Tokyo 230704Here we are again! Arrived in Tokyo yesterday to a really nice welcome at the airport. The band arived to a lot of fans ready to greet them…a really nice sight. Tokyo is VERY hot at the moment, over 100 degrees and, for many of us, it is our first time here. It's a really nice and cool experience (as well as an expensive one!!!!). The people are ever so friendly…..my neck hurts from bowing….and can't do enough for you and everybody seems so excited to have the band here.
Tonight it was a rehearsal / soundcheck for the first show tomorrow at the Yokohama Stadium. It's an impressive venue that's for sure – a soccer stadium that seats 60,000.
The band play at 5pm tomorrow, on before Areosmith (the curfew id 9.00 pm!) and will play for 90 mins.

Yokahama 240704 UPDATEDThe band have just finished a blistering 90 minutes set (in blistering heat too!) at the Yokahama Stadium.
People said that the Japanese crowd may be more reserved than audiences the band were more used to but they went wild. The show ended with Pete destroying his guitar….which I caught on film.
In the meantime here's the set list:

In der ersten show nach dem grandiosen IOW Konzert entladet sich die
