This release features a complete recording of the April 24, 2014 Osaka performance from TOTO’s 35th-anniversary Japan tour—their first visit to the country in three years. It boasts superb, ultra-high sound quality that captures the full impact and immersive atmosphere of the show! With flawless vocals, instrumentation, and sound balance, this is a masterpiece featuring the meticulous mastering characteristic of the Sylph label. The enthusiastic cheers of the fans add to the excitement, guaranteeing a thrilling listening experience. The setlist serves as a career retrospective, delivering a "Greatest Hits" live show that spans a generous two hours and twenty minutes. While a recording of the Poland performance has already been officially released, this Japan tour recording is packed with unique highlights—most notably the razor-sharp, virtuoso drumming of Keith Carlock, who stepped in to replace Simon Phillips. Naturally, the release features Steve Lukather’s jaw-dropping guitar work—a treat for any guitar enthusiast—and Joseph Williams’s powerful high-register vocals. You can also enjoy the call-and-response between Nathan East and the audience during "Africa," as well as David Paich’s spirited and humorous performance. The Osaka Festival Hall—a venue beloved by musicians worldwide—provides an atmosphere where the band members clearly delight in the roar of the crowd, creating a live experience defined by a profound sense of unity between the artists and their fans. Above all, the performance—infused with a heightened sense of groove thanks to Keith Carlock’s arrival—is an absolute must-listen for fans! This commemorative release from the Sylph label comes complete with stunning cover art and superb sound quality.
