Their powerful and thrilling performance far exceeded expectations, a true example of roots rock. While not included as a standalone track on this album, Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett, key members of the legendary band Little Feat, also participated as tour guests, and their vocals can be heard on the two encore tracks. In particular, Paul Barrere sings the opening verse of \"The Weight,\" which turned out to be his last live vocal solo. This album captures their performance at Billboard Live Tokyo on August 31st. Carrying on tradition. Connecting legends. The Weight Band are such a reliable bunch! The touring members for this album include Jim Weider (GV), Brian Mitchell (KV), Michael Blum (DV), and Albert Rogers (BV), all of whom participated in their debut album \"World Gone Mad,\" released in 2019 (originally released outside Japan in 2018). In the latter half of 2018, they were joined by Matt Zainer, a powerful and soulful vocalist and keyboardist, which has surely surprised even longtime fans of The Band, and has made them fans all over again. The album tracks are a mix of two slightly different setlists from their shows on August 31st, covering both The Band's hit songs and The Weight Band's original compositions. Even those who didn't shed tears when the intro to \"The Weight\" began during the encore must have been unable to hold back their tears when the keyboard intro to the final song, \"I Shall Be Released,\" started! We want you to experience that powerful and emotional live performance again with this album.
