Yet another installment of the chaotic and ultimately doomed 1975 world tour. Lou hits Japan (his first vist?) for a short series of concerts before moving on to Australia and New Zealand. He reputedly arrived at Tokyo Airport to hear his new LP, "Metal Machine Music" being played over the PA system....
This is a reasonable recording - it helps that the audience are so polite, only applauding between songs. There were already cuts between the songs on my tape, so I think it may a copy of the 2LP vinyl bootleg "Live In Japan". Also, "White Light/White Heat" was listed on my tape inlay card, appearing after "Heroin", but it wasn't on my tape. I suspect that WL/WH wasn't actually played at this show.
Distribute widely but do not sell!
