D Sylvians voice sounds more real than the usual recorded perfection.

ミックカーンのベースカッコいいです、ギターは土屋昌巳でしょうか？デヴィッドシルビアンの内向的なボーカルもいいです

This is a million times better than oil on canvas

Hard to believe 3 months from then and no more Japan, to me they hadn't even peaked,

[@simonespanu7768]

Then came Duran Duran...

Still missed to this day Japan

[@larsfillmore4765]

Shockingly good band! Saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon in the same year.

@@simonespanu7768 Duran Duran released their debut a bit under 6 months before Tin Drum came out.

That intro when the sequencer kicks in...

[@amaninamsterdam9016]

I was there 😀 Still have the concert ticket stub.

[@lucheirstrate8207]

Vintage 80ies, one of their best

[@jaspersmits6025]

I have the bootleg of Stadsgehoorzaal but this is like standing front row !

[@Maxiclaudi]

I never really liked the song, but since I was there at the time, great memories!

[@pinkpyjamas-ey6rw]

They must have been an amazing live band! They are my era - am sorry I missed them. x

It's a pity there's no video of this concert, but thanks for the audio.

[@secondsish]

Brilliant. :)

[@sergiosozi]

Magnifica versione!!!

[@newcagliostro]

thanks

[@chrismains6137]

Great add Brian, the synths are realy clear, which is how I remember them sounding live, but they seemed to be mixed back a bit on official releases, however it was a long time ago and my memory isnt what it used to be lol :-)

[@brigrog]

Its a great recording Chris. And its even better to have a fellow Japan and Villa fan on here!

[@chrismains6137]

Its strange that we have drank in the same room at many an OAD night but never chatted lol. Next time :-)

[@BarbieChaite]

Chris Mains on official recording, sylvian, face and voice was put in front... whereas the bass made it all...

[@shelleyanorphan]

Excellent tracks from Leiden! Is the rest of the show available?

[@rachelar]

Where do I get that red jacket?

[@marugonchan]

ヤバイ(*´∀`)♪

[@stevecarter2876]

Great apart from the opening guitar section, Tsuchiya lacks subtlety

[@rachelar]

Doing his best Adriam Belew impersonation, as hired!

[@samanthastephens1907]

UGH. That screeching guitar is awful.
