Bon Jovi | Live at Tokyo Dome | Reconstructed | Pro Shot Remaster | Tokyo 1988-89

Описание: A show that was one of my first favourites, long before I had become a collector of any kind. Some of you may remember when the likes of ebay and amazon were flooded with semi-official (basically non-official) "documentaries" about the band like the "Story of my Life" or the "Halcyon Years" DVD. The latter had snippets of this show in there, presented in a little frame mid-picture. And, to top it, it was the DVD I wanted on my very first trade ever (back in 2006) and the only time I got ripped off by a "fan" (how's that for a start into the fan world?). I actually saw that guy two years later after the band's show in Frankfurt and was keen on "sorting things out", but luckily got held back by the people I was with. Long story short: this show is somewhat special to me.
Jon's voice was a little strained in late 1988 and you can still clearly hear he was holding back a bit after the experiences on the Slippery When Wet tour in 1987. The band's energy is great though and much like Tokyo 1990, I sometimes feel like little overdubs were added later before this one made its way onto the air. We had done this show in 2022 I think, this time around, I reworked the video tape for about a week, painstakingly filtering the grain from the tape and then remastering colours as well as gamma levels before slightly overlaying it for more stability. As always, YT's compression washes a bit of that out, but upon direct comparison, it's certainly a big step forward! The audio was remastered from scratch, trying to keep the original vibe in there with a nice punching bass, but also working on getting the guitars "de-muffled" from the mix and the vocals, drums and keyboards to be a little more pristine. I really pushed it with regards to this, leading to very faint distortions in some of Richie's solos, but it's got a great rock vibe I think. Furthermore, the broadcast had left out three tracks at the time: Homebound Train, Let It Rock and Get Ready. A rather bad audience tape of the show exists (quite distorted in parts) and was reworked and added in the gaps along with rare photos audience photos from that night (as always - special thanks to Jane for these!).
