B'z LIVE-GYM '93 "RUN" was the first of two tours held by B'z in 1993. The tour, serving to support the album RUN, was a major success for the band that ran from January 30, 1993 to June 30, 1993, with both a hall tour and an arena tour. Every song from the album was ultimately played on the tour, though some were alternated with each other, such as the case with "Akai Kagerou" and "Gekkou" filling a ballad spot early in the setlist. When the tour moved to the large-scale arena venues, a group acoustic version of "Easy Come, Easy Go!" was added to the setlist.

While filmed, the entirety of the show has never been officially released. However, on Hidden Pleasure ~Typhoon No.20~, a collection of previously unavailable live performances and similar materials released to commemorate the band's 20th anniversary in 2008, a number of performances from the show were made available, ranging from "Ai no Mama ni Wagamama ni Boku wa Kimidake wo Kizutsukenai" and "ZERO" to "Hadashi no Megami".
