that you can clearly see how he is playing. Among them, Michael Lee's drumming is rampant throughout the live performance, and it seems that he is pounding all the more because there is no experimental repertoire or acoustic songs from the previous two days. An easy-to-understand example is "What Is and What Should Never Be." On the first day in Osaka, the performance was played in such a pompous tone that it seemed a little too slow, but on this day, it had a tremendous sense of speed. The tempo was so different compared to the first day that it seemed like they were a different band. Of course, the main character is Lee's drums. Without falling into imitation of Bonzo, yet playing as if he respected him, I realized that the driving force behind Page Plant's live sound was. Also, halfway through the Tokyo trip, "Tea For One" made its stage debut at Blues Corner, and it felt like it had become a regular, but on this day, it was the first time in a while that the traditional "Since I've Been Loving You" performance was performed. ” was played, which seems to have been a blessing in disguise. Thanks to this, Jimmy has returned to the songs he is used to playing and is playing as much as he wants. The same goes for “The Song Remains The Same”, which was also a great performance full of a sense of speed. Also, unlike the peaceful atmosphere of the first day in Osaka, there was a lot of excitement on this day, which may have turned a switch on for the players. In the second half of the live show, Robert took the lead in the long progression from "Whole Lotta Love" to "Dazed and Confused," and Bobby Womack (or rather, it would be easier to say Rolling Stones) )'s ``It's All Over Now'' in a frightening atmosphere. And "In the Evening" is the highlight of the final stage of the live show, which was made exciting by Jimmy and Lee's synergistic effect. In this way, avoiding repertoire-related adventures, the familiar repertoire was successful, and each person was able to immerse themselves in playing, which is why this masterpiece was created in the latter half of the 1996 Japan tour. Thanks to the superb audience this time, you will feel as if you are performing right in front of your eyes!
