Title: "Awake in Japan ´95" VHS
Post by: jamesstewart on August 17, 2017, 09:59:25 AM

I owe a copy of the bootleg "Awake in Japan ´95" on VHS.  I bought this around 1996 in Sweden. Sound and audio is pretty good for being a bootleg. Anyone interested of buying this?

I think I own the same show. James voice was blown or maybe he was sick. Also John Myungs B-day if I remember right..

Yes. This was a few weeks after James ruptured his vocal cords. He sounds pretty good considering. He has a pretty rough time with "Another Day" though, from what I remember.

Here's a clip from that show. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTMnvAJalfg)

I slightly screwed up that upload, as I didn't use the right deinterlacing method, but this should give you a sense of what the show looks/sounds like.
Some of it was on 5 Years In A LIVEtime, but they overdubbed a couple of bits where James's mic cuts out, and they made some cuts to some of the songs.
