In 1986, ZZ TOP was in the midst of a major boom, with ``AFTERBURNER'' following ``ELIMINATOR'' also becoming a big hit. A live album that allows you to experience the scene at its best is now available. What is infused into this work is “July 7, 1986 New Haven Performance”. This is the best audience recording. Since Dusty Hill's death, there has been an unstoppable wave of reappraisal of ZZ TOP in the collector world. Not only are various new excavated masters appearing, but great recordings from each era are also being reviewed. This work is a masterpiece live album by the 1st Gene Master that appeared in such a flow. Speaking of the ``AFTERBURNER'' era, it is also memorable for us for the miraculous first visit to Japan. First, let's look back at the entire world tour, which was the biggest of his career. 1985, August 15-18: Europe #1 (3 performances)《“AFTERBURNER” released on October 28》》December 2-16: North America #1 (9 performances) 1986, January 30 Sunday - May 5th: North America #2 (72 performances) May 16th - June 28th: North America #3 (28 performances) - July 5th - September 2nd: North America #4 (39 performances) ←★Coco★・September 12th – October 15th: Europe #2 (28 performances)・October 18th – October 23rd: UK (5 performances) 1987・February 17th – 19th: Japan (3 performances) February 25th - March 14th: Oceania (11 performances) March 21st: Honolulu performance This is the huge “AFTERBURNER Tour” which spanned nearly 200 performances. Starting with their appearance on “MONSTERS OF ROCK” before the release of the album, they took a lot of time and performed a lot of performances until they went to Oceania/Hawaii about 2 years later, and trampled the world. Of course, the main battleground is the home country of America. The New Haven performance of this work was the second concert of “Europe #4”, which is in the midst of this. This work, which is a vacuum-packed scene right in the middle of the heyday, is a glorious and superb audience. The best thing about it is its extremely thick core and lustrous sound. It's not a close feeling that you can mistake it for a sound board, but it's not far away. Even though it has the sound of a hall, the strong performance sound and vocals penetrate the atmosphere and come close to your fingertips. Moreover, the freshness of the 1st Gene Master is heart-warming. The beautiful sound extends beautifully without any dubbing marks or distortion. And the sound of the hall is exquisite. Although it is drawn in a little thicker, it does not hide the details and gives the ensemble a sense of dynamism and scale. Moreover, this has a double meaning and is perfect for 80's ZZ TOP. Since it is originally a simple trio formation, each member's performance feels clear and clear, and the small number of notes is compensated for. Moreover, it was a time when synths were being used boldly. The hall sound and delay processing work together harmoniously to create an indescribable ``80s taste.'' What is depicted with such beautiful dynamic sound is a full show where you can enjoy the wind at its peak with your entire body. Speaking of 80's ZZ TOP, the definitive album "HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1983" is very popular. I think this article can serve as a reference for those who pay attention to it, so let's organize the sets while comparing them. LONDON Records era (6 songs), Tres Hombres: Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago/La Grange, Fandango! Heard It on the Under Pressure／Gimme All Your Lovin'／Legs(★)／Sharp Dressed Man・Afterburner: Sleeping Bag(★)／Rough Boy(★)／Can't Stop Rockin'(★)／Velcro Fly(★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” were not heard on “HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1983”. ...and it looks like this. The classics are the same as the "ELIMINATOR Tour", with songs and covers from the Warner era. The style includes new songs from ``AFTERBURNER''. The orchestral hit "Sleeping Bag" and the ballad hit "Rough Boy" are full of the times, but furthermore, "Can't Stop Rockin'", which will be sealed for 24 years, and the genuine song limited to this tour. "Velcro Fly" and other songs were also performed. The real thrill of “This is the AFTERBURNER Tour!” is on full display. ZZ TOP took the world by storm in the 1980s with their synth boogie that stylishly coated an earthy flavor. Although it was a golden age, it was also an extremely unique period. This is a new excavated live album where you can fully experience the ultimate “AFTERBURNER Tour” with the dynamic sound of the 1st generation. The best audience recording of "July 7, 1986 New Haven Performance". The extremely thick core and glossy sound are wonderful, and the strong performance sound and vocals penetrate the atmosphere and approach you right at your fingertips. Moreover, the freshness of the 1st Gene Master is heart-warming. The slightly thicker hall sound does not hide details, creating a sense of dynamism and scale for the ensemble. While making up for the small number of sounds in the trio, the delay processing works harmoniously to create an indescribable ``80s taste.'' Coupled with the precious "Can't Stop Rockin'" and "Velcro Fly," this is a newly discovered live album that reeks of the golden age.
