Shinbun wa kaki tateru…
DB’s final Japanese show, (for the time being at least) at the Castle Hall in Osaka has ended, and BowieNetter Celine was there yet again to get the set list and a couple of great shots for us.
According to Celine, among the highlights this evening was a Stylophone freak out which the band joined in with to a marvellously cacophonic effect… and that DB enjoyed so much, they performed it again!
There was also lots of amusing interaction from David as ever, but I can’t help thinking lines like: “Earl Slick spends a lot of time in Japan as he works in a Japanese restaurant, but not a Nobu!”, may be lost on a certain percentage of this audience… I could be wrong.
A similar set to the last Tokyo show and a jolly good one at that. 28 songs in total, sent in by Celine, double-checked as usual by Luis and Lydia and officially confirmed by Handsome Nick B:
