Ritchie Blackmore made his last visit to Japan as a hard rock guitarist in 1995. The legendary recording that allows you to experience the scene at its finest will be preserved forever. What is engraved in this work is the "November 17, 1995: Nagoya Century Hall" performance. It is a transcendental audience recording. At that time, Ritchie was in the era of rebuilding RAINBOW with Dougie White selected. They shocked the archipelago with a series of great performances that cleared the name of DEEP PURPLE. Our store archives such monument tours with many masterpieces. This is also a good opportunity to organize your collection by date.・November 11th “FLY BY NIGHT (Yoyogi)” ・November 12th “RETURN OF THE BLACK (Yoyogi)” ・November 14th: Kyoto Kaikan Hall 1 ・November 16th “OSAKA 1995 1ST NIGHT (Prefectural・November 17: Nagoya Century Hall ←★This work★ ・November 19: ``TEARS IN BLACK (Festival Hall)'' ・November 20: Kyushu Welfare Pension Hall ・November 22: ``KILLING FLOOR ( Yokohama Buntai)” November 23rd “ELECTRIC EVER (NK Hall)” *Representative recordings only on each day. Above are all 9 performances. This is the first time in the history of Richie's visit to Japan that the Nippon Budokan performance was not held, but it was held at the Yoyogi Olympic Pool of the same size. It was a magnificent tour that visited other famous venues from all over the country. The Nagoya performance of this work was the fifth concert, right in the middle. [The original DAT master of legendary recording has discovered a miracle] This work recorded at such a show is truly the best audience recording with "super". In fact, this is not the first appearance, but a traditional masterpiece recording that has reigned as the pinnacle of Nagoya performances. At our store, we have previously introduced it as "KING OF THE CENTURY", but this work is not a remastered reissue of that work. Excavated by Omoto DAT master after 26 years. This is a top-of-the-line updated version that has been re-released on CD using the latest equipment! As soon as it is played, 2 minutes and 41 seconds of pre-show background music, which has not been heard in previous releases, begins to play. It is clear from this that it is the source, but it is only evidence. The real power is the sound itself that permeates through the whole story. Even the previous edition has been called the ``Best of Nagoya,'' but this may be the ``Best of 1995.'' The extremely thick core with no sense of distance and the direct feeling of a complete sound board have been known for a long time, but this work has even clearer outlines and clearer details. The sound from the hall is so transparent that you can't even notice it even when listening carefully through headphones, and even the silent parts are deep and deep. For example, cymbals. Not only the vividness of the hitting sound, but also the subsequent vibe can be clearly heard, and the vibrations that gradually subside are visible. More base. What's so amazing about this? In the case of rock music, it is often expressed using onomatopoeic sounds such as "bing," "bakibaki," and "bumbun," but in this work, you can clearly see the differences between the three. It's a meaningless expression, but in other words, Greg Smith changes not only the strength and weakness of the phrase, beat, and accent, but also the nuance of the sound, and in this work, these changes are carefully reflected one note at a time. I understand. I'm sorry for the stupid writing style, but the facial expressions such as "Bimbaki Bunbun" and "Bakibaki Binbun" that would normally be missed even on a sound board are frighteningly clear. Please do not misunderstand me here: this is not a bass album with a lot of bass. I was disappointed because the bass sound up to this point is unusual, but this is still an example. The vocals and guitars are naturally vivid, and the total harmony is recorded, making it a frighteningly transcendent sound. [A transcendent live album that will be the “last MADE IN JAPAN”] The sound that surpasses the sound board is a great performance that represents Ritchie’s last “hard rock visit to Japan”. This is also a good opportunity, so let's take a look at the 1995 visit to Japan and organize them into ``fixed songs'' that remained constant, and ``replacement songs'' for added flavor. Fixed songs: Deep Purple: Perfect Strangers/Burn/Ronnie era: Long Live Rock'n'Roll/Temple Of The King/Graham & Joe era: Since You Been Gone/Difficult To Cure/Solitary Stranger: Too Late For Tears ／Hunting Humans (Insatiable)／Wolf To The Moon／Still I'm Sad／ Black Masquerade／Ariel／Hall Of The Mountain King Replacement song ・Deep Purple: Smoke On The Water ・Ronnie era: Man On The Silver Mountain ・Joe Era: Maybe Next Time/Street Of Dreams/Spotlight Kid/Stone Cold・Others: Greensleeves/Waltzing Matilda...and so on. Among the “replacement songs”, “Man On The Silver Mountain”, “Maybe Next Time” and “Street Of Dreams” were only missed for one performance, but the others change quite a lot every day. “Spotlight Kid,” which has a classic image of pole position, was dropped in the last two performances, and “Stone Cold” and “Smoke On The Water” were changed in song order or were a combination of improvised trad songs, etc. The colors of each performance were changed. Among them, the Nagoya performance is a standard selection. The ``replacement songs'' also cover the main ones, and the improvised parts include ``Waltzing Matilda'' and ``Greensleeves'', which are Richie's favorite songs. Although you can't expect to find extremely rare songs like this one, it's a satisfying live album that doesn't leave you feeling regretful, "If only I had that...". 23 years have passed since the DEEP PURPLE legend first came to Japan. This is a live album that allows you to experience the ultimate live in Japan that concludes Richie's hard rock era. A new masterpiece that brings out the amazing sound that Omoto DAT was inhaling. This is truly a piece worthy of being called "the last MADE IN JAPAN." A superb audience recording of the "November 17, 1995: Nagoya Century Hall" performance. A new discovery of the legendary recording master DAT. This is a top-of-the-line updated version that has been re-released on CD using the latest equipment. You can listen to 2 minutes and 41 seconds of pre-show BGM that could not be heard in previous releases, but what is even more shocking is the sound itself. Not only the direct feeling of a complete sound board with zero distance, but also the outline and details are clear and clear. With cymbals, you can tell that the vibrations are gradually subsided, and with bass, it's also clear that the nuances change with each note. You can enjoy the expression of the sound that you would miss even with a sound board with terrifying clarity. This is a transcendent live album worthy of being called the "last MADE IN JAPAN" where you can experience the last Richie of the hard rock era.
