HIDE'S COMMENTS ON THIS RECORDING:
"My Yokohama recording had trouble. On ACT1 I was 4th row but I was surrounded by many roud audiences. So I moved back to 7th row on ACT2. So on 1st time I don't have plan to use my recording for this project. So I asked my friend "rober953" to use his recording. But I changed my mind. When I tried to mix our 2 sources, it sounds great. And rober953 also liked result. I hope you also like result."

HIDE’S REQUEST REGARDING HIS RECORDINGS:
“I don’t want to upload my recordings on bittorrent sites anymore because a Japanese bootleg shop has sold most of my recordings. There are also many debates regarding me & my recordings at a Japanese SNS site. So, I don’t want to share with those people. But I will provide my recordings on these great DVD/Blu-ray projects!”
