This release captures Les Dudek's live performance at the Bottom Line in Nagoya, Japan, on February 21, 2013—part of a tour that began in Yokohama on the 19th and extended as far north as Sendai. It was an unforgettable day for longtime blues-guitar enthusiasts; having played with major acts like the Allman Brothers Band and the Steve Miller Band, Dudek delivers slide guitar work that truly ignites the listener's passion. At this Nagoya show, the audience was buzzing with high energy before the music started, but they fell silent and became completely captivated by Dudek's performance once the playing began. It is a magnificent concert. Regarding sound quality: although it is an audience recording, the audio is excellent. Thanks to a great recording position and the venue's intimate size, the sound is direct, stable, and highly enjoyable to listen to.
