This recording captures the entire opening night of Clapton & Winwood's 2011 Japan tour, held at Nippon Budokan on December 2nd. This is the final chapter of their 2011 Japan tour, which kicked off in Sapporo on November 17th and continued all over Japan, including Yokohama, Osaka, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Kanazawa, and Nagoya. This is the memorable premiere of five performances at the sacred Budokan. This title features 24-bit digital remastering of the XAVEL label's original high-quality master, recorded from a prime seat in the front center of the arena. Enjoy this historic stage with stunning sound quality that perfectly balances the band's live sound with the PA speaker output, and can be declared the "highest peak of audience recordings." While the setlist features the tour's staples, including "Wonderful Tonight," and no major surprises, the band delivers a stunning performance throughout, led by Clapton's increasingly powerful guitar playing. It's sure to raise expectations for the upcoming four-day Budokan performance.
