Toto - In The Far East Volume 1: Japan Broadcast 1999 - 2LP Vinyl Record

Toto arrived in Yokohama in April 1999 with Mindfields freshly released and a setlist that refused to play safe. This first volume of In The Far East takes the FM broadcast from the Pacifico Yokohama on April 29 and spreads it across two records, opening with the intro tape and Caught In The Balance before Tale Of A Man and I Will Remember settle the room.

What follows is a working band showing its hand: Rosanna arrives early rather than being saved for the encore, Steve Lukather takes an extended guitar solo, and the instrumental Jake To The Bone runs past nine minutes into a drum showcase. The closing stretch moves quickly through Out Of Love, Mama, 99, You Are The Flower, I'll Be Over You and The Road Goes On, a run that leans on the songwriting rather than the fireworks. Broadcast sound throughout, which puts it well ahead of the usual audience tape.

Volume two covers the rest of the same visit.
