This is the complete, superb audience recording of the second day of Santana's Tokyo concert, their first solo tour in 10 years in 2013. This top-quality recording features a 24-bit digital remaster of the original high-quality master from the XAVEL label. Captured from the very front-center seats on the first floor, this disc captures the live sound of the stage. The separation and vividness of Carlos Santana's guitar sound are particularly noteworthy, making this a must-have for all Santana fans. While the previous day's Budokan performance had a slightly blurred bass and low frequencies due to the venue's acoustics, this Forum performance delivers exceptionally clear, powerful bass and drum sounds.
The show kicked off with the lingering echoes of the previous day's incredible performance at Budokan, and many fans were left standing up early on during the opening track, "Toussaint L'Overture." The set continues with a selection of songs not performed the previous day, including "Everybody's Everything," and "Incident At Neshabur" even includes a Derek Trucks-esque rendition of "My Favorite Things." While Cindy Blackman wasn't present, the full recording of Denichen's machine-like, intense performance is a treat for enthusiasts. The bonus track includes footage of intensive rehearsal of the opening of "Soul Sacrifice," taken from the soundcheck held before the doors opened at the Budokan.
