Comments:
Quite complete recording of the fourth night at the Budokan. There is only a very small cut at the beginning of Flash.
Typical Japanese show with screaming girls. Sometimes, i'm wondering how they are able to scream so much. But this is really a wonderful and very responsive audience.
The band is also in top-shape. They played a top-class set that night including a very long Flash Medley (rare appearence of Vultan's Theme), Teo Torriate and Rock It. Brian played a great Guitar Solo including Sakura Sakura, a Japanese song.
The recording is very enjoyable, coming from a very low generation. I could rate it as excellent but the girls are sometimes screaming so loud that Freddie can hardly be heard.
Really recommended recording.
