Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary band's first visit to Japan in 1971, which is still talked about today! This latest curated collection features four performances held during the tumultuous "July 1971," including rare recordings from the Hawaii concert just before their Japan debut, and the Share Stadium performance—an event that became a major spectacle since The Beatles. The collection pairs these with the latest remastered audio and video DVD.
CD1 begins with the recording from the July 12, 1971, Hawaii Honolulu concert. Known as a classic soundboard live recording from the 1970s bootleg era, it has been significantly upgraded with the latest remastering from the original, which had a flat and thin sound. Next, it features the legendary July 17, 1971, Korakuen Stadium performance, including rare, previously unreleased radio broadcast recordings from the era. The broadcast starts with stage announcements before the concert, with only two songs aired. However, the actual live recordings are edited with live album sound sources rather than the original broadcast, which has led to rumors that the band did not actually perform during the heavy rain—these recordings serve as a historic record. A live audience recording of "Heartbreaker" is also included for comparison.
CD2 contains the performance at Osaka Stadium on July 18, 1971, the day after the Tokyo concert. It captures the entire show from the opening to the closing with excellent sound quality. The recordings have been upgraded through remastering from the original sources, vividly bringing the concert back to life.
The DVD features the complete live footage of the July 9, 1971, Share Stadium performance in New York. Originally filmed as a documentary-style film, some footage was released while most remained unreleased, capturing the excitement of the venue and the performance. This restored, remastered version allows viewers to experience the legendary Japanese tour firsthand.
This special 2CD & DVD collector’s edition commemorates the 50th anniversary of Grand Funk Railroad’s first visit to Japan, featuring the latest curated edits of these historic performances!
