Awesome live album. 12 great songs mostly from Tales From The Twilight World and Somewhere Far Beyond. Blind Guardian are a great live band and this is a perfect example of it. For Blind Guardian fans this album is a must buy.

Blind Guardian's "Tokyo Tales" features live performances of songs from their first 4 CDs up to "Somewhere Far Beyond" and perhaps the best selections to showcase the Blind Guardian live shows as well. I've never owned the original 1993 version, but the remastered version sounds pretty good - loud, dynamic, and full. "Tokyo Tales" starts off with the opener from "Follow The Blind" then leads in to the speedy opener "Banish From Sanctuary." Is it just me or does the crowd sing extremely loudly...do they know all the lyrics? I kinda like this because you get the feel of a live show from Blind Guardian. "Valhalla" and "Majesty" are highlights as well with the crowd singing loudly and proudly and it makes you want to sing as well! All I have to say is that if you love Blind Guardian, get their live album "Tokyo Tales" as your power metal collection is not complete without this.

Blind Guardians top live production.(There is also an unreleased in Frankfurt) but Tokyo tales with now doubt is one of their best albums.Fantastic tokyo fans create a great atmosphere for the Band to performe a masterpiece live show....great job Blind Guardian

This should be one of the best ever live album and of course is the best album from guardian when you can get to know the old band.

I really like the speed that guardian add to every song in this masterpiece, that was the first thing that catch me years ago.

The Only thing that I regret concerning Tokyo Tales is that will never be release as a DVD, It looks like wasn't caught on video.

Its a must have.

I've wanted to purchase this album for a while but never seemed to get around to it but now that I have I'm glad I did. The songs on the album are well performed and the crowd is really into the music and you really get that 'live' feel which is cool. My only complaint is that Somewhere far beyond is not on the album. It is one of my all time favorite Blind Guardian songs, at least during this particular time period. Barbara Ann was a little odd as well. I actually think that is why I held off on buying it. But other than that the album is quite good. An excellent addition to a true Blind Guardian fan's collection.
