Review from internet page.

A digital video released by Taper of the first day of the two consecutive performances on February 13th & 14th, which was the final chapter of the 5-concert tour in Japan of their second “THE RHAPSODY Tour” in 2024, and their first at Tokyo Dome.
・Complete recording for 2 hours and 9 minutes from Audience Master. First of all, while various sound sources and video items are already in circulation, this title is of course a completely different audience sound source from the previously released ones, and is characterized by a strong core sound with a strong bottom, and is clear and full of realism. The sound is at the top level among pure audience recordings on this day, and the acoustic design this time is also excellent, with almost no echoes typical of Tokyo Dome, and the sound quality is due to the use of the latest equipment. Realistically reproduce the excitement and emotion of the day.

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" will be played separately for the opening and encore, and "Fat Bottomed Girls" will be performed as a new repertoire. ”, “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 the final two consecutive nights in Tokyo are the most emotional of all five performances. Therefore, it is a must-listen limited edition commemorative item, especially for fans who visited the venue on the day at Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan 13th February 2024 : from Original Masters
