What is engraved in this work is the "June 23, 1981: Asakusa International Theater" performance. This is the best audience recording. In the explanation of "ASAKUSA 1981 2ND NIGHT", we introduced the schedule for coming to Japan, so let's expand our view to the entire world tour and check the position. ["COME AN' GET IT" released on April 11th] ・April 14th - June 9th: Europe #1 (30 performances) ・June 22nd - 30th: Japan (8 performances) ←★Here★・July 5th-29th + August 15th: North America (11 performances) ・August 22nd-27th: UK (3 performances) [Production of “SAINTS & SINNERS” starts on October 5th] ・December 1st -12th: Europe #2 (10 performances) This is WHITESNAKE in 1981. In addition to this, Bernie Marsden and Jon Lord's solo activities are also involved, but here I have limited it to the schedule of the White Snake itself for easy understanding. After the release of the album, they toured Europe, their main battlefield, and planned to invade the United States in the summer. The Japan Tour was set up just before the North American leg. In other words, the Japan performance in 1981 was to gain a lot of practice in Europe, which had a large number of votes, and to gain momentum for the invasion of the United States. It was the "step" of hop, step, jump. Originally, the North American leg of "Jump" was supposed to be the highest, but here it was a joint tour with two heavy metal groups, JUDAS PRIEST & IRON MAIDEN. The rich blues rock was clearly a mismatch, and since it was an opening act, it had a short time, so instead of showing its true potential, it ended up being cut short in the middle of the tour. In any case, as a result, the performance in Japan, which was a solo full show and was fulfilling both physically and mentally, was the pinnacle. The introduction has become long, but what is engraved in this work is the first day of such a Japan tour. This is a masterpiece that was directly digitized from the original cassette of the famous recording artist "Miracle Man" who was once all the rage, and the sound is super clear. Although it was a show for which several types of recordings were already known, it became the “King of the first day”, beating out the existing groups. As mentioned in the explanation of the main part, although it yields a step to "ASAKUSA 1981 2ND NIGHT" in terms of core strength, this work is better in terms of the clear atmosphere and crisp outline of the performance sound. The ensemble is captured three-dimensionally because even the “gap” of each instrument stands out clearly, and you can fully enjoy the subtleties of the forward-looking performance typical of the first day. The show drawn with that sound is truly the essence of British blues rock. I omitted the set analysis in the explanation of the main story "ASAKUSA 1981 2ND NIGHT", so I will mention it here. WHITESNAKE・Snakebite: Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City/Come On・Trouble: Belgian Tom's Hat Trick (★)・Love Hunter: Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues/Love Hunter・Fool For Your・Loving: Sweet Talker/Ready an' Willing/Fool For Your Loving・Come and Get It: Don't Break My Heart Again (★)/Till The Day I Die (★★)/Would I Lie To You ( ★★) / Wine, Women an' Song (★) Others ・DEEP PURPLE: Mistreated/Soldier Of Fortune (★) ・Others: Thank You Osaka (★) *Note: "★" indicates the official version "LIVE... A song that cannot be heard on “IN THE HEART OF THE CITY/LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH”. In particular, songs marked with “★★” are exclusive to this tour. ...and it looks like this. In contrast to "ASAKUSA 1981 2ND NIGHT," which acts as a soundboard with a powerful and thick feel, this work is dazzling with its clearness and vivid details. Although the tastes are completely different, it is a super luxurious set that allows you to enjoy "2 days in Asakusa" with the best sounds from both days.
