Questions and Answers is useless release in the press CD.

Use the original master. Recordings from Brad Gillis side of the first floor the eighth column. Outstanding technology and equipment goodness of the sound output of goodness just recording who seem not recorded a good sound to individual day of the PA is the directly appeared was the true perfection of recording. From “Touch Of Madness” of the first song to come sound that pop out from the speaker in the tremendous sound pressure and direct feeling, this should be able to I think the great recording. Separating sense of each instrument in the clear with all of the range is out without excess or deficiency also without saying! Especially guitar and vivid keyboard is amazing. This live the best sound quality to listen at the Tokyo show is all hard rock fans must listen not only fan (including Iyamoni sound source, but were compared to all of the recording take that has been around, closeness and outstanding ultra-high of distinguished sound it is recorded in sound quality).

Before coming to Japan, withdrawal drama of Joel Hawks tiger even was a bolt from the blue in the members, despite the Dodabata that change to Keri Kelli, always a no to change it up to fun rock show no and be delivered to us gave me. Only to Keri Kelly Joel Hawks tiger is sometimes served as a pinch hitter in the absence for a period of time, breath with Brad Gillis also a perfect, now familiar with the appearance is completely band to play happily and the looks you have a lock natural was.
Advance sometimes had recruited a song you want to hear the fans, it was showing signs of all performances daily set list. This day is played many hit songs, representative songs, it can be said with the set list to enjoy the royal road of Night Ranger. It is far from hear also rare song that said, “Penny” from the 1st album was played in a long time. School’s Out also playing Alice Cooper Keri Kelly had been enrolled. You me thoroughly entertained the fans. Barrage of hits of late has created a great peak.

1983 Although it is they played a first visit to Japan, making of this stage that there is terraced to stage center rear, that Jack Brace is at the time of first visit to Japan since it was similar to the ’31 before the first visit to Japan at the time the I am constantly touched. Jack Brace, Brad Gillis, in the center of the original members of the Kelly Keigi, that will not change and that time, decline was giving the impression to us in the best performance fun with high quality that will not feel any live this day, this item is a must-have fan board that was completely recorded in the highest sound quality any more do not. Limited, as is the emergency release determined from the popular ZODIAC a press CD!

ニューアルバム「High Road」を引っ提げての３年ぶり12回目の来日公演となるナイトレンジャーのジャパンツアーから、ツアー初日10月５日渋谷公会堂のライヴを全ての既発を一蹴しこのツアー最高峰と言えるこれ以上は考えられない最高音質オーディエンス録音で完全収録！問答無用のプレスCDでリリースです。

オリジナルマスターを使用。録音は１階８列目のブラッド・ギルス側から。当日のPAの出音の良さだけではここまで良い音で録れないと思える録音者の卓越した技術と機材の良さがそのまま表れたといえる完全無欠の録音です。凄まじい音圧とダイレクト感でスピーから飛び出してくる音に１曲目の「Touch Of Madness」から、これは凄い録音だと思っていただけるはずです。全ての音域が過不足なく出ているとともにクリアで各楽器の分離感も言うことなし！特にギターとキーボードの生々しさは凄いです。この最高音質で聴ける東京公演のライブはファンだけなく全てのハードロックファン必聴です（イヤモニ音源も含め、出回っている全ての録音テイクと比較しましたが、群を抜く音の近さと抜群の超高音質で収録されています）。

来日前に、メンバーでさえ寝耳に水だったジョエル・ホークストラの脱退劇、ケリ・ケリーに交代というドダバタがあったものの、いつもとなんら変わることのない最高に楽しいロックショーを私たちに届けてくれました。ジョエル・ホークストラが一時期不在時にピンチヒッターを務めたことがあるケリ・ケリーだけに、ブラッド・ギルスとの息もぴったりで、ロック然としたルックスで楽しそうに弾く姿はすっかりバンドに馴染んでいました。
事前にファンが聞きたい曲を募っていたこともあり、全公演日替わりセットリストの様相を呈しました。この日はヒット曲・代表曲が多く演奏され、ナイト・レンジャーの王道を楽しめるセットリストと言えます。久々に演奏された１stアルバムからの「Penny」と言ったレア曲も聞きどころです。ケリ・ケリーが在籍していたアリス・クーパーのSchool’s Outも演奏。とことんファンを楽しませてくれます。終盤のヒット曲の連打は素晴らしいピークを作り出しています。

1983年に初来日を果たした彼らですが、ステージ中央後方に雛壇がある今回の舞台の作りが、その31年前の初来日時と似ていたことからジャック・ブレイズが初来日時のことをしきりに触れています。ジャック・ブレイズ、ブラッド・ギルス、ケリー・ケイギーのオリジナルメンバーを中心に、その頃と変わることのない、衰えを一切感じさせることのないハイクオリティで楽しく最高のパフォーマンスで私たちに感動を与えてくれたこの日のライブを、これ以上はない最高音質で完全収録したこのアイテムはファン必携盤です。限定プレスCDで好評ZODIACから緊急リリース決定です！
