This upload is of a great remastering job of the Journey 1981 Tokyo concert. This is a double layer (DL) DVD and not a regular DVD+/-R disc. Many programs will compress the video and it can be burned to a regular DVD+/-R, but why would anyone want to do that? It's much better to go out and buy a DL DVD and not compress the files to fit on a standard, regular recordable disc.
This is definitely the best copy of this show I have seen or have in my collection. And I have seen (and have) a lot of versions over a lot of years :-) This project, created by a fan, was put out about 3 - 4 years ago but has been very difficult to locate in this lossless format. A special thanks goes out to Snivlle Remastered Edition for taking the time to build this project and everything that goes along with doing this. It takes a lot of time and a lot more "getting it right" and this is a very well built and cleaned up end product. You'll enjoy it if you download it!

Like I mentioned, I've seen this DVD out there before but I was always a little too late to get it. Thankfully, when I was out of town last week, a friend from Budapest and on a forum we are both on saw it pop up just before the moderators yanked it from the site. He was able to download it first and uploaded it file by file for me to download and get. Thanks for grabbing it and sending it Istvan!
As for the "yanking it" on the forum goes, it had nothing to do with it being illegal or anything like that. Some forums are super strict (which is not as bad as it may sound) about certain things. The forum it was downloaded from removed it because the video was re-encoded and they do not allow that. Under most circumstances, I like that policy. But sometimes, as with this DVD, I wish that wasn't the case because this is the definitive copy of this show that is out there (as far as what has surfaced) and it'd be a shame to miss out on this one. This is an excellent DVD and is definitely an improvement over the source video/DVD it came from.
So, enjoy the Tokyo 1981 Journey show for yourself and see what you think! And if you want some more Journey, then put in your officially released and bought copy of the 1981-11-06 Houston show (or go buy it if you don't have it yet :-))...
