The best live in Japan of the glorious “ASSAULT ATTACK TOUR” is now available on 2CD! This work was recorded at the second performance in Japan. This is the audience album for "January 17, 1983: Kyoto Kaikan". Since he came to Japan at the height of his popularity, many recordings have appeared, and we have introduced many of them at our store. This is a good opportunity, so let's sort things out once and for all. ・January 13th: Fukuoka Sun Palace Hall “GOD RETURNS DEFINITIVE MASTER” ・January 15th: Nagoya City Public Hall ・January 17th: Kyoto Kaikan [this work] ・January 18th: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall “OSAKA 1983 1ST NIGHT”・January 19th: Osaka Welfare Pension Center “OSAKA 1983 2ND NIGHT”・January 20th: Tokyo, Nippon Budokan “BURNIN' WITH DESERT FIRE” This is the whole story of “ASSAULT ATTACK JAPAN TOUR 1983”. In this way, we have reported most of all 6 performances in the live album, but this work is one of the special ones. Of course, the masterpiece of the tour will be the soundboard album “GOD RETURNS DEFINITIVE MASTER” from the Fukuoka performance, but although this work is an audience recording, it is a masterpiece soundboard and a transcendent audience that will be second to none. Actually, this is the same recording as "ULCER ATTACK", which was previously very popular. The sound was astounding, and I was surprised and wondered, "What's this?!" and "Are they going to end it only on the weekend?" After that, I kept hearing rumors about it, and I received many inquiries asking, "Are you no longer selling it?" This work is not a direct press of the best recording. Actually, the gift album “ULCER ATTACK” had only one drawback. That is the momentary sound loss that occurs at the beginning of "Cry For The Nations." Although the overall quality is completely press-grade, this moment is frustrating... I tried patching this part with another recording or another performance, but the main recording is so wonderful that I can't help but be curious about it. However, very recently an upgraded version of the same recording has appeared. Surprisingly, there is no missing sound, which was the only drawback! He was a master at smoothly penetrating in one go. In this way, the famous recording was sealed away. That is what this work is. It may not be necessary to comment on the sound after what I have said so far, but the sound of this work is so wonderful that I can't say enough about it. As soon as the playback started, there was a tremendous rumbling sound and screaming, and the excitement was so great that I thought, ``Is this a riot?'' But as soon as the person recording the recorder took out the recorder, the atmosphere and the scene of the venue sparkled with crystal clear light. spread. The vividness of “Ulcer” cuts through it! I don't know the recording position, but it seems like I can see Michael Schenker's figure reflecting the spotlight dazzlingly in front of me. The sound board “GOD RETURNS DEFINITIVE MASTER” was also wonderful, but this “sound sight” is impossible for line recording. It is full of persuasive power that only the best audience can have. And, the tone of Gibson V that flows from this work is sweet and sad all the way, and each picking and the shaking of the bending are detailed. It shines straight through the transparent atmosphere, making it sound even more beautiful as it absorbs the faint sound of the venue. This feeling of flight and freedom. Michael Schenker is a person who really suits audience recording. And Gary Burden, who is invited by Gibson to appear, is also wonderful. During his first performance in Japan in 1981, he had the reputation of not being able to sing the melodies he wrote himself, but in this work his voice improves as if he were a different person. Although she hasn't transformed into a super vocalist in two years, she sings original melodies with a richer tone than her studio albums. In addition, in this work, they also try "Rock You To The Ground" and "Desert Song" from "Apocalypse". Of course, it doesn't surpass Graham's original, but even in the last minute, you can hear his unique intonation (!), and you can hear the passionate singing voice of Mochi, who is trying his best as a professional. Furthermore, the ensemble with Chris Glenn & Ted McKenna's rhythm section and Andy Nye, who came to Japan at MICHAEL SCHENKER FES, is also impenetrable. In particular, Ted's drumming is not as flashy as Cozy Powell, but it actually highlights the basics of "Flying V is the main character!" In any case, even during the golden era, the band was constantly changing members, but I think these five members were the most basic and embodied the "brilliance of M.S.G.". The live performance of this work seems to show even the band's sense of fulfillment. You can listen to a wonderful live performance that combines beautiful melodies and powerful beats throughout the entire album, and you can feel the joyful mood in every part of it. One example is "Doctor Doctor." The Japanese audience, who love M.S.G. the most in the world, gave a furious chorus of ``Doctor, doctor, pleaaaase!!'', but Burden seemed to be getting excited about this, and got into a groove. I can't help but sing, "It's only just a moment, uh, fufufufufu♪" with excitement. Michael suddenly lost track of the phrase, as if it was a speech bubble. I'll get it back soon, but even the atmosphere in a scene like this is oddly fun. Even though it's a mistake, it's not dangerous or thrilling, and it's a live album that brings out the smiles on the members' faces. M.S.G. in 1983 was at the height of its popularity and was different from "ONE NIGHT AT BUDOKAN" or "ROCK WILL NEVER DIE." Even the katakana call "Encore! Encore!" warms my heart. (This night's "Rock Bottom" is a 15 minute (!) long performance!) It is a superb audience recording that blows out the hot atmosphere of the scene from the speakers. It is of the highest quality, with plenty of hot experiences that can never be captured on a soundboard table. One of the "Best Audience Performances in Japan in 1983" without any questions asked.
