Back when I was younger, I loved to go to concerts. Stones, Grateful Dead, etc. Somehow, I met an Asian who then introduced me to as Japanese student who then talked me into visiting Japan in the late 90s. There, I’d go to two concerts: Oasis and Alanis Morissette.
I remember my ears ringing for at least 3 days after each concert. It was a blast though. I don’t remember any beer, but I remember getting semi drunk before going and that I had to walk a good distance to get there the first time. The second time I went was about the same for the ears, but I felt like my ears were officially done with live concerts. Haven’t been to anything other than EDM, but that’s outdoors and far away from the speakers.
You know it was so liberating to discover all the relaxed alcohol laws in the 90s. Mike, why didn’t you just put the alcohol like Vodka in a water bottle? I seem to recall that you could get away with stuff like that.
Maybe 10 years ago -+ a guy I used to hang with back in the old country was a sound engineer and he sent me a message he was doing the mains for Judas Priest there. I got to sit at the main sound board, meet the band, hang.....sounded great from there.

No. If my memory serves me well it was supposed to be their last ever world tour. good marketing haha
On a side note, maybe 20 years ago I crashed their gig at Sun plaza in Nakano. I got there around 4pm and just walked in. There was a line waiting toi get in but I just acted like I was in the band. No one stopped me but people in line were yelling stuff so I waved hahaha. Just went to the sound board and listened to sound check. I didn't know anyone but it wasn't RH. It was the young replacement guy Ripper Owens who was just unbelievable. Listened to 2-3 songs and left. Sound guy wasn't all that friendly. KK wasn't in the mood.....he was acting like a cunt who I'd heard was always like that. Snuck in to a "Foreigner" show too once....oh and one CTrick show too. Back in the day it was easy to do that here for me anyways.

yes I suppose that if it was at Nakano Sun Plaza, it wasn't during their best years… cool story anyway and thanks for sharing . You really have the right look and attitude to look like a band member I guess!

Seen a few hundred gigs in Japan but only one at Budokan.
Kiss in 2003
I do believe I saw the second of many farewell tours Kiss has been doing the last 20 years and some. Very bland performance it must have been since I remember very little even though I didnt drink that evening.
