[News] Steve Hackett to repress “The Tokyo Tapes” on CD & DVD remastered version

Spurred on by Steve Hackett wondering: “What would happen if members of Genesis, King Crimson, Frank Zappa and Weather Report all got together to form a unique team for just one night,” in December 1996, Hackett assembled a superb line-up for a performance in Tokyo that included John Wetton, Ian McDonald, Chester Thompson and Julian Colbeck. 

Containing classic tracks such as “Watcher of the Skies,” “Firth of Fifth,” “In The Court of the Crimson King,” “Shadow of the Hierophant,” “Los Endos” and more, this 2023 repress features remastered audio and includes a studio version of “All Along The Watchtower” by Hackett and Wetton, along with two studio tracks that featured on the original 1997 CD release. 

This triple disc edition also features a NTSC / Region Free DVD of the concert plus bonus rehearsal footage and a booklet with essay.
