Eric finally returned to the Budokan three years after being shut out due to the Corona disaster!

The "virtuoso" playing, which had been in jeopardy due to his age, was a sight to behold!

The setlist for 2023 was also in exquisite order.

Disc 1-1 Blue Rainbow is an unreleased song. The song has a very sad phrase, but Eric's fingerpicking on the instrumental part is a surprise to the audience. It's an instrumental, fingerpicking, and it's played on a white Strat. Yes! It's Jeff! This is really amazing! I remember Jeff introduced Eric as "the man who knows all about Strat." .... God, he is back.

The recording was done after overcoming various difficulties.

The crispy sound is a must-have.
