An ultra-high-quality audience recording of the live performance at Morinomiya Piloti Hall in Osaka, the first day of the Japan tour by the instrumental project Portnoy Sheen MacApine Sherinian, from the original master that is not available on the internet or even among traders. Completely recorded. (The recording person is Taper, who recorded that Asia performance in Nagoya (LIVING A LEGACY) with miraculous ultra-high sound quality. This time, it was also recorded with unbelievable ultra-high sound quality.) The members are former members of DREAM THEATER. Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan of MR.BIG, who appeared during the fast-playing boom of the 1980s, was called the black Yngwie, and worked in M.A.R.S. with Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge, and RING OF FIRE with Mark Boles. Derek Sherinian is known for his work with the talented Tony McAlpine, Alice Cooper, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, DREAM THEATER, and in recent years BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION with Glenn Hughes. It can be said that this is a dream project with members who have the highest level of technology in the modern metal world. In the first place, this project was formed in January 2012 for a live performance at NAMM SHOW, the largest musical instrument show in the United States. Before this live show, Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan formed a band called BAD APPLE with John Sykes. However, the hopes of the fans were in vain, and due to differences of opinion between the members, John Sykes left the group and it ended in a phantom situation, but Mike and Billy continued their relationship, and Derek and Tony, who had a kindred spirit, joined the group. was. The live performance in January was well-received, and the band expanded into a world tour, touring Europe and Asia starting in October, and this live performance in Japan was part of that tour. At our live show in January, we covered our own songs as well as famous rock and fusion instrumental songs by Jeff Beck and Billy Cobham, but this live show expanded on that. While the soundtrack of the movie Scarface was playing as the opening SE, the song began with a medley from DREAM THEATER's big song A Change of Seasons to LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT's Acid Rain. All of a sudden, you will hear a spectacular play in which each member demonstrated their abilities. Since there is no vocalist, this is an instrumental arrangement, but the approach of developing DREAM THEATER's difficult, complex, and perfectly constructed songs by adding jams in the middle is very interesting. Billy Sheehan's improvisational play there is amazing. DREAM THEATER's Omagari Lines in the Sand, which was played at the end of the main story, uses a similar approach. The Stranger from Tony McAlpine's 1986 masterpiece "Edge of Insanity" played in the third song. Billy's bass part on the album was reproduced live, to the delight of longtime fans. After that, each performer will perform their own famous instrumental pieces, more complex and difficult to understand than the original, with an incredible number of moves, steps, and notes. The play of the powerful rhythm section that fills in any gaps where Billy and Mike feel like they are the protagonists is captivating to the ears everywhere. I think Mike was the core of DREAM THEATER, and I can't help but wish that the band with John Sykes would continue as it is. For the encore, Billy and Mike performed the famous song Shy Boy, which was also performed by TALAS and David Lee Roth, with twin vocals. In the middle part, Billy, Derek, and Tony perform amazing solos in that order, and the group welcomes a large circle with great excitement. This time, the recording position was the middle of the second row on the first floor, and the sound was convincing.The sound coming from the PA and the live sound were mixed, resulting in a direct and vivid sound. In Billy's bass solo, the bass is so vivid that it even picks up the sound that resonates on the skin of the drum that was installed next to the bass amp. The separation of each instrument is also perfect. The next day's Tokyo performance was scheduled to be filmed for DVD release, and this is a must-have for fans, capturing the approximately 100-minute live performance in Osaka, which can be called a prelude to the performance, in ultra-high-quality sound. A spectacular performance that anyone who likes technical rock can 100% enjoy. Live at Morinomiya Piloti Hall, Osaka, Japan 13th November 2012 ULTIMATE SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 (58:25) 1.
