LIVE IN TOKYO 1972/VINYLE VIOLET AUDIOPHILE 180GR/POCHETTE GATEFOLD

Description

Live In Tokyo is the first live album by the jazz fusion pioneers Weather Report, recorded and released in 1972. The recordings took place on January 13 at the Shibuya Philharmonic Hall in Tokyo, Japan. It was one of five sold-out concerts they played in Japan that month. At that time, the lineup consisted of Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Miroslav Vitous, Eric Gravatt, and Dom Um Romão. All the music is encapsulated in five long "medleys" from WR's repertoire, three of which contain extended versions of themes from the band's self-titled debut album from 1971.
