Asia/Osaka,Japan 03.05..2007 Complete DAT Master Edition

The second performance of the 2007 Japan tour, which was the first visit to Japan by the four original members, was held at the Osaka Welfare Pension Hall on March 5th. This live performance was recorded in full for two hours from the DAT audience master, which was recently unearthed for the first time. While the official live performance “FANTASIA: LIVE IN TOKYO” which recorded the Tokyo performance after this is also well known, the set is almost the same, but this one is a 100% live recording with no overdubs, and the sound quality is as high as the official version. And with the original members, including John Wetton, coming to Japan after 24 years, expectations were high, and in addition to all the songs from the first album, which was a huge hit, they also played the entire B-side of the single “Ride Easy”, along with the three representative songs from “ALPHA” and each member’s solo, perfectly recreating the set that we wanted to hear when they came to Japan in 1983. Moreover, while the official version was “Intersection Blues” with Howe’s solo, here in Osaka they chose “Clap”, so be sure to check it out. In any case, as a commemoration of the original Asia’s first visit to Japan, which everyone was looking forward to, this is a must-listen memorial item for fans that is on par with the official one.
