From David Regarding The Tour...

Talk about anything David Sylvian related.

And he also performed "Praise" as well on the last tour.
I've noticed that Sylvian does mention that a 'trio' will be backing him but he makes no mention of Takuma Watanabe. Any specifics known whether the keyboardist is in or out?
So it appears that he is basically doing scaled down renditions of selected songs from his entire career. Like a cross between the intimate retrospective Slow Fire tour and the career encapsulating Everything And Nothing tour. I suppose Sylvian didn't exactly wish for the relatively dour Fire In The Forest tour to be the final chapter of his touring history.

LOL! Thank you, sweetie. :-) That really is a nice shot, though; I wonder who took it?

I haven't looked at the page today, but since this gentleman was included on the tour page as of last night (albeit with no biographical data as yet), I am guessing he will still be in. But maybe this has changed since last night?

Feels great to go the first concert of the tour...no spoilers...no ideas about what the man is going to play. This is going to be such an emotional evening. Am I having too high expectations?

I thought that too. Especially with all the upset that's caused. As he's not touring "the world" I thought they would have changed the wording by now.
