One of rock n' roll's most venerated guitar gods, Uli Jon Roth, will release a very special live performance from the Nakano Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo, Japan on December 16th, 2016 via UDR Music, entitled “Tokyo Tapes Revisited - Live in Japan”.
The performance is a celebration of Roth's classic work with the Scorpions, and was recorded on February 20th, 2015 at the same venue as the band's classic 1978 live album “Tokyo Tapes”.
Roth was a founding member of the Scorpions in 1973 before leaving to pursue a solo career in 1978 with his own Electric Sun. As the recognized creative heartbeat of the Scorpions, Roth achieved worldwide fame for his unique guitar and song-writing talents, in turn causing him to influence a plethora of modern guitar giants such as Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins and Steve Vai.
Watch a “Tokyo Tapes Revisited - Live in Japan” clip of Roth and his band performing “Virgin Killer” below.
“Tokyo Tapes Revisited - Live in Japan” will be released in four different formats:
1. Video & audio recording of Roth's Tokyo concert in a BluRay digipak containing one BluRay video disc and two audio CDs.
2. The same as Product 1 only in a DVD digipak.
3. A digital audio copy of the Tokyo concert.
4. A super-deluxe boxset, limited to 800 copies. It will be a proper, lid-off shell box containing 4 heavyweight vinyl LPs of Roth's 2015 “Scorpions Revisited” release which has never been released on vinyl. There will also be an 80-page, gatefold, hardcover 12" book which will house 8 discs - 1 BluRay concert main-feature, 1 bonus BluRay disc (which will contain the original footage from the first Japanese Scorpions Tour 1978, shot personally by Roth on his Super 8 Camera), 2 audio CDs of the main Tokyo concert and 4 bonus audio CDs of Roth's Osaka and Nagoya dates on the same Japanese tour.
