Huey Lewis and the News/Tokyo,Japan 11.22.2017

In 2017, after four years of performances in Japan, the band performed at Orchard Hall in Tokyo from November 20th to 22nd. The final day of the three-day performance, the 22nd, was recorded in full from a soundboard-level digital audience master for 94 minutes. First of all, the excellent acoustics of the hall helped to record a superb balance from low to high tones, and the vivid sound of the horn section was particularly amazing. Of the four performances, including Osaka, the third day in Tokyo, which was the ultimate Greatest Hits show, attracted attention, and here too, the band performed a number of hit songs, but it is important to check that they also performed their current performance. And this day was an additional performance due to the popularity of the two performances scheduled in Tokyo, and it was not just an additional performance, but the other three performances, including Osaka, were based on the latest tour, but this day was a special concept titled “ALL THE HITS”, and it was a one-night special live performance in which only hit tunes were played. The set list was announced in advance, and the performance was so luxurious that all 17 songs played were singles, including the US No. 1s “The Power Of Love,” “Jacob’s Ladder,” and “Stuck With You,” and all the top 10 hits. This was the first attempt by the band in their career, and it was an idea that Huey Lewis and his manager came up with after the decision to add more shows was made. In any case, this is a limited collector’s edition that will be a permanent keepsake for fans, recreating the band’s first ever one-night special live performance in the best quality. Disc 1 : 1.
