BILLY JOEL “ONE NIGHT ONLY IN JAPAN - TOKYO 2024 -”
NANKER RECORDS NRBD-060
HD Audience-SHOT
138min.
The long-awaited one-night-only concert at Tokyo Dome will be held for the first time in 16 years since 2008!
Two types of cameras capture the scene at the center of the screen, a good close shot, a stable shot taken slightly to the left when looking at the stage, and a bold mix of multiple videos to create a dynamic audience recording in HD quality on Blu-ray. I recorded it. It also comes with a DVDR of the footage.
A surging opening with “My Life” from Symphony No. 9, a joyful rendition of “The Entertainer” from 1974’s “Street Sernade,” and a dashing rendition of “Start Me Up” even though he says he’s not Mick Jagger. A young Billy singing. "The Stranger" is a rare performance only available in Japan. Goosebumps goes from the warm-up of “The Lion Is Sleeping” to the rock-solid acapella of “The Longest Time.” "Honesty" was sung early, and the set was filled with famous songs such as "Allentown," "Say Goodbye To Hollywood," and "Only The Good Die Young." Billy's voice was outstanding! Is it the heyday? Even in the final stages, the tension did not drop at all, and Zeppelin's "Rock And Roll" also jumped out during "Uptown Girl", "Big Shot", and the overwhelming "You May Be Right", making it one of Billy Joel's signature concerts that will become a legend. We are here!
