Looking back at the group's overall live performance history, the period when the Stones resurrected from 1989 to 1990 is by no means a classic. For better or worse, it is true that the synthesized and overly supported sound diluted the guitar sound and looseness and wildness that are essential to the Stones. In the midst of all this, the recordings from the final day of the Japan tour, which quickly sold out, conveyed the band's more core sound, and in that respect, the Japan tour is in a special position. This is not only because it was the Stones' Japan tour that finally came to fruition, but also because it was a special Western music event that took place during that glorious period at the end of the bubble economy. The venue was the Tokyo Dome, and although the number of performances was set to be large, the tickets were literally platinum paper. That alone would have been bad, but the controversial phenomenon unique to the bubble economy, where celebrities and stars flocked to the arena seats not because they were "music fans" but because they wanted to see the "legend" of the Stones, is now a fond memory (there was even an actress who decided to get divorced and chose a Stones concert as her last date). The Stones' Japan tour was a big hit, but the performance on February 26, 1990 was broadcast on television, and it became an everlasting record. That first performance in Japan, and moreover, because it was for broadcast, there was a lot of video and audio released in real time. Now, both of them have been established in the form of "uncut complete version". However, while the content without commercial cuts is impeccable in terms of the video, the picture quality is inevitably inferior to the actual broadcast version. Therefore, this time we are building the best version based on the highest quality master of the broadcast version at that time. First of all, as was a hot topic at the time, two songs, "2000 Light Years From Home" and "Sympathy For The Devil", were cut from the video. Therefore, these two songs were assigned short version video from local broadcasts (also the highest quality), and all the songs were recorded at the quality of the broadcast. However, the local broadcast version was mono. Therefore, the audio for these two songs is synchronized with the complete stereo soundboard sound source familiar from "STEEL WHEELS TOKYO 1990". In this way, "all songs of the broadcast version and complete stereo sound" have been recorded. Another point is that the image quality is recorded on two discs with minimal compression. (Since "Band Introductions" before It's Only Rock'n Roll is only recorded in the local version, this has also been added.) This alone may be enough, but the release of the Stones Archive was just realized last year. Therefore, the audio of the archive version is also recorded so that it can be selected by synchronizing it with the video (the TV audio is connected seamlessly between songs). There must be many people who wanted to see the video with the sound of last year's archive version, which was a hot topic. This release will make that wish come true. As expected, the archive version wins by a landslide in terms of the power of Keith's guitar, and the graininess of Bill Wyman's bass, who was the only member of the Stones to visit Japan at this time, also stands out. And above all, the performance on this day, which has been well-received since then, is truly amazing! Watching the incredible singing of "Midnight Rambler" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want", the catchphrase "Mick is enthusiastic about recording" comes to mind. Moreover, the excitement unique to Japan in Keith Corner, who was so popular that he was embarrassed, and Keith's "enka singing style", which was at its peak at the time, convey the enthusiasm to the fullest. And "Satisfaction", where Mick got the timing wrong, was a perfect performance except for that. The masterpiece of the "STEEL WHEELS" tour, which is not inferior to Atlantic City in 1989, and yet the new standard of that memorable Tokyo Dome live video has been decided to be released!
