Guns N’ Roses Guns N’ Roses/Tokyo,Japan 1988

The Nippon Budokan performance is said to be the longest and best of their legendary first visit to Japan. The original live album will be released. The only “original GUNS N’ ROSES” Japan tour that took place 29 years ago. It was originally scheduled for July 1988, but was postponed due to Axl Rose’s bronchitis. It was rescheduled for December. GUNS N’ ROSES had grown explosively in those five months, and their popularity was so great that they could not fit into the original medium-sized hall, so they quickly announced additional dates. The Nippon Budokan was the biggest venue in the country, and the tickets were sold out in just two hours. It was an additional performance that truly showed the awesomeness of the “phenomenon” that overturned everyone’s expectations. First, let’s take a look at the schedule for their first visit to Japan.・December 4th: NHK Hall・December 5th: Osaka Festival Hall・December 7th: Nakano Sun Plaza・December 9th: NHK Hall “OUT OF PATIENCE”・December 10th: Nippon Budokan 【This work】 All five performances. You can see that the Nippon Budokan in this work is the only large venue. This work, which contains the scene, is a direct CD of the original master directly handed over from the recording artist himself. It is a famous product that was once released as “BUDOKAN ANOTHER TAPE”. As you can see from the title “ANOTHER”, several recordings have appeared from this Nippon Budokan, but this work is a masterpiece that came out later. The quality is a truly wonderful audience sound. It is a somewhat modest sound when you imagine a violently exploding rock and roll, but the natural rawness is unique to Master Direct. Even though it is “raw”, it is wonderful that there are no noisy spectators around, and the clear musical sound dominates the whole. It is a spectacle where the loud cheers bursting from far away fill the octagonal space. The cheers also speak of the tremendousness of the “phenomenon” and “revolution”. The cheers, which sound like screams mixed with female voices, are very Japanese, spread like waves that come and go. The reality of Axel and Slash’s every move comes to mind. Furthermore, their passionate performance at the Nippon Budokan was amazing. Even on their first visit to Japan, they produced many anecdotes, and some shows were cut short halfway through (the previous day at NHK Hall, they had planned to record a live album, but they got angry about equipment problems and ended after nine songs). However, this day was a great explosion. Perhaps because it was the final day, they continued to play one masterpiece after another with a ferocious momentum that left no trace behind, and before you know it, they had performed all the songs they had played in Japan, making it the longest show in Japan. Moreover, not only was the length great, but the enthusiasm for each song was also tremendous. In fact, Axel said before “Out Ta Get Me” that “it was my dream to perform at the Budokan,” and after “My Michelle” he apologized for the previous day. The Nippon Budokan was indeed the biggest event in Japan and a chance to redeem himself, and the live album overflows with the performance and singing that his words are true and sincere. The only visit to Japan by the original GUNS N’ ROSES. Among them, the Nippon Budokan performance is unanimously praised as “No. 1!” For us Japanese… No, it was a miraculous night in rock history. This is an original cassette masterpiece that breathed at the scene. A piece that blows the scent of that legendary night from the speakers. Please take this opportunity to enjoy it to the fullest.
