Despite some positive reviews read here and there, I doubted a little that this "live" could be (at this point) better than the "IV" Well, I freely admit, it outperforms the "IV" easily. The band sounds less scrap, brass are better emphasized (and what it's beautiful !!), all instruments in general benefit from this treatment. Not to mention the two songs sung in Japanese -this is friendly ailleurs- interpretations of it themselves are a little different with changes in solis, intros, the structure of some pieces. In short, imho, it is essential to take advantage of the availability of this disc.
