Scorpions,Ozzy Osbourne,Def Leppard/Sweden 1986

The Swedish version of "Monsters of Rock" held in Stockholm, Sweden on August 23, 1986 is finally available as a first-class audience recording using the original master! You can enjoy to your heart's content the passionate live performance of SCORPIONS, Ozzy, and DEF LEPPARD at the height of the heavy metal boom with the finest sound! In 1986, heavy metal became a worldwide boom and took the music scene by storm. The ``Monsters of Rock'' festival reflects the times, and in addition to the UK edition held in Donington on August 16th, the German edition is also known to have been held in Mannheim and other places. For the former, "MONSTERS OF ROCK 1986" existed as the definitive version, and for the latter, fans were able to enjoy "MONSTERS OF ROCK IN GERMANY 1986", which shocked fans, and in both cases it was possible to experience the live performance in real life. . This time, the third "Monsters of Rock" of 1986, following the UK and Germany, will appear! The recording of the event held in Sweden in Stockholm on August 23rd has been made into a recording from the original master provided by Taper himself! This work features the live performances of the three major bands that attracted attention on the day, including SCORPIONS who are the main stars of the European version, semi-headliner OZZY OSBOURNE, and DEF LEPPARD who made a dramatic comeback, and the ease of listening to the performances and the outdoor festival. It has been compiled into 4 discs with a sound that is both unique and vivid. The large volume of about 230 minutes in total is sure to knock out all heavy metal fans! Disc 1 contains the DEF LEPPARD stage for about 60 minutes. As all fans know, 1986 was a special year for DEF LEPPARD, as drummer Rick Allen made a miraculous comeback after an accident. As you can hear in the UK event recorded on "MONSTERS OF ROCK 1986", they put on an energetic performance from the opening "Stagefright" and "Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)". As exemplified by the powerful "Another Hit And Run," Joe Elliott's unique vocals are lively, and Rick Allen's playing, which has finally regained his senses after a few performances, shows that the accident was a lie. It's as impressive as it is! The set list already featured "Love And Affection" from "HYSTERIA" released the following year in 1987, and together with the big hits "Photograph" and "Rock Of Ages", they put together a wonderful live performance. From "Wasted" to "Travellin' Band," the one-hour rush is a series of famous scenes that fans will definitely not want to miss! Disc 2 features OZZY OSBOURNE, who has finally increased his presence as the "king of heavy metal" with the hit of "THE ULTIMATE SIN"! The intense live performance will be enjoyed by all listeners for 80 minutes, filling the disc capacity to the limit. Ozzy appeared as a headliner at the event in England and was making his way to his home country. Although they gave up the main position to SCORPIONS on stages in continental Europe such as Germany and Sweden, they were the main players in the live performance from the opening song "Carmina Burana"! He generously plays famous songs such as ``Bark At The Moon'', ``Suicide Solution'', and ``Mr. Crowley'', and the performance is truly magnificent, worthy of the name of the emperor. The sound quality is also easier to listen to than on Disc 1, and not only Ozzy's vocals, but also Jake E. Lee's guitar and Randy Castillo's drums stand out with sharp outlines and a solid sense of separation, and the performance is also clear. You can grasp it. In the hit song "Shot In The Dark", the audience's clapping creates the best sense of realism, dramatically creating a live listening area. In contrast, in the delicate intro of "Killer Of Giants", everyone seems to be listening to the performance, and the listener can enjoy the band's musical tone without disturbing it. The then new album "THE ULTIMATE SIN" featured other memorable songs such as "Never Know Why", "Thank God For The Bomb", and "Secret Loser", and along with Jake's sharp guitar, it took a flashy direction. You can fully enjoy the sound of '86. Ozzy Live during this period has released many excellent items recently. I declare that this sound source is one of those that deserves special mention! And on discs 3 and 4, SCORPIONS will appear as the headliner of the European version of "Monsters of Rock"! This live show in Sweden used to have incomplete one-piece items, but in this work, of course, it is a complete recording version of another master. The sound quality also far exceeds previous releases, and it can be said to be the definitive version of the same day sound source without complaint. Starting with the opening song "Coming Home," the band will give a big performance that seems to be the main event of the festival. The set list, which covers representative songs from the 1980s onwards, is a perfect listen, with songs like "Blackout," "Bad Boys Running Wild," and "Loving You Sunday Morning." The selections are mainly from the masterpiece "LOVE AT FIRST STING", such as the familiar "Big City Nights" and "Still Loving You", but "Holiday", which was not featured at Donington in the UK, is a must-see only at the European event. . At the time, SCORPIONS was working on their next work, "SAVAGE AMUSEMENT." It is a big point that “Rock My Car”, which was born in that session, is featured in a form that includes a drum solo. As a result, this song was not included in the album and was only performed during this period, making it a valuable and rare number. Along with the new songs, the live highlight was the 70's medley of "In Trance", "We'll Burn The Sky", "He's A Woman, She's A Man", and "Steamrock Fever" played during the encore! This must have been a big surprise for the fans at the venue, as not many songs from the Uli Jon Roth era were played after Matthias Japs joined the band. Furthermore, at the end, "The Zoo" and "Can't Get Enough", which are very popular in Europe, are played in succession, bringing the festival to a dramatic close! In 1986, when many rock bands were competing with each other, bands from Europe and the UK were putting on great performances, both on albums and live, to compete with the powerful American band. This 1986 "Monsters of Rock" is a fine stage show that shows off their determination and pride. Along with ``MONSTERS OF ROCK 1986'', which was released for a limited time a few years ago and received high acclaim, this work from Europe is also a must-listen that all heavy metal fans cannot miss!
