This 2-hour, 16-minute recording features a live performance in Saratoga, California on July 22nd, taken from the US tour following the release of 1998's "Imaginary Day." The high-quality audience master has been digitally remastered to perfectly capture the band's dynamic range and delicate tonal qualities. Furthermore, the mastering and editing process ensures smooth transitions between tracks, making this a truly enjoyable live album. The performance itself is also impeccable, kicking off with "Into the Dream," a staple that frequently opens live shows. The set then continues with tracks from the album, showcasing the band's distinctive style from this period. As with their Japan tour, the beauty of the final track, "Message to a Friend" from "High in the Missouri Sky," and the Pat & Lyle duo's "September Fifteenth," is truly moving. This stunning performance brings back the emotional impact of their Japan tour in the best possible quality. The same label has already released a recording of the live performance that took place the day before at the same venue, but some of the set was changed from the middle to the end, so this live performance is also a must-listen for fans.
