CINDERELLA – Authorized Bootleg; Live At The Tokyo Dome 1990
This one was requested some time ago; CINDERELLA‘s “Authorized Bootleg; Live At The Tokyo Dome“. Part of Universal’s Authorized Bootleg series, this album captures Cinderella at the peak of their success, giving a New Years Eve concert at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, December 31, 1990.
The band is in a jubilant mood partying to ring in the new year and to celebrate their second hit album, Heartbreak Station. All the big hits from that and ‘Long Cold Winter’ are here, and Cinderella sounds big and powerful, cruising like a jetliner.
Although the band wasn’t quite made for arenas like some of their peers – they were too bluesy for that, better suited for an intimate setting – they’re muscular enough here to offer pretty convincing proof that Cinderella wasn’t just another run-of-the-mill hair metal band, they had some real musical might.
There has been several Cinderella live albums released, but “Authorized Bootleg; Live At The Tokyo Dome”, apart of being the last appeared, is something special.
The recording was originally done not with plans of a future album release, just to document the event.
So, despite of a little mastering to help the CD track sequence, the show is presented like it is: no overdubs, no studio enhancing.
This is just unadulterated Cinderella.
The result is a raw Cinderella; guitars straight from the amp, raspy vocals and booming rythm section. Especially the bass parts, which usually outcome buried in this type of recordings, it sounds upfront with a strong presence all over.
