This ultra-high-quality audience recording captures the entire live performance at Nippon Budokan on February 15, the first day of their 2009 Japan tour in Tokyo. The band arrived in Tokyo after two shows in Osaka, and the performance was a huge success, especially on a Sunday. This release captures their incredible performance digitally remastered from the powerful original audience master. Compared to the Tokyo performances released simultaneously on the XAVEL label, the recording has a slightly harder sound, but the definition of each instrument is very clear, and since it was recorded from the center of the front block of the arena, there are no areas where the Budokan's typical sound is drowned out, resulting in an excellent sound balance. As for the set list, it was a complete departure from the Osaka performance, starting with "Tell The Truth," and the rest of the set was the same as for this tour, but on this day, "Isn't It A Pitty" was played in the first half of the electric set, "That's All Right" in the acoustic set, and "Before You Accuse Me" in the second half of the electric set.
