This complete recording of the September 1st live performance at Nippon Budokan by BEAT, a unit recreating the '80s Crimson sound, is available from a high-quality audience master comparable to a stereo soundboard. Recorded from the front row using state-of-the-art digital equipment, the sound is clear and balanced, perfectly recreating this precious one-off live performance, worthy of an official bootleg release. The lineup, featuring original members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, plus guitarist Steve Vai and former Tool drummer Danny Caillat, had been generating buzz even before their Japan tour, and this truly represents a gathering of exceptional players who rival the original Crimson. The two-part show's basic set configuration was almost identical to that of the previous year's North American tour, and although it was disappointing that only "Red" was not performed, the band performed songs from their '80s trilogy, including "Discipline," "Beat," and "Three of a Perfect Pair," one after the other, making the performance feel like '80s Crimson had been reborn in 2025. Seven songs from "Three of a Perfect Pair" were also included in the set, including "Model Man," a rare number never performed live by Crimson. This Japan-exclusive commemorative item perfectly recreates the one-night stand that was acclaimed by a wide range of music fans, from fans from the '70s and '80s to those who discovered the group through Steve Vai.
