Live Tokyo 1989...The Good Tokyo

[VH1986]

[PrideofPasadena]

I wish they were this good at my MOR show.

[phast]

I admire Sam for taking his live performances seriously and putting effort in it to sounding great.

If he was gonna sound bad he’d tell tell you, but he rarely missed a lyric or timing.

[track 5]

Yeah straight fucking nailed it. 5150 live. Go fuck yourself. Dude was a fucking beast! Out.

[JUNGLE DRUMMER]

Great concert...so was the one in 2012.

[JUNGLE DRUMMER]

Yeah straight fucking nailed it. 5150 live. Go fuck yourself. Dude was a fucking beast! Out.

I like this version of "5150" better than the LWAN one. Al is just a beast on this one.

Shit are you kidding me? Fucking big Al is fucking just stupid good. Like seriously listen to how good Al is. It's on a different level of shit. Out.

[Jedi McFly]

This was the first live VH concert footage I ever saw. Will always have a soft spot for it.

And yes, that version of 5150 is fuckin awesome. Take the delay Solo from LWAN and stick it before the up tempo solo Here and you’d have perfection.

Good concert, but Live without a net is better at all levels.
- The solo on Summer Nights was better on LWAN. And that's generally the case for all the solos.
- Alex is good, as always, but like Eddie, he was more on fire on LWAN. The tempo are less removed on this one. Don't know the reason.
- The stage presence and the voice of Sam were better on LWAN.

Yeahhh, it's a very good concert, but LWAN remains untouchable.

5150 should have NEVER been removed from the setlist in future tours with SH.....never understood that.

As a drummer, Al is not anywhere near his best on LWAN. His playing on the Tokyo 89 concert, including his solo, is actually quite superior to what he plays on LWAN. He doesn't quite approach the endless energy or creativity he displayed on the early tours but he certainly comes a lot closer on that Tokyo concert than he did on LWAN.

Another stupid setlist choice during the Sam era.

Totally agree, but loved how it came back for the UK RHRN tour.

[iplayguitaralot]

This show is what made me love the Hagar era. They sounded better then the CD until 95. That mine all mine solo, damn.

Those pick slides in one way to rock, fuck.

[Raldo]

Summer Nights should have stayed in the set list.
