Thanks for the links, Meyrav. I wonder who that is playing sax on "Second That Emotion", looks like a woman from the back?

Absolutley brilliant!!! I've never seen anything from the last show and I still can't quite believe what I've just seen - a panda on stage with Mr S!!! :D Thanks Moodyb and Meyrav!!!!

The sax player is Jane Shorter who was a full time music student that they hired so that Mick could play bass on tour - at least thats what it says in this article on the Nightporter site....

The final show looks like an end of year school party-with all the human puppets walking around the stage, the champagne, and everyone is so happy and singing together with Mick including John Penter(correct me if i'm wrong).
Also i love the way David head butting the puppet at the beginning :smt033

I think that if I was there i would've cry so hard, cause it's so sad it's all over :smt089 I wouldn't care they tried to make it look happy.

That video from the last show is soooo funny!
At a certain point I thought it was Paul McCartney playing the bass, Mick wobbles his head just like him! :lol: Brilliant.

Is this the last, last, last ever show Japan did? Wow if so...and also...yeah...pandas....hmmm....one of my favourite animals AND Japan together? All my dreams have come true....Now I just have to try and find that elusive Metallica and Chinchila collaboration...

It wasn't working before, probably the fault of my supersonic 10 year old computer. I commented it on youtube two days ago, it's an incredible live performance, my favorite of that song :)

Meyrav - thanks for that. Yes he does walk off very very fast. Probably scared that the panda might turn vicious at any moment because of a lack of bamboo (geddit? bamboo? the Japan fanzine 'Bamboo'? No? oh ok...)

You're very much welcome indeed!
Now if I can find the disc, I'll post more from the final show, I had wanted in particular to post Fall In Love With Me, complete with the ping pong balls...Yes, really,ping pong balls!

Glad you are all enjoying the clips!
I just added Preparations From A Journey yesterday too.

Best wishes,
Chris

Oh my ping pong balls?? Synchronised ping pong balls?

LOL best band evah.

Needless to say I really, really hope you find the disc because I think that sounds like the best Japan clip ever, no matter what I said about the last show one with the panda costume and the clown.

Although I said as much on YouTube THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH for putting these things up.

:D :D

I saw Preparations on a Journey last night and was gonna comment there but I may as well here as all I wanted to say was TANKS. My favourite thing was how much mileage Sylvian got out of the mesmerisingly beautiful koi carp... :D

:D :D

Apologies for going all hysterical and smiley face there but these things make me THAT happy :D :D
