The first day of Simon & Garfunkel’s first performance in Japan, the May 7, 1982 Osaka stadium performance is fully recorded with super high quality sound that gives a sense of presence. According to the tape label, it was recorded on the A10 block, and was recorded on the frontmost block in the middle of the large stadium. Completely recorded from the start to the end, including encore, “Remembrance Night” and “Boxer” are each playing twice. The first performance in Japan is known only for the second day’s sound source, which is not very realistic, but this work is a rare first day concert recorded with super high sound quality that does not seem like an outdoor stage is there. As shown in the jacket picture, Paul appeared wearing the Hanshin Tigers hat on this day (although it is the home stadium of the Nankai Hawks). Permanently preserved press board with beautiful picture disc specifications. With Japanese obi.The first day of Simon & Garfunkel’s first performance in Japan, the May 7, 1982 Osaka stadium performance is fully recorded with super high quality sound that gives a sense of presence.

サイモン&ガーファンクルの初来日公演初日、1982年5月7日大阪球場公演を、臨場感あふるる超高音質で完全収録。テープ・ラベルによるとA10ブロックでの録音と記載されている通り、広い球場の真ん中最前ブロックで録音されたものである。開演から終演までアンコールを含め完全収録しており、「追憶の夜」と「ボクサー」はそれぞれ2回演奏している。初来日公演は臨場感が希薄な二日目の音源のみが知られているが、本作は屋外ステージとは思えぬ臨場感あふるる超高音質にて収録されたレアな初日のコンサートである。ジャケット写真にあるように、この日はポールが阪神タイガースの帽子を被って登場している(南海ホークスのホーム球場であるが)。美しいピクチャー・ディスク仕様の永久保存がっちりプレス盤。日本語帯付。
