We played our first show in Fukuoka
last night... really great. We added a new song that we learnt in my
room the day before. Just before we went back on for the first encore,
Alan had a mental blank... he couldn't
remember the riff, so after great panic it all came off great
(phew!!!).
Went to a small bar called Goddies, a soul bar... the owner
must have had at least 7000 soul albums of every artist you could
imagine. We sat and listened to music for a while, then got
entertained by a magician who came to sit
with us all. He was amazing... showed us a couple of
tricks. I'll have to try them out when I get back. Did my
laundry last night as well... the things you do on a Saturday
night in Fukuoka !!!
Been listening to a lot of Brian Eno
and Daniel Lanois
today. Got me into a strange headspace... kind of subdued and
melancholy. (Never a good place to go on tour)... but sometimes
it's nice to chill, as long as it's the right way.
Missing home today, but not long to go until the show tonight, which
will lift the spirits. I'm off to put some Aerosmith
on, and get myself geared up for tonight. Twisted my neck in the
night... I guess I slept in a strange way. Never mind, upwards
and onwards (WHOW) Tom Petty just
came on my tunes that's got me going... a great song called 'Jammin
Me.' Anyone know it ? It's the first track he plays on his 'Live
at the Fillmore' DVD. You've got to get it, just to watch
Steve Ferrone!
OK TIME TO ROCK OUT TO THE MAX
