Geetarz Comments:

The second performance in a special 4-night run in Japan with
Elton John and Mark Knopfler, this performance was broadcast both
on Japanese radio and television.

The radio and television broadcasts each had a slightly different
mix, and for this, Mid Valley was able to source the pre-FM audio
mix that would later be used for the radio broadcast.

This broadcast mix features a bit more “atmosphere” and crowd
noise, the sort of thing I’ve always nicknamed the “live radio
show mix”. In the past I’ve described some other shows as “crispy”,
“crunchy”, “hot close-miked SBD” … and this isn’t any of those.
It’s a far more “open” sounding recording, as the engineers try to
balance the soundboard and audience recordings.

All presented and packaged in typical Mid Valley quality, par
excellence.

Geetarz Comments:

Nicely packaged 8CD boxset contains the entirety of Eric Clapton’s 1988
tour of Japan. Special guests on this tour also included (*) Mark
Knopfler on guitar and (**) Elton John on piano.

This performance was recorded and broadcast on Japanese TV and Radio.
This, however, is the audience recording of that performance, and
should not be confused with any other version.

Geetarz Comments:

Good news, bad news … the good news, the set begins with the
best number EC’s ever opened with, “The Core” … the bad news,
it fades in !

Still, soundboard performances from this era are rare enough,
unlike say the 1974 tour where we have an embarassment of riches,
so no more complaints.

“Fool’s Paradise” is quite nice, featuring Marcy Levy on vocals.

“Cocaine” fades out before the end.

Great version of “Nobody Knows You” with March Levy on vocals!

Disc 2, track 5 @3:36 there is a small glitch in the original,
this seems a defect in the source and not an extraction error.

Nice B3 work on “Bottle of Red Wine”.

George Terry really nails the slide part on “Layla”, especially
the last few notes.

Be warned that this is the correct artwork for this title, there
is fake artwork for this CD set floating around in the trading
community.

CD-R (Trade) > LiteOn iHAP322 > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 4 (Secure Mode,
Offset Correct @ +6,0,24 bytes) > FLAC (Level 8) > You !

Artwork, checksums (ffp, MD5, ST5), Audiochecker v. 1.2 logs, EAC
extraction logs, and info file provided, as is a whole-torrent MD5
file.

This is definitely one of those oft-overlooked shows, some
performances (for instance, the Santa Monica show from earlier in
the year) have so many versions, and yet others don’t seem to get
the proper attention, this is one of those.

Pour yourself a Bottle of Red Wine and play this puppy loud!
