Recorded live in Osaka and Tokyo, Japan in December, 1991. Includes liner notes by George Harrison. This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Perhaps still smarting from the poor reviews he received on his 1974 American tour, Harrison decided to make his 1992 return to the concert stage in Japan, where he presumed that both the fans and the media would be less critical and demanding than in America and England. Judging from the superb music on LIVE IN JAPAN, Harrison had little reason to worry. Backed by Eric Clapton's seasoned touring band (Clapton also plays guitar on the album but is not credited due to contractual reasons) Harrison performs confident, enthusiastic versions of most of his greatest songs, ranging from Beatles favorites like "Taxman" and "Here Comes The Sun" to a forceful version of his latest hit, "Cheer Down." Packed with excellent live versions of obscure (though wonderful) Beatles songs like "Piggies" and "I Want To Tell You," LIVE IN JAPAN easily surpasses THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH as the definitive George Harrison live album and it provides as excellent overview of Harrison's long and illustrious career.

Reviews Having heard many of these songs done live on the wonderful "Concert For George",it was nice to hear them sung by George himself. The backing band is incredible, and George is not plagued by throat problems as in previous tours. Being a guitar player, hearing some of the guitar solos by Clapton, Harrison and Fairweather-Low sent chills down my spine. The recording itself is very good. The surround is very judiciously used, percussion and backing voices mainly from the rear. You definitely feel in the middle. Now I need to find if there is a dvd available of this concert.

Report this review Review created: 05/03/07 by: beatlechick1964 ( 4 ) I had been looking for this CD for a long time without any luck, so I was absolutely thrilled to be able to find a new on with the cover still on at a price I could afford. The CD was in excellent condition, and I've played it over and over several times. I'll definitely keep on "EBAYING" for my videos and CDS. Review ID: 10000000003484896 Was this review helpful?
