The great music experience - Japan 1994 - Bob Dylan, INXS, Ry Cooder, Jon Bon Jovi, Roger Taylor.... 

I was there! It was amazing! I also went to the after party where I saw Ry Cooder , , and all the musicians, except Bob Dylan didn't come. I went to the bar and as I waited was mesmerized by the hands of the woman next to me. Beautiful long fingered strong hands. Then I realized it was Joni Mitchell. My heart started beating a million patters and I finally mustered up the courage to speak to her. I tried to sound intelligent and casual but I was so excited I couldn't think. I said very casually, Is that Sake you are drinking? Inside I felt like someone was pulling my tongue in knots. She said, yeah you want some? Five minutes later of talking with her, she asked me to sing my new song to her. I sang into her ear and she put her arm around me and encouraged me to sing the whole song in her ear. She said she liked it and that it reminded her of the book, The Celestine Prophecy. She then spoke of the circle and how everything needs to be in balance. Masculine and Feminine. Later I drank beer with Jon Bon Jovi and partyed with his photographer. I gave Joni a leather beaded wallet that was made by the First Nation people in Saskatchewan which is where she is from. In the wee hours Jon Bon Jovi's photographer took a picture of Joni and I. We look like sisters and she is holding the wallet I gave her. Get well soon Joni! You are beloved! Thank you for listening to my song!

ああ、観に行きたかった！ もうこれほど荘厳で豪華な出演者が集うコンサートは二度と観れない。 東大寺の住職様の御理解とクオリティーの高い音楽に敬意を表します。

Happy to hear all the Joni Mitchell fans here ... one of the best all-rounders of the 20th century. Never had the pleasure of seeing her live, but her 70's albums are among my most treasured. My Japan experience is limited to close to where I live in Kawasaki - where I went several times to "Select Live Under the Sky" at Keio Yomiuriland. Saw Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Milton Nascimento among others (such as the god at 29:09 and 1:43:54) Got a chance to shake hands with Herbie at the old Tokyo Blue Note, and actually chat with Flora Purim and Airto Moreira. Japan is a great place for jazz lovers.

Me and my wife was among the 2 billions and still listen to some of it periodic, got it on 4 hours VHS. Now it is digital secured. All of the musicians seems so satisfied. In sixteen days on the 22. of may 2014 we will open a good bottle of wine (maybe twenty years old (if I can afford it) :-) ) and enjoy it from beginning to the end while I'm looking at my wife and thinking, how does she manage still looking so good?

BON JOVI X JAPAN awesome!!!

I only just found this!!!!I was there too. I sang backing vocals for Joni on "Sex Kills" - I'm stage right (left to the audience) in the cream suit. We hung out a little travelling to rehearsals and also at the party that Andrea is referring to. They say don't meet your hero's.....well if your hero is Joni Mitchell you're on solid ground. She was wonderful. This gig was a joy for me. There was some great synchronicity too, because I was asked by the musical director Michael Kamen to sing for The Queen at her Golden Jubilee in Buckingham Palace as a result of this concert. At the party, I told Joni in passing that I had "Court and Spark in my hotel room. She said "Do you want that I sign it for you?" Hell yes! I ran so fast up to that room. It's one my most treasured possessions. Yay Joni. 💖

I was there too, as I lived in Nara then.

INXS !!! RIP Michael Hutchence...

Thanks for preserving this!! I've wanted to find something on this for years. I was back stage and met most of the people which was surreal and to this day people dont believe it...Thank you for keeping some history current!

It was a great live experience.Thank you for preserving it and posting it. It just made 20 years disappear like it was yesterday. Thank you.

X JAPAN is very cool!!

I was there !!! What an experience !!!

it’s a miracle that mr.Bob somehow connected with this simphonic orchestra but strange it is! 😜 but after all he’s a magician

I was there! It was out of this world!

I waited many years to find this after my VHS-record of this event was broken and i could not find the complete version anywhere. Thank you so much for sharing!!! You made my day!

Great start 💫👌💥💫 delicate fine performance! 🌺 Chanting, drums, flutes, harpsichord.. A real all kinds of classic and modern music experience! In those surroundings wow! ❤️🌹👌

vi este recital cuando yo era chica junto con mi mama y papa... y ahora casi 20 años despues vuelvo a ver este recital es increible como deja recuerdos .. increible gracias

Durante mucho tiempo he buscado este concierto, muchas gracias :-)

O melhor show foi o da banda INXS, pois além de serem ótimos ao vivo, se preocuparam em introduzir elementos da cultura japonesa imersivamente em sua apresentação... 👏👏👏👏👏 Show de bola... (Detalhe: No vídeo não mostra todas as músicas tocadas - a música "what you need" foi o auge de encerramento do seu show - não inclusa neste vídeo) ✌️✌️✌️ Inesquecíveis!!!🎉🎉🎉

Bob dylan is brilliant in this...

Hutchie, so unique

Cool....Inspired!

玉置さん様になってるなあ！

Have that concert once recorded on VHS-Tapes. If I remember correct that about 2 Billion people were watching that earth-shaking concert. Were damn stunned by that asian "concept of music". Like the "drum battle of Leonard Eto and Ray Cooper" best :). "East meets West in perfection" :)) Also X-Japan were worth a second "google" ggg. Great music :) Indeed, sad there's no DVD around.

@92zuzu130: The song is called "Foreign Sand" (by Roger and Yoshiki) - Can be found on Roger's Solo-album "Happiness?"

Meraviglioso concerto,immenso Bob

INXS!!✌😷

so whimsical!

X… あえてこの曲をやるなんて

Great rendition of Hard Rain by Dylan with Orchestra

I LOVE the song at .40! So bizarre, and joyous. I like the energy and the melody. 'International', at its best. Music unspoiled by corporate labels or the industry!

Dylan is great

Cara Butler, i love her!

so do I...but the part with the drummers right after Dylan is awesome too...I wish there was a dvd of this....

i like the piece 48 minutes into this video.

Roger Taylor and Bonjovi

🌟✨✨💫

@92zuzu130 The song is "Foreign Sand"

@Tony: Add "Aoniyoshi" to the name of the video. If not for a helpful Bob Dylan page I would've never found this video!

Is it possible to purchase this on DVD? Thank you

Bonjovi Richie Sambora and lnxs and Bob Dylan

Thanks buazl1 cocospatra @Walter Mitty ^^

Excuse me, could somebody tell me what's the name of the song Roger Taylor's singing around 1:24:25? Thanks very much! :)

Oh no, never mind me... Forget about my comment... --'

yanni master consert

Could someone please tell me the name of the track INXS play at 19:00?

I think I have the whole concert on VHS, it is a great performance, let me dig in the old tapes, if I can make a better copy I up it. If I remember true it is 3 or 4 hours.

아 X-JAPAN의 YOSHIKI가 HOTEI한테 겁나게 쥐어 터졌다는 그 콘서트가 이거구나.. 듣자하니 BONJOVI한테도 연주력으로 비웃음당하고 털렸다던데.. 그래도 그립다.. 저 곳에 hide가 있다는 사실만으로도.

布袋もヨシキも玉置の前では二軍に見えてしまう驚き。
