Theatre Of Living Arts - Philadelphia, USA

You have to understand that I have been a fan of Japan since when they started out, after which I have been following the musical careerpaths of all the individual members. I have never had the opportunity to see DS live for the 20 or so years I have been listening to his music. So this was a real treat! The concert definityly lived up to the expectation I had, given that DS is such a perfectionalist . The band was great, and I have to say that Tim Young and Matt Cooper were especially great. The playlist covered all stages of his career and I liked how they did these wonderful different versions of Ghost, Nightporter and Forbidden colors. DS appeared to be very relaxed and enjoying himself, even smiling at times. I definitly had a great time. The TLA is not very big but the place was filled up and the crowd was very appreciative. The encores were Nightporter and Red Guitar.
