This is the complete third day of the 2014 Japan tour in Tokyo, recorded with a superb audience sound. This exquisite live album features 24-bit digital remastering on the familiar XAVEL label's original, high-quality master. It also includes the much-talked-about 2009 Japan tour featuring Jeff Beck, and the 2011 tour with Steve Winwood, his former BLIND FAITH ally, which generated a huge stir. The XAVEL label has consistently delivered definitive sound quality recordings, and this release once again lives up to fans' expectations. Following on from the previous day, the third day of the tour, the live performance at the sacred Budokan was recorded from the best possible position at the very front of Arena A's central block. This recording is truly a masterpiece, a world apart from the disappointing sound quality of audience recordings that are so prevalent today. From classic bluesy tracks to "Tears In Heaven," performed for the first time in a long time in front of Japanese fans, this two-hour performance encapsulates all of the charms of guitarist Eric Clapton. As this was said to be his final major tour, it was surely a deeply moving experience for fans.
