This release captures the final show of his sixth tour of Japan, recorded live at the Fukuoka Sunpalace on October 11, 1985. While the majority of the 1985 tour dates took place at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, this recording is a rare document of a performance in the regional city of Fukuoka. The setlist, performed during the tour supporting the new album *Behind the Sun*, features tracks from that release—such as "She's Waiting," "Same Old Blues," and "Tangled in Love"—interspersed with classic hits like "I Shot the Sheriff," "Wonderful Tonight," and "Double Trouble." The concert has a warm, intimate atmosphere, highlighted by backing vocalist Marcy Levy taking the lead on "Hold On Me." Although recordings from the 1985 Japan tour have circulated in the past, this release is particularly rare as it includes the encore. Regarding sound quality, while it is an audience recording, the mix is well-balanced. Despite some minor, characteristic instability, the performance itself is excellent and highly regarded, allowing listeners to experience an impassioned Eric Clapton on the tour's final night.
