Uli Jon Roth Tokyo Tapes Revisited Live Nakano Sun Plaza Hall. (Japanese Blue Ray with double CD version packaging).

Salam Kepada Semua & Hello Everyone.

TWO THINGS I GOT TO SAY -

1. This is not the PREMIUM JAPANESE RARE VERSION COSTING A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS.
That version had about 6 discs of additional dvd and two more cds of the final night in Osaka I think.
 Plus that version has a Photo Book and other interesting things. But it cost a bomb. No way, I am saving up to try to backpacking alone for Iron Maiden 2017 European Tour. LOL!!

This is the Japanese Blue Ray Triple Disc Version which two of them are cds.
2. This is definitely the best live video and live album of the year.
UNLESS the November release of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow Live dvd is the footage from first night in Loreley, Germany, then that will be the best release, BECAUSE I WAS THERE!!!  LOL!!!!

As usual allow me to talk cock a bit in my Distasteful Horrible Vulgar Market- Style Malay Language and then I will continue on in my similar Broken Disgusting Incorrigible English Language.

Cerita2 Uli Jon Roth kat inlet buku kecil bungkusan ini dalam pembikinan dan rakaman album ni sangat dahsyat.
1. Uli Jon Roth cerita pasal dia tak puas hati bangunan Nakano Sun Plaza nak dirobohkan pasal tu tempat bersejarah dan jugak kenangan dia rakam TOKYO TAPES disana dengan Scorpions.
Jadi dia plan nak rakam video di sana main lagu Scorpions yang kira ni bahagian kedua Scorpions Revisited dia la lepas studio album double cd tu hari.
Abis tu,
Dia tak jumpa anggota band nye yang terlibat dalam kegiatan SCORPIONS REVISITED dia selama berbulan2.
Dan terus janji nak buat tiga show di Jepun dan malam kedua dah janji untuk buat rakaman rasmi DVD/Blue ray dan live album.
Uli Jon Roth cuma dengan gitaris lead kedua dia pasal mereka sama2 dalam band Uli Jon Roth. (Dia ada extra dua lead guitars untuk SCORPION REVISITED) jadi dorang dah macam Iron Maiden pasal Uli Jon Roth cerita lagu2 Scorpions zaman dia dalam kumpulan tu lagi hebat dengan guna tiga guitarists.
2. Uli Jon Roth ingat sempat nak rehearsal, tapi tak sempat langsung masa di Jepun terus beraksi malam pertama di Nagoya.
Heran nya, drummer Scorpions Revisited dia pun tak beraksi malam pertama di Nagoya kerana urusan lain.

tarik nafas kejappp..

3. Jadi bayangkan show kedua di Tokyo baru Uli Jon Roth jumpa drummer dia untuk Scorpions Revisited, dan dia baru jumpa band members dia selepas berapa bulan tanpa rehearsal terus main di Nagoya dan terus malam kedua di Tokyo nak buat rakaman rasmi DVD di Nakano Sun Plaza tempat TOKYO TAPES dirakam 37 TAHUN DAHULU.
4. Tapi memang hebat rakaman ni, cam Uli cerita2 pasal kegunaan tiga gitarist, dan jugak rakaman ni nak abis Fly To The Rainbow, tali string gitar Uli putus, dan semua dirakam dalam video, dan text inlet dalam bungkusan ni Uli cerita apa jadi atas stage.
Aku tengok ok je masa instrumental dia main lagu Tokyo Dream Prelude tapi Uli cerita dia tak dengar apa2 waktu atas pentas tu..
dan jugak banyak solo2, instrumental2, contoh cam lagu Ive Got To Be Free dah jadi macam panjang 10 minit gitu dengan pusing2 jam dan instrumentals..

Memang hebat la segala improvisations dalam live konsert ni dan sound nya.
Tak kesah la korang minat muzik apa jenis pun, kalau korang minat muzik korang mesti teruja tengok dan dengar rakaman2 dari Uli Jon Roth Tokyo Tapes Revisited ni...
Ni album memang untuk music lovers gitu la...

Bahagian In Trance gitu, macam.. sayu sangat.. 
dan untuk sapa minat Scorpions, teringat zaman kecik sampai besar pasal terang2 Scorpions tak lari dari menghiburkan kita semua sejak kecik sampai besar dan masa hadapan.

Aku tak bedek, serious berbual. Beli OK. haha.

5. Semua gitaris dapat solo, dan penyanyi pun tiga orang termasuk Uli Jon Roth.
HEBAT SANGAT LA...

SILA BELI. Ni rakaman video paling unik dengan band takde rehearsal, tak jumpa berbulan, drummer baru join pagi rakaman, dengan apa2 segala masalah atas pentas..

tapi memang paling hebat.. memang betul2 rock abis...

Terngangah tengok video live ni, dan jugak bila aku baik jalan kaki, dalam bas, dalam train, tunggu bas, tunggu train,
aku pasang headphones aku dengar rakaman dua2 cd kat bungkusan ni, memang kagum. Happy sangat.

OK, Sila Beli.

Sila Beli boleh macam2 la maknanya hahaha...

K dahbis cakap Melayu. 

I think the above photo was the moment Uli Jon Roth broke his guitar string near the end of Fly To The Rainbow which according to the text seems giving him lots of problems.

Its amazing all the footages of problems and the No Preparation that Uli face while recording this video was only highlighted in the text of the booklet that accompanies the package, but if you see the video all seems under under control and seems like everything is going so well.

Three lead guitars like Iron Maiden, chances for triple harmonies, lots of songs extensions, improvisations, jams and instrumentals.
Sails Of Charon goes to extended "UNLEDDED Kashmir" territory..
Usage of three vocalists and all the lead vocals including Uli have beautiful voices.
Kojono Tsuki is there somewhere LOL!

After the end of the concert, the credit roll is very classy and emotional. Seems there is a continuation of the instrumental of Rainbow Dream Prelude and Tokyo Dream Prelude called Nagoya Dream Prelude.

Buy this and the studio double cd Scorpions Revisited by Uli Jon Roth (for the maximum enjoyment the Japanese version if you got the money, and the Korean version which has the same amount of songs like the Japanese version but Korean ones are much cheaper, as for this release the European versions is incomplete I had shown this double cd before somewhere in this blog.).

These are the text....  I dont arrange it according to the pages...

p.s

I was wondering if Ritchie Blackmore had used Uli bassist, keyboardist and drummer instead for his 2016 Rainbow version. What will happen. It will be so much more teutonic.

But nevermind. LOL!!
I was wondering all the big noises about Ritchie selection and the style of playing, its Ritchie band he can do what he likes.


OK long live rock n roll..

and this post was make while listening to May Rahsia, and May Hakikat. LOL!!

One of the newer rock bands that I really like...

Hello and Incoming - Uli Jon Roth TOKYO TAPES REVISITED Japanese Edition blue ray deluxe edition with additional 2cds.

Salam semua.

Sebulan dua ni entah memang kurang chance nak buat blog.
Aku masih dapat masuk internet, dalam bas dalam train, malah jalan kaki sekalipun, memang sentiasa main internet pakai tablet la apa la, tapi aku takde chance dapat duduk depan laptop. So maka takde la blog posting. Dan tu pun tak masuk blog korang semua pun seminggu ni... 

Aku tak reti buat blog pakai tablet atau pakai henpon. Henpon pun aku menyampah nak surf internet. Terkial2 aku.

Kat kerja, memang ada komputer, tapi aku tak berani masuk tenet, aku dah la problem child kat tempat kerja, mau lagi masuk tenet, dorang trace ok, mampos terus aku kena buang kerja.
So sabar je la kalau takde blog posting ye korang.

Jadi ni pun, kejap je aku dapat depan laptop. Nak tunjuk incoming terbaru.

Harap aku dapat masuk tenet dan buat blog macam biasa.

Memang boleh rasa Sendu je blog aku sekarang. K bye..



ULI JON ROTH Tokyo Tapes Revisited Live At Nakano Sun Plaza Hall -Japanese Pressing Limited Blue Ray Deluxe Edition with additional two CDs.

This is like the 2nd part of the Scorpions Revisited by Uli Jon Roth.
The first was the Scorpions Revisited Double CD where Uli found this amazing vocalist to make the album a must buy.
TRY TO GET THE JAPANESE OR KOREAN PRESSING BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA SONG.

I wrote about it here..
http://deaf-angel.blogspot.sg/2015/02/uli-jon-roth-scorpions-revisited-double.html

Read this first until I show the Japanese Pressing Deluxe Packaging of the above LOL!!


I hope to resume blogging as usual soon. I wish I can manage time better. LOL!!


Anyway, Human League is coming out with an Anthology.

I am so so HOPING to get the deluxe boxset of 4 disc version of the above.

I believe its going to have a number of early recordings of the start of the group.

I think this is the album cover.

A VERY BRITISH SYNTHESIZER GROUP. Seriously...? YES!! The masters.

Ohhh be still my heart... DAP DUP DAP DUP DAP DUP!!!



This album will be purely Human League so no Together In Electric Dreams song as its a more Phil Oakey solo project with Giorgio Moroder.


September is going to be an amazing month, TOTO officially is finally officially releasing officially the Montreux 1991 show.
One of the last shows and final recording of Jeff Porcaro.
Steve Lukather take lead vocals for this era I think.

And Extreme, oooohh I am so curious about the Japanese only double cd of Pornograffiti Live.
I am not so eager of the live dvd as I already see them play the whole album Pornograffiti in LA BATACLAN but that double Japanese Live cd is cutesy to the max, the cover I mean.

Ooohh lots more... Deep Purple final Jon Lord show in Birmingham and with Don Airey playing the first part and they play together after Perfect Strangers is finally out on dvd.

and I still havent got Lefthanded Keadilan and Seruan. LOL!!

If ever a Song which basically makes my skin imagining and feeling like burning in hell hotness, its Seruan. LOL!!
PANAS OK, PANASSSSS lagu ni....
macam cacing kena panggang, well basically macam drama atau wayang melayu, setan kena azan gitu.


OK bye.

Uli Jon Roth' SCORPIONS REVISITED - Double CD (Korean Pressing)

This is my review and opinion on Uli Jon Roth Scorpions Revisited 2cd. I will intro in Malay language then I’ll talk cock a bit in English.

Satu dua minggu ni untuk yang korang kat Singapore memang best la kalau korang jenis kerja waktu pejabat. Tadi Uli Jon Roth ok (aku ni kat mana sempat buat blog kat situ la aku buat, ni start malam tadi pakai tablet sekarang baru nak tampal gambo dan post, aku still masih cuba KAWAL WAKTU  semula kerana perubahan sikit dalam aku pergi carik rezeki, so kalau semenjak dua menjak blog aku banyak typo atau ayat yang tak betul atau berulang harap maaf, langsung takde QC dah... tapi masuk internet buat blog, is something relaxing and enjoyable buat aku... pasal ni peluang aku SYOK SENDIRI), 
nanti awal March pulak Nathan East. Nathan East korang kalau tak familiar dia bassist yang famous amos dan main untuk band2 musician2  top guns gitu. Kalau korang tengok dvd TOTO 35th Anniversary Live In Poland, yang bassist asyik tersenyum kulit hitam tu dia la. Oooo Kayyyyy kalau TOTO panggil dia jadi bassist dorang untuk main live tour tersebut...  Well....... 

TOTO Please come to Singapore & Malaysia this year...I will skip work just for you!!. But sorry I will not skip work for Uli Jon Roth LOL!! Walaupun aku nak tengok sendiri dia punye SKY..... tu

Aku betul2 nak gi tau ni dua event, tapi DAMN!!! (Aku dah angan2 nak Nathan East sign Blue Ray Toto Live In Poland aku dan aku nak Tanya dia “Please share how it feels playing with TOTO everynight?” Cehhh!....) Aku kerja shift malam ah dua2 hari dorang dua ni beraksi. Dah bulan Januari aku dah miss Steve Lukather... Toto nye guitarist pun datang sini main tu jam.

Kerja lagi important la siot... Giler babi ah aku kalau asyik enjoy je cam takde tanggungjawab.. Ceehhh WAAH!!! Berbual tak agak haha.

OK, walaupun kita tak dapat menengok Uli Jon Roth depan mata, tapi... kita boleh dengar cd terbaru dia. Double CD ok, SCORPIONS REVISITED. Kalau nak beli original beli cetakan Jepun atau Korea. Ada satu lagu extra, benda2 gini kita kena carik paling “value for money”... I’ve Got To Be Free, dari Taken By Force la kot... haha. 

Cerita Scorpions Revisited ni dari booklet yang macam Novel panjang, UJR nye kawan2 suruh dia main balik lagu2 zaman Scorpions dia yang dia join jadi ahli 40 TAHUN dahulu. Jumlah semua dia main dan nyanyi sikit2 untuk Scorpions lima la kan kalau dah campur Tokyo Tapes. Oooo... dia kutuk jugak Tokyo Tapes la siot. Dia cakap Mixing tak bagus. Dia heran cammana Tokyo Tapes boleh jualan tinggi dia bilang kat master tapes rakaman Tokyo Tapes tu boleh buat mixing balik yang hebat... Tu pasal dia nak pastikan album dia buat ni dan mixing untuk Scorpions Revisited lagi terbaik dari mixing Tokyo Tapes. 

Cerita panjang lebih ok proses mixing ni, dia mintak tolong kawan dia buat pasal Uli Jon Roth nak kena tour pasal dorang dah kena booking awal2 buat Tour Eropah waktu nak mixing tu. Dia cakap la sekarang dia nye band pakai tiga guitarist jadi dia dapat sound lebih baik pasal Scorpions kalau live main Cuma dua gitaris je, jadi susah nak dapatkan bunyi lagu yang dia nak. Dorang ambik dua hari buat rakaman ni...

OK, so mula2 dia rakam2 live satu dua tahun lepas lagu2 Scorpions ni tapi dia tak rasa best sangat, jadi dia dapatkan balik pentas yang Scorpions zaman dulu berlatih dan tulis lagu waktu zaman 70an dulu. Sekarang pentas tu ialah sebahagian sekolah, dan guru besar sekolah tu ialah bekas keyboardist Scorpions waktu mula2 Scorpions berpecah kemudian bercantum kembali ngan Dawn Road lepas Michael Schenker pergi masuk UFO. (Anyway, aku dah kemaruk UFO yang zaman sekarang nye, lepas aku tengok dorang main Donington 2013, GATAL SANGAT AKU DAH NAK BELI ALBUM TERBARU DORANG PADAHAL KENA BERATUR ADA ALBUM LAIN LAGI DARI DULU AKU TUNGGU GILIRAN BUDGET MENYAMBAR ALBUM2 ITU.)

So UJR siap dapat penyanyi yang dia rasa boleh nyanyikan lagu2 lama ni semua... ye la Klaus Meine sapa boleh lawan kan. Then dia cerita la semua rakaman live, tapi Cuma tanpa penonton je, dan ada lagu dia sekali main terus dah ok, ada lagu lak main berapa kali then UJR pilih versi mana...... Terus terang aku cakap... ni album terbaik. BELI YANG KOREA LA... murah2 dan ada lagu extra. Jepun nye pressing mahal la.....

Macam korang boleh tengok kat timing lagu2 ni, ada lagu yang waktu dia dah berubah contoh cam Dark Lady, ni lagu pendek terus hah kau dah jadi 8 minit lebih,  pasal Uli Jon Roth nye band ada improvisation dan jam. Apa pun, setiap lagu nye melodi dan apa yang kita semua suka pasal lagu2 Scorpions zaman UJR tu semua tak diusik tetap sama... tetap seronok!!! Tetap syok sendiri...!!

Aku dah berapa kezaman tak dengar lagu2 Scorpions zaman ni, tapi senyum sendiri la. Tadi gi kerja, kan aku nak gi kerja tempat baru sekarang 2 jam ok, naik train, naik bas, jalan kaki.. tapi dalam perjalanan pasang mp3 rip lagu2 ni rasa sangat best... KENANGAN MANIS LA NI SEMUA KAN... Korang ingat tak waktu korang budak budak kat kampong...darjah satu darjah dua...dengar In Trance pertama kali..... 

OK la, of course banyak lagu yang aku suka jugak takde macam Speedy’s Coming takde... Fly People Fly takde...Top Of The Bill takde, Backstage Queen Takde, Hes A Woman Shes A Man pun takde... Born To Touch Your Feeling pun takde...bayangkan berapa banyak sangat lagu sedap2...  tapi tak kesah la.. apa yang ada ni dah happening.. Sekarang lain kali tunggu Scorpions Revisited part II lak, aku rasa DVD live pulak...

The Japanese and Korean versions of Scorpions Revisited contain an extra song. So its a better deal I guess. Definitely this is a very good buy for me. Unforgettable Songs that everyone of us loves so much is revisited beautifully and wonderfully, and Uli Jon Roth got a great singer to do Klaus Meine justice LOL!!!
The breakdown based on albums, without being too PEDANTIC,

Fly To The Rainbow Album – TWO songs
In Trance Album – SIX songs
Virgin Killer Album – SEVEN songs
Taken By Force Album – THREE songs
Tokyo Tapes Album – ONE song
Instrumental Improvisation – ONE song

So there you have it 20 songs. The improvisation is the Rainbow Dream Prelude which is a very nice acoustic instrumental by UJR before transforming into Fly To The Rainbow.

The booklet that comes with the double cd has a wonderful essay by Uli Jon Roth detailing the start of the idea to celebrate his 40 years joining Scorpions by doing this album, the in-depth details of “making of this album”, the story of how the recording stage that Scorpions used to rehearsed and write songs were used again, the usage of singers, usage of Three guitars and keyboards compared to how Scorpions sound live when he was in Scorpions, the mixing process, and lots of things..., they took 3 days, some songs were done in one take, the rest played a few times and he select the best, how this album is played live but without an audience.. and many more things...

Few of the songs itself, as can be seen,such as Dark Lady and Sails Of Charon has a clearly extended timings due to improvisations but the songs remain how we remember them.
This is a wonderful double CD. I really love it...
