Toto/Kanagawa,Japan 1999 Upgrade

TOTO returned to Japan in 1999 with the return of Bobby Kimball. Introducing the upgraded version of the official top-class professional shot. This work was filmed at the “April 24, 1999: Pacifico Yokohama” performance. This is a multi-camera pro shot that records the whole story. This video is a classic that has been known for a long time. It has produced a number of previous releases, and has gained popularity at our store as “YOKOHAMA 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the previous edition)”. The previous edition was also the best master carefully selected by overseas enthusiasts, but this work is an updated version that even surpasses the top. It may seem contradictory to “exceed the best,” but the broadcast itself is actually different. The previous version was just the best master broadcast in 1999, but this work is a rebroadcast version that has passed through the era. It is a different version with different cuts and editing as well as improved quality. I’m curious about the details, but first of all, the show position for the tightener. Let’s look back at the schedule for visiting Japan in 1999. April 14th: Morioka Civic Culture Hall / April 15th: Izumiti 21 / April 16th + 17th: Tokyo International Forum (2 performances) / April 19th: Aichi Kosei Pension Hall / April 21st: Osaka Kosei Pension Hall Pension Hall・April 22nd: Fukuoka Civic Center・April 24th: Pacifico Yokohama ←★This work★・April 25th: Tokyo International Forum [Rebroadcast version with improved editing] A total of 9 performances. Bobby’s comeback work “MINDFIELDS” was released in North America in November 1999, but it was released in Japan and Europe in March. Around that time, they started a European tour, and with that momentum they returned to Japan. The Yokohama performance of this work was the 8th concert in the final stage. As mentioned above, this show has been broadcast on TV and has become a classic, but this work is a rebroadcast version different from previous ones. It is a master that was recorded by a domestic recording enthusiast, but the quality is exactly the highest update. The previous edition was also excellent, and the analog feeling at the time of shooting remains the same, but the color development is extremely natural. The previous edition had some (slight) color unevenness that seemed to have occurred during the digitization festival, and the coloring seemed to have been enhanced (the members looked strangely ruddy, and Steve Lukather’s skin tone also had a reddish tinge). It was. However, this work is exactly the station master itself. It’s like watching a live show happening at this very moment. Contrary to the visual beauty, the cuts do not have the feel of a live broadcast at all. There are many cuts that are the same as the previous edition, but different videos are also used abundantly throughout almost all songs. Moreover, not only the timing of the transitions is different, but there are also many more interesting angles and highlights. Of course, if you watch it without knowing anything about it, you’ll just think, “This is a great professional shot,” but when you play it side by side with the previous edition, the intention of the reproduction collection becomes clear. Compared to the previous edition, which was as if it were a live broadcast, the level of perfection of the work has increased several steps. [A semi-official video work that will also be a “video version of LIVEFIELDS”] The upgraded quality will be a show that will become “LIVEFIELDS seen with your eyes.” Of course, the performances themselves are different and the sets are different, but the gorgeousness is the same. Let’s briefly summarize the contents of this work here. First Kimball Era (12 songs) Space Knight: You Are The Flower (Unplugged) / Child’s Anthem / Girl Goodbye / Hold The Line Hydra: Mama (Unplugged) / 99 (Unplugged) / White Sister Turnback: A Million Miles Away・Sacred Sword: Rosanna/I Won’t Hold You Back/Africa・Others: Tale Of A Man 1983-1999 (5 songs)・FAHRENHEIT: I’ll Be Over You (Unplugged)・PAST TO PRESENT: Out Of Love (Unplugged)・KINGDOM OF DESIRE: Jake To The Bone・TAMBU: I Will Remember/The Road Goes On (Unplugged) Second Kimball Era (4 songs)・MINDFIELDS: Caught In The Balance/Mad About You/Better World (Parts I, II & III)/Cruel *Note: Main stage only. This work also includes a bonus PV for “Melanie” at the end. …and it looks like this. A wide selection, featuring the golden “TOTO”, “HYDRA”, “TOTO IV” and the new “MINDFIELDS”. The new song “Mad About You” and the unplugged medley “You Are The Flower” are unique to that time, as well as “Mad About You,” “Cruel,” “Africa,” and even the unplugged “99” and “I’ll Be Over.” You can also enjoy famous songs that were not heard on “LIVEFIELDS” such as “You”. The rush of famous songs alone will fill you up, but there are also plenty of solos and interplays by each member. In particular, Simon Phillips’ virtuosity is clear throughout the film, and you can fully enjoy the multi-camera ensemble that was talked about as “the best of the 90s” at the time. Truly “moving LIVEFIELDS”. Its luxury and significance could be felt in the previous edition, but the “feel of the work” that has been refined with the rebroadcast is far superior. That is a professional shot that has the same value as the official work “MINDFIELDS”, and if this show is made into an official work, it will definitely be the version of this work. It is a masterpiece that has the feel of a quasi-official work, and is a masterpiece that is an update of the highest peak that allows you to fully enjoy the 1999 full show in which the strongest members showed their respective characteristics to the fullest over about two and a half hours.
