Rainbow ║ │ │║ tunes "Death Alley Driver", and "I Surrender" ║ │ │║ followed, accompanied by a mass singalong from ║ │ │║ the audience. We then had "Stormbringer" with ║ │ │║ Joe on slide guitar (!). In a slot dedicated to ║ │ │║ Joe's solo career he sang "Challenge Them All", ║ │ │║ (a tune used in a TV commercial for a famous ║ │ │║ brand of Japanese beer) and then "Dark Days", a ║ │ │║ bonus track from the Japanese edition of his ║ │ │║ 2001 solo album "Slam". I particularly enjoyed ║ │ │║ hearing it played by the Highes Turner Project ║ │ │║ band. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Now it was Glenn's turn to take centre stage. ║ │ │║ First he hit the audience with "Mistreated", ║ │ │║ with Joe in support on backing vocals and slide ║ │ │║ guitar (he even took a short lead break). "No ║ │ │║ Stranger To Love", a track co-written with Tony ║ │ │║ Iommi for the 1985 "Seventh Star" album was also ║ │ │║ warmly welcomed. During "Can't Stop The Flood" ║ │ │║ (from Glenn's last studio album 'Building The ║ │ │║ Machine') the audience took the opportunity to ║ │ │║ sing along with the song, while I heard others ║ │ │║ scream out "Voice of God !!" ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The band line-up: ║ │ │║ Vocals_ Joe Lynn Turner ║ │ │║ Bass_ Glenn Hughes ║ │ │║ Guitar_ Akira Kajiyama ║ │ │║ Keyboard_ Toshio Egawa ║ │ │║ Drums_ Yoshihiro Kudo ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ I was struck throughout by Akira Kajiyama & Joe ║ │ │║ Lynn Turner's twin guitar work, and by Glenn & ║ │ │║ Joe's harmony vocals. It was immediately obvious ║ │ │║ that the superb backing vocals provided behind ║ │ │║ each other's lead singing was an integral ║ │ │║ feature of the band's sound. This was especially ║ │ │║ evident in the Hughes Turner Project track ║ │ │║ "Better Man" a personal favourite from the ║ │ │║ album. The harmonies were wonderfully soulful on ║ │ │║ this track (which is basically a very successful ║ │ │║ remake of 'Sail Away') and Joe once again played ║ │ │║ guitar as well as singing. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Another HTP track, "Ride The Storm" wrapped up ║ │ │║ the first half of the show, and lead in to some ║ │ │║ slower tempo material, beginning with the ║ │ │║ 'Slaves & Masters' opener "King Of Dreams". Joe ║ │ │║ continued with "Street of Dreams", one of the ║ │ │║ most popular Rainbow songs in Japan, accompanied ║ │ │║ by an audience who seemed to know all of the ║ │ │║ words!! It really showed how much the fans love ║ │ │║ the song. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Joe and Glenn pointing out a spotlight on the ║ │ │║ ceiling introduced, wait for it.. "Spotlight ║ │ │║ Kid" (pure cheese!...) The track drove the crowd ║ │ │║ wild! We were exhausted by the time that Joe ║ │ │║ ended the show with a few words in which he ║ │ │║ introduced the tour entourage, and thanked the ║ │ │║ promoter and record company. The five band ║ │ │║ members then joined hands, bowed and left the ║ │ │║ stage. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The 2002 HTP Japanese Tour ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ May 11th, Drum Logos, Fukuoka ║ │ │║ May 12th, Club Quatro, Hiroshima ║ │ │║ May 13th, Big Cat, Osaka ║ │ │║ May 15th, Bottom Line, Nagoya ║ │ │║ May 16th, Junk Box, Nagano, Japan ║ │ │║ May 17th, Club Quatro, Tokyo ║ │ │║ May 19th, Club Quatro, Tokyo ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ After some deafening audience noise calling for ║ │ │║ an encore, they reappeared, and dived straight ║ │ │║ into "Burn". The audience participation was ║ │ │║ almost enough to drown out the band! "Highway ║ │ │║ Star" followed with a major surprise, Joe Lynn ║ │ │║ Turner taking a guitar solo! The show drew to a ║ │ │║ close.s ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The band didn't come back for a second encore, ║ │ │║ instead the audience entertained themselves with ║ │ │║ an impromptu "Smoke On The Water". We simply ║ │ │║ didn't want the show to end, but 2 hours is ║ │ │║ planty long enough when compared to other rock ║ │ │║ shows in Japan these days. On top of that, it ║ │ │║ was pure undiluted class, with absolutely no ║ │ │║ wasted space.I hope that all HTP fans around the ║ │ │║ world get to enjoy this GREAT show. I would ║ │ │║ lilke to say THANKS to HTP!! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Devil's Road [06:11] │ │ 02 - You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll [04:45] │ │ 03 - Death Alley driver [04:22] │ │ 04 - I Surrender [04:11] │ │ 05 - Stormbringer [04:41] │ │ 06 - Dark days [03:58] │ │ 07 - Mistreated [09:16] │ │ 08 - Can't Stop The Flood [03:41] │ │ 09 - Better Man [06:01] │ │ 10 - Ride The Storm [04:04] │ │ 11 - King Of Dreams [06:45] │ │ 12 - Street Of Dreams [05:02] │ │ 13 - Spotlight kid [05:09] │ │ 14 - Against The Wall [04:37] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [72:43 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
