Shakatak - Live at Tokyo Yubin Chokin Kaikan (1983/02/20)

This is a recording of Shakatak's third show on their first Japanese tour at the Tokyo Yubin Chokin Hall, broadcast on NHK-FM's 'FM Live Special' radio program. Similar to their contemporaries Spyro Gyra, I was particularly surprised by how much I enjoyed their live material in comparsion to their studio work. Definitely a bigger emphasis on the fusion aspect of their work on display here.
