Tokyo International Forum, August 31, 2008

That legendary live performance is now available in its complete recording! This title captures the performance at the Tokyo International Forum on August 31, 2008, with the best audience recording quality! Yes, it's the first Japan performance of Sly and the Family Stone, the funk legends, a show that was almost certainly cancelled at the last minute! The stage starts with a tease, with Sly not appearing, and it seems he might not show up at all... but he doesn't, instead appearing for "Don't Call Me Nigger"! He's changed his hairstyle again, looking even more like a cool, funky old man! The groove does become a little more relaxed when Sly is on stage, but that's what makes it so loose and cool! And from "I Want To Take You Higher," where he connects with the audience, Sly's vocals and keyboard work are simply unmissable! This item is a must-have not only for funk fans, but also for rock fans, indeed for all music fans—a truly historic title!
