Description
As “Heading For Tomorrow” turned into a commercial success partiarly in Asia, Gamma Ray were still on their European tour when they received invitations to Japan:a total of four shows in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. This offer inspired their record company to have producer Steve Payne accompany the band members and their crew to the Land of the Rising Sun to record the two shows in Tokyo for a live DVD (back then, sound and image storage media were still called VHS cassettes). Japan welcomed the new act with open arms. During the four shows in Japan, the new Gamma Ray line-up proved to be a homogenous unit and dynamic live act. They played two nights in a row in Tokyo in front of more than 3,000 fans each and delivered the hoped-for fi rst-rate material for their live DVD “Heading For The East”, which arrived at the stores in December 1990.
The show’s set list consisted mainly of tracks from the debut album “Heading For Tomorrow” as well as the Helloween tracks ‘I Want Out’, ‘Ride The Sky’, ‘Save Us’and ‘Freetime’, a composition which vocalist Ralf Scheepers had brought with him from his former band Tyran’ Pace. Thanks to the 2015 anniversary re-release “Heading For The East”, the legendary Tokyo concert from 1990 is now available on CD for the fi rst time, perfectly remastered by producer/sound engineer Eike Freese (Dark Age, Deep Purple)."
