Description:
The information will be released on Fujio's birthday in 2023, 10 years after the death of Fujio Yamaguchi! The album includes a live performance at Shibuya Attic in April 1983, which was held in conjunction with the release of the 20cm EP "RIDE ON! A disc containing a selection of covers from previously unreleased material from the same period is also included. This is the first time that live performances from the period immediately after the resumption of live activities can be heard together. The band's live performance is the first time that the audience will be able to hear the band's live performance immediately after the resumption of their live activities. We've all been licking the surface, haven't we? Let's go deeper." These were the words that Fujio muttered to the audience before the start of the Attic concert.It can be taken to mean that after Dynamites - Murahachibu - Resort - Naked Rallys, the band is going to start pursuing their favorite blues and R&B music in depth again. The band is unpredictable and thrilling, changing for the better or for the worse depending on the feeling of the moment, including the length and tempo of the songs, and is a complete anachronism in this era of New Wave and fusion. In addition to four songs from their just-released EP "Ride On!" at the time, two songs from "Himatsubashi," "I'll Do My Favorite Otis Redding Song" and "That's How Strong My Love Is," a Ray Charles number and an arrangement of Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper's classic "The Fillmore In addition to covers such as "Mary Ann," an arrangement of Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper's classic "Fillmore Miracle," and an original unreleased reggae number "Because It's Raining," a new song at the time that was only performed live at the time.It also includes "Johnny B. Goode," an arrangement covered by Peter Tosh from the same period, and "Dareka Oirara ni" in a rare modern blues arrangement, as well as other live tracks carefully selected from the 1983 live tapes. This is a memorial album that allows you to "deeply" experience live performances from a period that can be called the starting point of Fujio's career as a band, from which he later moved on to the Tumbling Tubes and TEARDROPS.
