Queen/London,UK 1976 2 Source Ver. & more

The free concert ``September 18, 1976: Hyde Park Performance'' is said to have attracted 150,000 people (as many as 200,000 people, depending on the source). Introducing a 3-disc set that compiles the legendary show with the supreme master. This show is the result of the huge success that ``A Night at the Opera'' brought. Both the album and single reached number one in the UK, and they were voted best album, best single, and best band in the SOUNDS magazine readers' poll. They became the UK's No. 1 band, with no pushback. A major event planned with Richard Branson, the founder of VIRGIN Records, to express gratitude to the fans who supported its success. He appeared as the main act while he was already in production for his next film, ``Brilliant Lace.'' This work is a comprehensive review of the best records of such historical shows. Overseas QUEEN researchers supervised everything from master appraisal to mastering finish, making it a 3-disc set of the highest quality ever. First of all, let's organize the structure of this work. ・Disc 1: Soundboard Album ・Disc 2: Odins Album ・Disc 3: Pro Shot DVD [Disc 1: Highest Peak Soundboard Album] The first thing that appears is the soundboard album of the day. This show was scheduled to be completely broadcast on television in 1977, and the whole thing was officially filmed. However, the broadcast did not actually materialize, and only the professional shot video and sound board sound source were leaked. That sound board has been a standard for a long time, but this work is its highest peak. Although it can't be said to be official level just because it was leaked, it surpasses many previous releases. Even though the sound of the existing group had a tremendous direct feel, the details were somehow muffled and bouncy. The master of this work does not have that bouncy feeling, and the outline of the sound is clear. A vivid sound that seems to reach every corner with the robustness that penetrates the core spreads, and the noise that was occasionally heard in previous releases is also minimal. This quality was achieved through the deep research of the supervised enthusiasts. He has previously worked on press masterpieces such as "INVITE YOU TO A NIGHT AT THE BUDOKAN" and "THE ROYAL AMERICAN TOUR 1975", and both of those works showed a deep knowledge of sound sources, but this work also Moreover, it is the exquisite quality that can only be achieved because of a reliable eye for selection. Moreover, this work is not only the best in sound. In fact, it is also the longest live album that utilizes other existing sound sources. The part before the performance of the highest peak master was a little short, and there was also a gap at the beginning of "Keep Yourself Alive". In this work, the opening part is extended with another sound board, and the less than 30 seconds between songs and the beginning of "Keep Yourself Alive" are supplemented with audience recording. This work is also done by the researchers themselves. Again, the master selection and exquisite editing create a wonderful finish. [Disc 2: Audience Recording] Next comes the finest audience recording. The legendary LP "FREE IN THE PARK (Marc Records ZAP 7960)" was digitized using the latest high-end equipment. This master selection and digitization were also done by the same researcher as Disc 1. It is a business that the audience on the day cannot hope for any more. Since it is an LP version, it is an incomplete version with four songs "Ogre Battle", "White Queen (As It Began)", "Flick Of The Wrist", and "Keep Yourself Alive" cut out from the original version, but the sound is Exquisite. Since it was outdoors, the clarity with zero echoes was amazing, and the crisp performances and singing voices came straight to us. As expected, it does not have a very thick feeling like Disc 1 of the real sound board, but it is not inferior at all in terms of clarity. Even more than its beauty is the legendary on-site feel. The new hero QUEEN performed, and the mood at the forefront of Britain's pride was amazing. The scale of the event is said to be between 150,000 and 200,000, so large that one out of every two Shinjuku residents would gather. He loves just four people and is captivated by their music. Rather than just an empty frenzy, it's a festival atmosphere of a huge community. Rather than exploding with loud cheers, they chant as they feel like it, match the (slightly strange) rhythm, and give applause. You can completely immerse your whole body in the spectacle of a free and open space that is completely different from the usual concerts and festivals. Of course, it is wonderful to perform passionately in front of such a large crowd. It was the first time for them to do such a huge show, but Freddie was a natural star and was in full swing, rather than being intimidated by the crowd. ``Everyone, sing!'' they shouted, bringing out a huge chorus of the huge hit ``Bohemian Rhapsody,'' and ``You Take My Breath Away'' also hit a high-pitched high note. "You Take My Breath Away" is played as a preview of the yet to be seen new work "Splendid Lace", "You're My Best Friend" is played as a medley before "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "Ogre" which is unique to this period. "Battle", "Sweet Lady", "White Queen", "Flick Of The Wrist", "Bring Back That Leroy Brown", "'39" etc... “The Prophet’s Song” where you can’t hear the echo in the middle part has also become a hot topic, but including that, you can enjoy plenty of QUEEN that can only be found here at this time. [Disc 3: Pro-shot DVD] The last part is a video edition where you can witness the scene at the scene with multi-camera pro-shot. As mentioned above, the footage of this day was originally shot for broadcast, and some of it is actually used in the official clip of "Somebody To Love" and the "MAGIC YEARS VOLUME TWO" DVD. This work is a complete version of such professional shots. The time code is also a raw outflow master. This leaked professional shot has been known for its poor quality since the VHS era, but this work is the highest version without the "QTV" logo. Although it cannot be called "official grade", the visual beauty is incomparable to the previous releases, and the screen is glossy with almost no noise or distortion, and the vivid colors are just as they were at the time. The visual is beautiful, with a long-haired Freddie running around the stage in white tights. And the sound. In fact, the source of Disc 1 is the sound of this professional shot master, and the highest peak sound ever colors the multi-camera scene. The original master owned by the BBC has already been lost, and there will probably never be a master that surpasses this work again. In addition to such supreme professional shots, this work also includes three valuable bonus videos. The first is an outtake from a professional shot, showing an aerial shot of a large crowd gathered at the scene and a sea of ​​people as far as the eye can see. The atmosphere is filled with the atmosphere of a free concert where you can walk through the forest, climb trees, and enjoy yourself as much as you like on a hike. And the stage that looks small beyond the crowd. You will be overwhelmed by the reality that unlike today, there were no giant screens, and 150,000 people, each smaller than a grain of rice, were enthusiastic about it. The remaining two types are outtakes from live footage. “Sweet Lady” was recorded on 16mm film and “Keep Yourself Alive” was a one-camera version. In particular, "Keep Yourself Alive" is an exquisite masterpiece with an overwhelmingly beautiful image quality that exceeds even the main story. From an up-and-coming youth band to the pride of Britain. A sound board version that allows you to closely follow QUEEN as she quickly climbed the ladder of success, and an audience version that allows you to witness the scene. And the highest quality version ever of traditional professional shots. This is a 3-disc set that allows you to enjoy the legendary stage with all kinds of materials.
