Krokus Krokus/PA,USA 07.05.1982 FM Broadcast Edition

Krokus in 1982 left their homeland of Switzerland and were burning with the desire to conquer the world. This scorching soundboard album will immerse you in the live performances of that time. This work was recorded at the "July 5, 1982 Erie Performance." This is a stereo soundboard recording. Krokus steadily expanded globally throughout the 1980s, especially in 1982, when they underwent a management overhaul. With the release of the album "One Vice at a Time," they made a bold move. Let's start with a bird's-eye view of their activities, which highlight their momentum at the time. [February: "One Vice at a Time" Release] February 11-24: UK (11 shows); March 8-27: Europe (16 shows); April 8-August 9: North America #1 (59 shows); ★here★; September 2-19: North America #2 (15 shows). This is Krokus in 1982. The "ONE VICE AT A TIME Tour" was their biggest world tour, especially their two North American tours. This Erie performance was part of their once-in-a-lifetime invasion of the United States. It was the 50th concert at the end of "North America #1." Newly Excavated Pre-FM Reel Master: This show was broadcast on the RKO Radio Network's signature program "CAPTURED LIVE" and is a staple known for producing numerous pre-releases. This work is a new master that updates the pinnacle of this famous broadcast. Its true identity is a pre-broadcast reel master, recently discovered and digitized by the prestigious "Krw_co." The sound is undoubtedly the best ever. While it may feel a little rough to call it fully official, that's due to the wild live performance of the star, KROKUS. RKO's mix, which has left behind numerous famous broadcasts, is official quality, and the freshness is immense, with no dubbing marks or even having never been broadcast on the airwaves. Rather, it portrays the heat of live music with an almost overly honest honesty. For example, the better the sound quality of MOTORHEAD or VENOM's live shows, the more extreme and violent they seem. It's the same thing. A scorching live performance fueled by the ambition to conquer America. Indeed, the live performance depicted with that pre-FM sound is overwhelmingly passionate, burning with the desire to conquer America. The broadcast time is just under an hour, and even the interviews are included, so the live performance itself is only six songs and 39 minutes long, but it packs in an incredible amount of energy in the time of about one LP. Let's take a look at the set contents: Scorching Hardware (3 songs), Burning Bones/Winning Man/Easy Rocker, and others (3 songs), Metal Rendezvous: Heatstrokes, and the Unscrupulous Metal Army: Long Stick Goes Boom/American Woman... The set features a string of killer hits from their breakthrough album "METAL RENDEZ-VOUS" to "ONE VICE AT A TIME." The density of this album is like a best-of compilation of three studio albums. Moreover, each track is scorching hot with stage energy. It's a live performance packed with the ambition and passion to conquer the US. It's truly scorching hot. They finally achieved a national hit with their next album, "HEADHUNTER," but it was the sizzling performance of the "ONE VICE AT A TIME Tour" that opened the door. This album is proof of that sound. It's a soundboard album that pours a historic live performance into your brain with pre-FM sound. It's an exquisite album that even feels explosive. It's a stereo soundboard recording of the "July 5, 1982 Erie Performance." This pre-FM reel master, recently unearthed and digitized by the prestigious "Krw_co," is undoubtedly the best ever. The RKO mix, which has left a legacy of many famous broadcasts, is official quality, and the freshness is unmatched, with no traces of dubbing or even having never been broadcast on the airwaves. This is the ultimate soundboard album update, bringing to mind the ambitious, scorching live performance from the biggest US tour of their career. The Fieldhouse, Erie, PA, USA, July 5, 1982.
