A new excavated live album that renews the highest peak of “true flying legend” is now available! Speaking of "Flying Legend," of course there is the official masterpiece "ONE NIGHT AT BUDOKAN." This is the audience album of the “August 12, 1981: Nippon Budokan” performance on the first day of the first performance in Japan. This performance is worthy of the name "legendary" and has been passed down through various records. Official editions of ``Hishou Densetsu'' and ``Hisho Densetsu Complete Edition'', FM programs by a certain public broadcaster, and even numerous audience recordings... At our store, we have introduced a number of live albums that have directly breathed the atmosphere of the "legendary" scene. This is a good opportunity, so let's take a look back. ・2CD "BUDOKAN 1981 AUDIENCE MASTER" ・4CD "TALES OF 1981" ・2CD "PRAISING GOD" ・2CD "CRY FOR THE BUDOKAN" ・2CD "LIVE INTO THE ARENA" What do you think? All of these are different audience recordings, and all are masterpiece recordings. However, this work is a completely different new excavation album that is different from any of them. And, it is not just a new discovery, but an audience recording with the best sound that completely surpasses all of the above! The best sound so far is “LIVE INTO THE ARENA” recorded by Miracle Man, but this work has surpassed even that “miracle man”. The person who made such a super recording was actually the famous Kinney. What was discovered this time is Kinney's original cassette. That sound is exactly what Kinney Magic is all about. It seems that the recording position was "South Stand G row", but the musical tone is crystal clear and brilliant! Of course, a live performance that includes FM broadcasts and official albums does not require a sound that sounds like a soundboard, but its direct feeling and sharpness of edge are comparable to line recording. On top of that, what is wonderful is the subtle sound of Nippon Budokan. This thinly wraps the core of the sharp musical tone, doubling the beauty of the "ringing" sound. Particularly amazing is Cozy Powell's powerful drumming. There was no sense of distance between the seats in the stands, and the ball hit with a bang. A powerful hitting sound that has been described as ``like hitting a drum.'' Not only M.S.G., but has there ever been an audience recording where Cozy's drums were recorded so intensely and beautifully? The “true flying legend” depicted with such a superb Kinney sound is also amazing. This is a concert that has become a "legendary" in many ways, and both its good and bad aspects will be reproduced in a super clear manner. At that time, M.S.G. had just finished producing "Mythology" and there was a complete lack of rehearsals. Although they performed once at the Pink Pop Festival in the Netherlands in June, it has been over half a year since their last tour, so they haven't really gotten a feel for it. On top of that, this day was our first stage in Japan due to the huge time difference, and suddenly we were on the Budokan Music Grand Stage. Furthermore, radio broadcasts and live recordings have begun, and the repertoire of the new work ``Mythology'' is being performed for the first time, and Koji's health is in the worst possible condition... If one or two factors were involved, it might work in the opposite direction and create a sense of tension and excitement, resulting in a great performance, but this time I was too greedy, or should I say I was too adventurous. It was a concert that was meant to be a flop. In fact, the repertoire for ``Kami (Return of the Flying Arrow)'' is (in its own way) well organized, but ``Mythology'' was quite difficult. In the intro of ``The Nations,'' the guitar's off-kilter feedback sounds.In ``Attack Of The Mad Axeman,'' Michael hits a wrong tone, and at the 2-minute mark, Paul Raymond makes a flamboyant mistake in the keyboard chord. "But I Want More" and "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" are solid performances that sound like rehearsals.The ending of the final song "Are You Ready To Rock" doesn't fit together at all, and it's a bit of a bootleg song. People used to ask, ``Which part did Gary Burden sing live?'' but we can't blame Burden alone.As such, it's hard to call it a masterpiece. However, the interesting thing about rock music is that it doesn't turn out to be a ``bad live'' performance. Above all, the energy of the audience was amazing, far beyond any mistake. , the Nippon Budokan is intoxicated by the lustrous Flying V sound, and the band, who are confused but cannot contain their joy at the huge reception they receive in Asia for the first time (other than Cozy), are included in this work. It is beautifully recorded.The scale of the packed house, which broke the attendance record for Nippon Budokan at the time, is fully captured, and even the clapping of each person's hands is clearly recorded. However, the huge applause that reached over 10,000 people was like an autumn rain.Moreover, the Japanese audience, who are known for their precision, were the ones responsible for the clapping. The details of the scene resonate with the realism of the touch...a magical time and atmosphere that cannot be conveyed on official discs or FM broadcasts. This work is packed with bread. Kinney's original cassette had tape change cuts in "On And On" and "Doctor Doctor", but this work is supplemented with the runner-up "LIVE INTO THE ARENA". The result is a completely seamless document. The first performance at Nippon Budokan in Japan has been passed down in many legends. There have been many audience recordings up until now, but the time has finally come to speak with the same level of quality as official works and FM broadcasts. A documentary album vacuum-packed with Kinney Magic that conveys the "truth of live performances" that cannot be conveyed through the official version as a "work" or FM broadcast as a "record" of a live performance. Those who have experienced the experience have been talking about the "greatness of the scene" that could not be understood from just the performance.
