Play sample :
“Images, Words & Beyond” The third edition of the definitive press CD series that summarizes the Japan tour! A complete recording of the live performance at Grand Cube Osaka on the 4th day of the tour, 9/13, with an astonishing superb stereo sound board recording! The familiar XAVEL label boasts a perfect sound that is fully released to the world, and of course we use the original master that can only be heard here! Shortly after the performance, various titles including IEM matrix sound sources were circulated, but this work is a completely different dimension of real stereo sound board sound source! It has a wonderful sound balance that is comparable to the official live board, and it is not a cheap CDR, but a press board suitable for a permanent preservation memorial item! Part 1 covers old and new representative songs, Part 2 is a complete reproduction of Images and Words, and the encore concludes with A Change of Seasons to make Images and Words more perfect. is included. This work is an item that completely recorded the stage on the fourth day of this historic tour of fan madness with a perfect stereo sound board sound source, from Neil Diamond’s SE just before the darkening to the final performance without excitement. After finishing the three-day performance of the forced schedule of Aichi → Hiroshima → Budokan, this Osaka performance, which was performed after a day’s rest, is a wonderful content that can be said to be the best of the tour in terms of sound quality and performance! A limited production memorial item with a 3-disc press CD and a Japanese belt. A limited number of 6-disc titles (only this one comes with a bonus CDR containing the sound check of the Hiroshima performance!) Coupling the final Tokyo performance released at the same time are also available. If you are a fan aiming to complete the tour to Japan, please buy it!
