A terrific FOB recording from a 1000 seat venue with a typically restrained Japanese audience, which lets the music shine through.  All preserved by a timely DAT > CDR transfer by Mr. McKenzie, for which we are all grateful.

Notes: Backup DAT copy made by the taper on two Maxell DM-120 DATs, and was transferred to two CDRs by TM. The file set includes a hand drawn note by the taper describing his location at the venue, and a photo of safety DAT, tape 1 (backup tape 2 is lost).

Enjoy!
