Eric Clapton/Tokyo,Japan 4.18.2016

The second installment of the Eric Clapton Japan Tour 2016, all performances released from high-quality masters, is the Budokan performance on April 18th, the fourth day. This is also a master provided by the same recorder as last week’s item, and the recording position was unchanged at the arena seat (Arena B7). Therefore, this week’s three gift item titles are high-quality stereo audience recordings with almost the same level. Customers who received last week’s gift will say, “If the sound quality is on par with that one, then all is well.” Anyway, this is the perfect item for those who want to listen to Clapton’s tour with good sound as quickly as possible. Moreover, the master of this board has not been mastered at all. This is proof that the sound quality was sufficient at the time of mastering. Clapton’s play on this day is generally evaluated as “not bad or bad”, but in other words, does that mean it was “stable”? It can be said that this day was a day in which they did not push themselves too hard and were able to enjoy the band and the stage while giving a classic performance. According to eyewitness accounts from the audience, Clapton, who was suffering from right knee pain due to rheumatism, was changing the painkiller compress in his stage sleeve in between performances. It seems that because he had to hold back the pain during this stage, he had a hard time getting back to his best form. However, they still remain professional and provide the audience with a performance above a certain level. It can be said that this professionalism is the reason why Clapton has reigned at the top of the rock world for 53 years. It may be said that on this day Clapton’s maturity, which is over 71 years old, is revealed. Please listen to this album as if it were the day you endured the pain and played this much. It’s definitely a performance that shows how great he is. Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan 18th April 2016 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 (58:39) 1. Introduction 2.
