"MT breath fire and intensity into his solos on all the tracks here, his Yamaha SG wept, growl, scream with passion..(like very early Carlos Santana on his solos from the III santana album and live)...the rhythm and congo section also smokes and blends into this passionate tropical electric paradise! This version is a well-transfered from a vinyl original, great to blast in the heat of this summer! You also get a mini poster of the band, this live is surely one in a LIVE TIME!!!"

Memorable Concert

"Saw this show live at Hibiya Park in Tokyo Summer of 1981. I was spending a week there on vacation from Hiroshima and was scanning the papers for a show. Knew nothing at all about Masayoshi Takanaka but since I was heavily into fusion at the time I went to the show. It was misting rain and they had a wide angle blue floodlight behind the stage that bathed the air over the audience's head with a curtain of light. The show was spectacular! The backup group was tight and you could tell the band was having a good time. Like another reviewer said, very reminiscent of Carlos Santana. I still have a virgin vinyl press of the concert that I picked up when I got back to base."
