As a \"special song,\" Lukather performs a crude, off-color tune—singing \"Ookii Chinpo-san\" (Mr. Big Dick)... It is performed as an acoustic guitar version. In a surprising turn of events during the Tokyo show, an announcement was made reprimanding this \"vulgar\" behavior; \"Smoke On The Water\" was then played, and Lukather was jokingly hauled off stage. The band delivered a fun, spirited performance unique to the tour's finale, capping it off with a speech expressing their gratitude. This is a memorable release clocking in at a full two and a half hours!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Review from a specialized music magazine]\u003cbr\u003eThis release captures the final two shows of the tour: Fukuoka on the 15th and the grand finale in Tokyo on the 17th. Although these are audience recordings, the sound quality is remarkably clear and easy to listen to. In Fukuoka, Bobby Kimball’s voice was a bit strained, making some parts difficult to hear, yet he powered through with sheer force—a true testament to his professionalism. For those actually in the venue, however, the dynamic nature of the performance likely made this issue barely noticeable.\u003cbr\u003eFor the Tokyo show—the tour finale—everyone was at the top of their game. Their latest album, *Through the Looking Glass*, consists entirely of cover songs, offering a diverse mix that ranges from reggae and The Beatles to soul. Naturally, these covers were sprinkled throughout the setlist for this Japan tour, allowing fans to enjoy a performance with a distinctively different flavor compared to their previous visits.\u003cbr\u003eAs is well known, Toto originated as Boz Scaggs' backing band; while they had a soulful sound in their earliest days, they had recently been focusing on the essence of rock music. Consequently, hearing them perform covers like those of The Temptations is, frankly, a delightful treat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sylph Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55191308370219,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0846\/6475\/files\/1_421ce05f-4452-4ba1-ab6e-6a96e62c9d0a.webp?v=1788185329","url":"https:\/\/wmlshopjapan.com\/es\/products\/toto-would-you-take-me-by-the-hand-tokyo-international-forum-2002-2cdr","provider":"WML Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
