Kansas/Tokyo,Japan 1.16.1980 Complete

From the first Japan tour held during the release of “Monolith” in 1980, the final day, January 16th, Tokyo Budokan performance is almost completely recorded in high-quality audience recording for 1 hour and 33 minutes. A must-have disc for fans that uses the original master cassette, which is not even available among traders. There is a sharp beginning at the beginning of Song For America, and the sound becomes clear around the 1st minute. People Of The Southwind becomes a little muffled after the third minute. There is a momentary slight microphone noise before the 6th song, The Wall, but after that the sound quality becomes clearer and the performance feels more direct. Dust In The Wind is recorded with a delicious and wonderful sound quality. The sound quality returns to its original level after Child Of Innocense, but there is no problem with listening. It sounds great again with The Sparks Of The Tempest. Carry On My Wayward Son, which can be said to be the finale of the concert and includes the second half of the second disc, How My Soul Cries Out For You, which features a drum solo and violin solo, and Magnum Opus, each have a very clear and superb sound. It is a must-listen part where you can enjoy the spectacular dramatic live performance with the ideal sound, and this ultra-high-quality sound part alone is worth getting the main disc. It’s a shame that the image of the sound quality changes between the first half and the second half, but overall the sound image is stable and the musical sounds are well recorded without being drowned out by cheers, so you can listen to it without stress. . A must-have piece that includes the first appearance sound source that collectors can’t resist. Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan 16th January 1980 TRULY AMAZING SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 1.
