Capturing the Live Act: 44 Magnum’s ‘Live @ Act II’ (MOON-38001/2)
Today’s entry focuses on a powerful live document from Japanese heavy metal mainstays 44 Magnum. We are looking at their double live album, “Live @ Act II,” released in 1986 on Moon Records with the catalog number MOON-38001/2. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
This expansive 2LP set captures the band on stage during their highly successful mid-80s period, following a string of popular studio albums on the Moon label. “Live @ Act II” serves as a testament to 44 Magnum’s reputation as a dynamic and high-energy live act, translating the power of their studio recordings into the concert environment.
Spread across four sides of vinyl, this album likely features blistering live versions of fan favorites and hits from albums like ‘Danger,’ ‘Street Rock’n Roller,’ and ‘Actor.’ Listeners can expect the full force of 44 Magnum’s signature sound: soaring high-pitched vocals, powerful and melodic guitar riffs and solos, a driving rhythm section, and the anthemic energy that made them stars of the J-Metal scene.
MOON-38001/2 is an essential release for experiencing the live power of 44 Magnum during their prime. For fans and collectors, this double LP (especially with the obi) offers a comprehensive snapshot of the band firing on all cylinders in front of an audience.
