U2/Saitama,Japan 12.4.2006

The 2006 Vertigo Tour Japan performance is completely recorded in ultra-high-quality sound, even among fans who say it was the best stage! I can definitely say that it is the best item among the many Vertigo tours! This super high quality sound master is a label master that recorded a huge bestseller at the time of its release! A DAT master was borrowed, and the latest professional mastering was performed in the laboratory and the CD was released. Even so, I am impressed by the splendor of this sound quality, and the great thing about this master is that there is almost no chatter, clapping, or applause from the audience during all three days. For example, it feels like the person involved recorded AUD at the desk. In 2006, when IEM recording was still in its infancy and its level of perfection was low, I can assure you that this was the best sound quality at that time. Regarding the content of the show, it is the 5th leg of the Vertigo tour, the first performance in Japan in 8 years since March 1998. There were surprises in each of the three days of the Saitama Super Arena performance, which was held on April 4, 2006 at Yokohama Nissan Stadium! A satisfying set list that includes songs from the latest album as well as representative songs from the past. On the first day, “Window In The Skies”, which was unreleased and unreleased at the time, was performed for the first time! It’s also rare that they played “The Saints Are Coming” at the Japan concert! On the third day, December 4th, Eric Clapton, who was on a Japan tour at the same time, came to see the performance and performed “The Saints Are Coming” at VERTIGO. Sunshine Of Your Love” and “Presence Of The Lord” were included on BEAUTIFUL DAY, making it a truly “EC WAS HERE” final day! U2//TOKYO CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS//MON 04 DECEMBER CD1 tk01….. SE tk02…..
