We present to you the TV broadcast of "EARTH, WIND & FIRE's first visit to Japan!" This work was recorded on March 28, 1979 at the Nippon Budokan.The first Budokan in Japan was a 3-day performance.Let's watch it again for those 3 days.March 26th: Tokyo, Japan Budokan ・March 27th: Tokyo, Nippon Budokan ・March 28th: Tokyo, Nippon Budokan ``This work'' The first day of the 3-day period featured the highly popular recording album ``AT BUDOKAN'' by the people involved, and on the 2nd day You can experience the first two CDs, and the third day with this work.This work is a TV broadcast with subtitles for the lyrics and MC, and it seems to be an air check of the analog era. Amazing. Although there is some deterioration in the beginning that makes you feel the age, it gradually improves, and in the second half there is almost no smudging, distortion, or noise. The color is beautiful and the black shines, perhaps because the master was well preserved. Even the white sweat shines through.Of course, the sound is professionally recorded.As expected, it lacks the three-dimensional feel and presence of the legendary Akira Taper's superb sound. What makes up for it is the multi-camera scenery, which not only captures the highlights, but also creates an exquisite sense of movement with the whole body. Above all, I'm glad to see the professional shot of the gimmick that was typical of this time when he first came to Japan. At the beginning of the performance, Maurice stirs up the audience like a conductor, and Verdine White plays bass suspended in the air. "Runnin'" is a solo performance. Of course, the climax is illusion time with the golden pyramid! One by one, the members are sucked into the pyramid, guided by an alien (?) whose entire body shines brightly. Then, the pyramid that swallowed many members floated into the air and collapsed all at once! The scene that has become a legend can be witnessed in the professional shots of the best masters. Although it is a digest recording of about 45 minutes from the program slot, it is a professional shot that captures the delicious highlights. EARTH, WIND & FIRE's first visit to Japan is legendary because of their performance at the time, but if such a concert is not handed down, it will not reach that level. A masterpiece video that conveys the legendary enthusiasm to this day. Please fully enjoy the 2CDs (if possible, the entire 3 days at Budokan, including ``AT BUDOKAN'').
