At the end of 2012, Tokyo was engulfed in the flames of Gunsun. A cold wave and significant venue delays made it seem as if even ticket scalpers were extinct. But the Gunners weren't extinct.

This one-night dream performance, Axl's first in three years, is captured on two discs in crystal-clear sound, thanks to 24-bit digital remastering of the IEM source used by Axl onstage.

This performance was also released simultaneously on the XAVEL label as "BLAST," boasting astounding sound quality. The bonus track also includes an IEM matrix sound source. This release delivers 100% pure, unadulterated IEM sound. If your sole purpose is to relive the live performance, the aforementioned "BLAST" disc may be all you need, but for collectors looking to hear "everything Axl does," including off-air conversations, this release is a must-have. Of course, this item also has plenty of purely musical value, as it allows you to clearly hear sounds that cannot be heard on regular live recordings, such as the subtle nuances of Axel's ever-changing vocals and the finer details of his piano touch.
