The link is to a live performance of "Ready to Fly", which has long been considered a masterpiece among Masayoshi Takanaka's fans, and is a rare live performance from "the Sadistics" era. For one thing, the members of the band are Sadistics, and this is a rare take performed by almost all of the members who recorded Takanaka's first album, "Seychelles. In a sense, this is the original performance. The guitar used by Takanaka on this recording has the tone of the Fender Stratocaster that he used in his early days. There is no description of the equipment in the credits, but from the photo, it seems to be a Fender Stratocaster T1, "Takanaka's model".because it has been said that his playing goes well with the tone of the Stratocaster. It is really miraculous that there are videos of this era on youtube and that we can see them now. If you like Takanaka's guitar sound, I highly recommend and must-listen to this performance. ruclips.net/video/_IJrfTN2Vkg/видео.html READY TO FLY (Live) from Sadistics - Live Show, Kudan Kaikan Hall Tokyo, August 29, 1978. ruclips.net/video/Q_j2Gm-tbHg/видео.html Sadistics Ready to Fly (4:24~) on JPN TV show Live Long Edit Ver Sadistics Masayoshi Takanaka :Guitar Yu Imai :Keyboards Yukihiro Takahashi :Drums Tsugutoshi Goto :Bass
@@fgenmusic91 Thanks for your reply. Takanaka's live sound sources were more popular and appreciated in Japan when he was using old Fender Stratocaster in his early days. This is because from around the early 1980s he started using a sponsored YAMAHA SG1000. After all, there is a difference in sound. //For your reference ruclips.net/video/DRLwRZb4IGY/видео.html Live sound source of the same time, 1976.9.25 tue TV O.A. The name of the song is “Type1” and I think it was composed by Yu Imai. ruclips.net/video/R1yy-RDKmJs/видео.html,1977 live.
Surely the one with Santana belongs to the top ! So much freshness and energy ! This one however is much more clean, musically deep, and mature. In the ends it's a bit a matter of : hotheadedness of youth VS maturity and experience of the master...
