With the release of "52nd STREET" in 1979, from the second Japan tour that was held only for 2 days on May 21st & 22nd, the performance at Nippon Budokan on May 21st, the first day, was recorded in the best audience for about 1 hour 47 minutes. Complete recording over. Directly use the original master cassette, which is not available among traders at all. It is recorded with a clearer and more punchy sound than the existing board "Big Shot" (ZION), and fortunately the opening is recorded about 30 seconds longer than the existing one. The minus point is that the limiter is applied to the entire board, so the sound localization feels a little unstable throughout, but this board does not have such a problem, so it makes you feel a natural punch and a sense of stability. You can enjoy the concert with better sound. In addition, this edition also includes a complete introduction of the members who had a cut in the previous release (this part is recorded 20 seconds longer than the previous release). The music is very close, the sound is so close that it can not be thought of as a Budokan recording at that time, and since you can hardly hear cheers in the song, there is no stress at all, and Billy's show full of liveliness at this time You can enjoy it. An ultra-high quality document from the 1978 Tokyo performance that has been on a large-scale US / Europe tour since the fall of the previous year with the release of "52nd STREET" and has been scaled up with the band members of the iron wall. You can fully enjoy the set list unique to the Japanese performance with "Prelude / Angry Young Man" as the opening from "The Stranger" at the beginning of the tour, with the best sound quality from the original master. There are few titles for the 1979 Japan Tour, so there is no doubt that this edition will be the definitive edition. The sound quality and content are both the best!
