Album Notes & Community Reviews

A live album documenting Yellow Magic Orchestra's 1979 world tour, capturing performances from London, Los Angeles, and New York. Due to contractual disputes with guitarist Kazumi Watanabe, his parts were heavily overdubbed with synthesizers by Ryuichi Sakamoto in the studio, giving the album a distinct, highly synthesized sheen.
