Bon Jovi | 1st Night at Yokohama Stadium | Yokohama 1996
The band's first of three nights to round up their Japanese tour in 1996 (which had only consisted of one gig in Fukuoka and Osaka each beforehand). It's often overlooked since the second show was aired on TV and the third night became a legend amongst fans due to one of their most exciting setlists chosen in their career. However, also the first performance held its moments! For many years, a copy was around on Joey Keys' channel (still is) and that was taken from the first source that had been available for this night for a long time. Just a few years ago, a second tape was found which was a little different in balance, but overall also interesting. Each one had its side effects: the first tape had a pretty heavy thumping bass while this one had a nasty clanging sound on the cymbals. It didn't have the high-end clarity I would have liked but it turned out too artificial trying to force it back into it. So it's a little heavier on the lower and mid frequencies, but a pretty good recording overall. Sound remastered! Setlist: 01. Marching Band Intro [0:00] 02. Lay Your Hands On Me [2:20] 03.
