Live At Osaka 2009 – Aud Shot

The wait is over! Yngwie Malmsteen returned to Japan for the first time in about three and a half years—this time featuring vocalist "Ripper" Owens—to tour alongside Deep Purple. This release from the Sylph label captures the full performances from the two-night Tokyo stand (April 8 and the April 15 finale) and the Osaka show (April 13) in superb audio quality that delivers incredible power and a true "you-are-there" atmosphere.

The Tokyo release includes the full two-night run plus bonus footage of the joint performance with Deep Purple! As an added bonus, it includes a high-quality DVD (featuring progressive/non-drop frame specs that rival high-definition video) containing a 28-minute digest of the Osaka show, focusing exclusively on Yngwie’s spectacular guitar solos and his signature guitar-smashing finale. Shot with effective use of zoom, it offers a captivating, up-close look at Yngwie’s world. Footage of his Japan tours is rare, making this a truly welcome treat!

No need to go into the nitty-gritty details of the setlist! Although the runtime is a concise 70 minutes, the performance is nothing short of magnificent—a white-hot, spectacular show. True to his status as the "King," his commanding playing style makes for a thoroughly rewarding listening experience. Since the setlists varied slightly between shows, this is a must-hear for fans across every performance! This commemorative 2009 release comes with a live DVD that vividly brings back all the excitement and emotion of the tour. Highly recommended!
