Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking the end of the band's foundational decade and the departure of guitarist Uli Jon Roth, this double album recorded at Nakano Sun Plaza is a landmark of 70s hard rock. The set famously includes their renditions of Japanese folk songs alongside their heavy rock repertoire, capturing the band right before their 1980s commercial peak.
