FRICTION "Live - Pass Tour '80" CD

So dangerous and so ruthlessly solid! This long-awaited re-release of the live recording at Kanagawa University in 1980, which captured the ensemble of the three - Reck, Masatoshi Tsunematsu, and Chico Hige - at its peak!

Released in 1996, the year after the release of "Zone Tripper," Friction, a trio consisting of Reck (b/vo), Tsunematsu Masatoshi (g), and Chico Hige (ds), recorded a live performance at Kanagawa University in 1980, and now "Live 1980" has finally been reissued on CD. When "_ed '79 Live" was hard to find (it was released on CD as "79 Live" in 2005), this album was welcomed by fans old and new as a way to learn about early Friction live performances, and even though it was recorded just six months after "79 Live," it is clear to see that the trio had evolved and deepened to an incredible extent. In any case, the dangerous sharpness, solidity, and tightness are nothing short of amazing. It's so crazy! This is an amazing live album that captures an amazing moment from an amazing band!
