Thanks for copy/pasting the setlists from the Japan tour, borneoman. I just remebered that a few members were not on FB, and Claude reported for us here from Russia!
I attended the shows in Nagoya (19/6) and Tokyo (20 and 21/6) and it was really special. The venues were tiny at his request (a bar with 100 ppl in Nagoya, about 250/300 in Tokyo) and he was very relaxed, as apart from those 4 nights he was on holiday. There were songs without microphone in the middle of the crowd, lots of song requests, reflections on life (and death), sake drinking and a small unplugged guitar. My favorite was maybe the Shibuya show, very intimate and emotional, with the most amazing version of Trusty and True I have ever heard.
There was no new song or any mention of a new album but a few unusual songs: Insane (requested by Mike and myself) in Nagoya, then again in Tokyo (without request), Then Go at the last show, Truth is not enough and a little portion of When Doves cry.
