Featuring the lineup that established the band’s golden age during its second era—Issei Noro, Minoru Mukaiya, Tetsuo Sakurai, and Akira Jimbo—this final album is a thrilling live recording documenting the band’s 1988 world tour, which took them from Brazil to Australia, Japan, Mexico, and the United States.
As for their live albums, a total of four were released during their Alpha era—including the early masterpiece “Thunder Live” and “Mint Jams,” which was originally made for the UK and European markets but has since become their most popular live album—but this is the only one from their AURA/Polydor era.It is a valuable record that offers a glimpse into what those overseas tours were like at the time.This is likely a result of reflecting the reactions of overseas audiences, which are more direct than those in Japan; listeners can enjoy a slightly wilder Casio Pair sound with more pronounced dynamics than usual.A horn section (Horn Spectrum + TOPS Horns) will make a guest appearance at the Japan tour.
