I tried to find out more about the DVD, it didn't even say if it were Sony who dug it up from their vault or not. Maybe they'll release a RoR or a Frontiers DVD next though.

Occasionally bootlegs or grey-area releases slip onto 'official' stores. My guess is it's something like that, if it was a Sony release we'd have heard something about it now. (Not to mention if Sony were to release another archival DVD they'd pick something from a different tour to avoid duplicating the Houston release)

I don't know. It seems kinda funky, but the DVD is listet in several internet stores. Anyways, here's the link to the cover : http://www.play.com/Music/MusicDVD/4-/8989621/-/Product.html?searchstring=journey+live+in+tokyo&searchsource=0#

This show has one of the cleanest bottlegs available. Someone remastered from the original tape, fixed the color, mixed in Dolby sound and put a very nice menu on the version I downloaded. This disc that is for sale might actually be inferior, if it's just a copy of original mono broadcast.
It might be a legit version though since it has region protection, where most bootlegs are universal. Someone actually went through the hassle of converting the original NTSC recording into PAL on this one.

I have the original master tape of this show direct from Sony on Beta Cam
This is a copy from my tape
If I ever remaster this thing it will be a real master release.

It's a great boot, but it's definitely a boot. What a killer set!

Well hurry the hell up Froy!

Is this the 7-31-81 show? This bootleg has been copied and circulated among fans for years. Yes, very good picture/sound quality, considering.

Ver yGood Boot watch it weekly
