Comment:

This is the second Tokyo show of the band in the Taken By Force japanese tour. Main part of the 'Tokyo Tapes' made here. They cut the 'Catch Your Train' and 'Hell Cut' so they didn't put these two track to there. I was talking by Uli few years ago and he told me that they couldn't use the recording of the first Tokyo night because there was anything problem with Rudy's guitarsound. Unfortunately he told me what I also thought and felt before video material doesn't excist about this tournament. Maybe some amateur recording but I haven't met with it in the last 10-12 years. This concert is full show where Herman's drum solo is also uncut in the 'Top Of The Bill'. There is very interesting when the man introduced the band in german language at the beginning of the show.

Quality:

My version should be an upgraded material because the sound is perfect. Some people represent this stuff as an audience recording but others swear that it's a broadcasting from a radioshow. I really don't know the truth but the SBD is standing closer to the verity. One of the best quality of Uli's concerts. I rate 9,5/10
