This is a detailed reprint of the Japanese version DVD (out of print), which is the pinnacle of the traditional official video "LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA." This work includes the official video “LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA”. This is a multi-camera pro shot of the “Philadelphia performance on June 21, 1979”, which is after the 6th performance of the main press 2CD. This video is a super classic that has been widely loved since the video era. Many of you may have been familiar with it for many years. The Japanese version DVD is the highest quality version, but it is not only that. When it was released on official DVD in 2004, the content was significantly different from the VHS/laserdisc version. There's no point in pandering to the genuine "official quality", so let's explain the differences from the analog era. [Suddenly a completely different opening scene] You might think, ``Even if I say it's different, it's just a little different,'' but it's outrageous. It's true that the songs and performance are the same, but everything else is completely different. What makes them different is that they are so different that no two parts are the same. After all, when you play it back, a different scene suddenly appears. The original VHS/LD version started with a historical narration. In the DVD version, the members enter while the opening BGM is blaring. The five performers were introduced through slide photos and the performance began. It's a so-called normal live video style. Then, when the show started, I was even more surprised! The video is completely different!! Of course, the show and filming itself are the same, but it seems that they have been re-edited from scratch when converting it to DVD, so the cuts used are clearly different. Moreover, the difference is not overwhelming. Normally, when I say, ``I can see a different angle,'' I feel like I'm looking for mistakes, thinking, ``Oh, isn't this a different angle?'' But with this work, I was looking in the opposite direction, thinking, ``Is there the same scene?'' Whether it's the original LD version or the DVD version, it's so fresh that people who are familiar with one won't believe it's the same show. Moreover, not only do they use different cuts, but their editorial policies are also different. To put it simply, ``LD version = emphasis on stage'' and ``DVD version = emphasis on close-ups.'' The original edited version of VHS/LD probably wanted to show off the spectacle of the 360-degree rotating stage, which was a hot topic at the time, and included a lot of panoramic views, as well as scenes where the members were facing their backs as a result of the rotation. On the other hand, the DVD version focuses on zooming in on the members. Although there are limitations as they are not re-shooting, scenes where their backs are turned are avoided as much as possible, and there are plenty of scenes that involve hands, facial expressions, and the members interacting with each other. In other words, the cuts are close to modern sensibilities. [Sound, song order, Japanese subtitles... nothing is the same] Up to this point, you could say that they are different works, but there are still many points of difference. The easiest way to understand is the order of the songs. “Starship Trooper,” “Drum Solo,” and “Leaves of Green” in the middle have been dramatically replaced. Even the sound is different. It's not just the level of sound quality either. The LD version has a sound that is directly connected to a sound board, but the DVD version has a different mastering. The high tones of the guitar are emphasized, and the vocals are echo-treated. In John's singing "Leaves Of Green", a strange echo is applied flashy, as if it were an audience recording. Furthermore, subtitles unique to the Japanese version. This also seems to be translated separately for the LD version and DVD version, so it seems as if the content is different even though it is the same MC. As an example, let's write out the song introduction MC for "Circus Of Heaven". Thank you very much for the LD version. The next song is a story. I want you to imagine in this darkness what it would be like when the heavenly circus came to town. Thank you for the DVD version. I want you to listen to the next song like this. The location is just around here, on the stage. I want you to imagine in the darkness above, the image of the day when "Heaven's Circus" came to town... something like this. The LD version was a rough translation, but the DVD version is an accurate Japanese translation of the words. I'm trying to be accurate, so the Japanese is a little confusing. The LD version also introduces "Starship Trooper" at length, but the DVD version only includes the song title. Furthermore, in the DVD version, John's first person is often translated as ``me,'' or ``let's have fun,'' which gives a slightly different image. It's hard to choose one over the other on various points, but the LD version seems to be better when it comes to Japanese subtitles. In this way, "LIVE IN PHILADELPHIA" has been completely reborn as a DVD. This is a perfect reprint of the highest quality version, which is now out of print. It is a video work that allows you to enjoy the "TEN TRUE SUMMERS Tour" with the best visual beauty in history, and at the same time, it is a masterpiece that is so refreshing that those who are familiar with the VHS version / LD version will not believe that it is the same live performance (LD version and DVD version) If you would like to compare, we recommend "PHILADELPHIA 1979: COLLECTOR'S EDITION").
