Digipak.

Rolling Stones captured at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan on Sunday the 2nd of April 2006, during their A Bigger Bang Tour. This was the fourth gig in Japan and the band really couldnt have pick a more perfect time then April in Japan. This was the cherry blossom week in Japan. The parks were thronging with visitors marvelling at the beautiful pink flowers. Saturday was a beautiful sunny day in Tokyo but the weather turned and Sunday morning was overcast. In the afternoon the wind started to get up and it was obvious a storm was on the way. It hit Saitama Super Arena at 7:15 and the crowd went ballistic. With only 15,000 tickets available this was the gig everyone wanted to see in Japan and we were not to be disappointed. The stage were smaller but the band really was on fire and gave an electrified performance throughout. Saitama is suburban city of Tokyo and compared to the earlier and bigger shows the days prior to this then this arena really brought out Charlies drum sound much better and the lightning looked better too. Mick was in such an animated good mood. He was superb and had the crowd at his feet. Opening with Jumping Jack Flash, the Stone’s performance tonight was similar to their first show at Tokyo Dome, with the order of their set list altered slightly. One noteworthy addition to the show was Wild Horses and they did a beautiful version of it. Sway was wonderful to hear and Midnight Rambler were Mick sang, danced, and played the harmonica perfectly. Another good Stones concert, no doubt about that
