From internet page.
From the second Japan tour accompanying “A Night At The Opera” in 1976, the performances of the Osaka Kosei Nenkin Kaikan and the night club on March 29 are completely recorded with high-quality audience recording. Although it is one of the best recording versions, the only drawback is the sound deterioration of the first two tracks, such as intense tremolo on one channel, the masterpiece “ZOOM” sound source.
Although this master is the same master, there is no problem of sound quality deterioration that has already occurred, and the best version that has corrected the slightly faster pitch accurately and remastered the whole sound moderately is recorded.
A decisive board that carefully removes the scattered petite noise. It was a 1976 Japan tour that started with the schedule of Nagoya → Himeji → Fukuoka (2 performances), but Freddie’s condition got worse day by day, and after the Fukuoka performance, the doctor said, “Don’t speak out for a while.” It will be the worst situation as diagnosed.

Although it was two days off, there was a possibility of cancellation in the two performances of Osaka day and night, but Freddie fully demonstrated his showmanship while saving vocals moderately. As a result, both performances will showcase wonderful shows. Fans will fall in love with Ogre Battle’s powerful, beautiful, and well-controlled singing voice recorded on this edition. In front of Sweet Lady, she performed a nice MC with the word “Konbanwa”. Sweet Lady, who demands a higher key, sings with a fake at the last minute while searching for her lower melody, which impresses the listener, including the spectacular vocal ad lib in the latter half of the song. Following the promised Japanese MC, Freddie unintentionally muttered “Listen, listen” to the hysterical reaction of the female customer when he called the title White Queen. The rich melody that dynamically excites from the middle range and the drama with piano and guitar in the middle part are excellent, but the latter half of the song seems to be painful.
Following Flick Of The Wrist, who sang while saving, Bohemian Rhapsody completely collapsed at the high-frequency Mama … around 50 seconds, and after that, the painful appearance that somehow kept the place with a traumatic melody was to the fans. Would be a painful place. Killer Queen will demodulate a little, and The March Of The Black Queen will perform powerfully with a dossy singing voice. From there, I’ll manage to step on and bring the ending of Bohemian Rhapsody. Perhaps the break on Brighton Rock’s guitar solo worked, The Prophet’s Song gradually revived the power of the voice. Although not the best, the powerful and overwhelming singing that is full of persuasiveness is a stone’s throw.
Stone Cold Crazy is very moving because the whole thing is united and you can listen to the amazing performance.

Even Doing All right, which sings a fascinating melody slowly and powerfully, can be fully demodulated. Both fake and break in the middle of Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon are effective, and it’s a great intro to the hard rocking songs that follow Keep Yourself Alive and Liar. (In Keep Yourself Alive, Brian loses track of the composition around 53 seconds.) KYA’s drum solo is recorded with a very powerful sound. Unlike the first half of the show, where I was wondering what would happen in this area, the whole performance was showing off, and I could feel the dramatic explosion toward the last big circle. It’s very fun to listen to. Liar with a large recording of Roger’s chorus is excellent. Zukoke on the 6th minute is no problem in this fun performance.

In The Lap Of The Gods also has a fascinating singing voice that makes me think that such a voice often comes out in this situation, and it does not have any pain like the first half. Now I’m Here, and the encore Rock’n’Roll Medley seem to be a big excitement at the venue, but it is still a stone’s throw that the musical sounds are recorded so firmly. It is also attractive that you do not feel much equalization.
The best version of “Zoom”, which can be said to be the strongest and best document for Queen’s live performance in Japan, is now available.
