From the Japan tour in April 1998, which was UFO's second visit to Japan since 1994, in the 1990s when Michael Schenker returned, even traders knew nothing about the IMP Hall performance in Osaka. This is an excellent audience source based on the original DAT master that has not been released. There are few satisfactory sound sources of UFO's 1998 visit to Japan, so this work will definitely become a must-have and must-listen for fans, both in terms of materials and entertainment! Michael's return to UFO, which was realized in December 1993, was due to the success of the Japan tour in June 1994, which was reminiscent of the famous live show "STRANGER IN THE NIGHT," and the release of the full-length album "WALK ON WATER" in 1995. ” was announced, much to the delight of Michael and UFO fans. However, the relationship between Michael and Phil Mogg deepened again over time, and Michael left the band during the '95 tour. Michael restarted M.S.G. and went on a "Story Live" tour in conjunction with the release of "WRITTEN IN THE SAND," while the band Michael left could not call itself the UFO name, and was renamed "MOGG/WAY" with George Bellas. I have decided to become active. Fans who were happy with UFO up until 1995 were disappointed, wondering if they would ever be able to see Michael play UFO again, but at the end of 1997, Michael and Phil became close again, and suddenly UFO activities will be resumed. They toured Europe vigorously from November 1997 to February 1998 to show that they were still alive, and in April they performed in Japan for the first time in four years. This sound source records the Osaka performance on April 21st, which is the first day, with the audience master appearing for the first time. At the opening, the applause and cheers echo throughout the venue, giving the listener a wonderful sense of realism and anticipation for the live performance. The sound has a mellow edge that doesn't burden the listener while having ample visibility, high-pitched sound, and deep bass power, making it ideal for listening to a number of UFO classics starting with "Natural Thing" and "Mother Mary." It's a perfect balance of ease and power that will keep you entertained. Phil's singing has a slightly stiff impression at the beginning, but it gradually relaxes in response to the positive audience reaction. ``Electric Phase'', which is a feature of the 1998 tour, received a big cheer for the famous song ``Out In The Street'' where Michael's guitar is clear, and it has become a listening spot even during live performances. The three songs from "WALK ON WATER," which was performed for the first time in Japan, "Self Made Man," "Venus," and "Pushed To The Limit" are as powerful as their past masterpieces, making them a natural addition to the set list. It blends into. In particular, the mellow and dark "Venus" and the speedy "Pushed To The Limit", which Michael also featured on M.S.G., will definitely enjoy the goodness of '90s UFO. The lyrical drama of “Love To Love” that excites the middle of the live performance is the best. Disc 2 is a parade of famous songs that should be called ``This is UFO!''. During "Only You Can Rock Me" and "Lights Out," the audience around the taper joins together and sings with the fill, allowing you to enjoy a passionate performance where the stage and audience become one. Even the familiar "Doctor Doctor" and "Rock Bottom" have a different flavor to the combination of Phil and Michael than the same songs you can hear on M.S.G. In particular, "Rock Bottom" is a passionate performance that lasts over 10 minutes, and the solo part that contrasts the delicate tone in the middle with the dynamic play is truly worth listening to! At the Nakano Sunplaza performance in Tokyo, which took place three days after this Osaka performance, an incident occurred during the performance in which Michael became confused and abandoned the stage, but it was impossible to imagine that something like that was waiting for him on this day. You can enjoy a neat stage. The visit to Japan at this time was not well received by fans due to the above-mentioned events, but if you listen to the original sound source, you will understand that the performance of the live performance was rather above the standard. There is a possibility that Michael himself was actually on the edge of his seat on this day. However, that "threshold danger" may actually make Michael's guitar stand out and make the performance that can be heard on the original sound source thrilling.
