THE GREAT MUSIC EXPERIENCE '94 - AONIYOSHI

Bob Dylan, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Ry Cooder, Joni Mitchell, The Chieftains, Wayne Shorter, Roger Taylor (Queen), INXS, Shokichi Kina & The Champloose, Toshinori Kondo, Leonard Eto, Koji Tamaki, Yoshiki (X Japan), etc. (George Martin : the supervisor)

date : May 20, 1994 (Fri) - The First Night
venue: the big open space right in front of Daibutsu Den (the House for Gigantic Buddha Statue),
Todaiji Temple
city : Nara, Japan

What we've seen on TV is the third and final night on Sunday (and the last one-third of the second night). This recording is the first night. As far as I know, nothing has come out officially from the Friday show. The first night was like the "general probe" for the Sunday show. Set change was not smoothly done at all.

Is this realy the first night ?

	Yes, it must be the first night. What I wanted to say is that there's no VIDEO recording from the first night and the existing AUDIO recording is not common on the Queen bootleg market (but it does exist). Most Queen collectors have just the second and third audio (and video) recordings.
