Live Under The Sky 80

Denen Coliseum

Ōta, Tokyo, Japan

July 24th/27th 1980

Taken from a Japanese radio broadcast. (sensitively remastered)

I jettisoned a few minutes of music at the start of both tracks

as they were talked over by a presenter.

I had no wish to hear him again.

Don't be put off by the two track listing.

There is over 40 minutes of excellent music here.

The venue is an open air sports arena which I don't think exists now.

I've seen references to tennis being played there

so I guess it was the Japanese equivalent of Wimbledon.

This festival ran for several years but there is not a lot of info around.
