This release captures the complete live performance from May 15, 2012, in Osaka—part of the tour supporting their new album *Show Me How to Live* (marking D.C. Cooper's official return) and celebrating the band's 20th anniversary—in superb audio quality that delivers immense power and a vivid sense of presence. This is a gem of the "Sylph Sound," offering a flawless balance and a truly authentic live feel.
The setlist focuses on tracks from the new album while also featuring songs from the John West and Mark Boals eras. Highlights include D.C. Cooper performing tracks such as "The Mission," "Lies," and "Tears of the Sun." Towards the end of the set, "Far Away" is performed with a moving arrangement, accompanied by a message dedicated to the victims of the earthquake. The acoustic segment—featuring André on acoustic guitar—offers a unique take on the band's sound, including a rare performance of "Restless." Additionally, the lineup now boasts a trio of talented female backing vocalists, resulting in richer, more powerful vocal harmonies. With D.C. Cooper in top form during his entertaining stage banter, this spectacular two-hour performance is a captivating listen from start to finish. This is a must-have commemorative release that fans simply cannot miss!
