Review from web page.
From his first solo performance in Japan in 1998, the first day's live performance at Tokyo's Nakano Sunplaza on November 10th was recorded in full for 2 hours and 9 minutes with a good audience recording at the time.
This was part of a world tour accompanying his second solo album ``ANOTHER WORLD'', which was released in June of this year, and Cozy Powell, who also participated in the recording, passed away before the album was released. It starts with the beat of “Dance With The Devil”, which seems to remember Cozy. Brian, who was in disguise, performed an oldies cover, creating a humorous atmosphere, and as the main story began, the second song, Rainbow's ``Since You Been Gone,'' expressed his condolences to Cozy, and after that...

I think this is the queen number as well as the solo. In addition, the set of this tour changes considerably every day, and on this first day there is a focus on solos, so the "ANOTHER WORLD" number was selected as a collection, and only on this first day, "Tie Your Mother Down" was performed solo, and he came to Japan as a solo. Nuno Bettencourt jumps in and performs, and this is a commemorative item to commemorate his visit to Japan, which is full of interesting things to listen to.
