Richie Kotzen—a leading modern-day guitar hero celebrated for his wide-ranging musicality, superb guitar technique, soulful vocals, and dashing looks—returned for a long-awaited solo tour supporting his new album! This release captures the final show of that 2015 Japan tour (his first in nine years), held on February 4th in Osaka, in superb audio quality that delivers immense power and a vivid sense of being there.
Experience a hyper-realistic, high-energy, and hard-hitting sound! It is guaranteed to give you goosebumps and get you fired up. The setlist—featuring only one new song and covering key tracks from his past solo catalog—is truly a "Best of Richie Kotzen" experience. Despite the trio format, the band unleashes a massive, thick groove that defies the fact that there are only three musicians on stage! You will undoubtedly be blown away by the guitar and vocal work—even more refined and emotionally charged than in The Winery Dogs! You’ll also marvel at the technical prowess and expressive tone displayed throughout the set, played entirely using fingerstyle technique rather than a pick. Since the previous day was Richie’s birthday, the fans even sang "Happy Birthday" to him. There’s also a rare treat during the intro to "Help Me," where he shows off some impressive drumming skills! Packed with highlights, this magnificent 1-hour-45-minute performance is an absolute must-listen for fans.
Presented by the Sylph label with stunning cover art and superb sound quality, this is the definitive release to relive the Osaka show—an essential memorial item for your collection!
