Toto/Tokyo,Japan 5.17.1982

The 1982 performance in Japan, which was the kickoff point for the peak “TOTO IV World Tour”. The legendary original recording that allows you to experience the scene at its finest is here. This work is recorded from the “May 17, 1982: Nippon Budokan” performance. It is a superb audience recording. Speaking of the Nippon Budokan in the “TOTO IV” era, the TV broadcast by a certain public broadcasting station is known as a symbol, and our highest peak board “BUDOKAN 1982: UPGRADE VIDEO MASTER” also reigns as a major classic. However, the Nippon Budokan performance at that time was not just that one meeting. First of all, let’s organize our collection with the schedule at that time and check the position of this work.・May 7: Kurashiki City Gymnasium・May 8: Fukuoka Kyuden Memorial Gymnasium・May 10: MASTER SWORD (Osaka)・May 11: OSAKA 1982 2ND NIGHT・May 13: Kyoto Prefectural Gymnasium・May 15: NAGOYA 1982 (Teiho CC)・May 17: Nippon Budokan ←★This work★・May 18: BUDOKAN 1982: UPGRADE VIDEO MASTER・May 19: Niigata City Gymnasium・May 21: BUDOKAN 1982 FINAL NIGHT※Only representative works on each day. That’s a total of 10 performances. A total of three performances were held at Nippon Budokan, and the TV broadcast was on the second day (May 18). This work was recorded at the concert the day before. This work, which vacuum-packs such a show, is a legendary recording that has attracted attention for its ultra-high quality. This recording was once released on CD as part of the six-disc epic “MASTER SWORD,” but the thick core is right in the middle of the crystal clear, transparent atmosphere, and the details are super delicate. In fact, “MASTER SWORD” was a set with an official soundboard, but it was so direct that it was possible. Although the timbre is similar to that of an audience, it is an ultra-excellent sound that is outside the common sense of customer records. There was a reason why it sounded so good. That is the recorder. The person who made this recording is a legendary master who was hailed as the best master in the history of Japanese recording. He is a person who has left behind many historical recordings that represent the time, such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, PINK FLOYD, Mick Jagger, THE ROLLING STONES, Prince, etc., and his skills are said to surpass the prestigious Kinney, and some enthusiasts even call him “Japan’s Mirrored.” This work is a masterpiece among masterpieces that was directly digitized from the original cassette of such a legendary taper. The superb sound that has no rivals other than the official work is a full show filled with the brilliance of the great heyday. As has been repeated, the 1982 Budokan is famous for its professional shots, but it was an excerpt that followed the broadcast frame of about an hour. In contrast, this work is a full live album that penetrates all at once. Let’s organize the set while comparing it here.・Space Knight (5 songs) Girl Goodbye / Child’s Anthem / I’ll Supply The Love / Georgy Porgy / Hold The Line (★) ・Turnback (5 songs) Live For Today (★) / A Million Miles Away / Goodbye Elenore / Gift With A Golden Gun (★) / English Eyes ・Holy Sword (6 songs) Good For You / Africa / Make Believe (★) / Rosanna / Afraid Of Love / Lovers In The Night ・Other (3 songs) Hydra: Hydra (★) / 99 (★) / Runaway (★) *Note: The “★” mark is a song that cannot be heard on the standard TV broadcast pro shot. … and it looks like this. In addition to the TV broadcast, there is also a full sound board leaked by the people involved on the second day of the Nippon Budokan, but this work can be enjoyed up to “Hydra” that cannot be heard there. And when it comes to the wonderfulness of the live performance that spells out this golden set… As mentioned at the beginning, Japan was the beginning of the world tour, and instead of being tired, it was also a period of improvement in the ensemble. Therefore, (basically) the more they went through the more they got into the game, and this work, which is the seventh performance, was finally when the set became familiar with the body and full power began. It was a moment when the three Porcaro brothers, who had all stepped together, meshed well with the level of breathing. A golden ensemble depicts a set of famous songs from historical masterpieces. This is a super-excellent live album in which a legendary master has drawn such a highlight performance. A world heritage from Japan, filled with the best sound that can be expected from an audience recording. A super-class audience recording of the “May 17, 1982: Nippon Budokan” performance. The show the day before was different from the famous TV broadcast pro shot, and the sound awakened from the original master of the legendary recorder is the awesomeness of a barefoot soundboard. A very thick core approaches the center of the crystal clear and transparent air, and the details are also super delicate. It’s the ultimate sound of the official work, and you can experience the full show of the golden “TOTO IV World Tour” on site. It’s a cultural heritage-class live album from Japan that is proud of the world. Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan 17th May 1982 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1(59:31) 1. Intro 2.
