This release features a soundboard recording of Dokken’s concert at the Yokohama Bunka Taiikukan in Yokohama, Japan, on April 21, 1988. This was the band’s second tour of Japan—taking place in the same year they would eventually disband—and while it occurred during a period of intense internal conflict among the members, the live performance itself is incredibly powerful and superb. It is a fantastic item for long-time fans to enjoy. The sound quality is sourced from a soundboard (SBD) recording. Although an official release from the 1988 Japan tour exists, it primarily utilizes material from the Tokyo shows and is edited in a "digest" format; in contrast, this release features a rare performance from a regional city—Yokohama—and, given the minimal audience noise, it appears to be sourced from a recording that originated from within the band’s inner circle.
