comments
The PROSHOT NTSC video is sourced from the "WOWOW" (Japanese TV) Broadcast, which is interspersed with Noel Interview footage.
Most of the releases in circulation use various versions of the WOWOW TV broadcast, however Night with a Heartbreaker and Setting Sons are TWO DIFFERENT Audience-sourced versions containing the entire show - with the complete Champagne Supernova "Jam" Outro!
Budokan '98 & More ("Jure") is a DVD transfer from a Master VHS and also contains bonus tracks from Mabudachi (TV Show with Noel Interview & Acoustic performance) and Budokan '98 1st Night (3 song clips).
Live at Budokan '98 was a new source from Japan that surfaced in the early/mid 2000s, better quality than The Boys Are Back In Town (Rhythm, TH-085/6) and more high end than the original bootleg titled Three Nights In A Judo Arena (No Label, OS-001). (NB. This is a reference to a famous Beatles bootleg "Five Nights in a Judo Arena" from 1976; Bayswater would also use this title many years later).
After that there were a bunch of releases using the WOWOW broadcast source...
Live in Japan 1998 is a 2022 release from "Alive the Live" series issued by "IAC Music Japan/King Street" in Japan (along with Boston 1995) and is notable because it was sold in mainstream music retailers like Tower Records. The release is lossy though - looks like it was sourced from MP3!
Japanese label Bayswater have released this show in two different formats: first was The Last Night in a Judo Arena 1998 (Bayswater, bw-05/06/07) followed by the massive boxset Three Nights in a Judo Arena (Bayswater, bs-152-157). The audio on this second release has been improved.
To my ears, Urban Camouflage (Moonchild Records, MC-225) is an upgrade on the previously avaialble soundboard releases and Setting Sons is the better of the audience sources. Also unlike other WOWOW sources, Urban Camouflage doesn't have the interview with Noel mixed over the very end of Acquiesce, plus there's also a few minutes of the PA/Outro.
