Great recording

"Terific concert recording for any band. My original Japan vinyl pressing is typical of the high quality record pressing from Japan in the eighties. The Japanese attention to detail (exemplified by YMO itself) is missed today."

1983 concert as superb YMO recording

09/21/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD was recorded at the Nippon Budokan in 1983, and is very typical of the Japanese early Electronica music genre. Most of YMO's hits that they debuted with or were famous for are represented on this album, with new instruments and key-changes that offer an enhanced "YMO on Steroids" feeling. This reviewer highly reccommends the album."

Energetic intensity

"This is a live album. I am impressed by the quality especially since it was recorded in 1983. Amazing. There are a few minor changes to the songs from what you are familiar with on their studio albums, however. First they change the key of every song, slightly higher and for the better. The songs are faster and more intense. However, where on the studio album they would have used a vocoded voice they simply sing the lyrics as any other. Still amazing. If you are looking for one of the most intense/energetic live experience this is it. What it must have been to see them live, the crowd seems like they're having more than a good time."
