This is a superb live album featuring the Nagoya performance from the band's 2014 Japan tour, completely recorded with a superb audience sound. The familiar XAVEL label's original high-quality master has been digitally remastered in 24-bit, creating a truly exceptional live album. It also includes the much-talked-about 2009 Japan tour featuring a collaboration with Jeff Beck, and the 2011 tour with Steve Winwood, a former BLIND FAITH ally, which generated a huge stir. The XAVEL label has consistently released definitive sound quality recordings, and this time, they've once again delivered a masterful performance that doesn't disappoint. After four shows in Tokyo and Yokohama, the band moved to Nagoya, where, like in Yokohama, the setlist included "I Shot the Sheriff" instead of "After Midnight." Of course, this release was also recorded from the best possible position at the front of the arena. This truly exceptional recording, completely different from the disappointing sound quality of audience recordings that are so prevalent, can be described as "the pinnacle." From classic bluesy tracks to "Tears in Heaven," performed for the first time in front of Japanese fans in a long time, this two-hour performance condenses all of guitarist Eric Clapton's charm. As this was said to be his final major tour, it was surely a deeply moving experience for fans.
