The 24th visit to Japan, his first in two years, was a total of eight performances, including two additional performances at the Nippon Budokan, and the memorable first day performance on the 14th was recorded in full for 1 hour and 45 minutes from the digital audience master released by Taper. First of all, it was the first concert of 2025, and the expectations of the sold-out audience were high as to what kind of performance Clapton, who turned 80 the previous month, would show. The concert started with a number that made you feel the enthusiasm of starting with "White Room", and then the first half of the electric set was closed with "Sunshine of Your Love", and the venue was already heating up by this point. After that, they moved to an acoustic set, and in a somewhat calmer mood, they performed "The Call" from their latest album "MEANWHILE" for the first time in Japan, followed by "Golden Ring" from "BACKLESS", which was a hot topic during the previous year's tour, and finally, as if responding to their feelings for their Japanese fans, they closed the acoustic set with "Tears in Heaven", which was a moving and tear-jerking song. Then, starting with "Badge", the second half of the show featured a series of impressive solos and vocals, from classic numbers to blues covers, and they also performed "Wonderful Tonight", which they had declared they would never play again, with a lot of emotion for their Japanese fans. In any case, their energetic appearance and passionate performance, which makes it hard to believe that they are 80 years old, make this a Japan-only memorial item that will make you look forward to the performances that follow.
