Hello

[jon10g]

Hi. I am a new member here. I have been a guest for many years but finally joined last week.
I have been a fan of Japan and all things related since the early 80’s. I have seen David Sylvian live on 3 occasions. Big regret that I never saw Japan live. I collect ephemera related to David Sylvian and Steve Jansen.

Lucky! When did you see the Sylvian concerts? I'm just nosy, as Sylvian has different eras of music

Will check my gig records and let you know.

Welcome!
Although I collect the music of Japan and members since 1978 I only saw Richard Barbieri a couple of times live and David Sylvian and Steve Jansen twice (2001 and 2007). I regret not visiting the concerts he did in the nineteens; I did buy his albums, but when he came "to town" I was in a period I couldn't stand the atmosphere of his songs. I guess I was just in love and wanted to hear uplifting songs.

I’ve always liked his music throughout the years.
I truly regret not going to see Japan in Liverpool in 1982. Can’t remember why I didn’t!
Was very upset when he cancelled his last tour of the UK as I had front row tickets for the Manchester date!

It's nice that you guys got to see all the cool stuff

I feel for you missing the Japan concert, Jon. On the bright side, it's cool that you got to see David a bunch of times; I would take that as a big win! Although, I consider going to any concert a big win. I've never attended one once in my whole life

I am very thankful that I have seen him live.
