The film is finally released in Japan that shoots the patterns of the retro spec concert held in commemorating the 40th anniversary of Eddie Jobson's Pro Debut. The excitement of live is revived by Eddie Jobson and other famous musicians of the legendary group of U.K, the 4th of the Blue Country, Danger Manay, 2 songs are played in sequence of songs. In 2013, Eddie Jobson entered Carved Air and began his work as a professional musician. Jobson visited Japan for five years in consecutive since it came to UKZ in 2007, and it showcases a great performance that has launched its characters, but the 2013 next day performance is named "Debut 40th Anniversary Special Performance", featuring John Weton, Sonna Christina (Carved Air), and UKZ's members. 40 years of Son! It has been a special content to turn back to the career between them in a series of time. As an added performances, the live of U.K. was done in conjunction with his lives of the U.K. but this was a manian night that played all of the two songs of the previously announced 4 of the Blue Land Danger Maneer. This video work is a reproduction of the U.K. album. The complete reproduction of the U.K. album has been first to the 40th anniversary concert, and focuses on the live that was taught on November 8th the day before. In addition to Jobson & Weton, this member is the same as Marco Mineman (Drums) and Alex Mahachech (Guitar). For now, the attempt to play two albums in order is not achieved except for this performance. While most songs have been played in live lives, since they have only released 2 albums, they are only played in the last of the 4th of the Blue County has been played for the first time. The album of two pieces produced by different structures/members are played by common members this time, but it is not to mention the height of four musicianships: Jobson, Wett, Mahachecke and Mineman.

Curtain Call is good Mental Medication!
Amazing and very satisfying live document of UK music. Musical performances and recording quality throughout the album are outstanding. CD booklet is well done especially Eddie Jobson’s comments on each track. Highly recommended for all fans of live classic prog rock music.

Fantastic live video!
Fantastic video and audio of U.K. performing both albums in sequence. Additionally, they perform to of the non-studio tracks from Night After Night, as well as a song from the early touring years only heard on bootlegs.I saw them during their last three reunion tours, and this video does a great job of capturing Wetton and Jobson in fine form.

The thrill is gone
Live performances of complex music are always fraught, and attempting to match the original album note for note makes comparisons unavoidable. It's an accomplishment that something made in many layers can be performed live at all, more like the Olympics than a concert. On the other hand, the criticism that that this type of music was simply difficulty for the sake of difficulty is hard to argue against with a result like this.The two young guys seem to enjoy it a bit. John Wetton, not much and Eddie Jobson, not at all, but from reading the liner notes, Eddie sounds like a barrel of fun regardless. That he, Bruford and Holdsworth didn't kill each other is surprising.As mentioned elsewhere the sound is thin, especially the drums, but I think the emptiness has more to do with a single voice and no harmony. Wetton's voice is pretty good and they put some delay on it, but It's just him, alone. The good news is that they're all brilliant players and Eddie is so talented it brings to mind the saying, it ain't bragging if you can do it.

Will never forget I was ther with EJs friend Adrian
I wish people would stop talking crap about things like sound mixing and what ever else. U.K. was a great band then and its last incarnation. EJ I know you remember me when on the zealots lounge I ask you for the 1st live dvd and you remembered me and you delivered. Folks the truth is there's hardly any music like this around, so when it comes out.......buy it.

best band ever but the mixing of these recordings are ...
Guys, best band ever but the mixing of these recordings are completely not good. Sounds like a reasonable bootleg. The drums and bass lack depth and definition. Compare this to the latest King Crimson Canada live 2015 recording which shows how it CAN be done. Sorry Eddy, I feel that you missed the boat again on this one.

Excellent But Way To Expensive!
Way over priced (for some reason it dropped to $68 so I bought and it was up to $150 the next day). The picture is great but the sound is just good it could have been a lot better. The concert itself is excellent and becomes even more special now that John Wetton is gone. If you picked up the UK box set this will complete your collection (Eddie Jobson tried to include this in the box set but the Japanese company that has the rights wouldn't go for it) there is live Blu Ray ( Audio Only) and a version on two CD's representing the last tour they did but no video in the box set. I really wished I had seen them when they rolled thru Toronto a few years ago but I didn't hear about it until the day after it happened. If you can get this at a sain price pick it up. If you are a diehard fan and willing to part $150 I think you would love it. But is a Blu Ray really worth a $150 from any artist?

エディありがとう！
前回来日時のDVD”リユニオン～ライヴ・イン・トーキョー”はすばらしい演奏内容に反して音・画質共にひどい物でしたが、今回はなかなかです。何とオリジナルアルバム２作の全曲演奏に加え、初収録の”Waiting For You”そして、1979年の来日のために書かれたという2曲”Night After Night”と”As Long As You Want Me Here”まで演奏してくれ、正に彼らの音源完全再現集となりました。特に関心したのは、”ビル・ブルーフォード”と”テリー・ボジオ”という2人の対比的なテクニシャンの特徴を忠実になぞらえて好演したドラムのマルコ・ミネマン 。ライナーを読む限りでは、今作をもってエディの引退の様ですが、とても寂しい･･･。今後はせめて、素敵な作品を書き続けてほしいです。この翌日に収録された「デビュー40周年記念特別公演 フォー・ディケイズ」と共に、ファンの永久保存版です。
