Geetarz Comments:

Complete show – down to the “outroduction”!

This was the third of four shows with Elton John and Mark
Knopfler in Japan. Where the previous evening’s performance
was at the giant “Tokyo Dome”, the second Tokyo performance
was at the Budokan Theatre.

Reseeder comments: This will be a little confusing. Geetarz has
provided Discs 1-4 and 7-8 of “Complete Japan Tour 1988” on the
“EC is Here” label, but was unable to extract Disc 5, He requested
that someone upload Discs 5-6.

ECMM previously uploaded this set, but divided it into two parts
instead of four parts as Geetarz has more recently done. Since it
is not proper to alter someone else’s previously-posted torrent,
I am providing ECMM’s torrent “EC – Complete Japan Tour ’88 Part
2” which contains Discs 5-8. In keeping with Geetarz’ naming scheme,
I am calling my torrent “Eric Clapton – Complete Japan Tour 1988
(EC is Here) – Part 3-4.” Of course, you have the option of
instructing your BitTorrent client not to download Discs 7-8 of
this torrent if you already have the Geetarz version.

Thanks to the ECMM, whose original torrent is contained in a
separate folder, completely unaltered. What follows are the original
seeder’s comments.

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:

The 1988 Tour celebrated Clapton’s 25th Anniversary in the music
business, and coincided with the resurgence of classic roots rock
and blues in the public eye. The tour was received warmly, and the
crowd in Phildelphia was off the hook, which really took the energy
level of the band up a notch as well.

Sourced from a low generation copy of a pro-shot Video in wide
circulation among collectors – then remastered by the 3BR team.

Great, crisp soundboard recording. The mix, in particular, is very
up-front and close-miked.

IMO, this is superior to the Tarantura release “Vivela Slowhand”,
which apears to have been sourced from a lower quality, higher-
generation source and suffers from a bit of VHS tracking noise.
