It was with ║ │ │║ Alcatrazz that former Rainbow singer Graham ║ │ │║ Bonnet restarted his career after a very brief ║ │ │║ stint with Michael Schenker Group. It was here ║ │ │║ that young Swedish guitar wizard Yngwie ║ │ │║ Malmsteen got his big break (and was then ║ │ │║ replaced by another wizard, Steve Vai). ║ │ │║ Alcatrazz was also home to New England and ║ │ │║ Warrior members Gary Shea and Jimmy Waldo as ║ │ │║ well as former Alice Cooper drummer Jan Uvena. ║ │ │║ Last yearÆs partial Alcatrazz reunion in Japan ║ │ │║ (featuring Bonnet, Shea and Waldo) reminded us ║ │ │║ how great this band is. This live album, ôLive ║ │ │║ in Japan 1984ö, is another great way to look ║ │ │║ back at a terrific rock band and its legacy. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The ôLive in Japan 1984ö album was recorded at ║ │ │║ Nakano Sun Plaza in Tokyo in January 1984 and ║ │ │║ the album contains the complete gig. Alcatrazz ║ │ │║ was a popular band in Japan and on this live ║ │ │║ album we get to sample some of that magic. With ║ │ │║ Gary Shea (bass), Jimmy Waldo (keyboards) and ║ │ │║ Jan Uvena (drums) laying the foundation of ║ │ │║ AlcatrazzÆs music, at the centre of it all is ║ │ │║ that familiar, characteristic Graham Bonnet ║ │ │║ voice. It is instantly recognisable. We also get ║ │ │║ treated to some splendid guitar solos by Yngwie ║ │ │║ Malmsteen. Personally, I think that YngwieÆs ║ │ │║ contributions to Alcatrazz were his career ║ │ │║ highlights. As a solo artist he often gets ║ │ │║ carried away, but when he played in Alcatrazz he ║ │ │║ got to shine without overdoing it. His guitar ║ │ │║ work on this live album û especially on ôEvil ║ │ │║ Eyeö, ôKree Nakoorieö, ôComing Bachö, ôGuitar ║ │ │║ Crashö and the traditional Japanese song ôKojo ║ │ │║ no Tsukiö û is sheer brilliance. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ We get three Rainbow classics (ôSince YouÆve ║ │ │║ Been Goneö, ôAll Night Longö and ôLost in ║ │ │║ Hollywoodö) as well as a Michael Schenker Group ║ │ │║ song (ôDesert Songö), but the bulk of the set is ║ │ │║ made up of Alcatrazz classics such as ôToo Young ║ │ │║ to Die, Too Drunk to Liveö, ôHiroshima Mon ║ │ │║ Amourö, ôNight Gamesö, ôIsland in the Sunö, ║ │ │║ ôSuffer Meö and ôBig Footö. Many of the songs ║ │ │║ here are still being performed by the Graham ║ │ │║ Bonnet Band today. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The production of this live album is û ║ │ │║ thankfully û quite raw and real. This is more ║ │ │║ like an ôas isö recording rather than one of ║ │ │║ those polished ôlive albumsö with tons of studio ║ │ │║ overdubs. It makes it more real and a great ║ │ │║ documentation of what Alcatrazz sounded like ║ │ │║ live on stage back in the day. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ AlcatrazzÆs album ôLive in Japan 1984ö is out ║ │ │║ now in Japan via Ward Records. It is being ║ │ │║ released in various formats including CD, LP, ║ │ │║ DVD and Blu-ray. Graham Bonnet will tour Japan ║ │ │║ again from 29th August until 5th September with ║ │ │║ Michael Schenker Fest. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ - CD1 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - Opening [01:17] │ │ 02 - Too Young To Die, Too Drunk To Live [05:02] │ │ 03 - Hiroshima Mon Amour [04:24] │ │ 04 - Night Games [03:14] │ │ 05 - Big Foot [04:52] │ │ 06 - Island In The Sun [04:09] │ │ 07 - Kree Nakoorie [07:37] │ │ 08 - Coming Bach [03:49] │ │ 09 - Since You Been Gone [03:57] │ │ 10 - Suffer Me [04:58] │ │ - [ ] │ │ - CD2 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - Desert Song [05:47] │ │ 02 - Jet To Jet [05:28] │ │ 03 - Evil Eye [05:07] │ │ 04 - Guitar Crash [04:41] │ │ 05 - All Night Long [07:09] │ │ 06 - Lost In Hollywood [07:33] │ │ 07 - Kojo No Tsuki [01:36] │ │ 08 - Something Else [03:30] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [84:10 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
