After all is said and done this is Japan at the top of their game. It's such an unbelievably good live take of a difficult studio production in the first place. Massive talent and irreplaceable originallity. Lovin it now and forever.
Amazing to see this and to see Mick Karn and the bass so up front; visually and in the mix. Masami Tsuchiya's guitar brought a lot of kinetic energy to Japan's sound. His style really reminds of Adrian Belew.
this was right at the end, and unfortunately although there is nothing wrong with the performance, you can sense that all is not well between david and mick. a shame that a woman came between a fantastic group of musicians. typical X
Wow..Jansen is just great on this track. I always thought there was a lot of tape playing along here.. Well I guess not! I find very under rated as a percussionist. One of my all time favorites.
Such incredible musicians! They had it all.

Anyone interested in music with artistic values should possess Japan's 'Tin Drum' album. It's a masterpiece!

They were brilliant from the Quiet life album onwards really and even a few tracks on obscure alternatives were almost there, Rhodesia especially.

The Quiet Life album is better. In Vogue is one of Japans best.
