Review from internet page.

Complete recording of the Sapporo Dome performance on February 10th, the third day of all five performances in Japan of the second "THE RHAPSODY Tour" in 2024, for 2 hours and 20 minutes from the digital audience master released by Taper.
First of all, while various sound sources and video items are already in circulation, this title is of course an audience sound source that is completely different from the previously released ones, and the sound is definitely the best among pure audience recordings, apart from IEM interceptions.
It's a high peak, and even the smallest parts are clearly clear, so the vocal harmonies and Brian's guitar phrases are also captured beautifully, with a sound quality that you can't believe is a dome.

The set composition is almost the same as the last time he came to Japan, and although the five performances this time are completely the same except for the first day, "Radio Ga Ga" is played separately for the opening and encore, and "Fat Bottomed Girls" ”, “Is This The World We Created...?”, and “A Kind Of Magic” are three new songs, and the key point is that the development is different from the previous one.
Anyway, I'm happy to be able to see Brian and Roger in such good spirits again, but on the other hand, this visit to Japan is also said to be their last, and it's also their first live show here in Sapporo since the "HOT SPACE" tour. , a commemorative item limited to Japan that fans should listen to all five performances.
