Description
The second day of the Tokyo performance was recorded with the highest sound quality comparable to line recording, and the recording person of “TOKYO 2014 2ND NIGHT” surprised fans with the release of the ULTIMATE EDITION of the Budokan sound source on April 28th. The recording location this time was again the front row of the arena center block. Perhaps it is the fate of the Budokan performance, but compared to the hall performance, the recording of this TOTO Budokan in 2014 was lacking in clarity, but as expected, the taper of “TOKYO 2014 2ND NIGHT” provided us with the best sound of the Budokan sound source! The characteristic of the recording of this taper is the clarity of the sound that cannot be followed by anything else! The low range seems a little thin, but this is the best of the best recording take in which the sound surrounding the sound and the sound caused by the excessive output of the low range are reduced and eliminated to the maximum extent possible due to the characteristics of the taper. The most easy-to-listen-to, high-quality Budokan sound source, TOTO’s memorable 2014 Budokan triumphant return performance. This is the only title that allows you to enjoy the spectacular performance with the best sound. As it seems to be a front row recording, in addition to the closeness of the musical tones, the closeness of the MC’s sound, as if he was talking right there, is also noteworthy. Anyway, there was no Budokan sound source that was so easy to listen to, so it can be said that it was a long-awaited one for fans. This Budokan on the third day in Tokyo was the first to be announced, and 10,000 core fans gathered in large numbers. It was the most exciting part of the tour. Joseph Williams on this day also showed off his high tones without any decline, and David Paich’s warm piano with comical movements. Nathan East, who moves around with a smile, excites the audience with Africa. (Nathan will be joining Clapton on tour after this, so it has been announced that David Hungate will be returning for this summer’s US tour. Hungate will be returning to Toto for the first time in 32 years, so this will also be a big topic.) And above all, Lukather performed at his best on this day. Fans who saw the three days in Tokyo said that this Budokan performance was the most exciting for Lukather, and this can be felt from his spirited playing and emotional MC. Steve Porcaro, who showed off his wonderful singing voice in It’s a Feeling, also livened up the atmosphere with his wonderful playing presence. New member Keith Carlock also showed a playing style that fit the band better than his predecessor Simon Phillips, and excited the fans greatly. In addition to the main live performance, this Budokan definitive set includes a precious sound check on disc 3 that was only available to 60 fans with sold-out VIP tickets on the day. Of course, this is also a press CD. Like “TOKYO 2014 2ND NIGHT”, this was recorded with the same taper as the main live performance, and the sound quality is excellent. The recording time is 32 minutes, and includes the greeting “Hello Everybody!”, the voice of the attendant “Yes, please sit in three rows. Please sit wherever you like,” and On The Run / Child’s Anthem, with a Q&A session in between. The fans respond to Lukather’s call of “Welcome to Budokan!” with “Yeah!”. After the performances of Hydra and St. George And The Dragon, in response to a request from the audience to show the guitar settings, Lukather picked up his guitar and played hard, and the backing joined in to play a blues jam for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, which is a very valuable performance that you can enjoy with high sound quality. Furthermore, after the talk about Abbey Road in Roppongi, there was a performance of Beatles numbers, and the performance of Please Please Me, A Day In The Life, and And I Love Her here was also very valuable (although now that Paul’s Budokan performance has been postponed, Beatles numbers at Budokan is a bit lonely for Western music fans). On this day, the rehearsal and talk was longer than scheduled, and it seems that the sound check time was unbearable for fans. Furthermore, the fourth piece is the audience shot video of the Budokan performance, which has been praised for its high quality content. The title BUDOKAN 2014 is a high-quality audience shot video recorded from the front row of the center of the first floor south seats of the stand, for about 37 minutes, and the skilled camera work and accurate zoom in and out reproduce the moving stage of the day in beautiful and realistic images. TOTO Budokan 2014 live, which can be enjoyed with high quality video as if you were watching TV broadcast material. The songs included are the first song On The Run / Child’s Anthem (the dramatic opening with the curtain falling is a must-see), Pamela, 99, White Sister in the middle of the show, and Hold The Line and Home Of The Brave at the end of the show, so you can enjoy the whole show in a short but interesting way. The screen is beautiful and there is no blur, and in the up-scenes you can clearly see the fingertips of Lukather’s guitar, so it’s a very satisfying video to watch. There are not many audience shot videos that you can watch without stress. TOTO’s memorable 2014 Budokan performance is completely recorded with high-quality audience recording. This is the definitive title that includes everything from the precious sound check on the day to the incomplete, high-quality audience shot video from the first floor of the stands.
