Thank you for waiting! ! Yngwie Malmsteen returned to Japan for the first time in about three and a half years to tour in support of his new album *Perpetual Flame*, featuring vocalist "Ripper" Owens. This release—brought to you by the Sylph label—features complete recordings of the two-night Tokyo stand (April 8 and the April 15 finale) and the April 13 Osaka show, all captured with the label's signature high-fidelity sound that delivers incredible power and a true "you-are-there" atmosphere.

The Tokyo release includes the two full shows plus bonus footage of the joint performance with Deep Purple! As an added bonus, there is a high-quality DVD (featuring progressive/non-drop frame specs that rival high-definition clarity) 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 zooming, the footage offers a captivating, up-close look at Yngwie’s world. Given the rarity of video footage from his Japan tours, this is a real treat for fans!

There is no need to go into minute detail about the setlist! Although the runtime is a concise 70 minutes, the performance is nothing short of magnificent—a truly electrifying show. Yngwie plays with the commanding presence of a true guitar king, making every moment a rewarding listen. Since the setlists varied slightly between shows, this is a must-hear collection for any fan. This 2009 commemorative release brings back all the excitement and emotion of the live experience. Highly recommended!
