Eric Clapton/Tokyo,Japan 4.20.2019 Upgrade

We have been releasing Eric Clapton’s Japan tour titles at a super-fast pace, and thanks to you, we have received various satisfied voices, such as “I didn’t think that all five performances would be available so quickly,” “I didn’t think that all five performances would be available with such high sound quality,” “Each day had something to listen to, so I enjoyed listening to them and comparing them,” and “Five performances was just right for listening and comparing them.” We delivered high-quality and realistic sound sources before the afterglow of the performance had even worn off, but we will further evolve the release! On the first day, the 13th, we already released the highest quality “Budokan 2019 1st Night (2CD),” but from this week, we will release other days with the same superb sound quality. First of all, this is the ultimate edition of the 20th, which was the last performance to be commemorated. This master itself is the front row recording of the arena that was the basis for the released “Budokan 2019 Day 5.” In order to further upgrade in response to such requests, the “hall noise” part has been alleviated. As a result, the performance has a natural texture and is well-balanced. In addition, the sound pressure of the acoustic set has been increased by 5db. It has been raised to a natural level so that there is no difference in level with the electric set. This allows you to concentrate on the acoustic set more smoothly. I’m sure you were quite surprised by the sound quality of “Budokan 2019 Day 5”, but this edition has been further upgraded. Now, let’s take this opportunity to review Clapton’s performance schedule. In addition, we will also add the titles of our releases for each day. 13 April 2019 – “Budokan 2019 1st Night (2CD)”, “Budokan 2019 Day 1 (2CD)”, “Budokan 2019 Day 1 New Masters (4CD)” 15 April 2019 – “Budokan 2019 Day 2 (2CD)”, “Budokan 2019: The 2nd Show (free 2CD)” 17 April 2019 – “Budokan 2019 Day 3 (2CD)” 18 April 2019 – “Budokan 2019 Day 4 (2CD)” 20 April 2019 – “Budokan 2019 Day 5 (2CD)” ← [This work] Since this is the final performance to be commemorated, it may be natural to say that the press board will be introduced here. However, this is only possible with the provision of such an astonishingly excellent master. A genuine arena front row recording. The power of this granular musical sound, especially Sonny Emory’s drum sound, is amazing. And the contrast between the guitar sounds of Clapton and Doyle Bramhall, who are fueled by it, is wonderful! Will there be a return of electric Layla on this final day? Will there be any changes to the set list as a result? Will Clapton make any comments at the end? This was the final performance that was expected, which caused various speculations, but in the end, the set list was the same as the second day and included unplugged Layla, and there was no particular comment. However, in front of this sound, it doesn’t matter, I just want you to take a shower of this raging sound. As I mentioned in the review of “Budokan 2019 Day 5 (2CD)”, the highlight of this final day was that Clapton looked quite tired by the final day, probably because it was the first consecutive performance this year after a long break, but he was trying hard to maintain the quality of the songs. From the opening Pretending to the encore, there were many precarious parts in both singing and playing. However, he showed off his characteristic Clapton-like sharpness, such as Wanna Make Love to You, which exploded in an instant with his speed playing, and the way he played the songs carefully and delicately throughout the entire piece was extremely beautiful. This is the final performance of a legendary artist with a 56-year career, playing in his beloved Japan. I think that this board, which will be permanently preserved with the ultimate sound, is the most suitable way to convey that. Whether you have collected all the performances or are satisfied with the press version on the first day, I can assure you that this is the next one to satisfy you. ★Arena front row recording ★A miraculous ultra-high sound quality board that surpasses the sound board. (Remaster Memo) In order to make a difference, the hall sound part has been relaxed. As an effect, the performance has a natural texture and a sharper tone. The sound pressure of the acoustic part has been increased by 5db. *It has been raised without any discomfort so that there is no step.
