I saw that tour in 1988 at the Wiltern theater in Los Angeles. It was, essentially, a religious experience for me. Barbieri and Jansen were of course there. The only one absent to complete the Japan line-up was Mick Karn. I got to meet Steve Jansen briefly after the show. I asked him if they would be playing the states more often and he said that if it were up to him, he would. (What did that mean?) Anyway, I think he was drunk by that point, but he was gracious enough to take a dorky fan photo with me. My "Trophies" lyric book from that tour is one of my most prized possessions. I don't care that they go for over $200 on eBay. Hey has anybody seen the film "Made in Sheffield"? It came out a couple of years ago and is all about the Sheffield music scene in England and early new wave music. I haven't seen it yet, but am curious how it is. |
