This ultra-high-quality audience recording captures the live performance at the Budokan on January 18th, the second day of three consecutive Tokyo shows from the band's "Symphonicities" Japan tour in January 2011.

This high-quality recording features a 24-bit digital remastering of the original XAVEL label master, bringing to life a truly "greatest hits" lineup of classic hits, both old and new, perfectly balanced with spectacular orchestral arrangements.

The two-part set, separated by a 20-minute break, follows the same set progression throughout the tour, with the exception of the final encore song. However, each track, with its uncompromising arrangements, is a delight to listen to and never gets boring.

The sound of the diverse ensemble, centered around STING's vocals, is perfectly balanced, capturing the expansive, comfortable sound of the Budokan, perfectly complementing the orchestra!
