The masterpiece of “HOT SPACE TOUR 1982” where you can listen to the extremely rare “Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)” with the best sound is now available. This work is an audience recording containing the "August 13, 1982 Hoffman Estates Performance". Anyway, great sound, passionate performance, extremely rare songs...this is one of the best products that has everything you need for a music album. The biggest point of this work is that you can listen to the extremely valuable “Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)”. A famous ballad included in "HOT SPACE", and as the title suggests, it is a famous song dedicated to John Lennon, whom Freddie Mercury admired. Many people may not even know that this song was performed live. In fact, although it is a masterpiece with a beautiful melody, it has been performed surprisingly few times. It has only been performed a few times throughout its entire career, and this day is its last performance. There are only two remaining sound sources, the Hoffman Estates performance of this work and the New Jersey performance, and it is a very rare performance among the very rare. It is the nature of collectors to think, ``If it's so rare, then it's going to make a roaring sound...'', but this work has a wonderful sound that overturns such preconceptions. Of course, it's an audience recording from the early 1980s, so it's not exactly like a soundboard, but the core is thick and the musical tone that stretches straight is on par with line recording (although the nuances of the sound are different). There is no distortion or noise, Brian May's guitar is vivid down to the sharpness of each cut, and John Deacon's "undulation" is also clear. Freddie's singing voice is so realistic that you can even feel his breathing. “HOT SPACE TOUR 1982” is roughly divided into three parts: the European leg, the North American leg, and the Japanese tour, and this work is a famous recording that is praised even among core collectors as “the best sound of the North American leg.” That's it. The audience plays a role in that kind of sound. The venue, Poplar Creek Music Theater, is an open space that can accommodate approximately 25,000 people, but the enthusiasm that gathers there warms up the performance and does not get in the way. It's not that I can't hear the cheers. The applause erupts between songs, and the presence of the audience is clearly felt during the performance. However, there are almost no harsh singing or talking voices, which are intense when the song gets excited, and subside when it becomes calm. It synchronizes perfectly with the performance, amplifying the dynamism of the song. It is an ideal enthusiasm for audience recording. And, witnessing the enthusiasm, QUEEN's performance also got into the groove. Freddie's voice is also in great condition and he is free to improvise at the ending of "Action This Day". Along with that “Action This Day”, you can also enjoy “Calling All Girls” and “Body Language” only for this tour with wonderful sound and performance. And then, of course, “Life Is Real (Song for Lennon).” Brian begins by saying, ``This is a song that Freddie wrote for a special person,'' but the performance is so wonderful that it makes you forget even how rare it is. Roger sings the chorus melody, and Freddie harmonizes with it, and the beautiful sound makes your heart tighten... On the contrary, the sound of this work is so wonderful that even such subtleties pervade. It's a rare song that I'm grateful just to be able to listen to, but it has remained with its "beautiful sound." It is a moment that makes you want to thank the taper that recorded this work, QUEEN, and the goddess of recording. Unfortunately, “God Save The Queen” was not recorded in this work, but the last thing to listen to is “We Are The Champions” before that. Freddie plays the piano, and in the first verse he sings, “Bad mistakes, “on this piano,” and immediately follows with “I’ve made a fool.” This work ends with a super masterpiece filled with off-the-cuff humor. One of the most beautiful sounds on tour, great performances, and extremely rare masterpieces...a masterpiece among masterpieces that has it all. This is one of the best recordings that deserves to be called "the masterpiece of HOT SPACE TOUR 1982." A masterpiece that should only be enjoyed by enthusiasts.
