JOURNEY in 1980 laid the groundwork for a major success, with "DEPARTURE" featuring Kevin Elson reaching No. 8 in the United States. Introducing the masterpiece pro shot that symbolized the Japanese performance. The symbolic video was shot on October 11, 1980: Nakano Sunplaza performance. This is a multi-camera professional shot. Speaking of coming to Japan in 1980, it is a familiar place as it was included as part of the traditional official live album "CAPTURED". First, let's look back at the schedule at that time and check the show's position.・October 8th: Shibuya Public Hall ・October 10th: Osaka Expo Commemoration Hall (daytime session) ・October 10th: Osaka Expo Commemoration Hall (evening session) ・October 11th: Nakano Sunplaza ←★Book Written by★・October 13th: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall ← *Official CAPTURED and above, 5 performances in total. The venue for “CAPTURED” was held at the Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall on the final day, but the Nakano performance of this work was the one before that. This show is also famous for being broadcast on TV, and has produced a number of existing groups as a symbol of coming to Japan in 1980. This work was loved as its best version. This is the highest version master that was once pressed as part of "LINE OF DEPARTURE". “LINE OF DEPARTURE” was a set of “Pro Shot + Audience Recording”, but this work is a standalone product of only the Pro Shot version. In fact, its quality is worthy of the name of the highest peak. As expected, the image quality of period analog recording cannot be touted as "official grade!", but the freshness of the master is wonderful. There are very few dubbing marks, and there is almost no twisting, distortion, or white line noise. Nowadays, there are videos on the market that have been forcibly made flashy by raising the highlights to a glaring state under the name of digital mastering, but there is no need to worry about that with this work. You can fully enjoy the natural beauty of the video as it was recorded. And even more than that is audio. The TV broadcast had monaural audio, but this work was synchronized with another superb soundboard master that was discovered in later years. Not only is it now stereo, but the sound quality has also been significantly upgraded. However, the stereo master was not a complete continuous recording, and there were gaps between some songs and a part of "People And Places". Therefore, in this work, the original TV broadcast sound board is also connected to realize the complete version. It has been created into a video work that allows you to seamlessly enjoy the full show. What is depicted with the strongest quality of “natural video + stereo sound board” is a full show that can be said to be “CAPTURED to see with your eyes”. However, the sets are similar but different, so let's compare and organize them here. Departure・Where Were You／People And Places (★)／Precious Time (★)／Stay Awhile／Homemade Love (★)／Walks Like A Lady／Any Way You Want It／I'm Cryin' (★)／Line Of Fire Others - Journey to Space: Of A Lifetime (★) / Kohoutek (★) - Infinity: Lights / Anytime / La Do Da / Wheel In The Sky - Evolution: Just The Same Way / Lovin' You Is Easy ( ★) / Too Late / Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'・Live Energy: Dixie Highway *Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard on the traditional version “CAPTURED”. ...and it looks like this. 9 out of 12 songs of the latest work "DEPARTURE" are big hits. “People And Places” and “Precious Time”, which will be sealed for more than 20 years, are delicious, but “Homemade Love”, which is truly exclusive to this tour, is also valuable. The highlight is "I'm Cryin'", which is not only a limited song of "DEPARTURE Tour", but also a super rare song that was only recorded in Japan at the time, and you can see it in a professional shot. And the performance that spells out such a set is also wonderful. At that time, it was Greg Rory's final period, and the ensemble that retained the progressive rock color was exquisite. He will also perform masterpieces from his debut work such as "Of A Lifetime / Kohoutek". Key players such as Steve Perry and Kevin Elson have gathered one by one, leaving only Jonathan Cain to participate. It is a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the full show of ``steps'' of hop, step, and jump with multi-camera professional shots. A symbolic video of the era upgraded with stereo soundboard audio. Multi-camera professional shot of "October 11, 1980: Nakano Sun Plaza Performance". This is a classic video that has been known for a long time, and this is the highest version of it. The unprocessed best master with plenty of natural feeling is synchronized with another sound board audio. This sound is the key point, and unlike TV broadcasts that were monaural, this is a superb stereo soundboard. You can enjoy plenty of rare songs that can't be heard on ``CAPTURED'', such as ``People And Places'', ``Precious Time'', ``Homemade Love'', and ``I'm Cryin'''.
