Paul, who announced his tour in 1989, had been rehearsing carefully as it was his first tour in 10 years. This work includes a complete recording of the so-called general rehearsal, which was held just before the actual performance. Although it is only for those involved and the media, it is a stage just like a real performance in front of an audience. Although the setlist was not final, it was likely that they confirmed the reaction through rehearsals and solidified the setlist. At that time, "CHOBA B CCCP" was released only in Russia, so it is also worth noting that "SUMMERTIME", which was removed as a result, is played.
In addition to the press conference announcing the tour, it also includes the live performance performed for the press at the press conference, and the rehearsal. Some of you may remember that he played "MATCH BOX" at the Japanese press conference when he first came to Japan in 1990. It was customary for them to play several songs as a promotion at each place they went.
This work is completely recorded with high-quality first appearance sound sources that have never been released before. It's great to be able to listen to the public dress rehearsal at the Lyceum Theater, which until now had only poor sound quality, in such high quality sound. I hope you enjoy this concert, which has a different atmosphere from the later tours.
