Made In Japan was partially recorded there and weve played there many times since. For such a large space, the acoustics are excellent; this special building never ceases to impress. On this particular evening, we came in at the back door, climbed the cool, marble staircase and entered the familiar dressing room. Feeling like were the only people in the building, its hard to believe theres even an audience out there. But there is, young and old, sitting patiently or chatting quietly the embodiment of civility. Its almost like the respectful hush one might find in a cathedral. But theyre here to rock. And rock they do. They may be quiet while theyre waiting but far from shy during the show. They gave us an unforgettable evening. Thank you, Tokyo. - Roger Glover
