This release features a soundboard recording of the concert held at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on October 27, 1995—Eric Clapton's 12th tour of Japan. Thanks to the remastering, the audio quality is consistently stable and enjoyable. As the tour entered its latter half, Clapton delivered a truly impassioned performance, showcasing the kind of superb musicianship that needs no introduction. The band displays impeccable chemistry, and the highlight of the show is arguably the sequence beginning with "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" in the second half; you will be overwhelmed by the relentless, driving guitar work—a rare treat.
