*This item shares the title with the bonus CDR included with the "Budokan 3-Day Complete Set," limited to 50 sets. This is a rare item that allows you to hear performances that go beyond a simple sound check and are a must-have for enthusiasts. This limited-edition item is a delight for fans who accidentally missed out on the limited edition set. This full recording captures the sound checks held before the doors opened for the three consecutive shows at Nippon Budokan during Sting's 2017 Japan tour, promoting his latest album, "57th Street, 9th Avenue." This disc features the entire three days in superb sound quality. This is a special edition item for enthusiasts from the XAVEL label, which released the definitive Japan tour titles with an astounding multi-IEM matrix sound source! Of course, the sound quality is comparable to a stereo SBD source! Disc 1 features a rehearsal held before the doors opened on the first day of the Japan tour's opening concert at the Budokan. The process of repeatedly honing "Mad About You," which was incorporated into the set for this tour, is fascinating, and you'll be mesmerized by Rufus' guitar approach and Sting's on-site direction to the Last Bandoleros' chorus line. Meanwhile, Disc 2 features sound checks from the second and third days, packed with rare tracks not performed live, such as "Big Lie Small World," "Soul Cage," "Ghost Story," "Lose My Faith in You," and "Consider Me Gone"!
