Description
After touring across the United States and Europe for much of 1974, in support of their newly released album Deliver The Word, WAR decided to take their laidback West Coast sound to Japan---bookending their epic tour run with dates across Shizuoka, Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe. The result is a staggering collection of recently discovered live recordings from those concerts, available for the first time on CD. Live In Japan 1974 includes free-wheeling performances of WAR classics like "The Cisco Kid", "The World Is A Ghetto", "Gypsy Man" and more, all beautifully packaged with rare photos from the trip.

This looks great! I've been playing their The World Is A Ghetto 50th Anniversary Edition a lot lately, so this is coming at a perfect time for me. Definitely in for this.

Here's a sample from the live show:

if i recall correctly their first live album had a really odd tracklist.....this one is pretty good.
