Jon Bon Jovi | Richie Sambora | Live at Tōdai-ji | The Great Music Experience | Nara City 1994

Описание: Short, but absolutely beautiful performance! Jon and Richie were part of The Great Music Experience, a three-night concert event held in front of a Buddhist temple. That concert was partly backed by the UNESCO in hope the event would be the first of seven annual concerts in front of some of the world's architectual treasures. However, this show would remain the only one. Since Jon and Richie came without the rest of the band, they were backed up by other musicians: Queen drummer Roger Taylor, session guitarist Phil Palmer, session bassist Pino Palladino, English musician Wix Wickens on keyboards, English musician Ray Cooper on percussion and for Livin' On A Prayer by Kirk Pengilly from INXS on saxophone.
The video was restored by my great friend Ronny and only slightly further adjusted by me. The audio was rather tricky since they had to mix all the different allocations of musicians on the spot in the live broadcast which often meant that certain instruments kind of drowned or it became rather mushy when they switched to a full electric setup (like in Bed Of Roses). A sound clone and a certain de-reverb setup kind of sharpened that, but also lead to it sounding a little harsh at first when there's just the acoustic setup. It also uncovered some small sound glitches in the original broadcast. Despite these little things that are still present (of course), I'd say it's a definite upgrade to the older version that was posted in 2021.
It was one of the few times Jon had to sing stuff like Bed Of Roses in the original key, making this a stellar vocal performance!
