Live in China

Live in China (中国 后醍醐, Chūgoku Godaigo, pinyin: Zhōngguó Hòutíhú) is Godiego's second live album. It is a recording of Godiego's concert in Tianjin, China. The concert was the first rock concert performed in China, and it was broadcast simultaneously in China and Japan on January 1, 1981.[1] The album cover was specially designed with yellow text on a red background, with all credits and song titles written in simplified Chinese. "Godiego" was even written as 后醍醐. Most of the songs were performed in English, with some songs partially in Japanese and others partially in Mandarin. Godiego also performed "Gandhara" (ガンダーラ, Gandāra, 犍陀罗), "The Road of Silk and Spice" (シルク・アンド・スパイス, Shiruku Ando Supaisu, 丝绸与香料之路), "Pomp and Circumstances" (組曲:威風堂々, Kumikyoku: Ifū Dōdō, 組曲:威风堂堂), and "Happiness" (ハピネス, Hapinesu, 幸福) in Tianjin, but these songs did not make the album cut.
