Steve @ Yukihiro's rehearsal in Tokyo with Jude standing behind them.

Jude's vid from the rehearsals - Jansen drumming nostalgics alert: hearing him construct his rhythms as he goes along is much like listening to Tin Drum on a more conventional drumkit.

Totally forgot to report that Steve did sing two songs at Yukihiro's concert in Dec - 'Now and Then' (the Beatniks' cover Steve did for Yukihiro's 60th anniversary album Red Diamond) and 'Stay Close', as well as drumming. Yukihiro will release the DVD of the whole concert. So really looking forward to seeing Steve singing too.

Steve's Now and Then starts from 2:30.
