The performance at Shinjuku Koseinenkinkan on December 9th, the final day of the 1981 Japan tour, was recorded in a high-quality audience recording from the original master cassette. At the beginning, there is a slightly unstable part in Tulsa Time, but other than that, it is very stable and you can listen to it without stress until the end. Perhaps because of the last day's leisure, the band's spirit is outstanding and although it is not flashy, the mature band ensemble centered around Gary Brooker and Albert Lee is worth listening to from start to finish. Chris Stinton's keyboard work is also a must-listen! Although Clapton's condition is not perfect, he plays a solid solo in After Midnight, an exquisite slide in Motherless Children (he rarely shows a slide in the second half of Layla's solo), and a blues-rich solo in Blow Wind Blow, and other great plays. In a rare scene, he starts off Ramblin' On My Mind a cappella. Still, perhaps because they were not feeling well or because they were exhausted, the tempo of the songs on Cocaine was significantly slower. (It seems that there was a scene where a staff member was hung by wires during Cocaine.) This must-have item for fans has been released for the first time in a long time, using the original source and packaging the ideal sound from the final performance at Shinjuku Koseinenkin Kaikan in 1981!
