| REVIEW: |
The Faces
played only 3 shows in Japan, all in 1974, one in Osaka (the second gig was
cancelled due to Rod Stewart vocals problems) and 2 at Tokyo’s Budokan, the
last of which is this.
This release
from Japan was issued in 2019, but there have been other releases with this
recording like Live At Budokan 74, Live At Budokan (Zeus 9020021-2) from 1999
and Drunkard Angels (Reel Masters 005-6), Pool Hall Richard (1974 Judo) 2cdr,
At Japan 1974 (Phoenix) 2cdr and Japan It Shouts (Dve Kanal Glasba) 2cdr. The
sound output is really great, maybe with too many high frequencies but
considering it comes from Budokan, a venue known for its bad acoustics, unexpectedly
excellent. Note that this label later evolved into Mayflower.
