Concerts
The band toured regularly in the UK in the first half of the 1980s, but their first world tour began in 1987, with dates in Europe, the US, and Japan. Film footage was recorded at two shows at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan on October 9th and at Osaka's Osaka-jō_Hall on October 11th 1987 and released on video cassette (VHS) and Laserdisc that same year under the title Rip It Up Live.
A studio version of Rip It Up consisting of the original studio and remix versions of Dead Or Alive's best known songs was released on vinyl, cassette and compact disc that same year.
The concert was eventually issued as bonus material for the first time on DVD as part of the 2003 compilation release Evolution: The Videos.

Famous quotes containing the word concerts:
“The concerts you enjoy together
Neighbors you annoy together
Children you destroy together
That make marriage a joy”
—Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)
“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
