Hi all,
We certainly don't seem to be heading in the direction of
a weekly newsletter again, even monthly looks hard enough, but
we're still alive !!
Again, please write, share your thoughts, send concert
reviews, etc. I have to thank my good friend Jasper Smit of the
Continental Caravan Campaign in the Netherlands for getting us a
review of Caravan's recent Japanese concerts from one of his local
correspondents. I am also waiting to hear from someone who saw the
recent Gongzilla tour in Germany, with both Moerlen brothers
reunited. Thank you very much on behalf of those among us who
couldn't be there - and there are many among us !!
Apart from that, this issue will consist mostly of concert
dates. Many fine albums have come out, both new releases and
reissues, particularly on Voiceprint. I will review some of them
in due time, but you are of course welcome to submit reviews too !
Thanks for your support,
Aymeric

Opening of the concert was "All The Way" and "Very Smelly,
Grubby Little Oik" continuously. Both songs are from the album
"Blind Dog At St.Dunstans". I was surprised at this gentle and
beautiful start - because these two songs are not known in Japan
compared to famous songs like "For Richard" , "Nine Feet
Underground" and so on. But I love these songs - I think they are
'hidden' masterpieces. Then the whole audience amused themselves
singing along to the chorus of the following song, "Liar".
The first set closed with "Nine Feet Underground" -
in Japan too, this song is one of their most popular pieces. On
the album "Land Of Grey And Pink", Richard Sinclair sings the
vocal part of the latter half of this song. Obviously, Jim
Leverton undertakes the same part nowadays. I think that his voice
has other charms. Do you think so?
Since I had been aspiring to see Caravan in concert for so
long, the first set seemed to end in no time. Thankfully, after a
while, the band members came back to the stage.
The first song of the 2nd set was a medley of some of
their most famous numbers - "Where But For Caravan Would I?", "The
Mad Dabsong", "The Love In Your Eye" and more were played one by
one. Unbelievable ! But true excitement came towards the end, the
moment that song changed "Backwards" to "A Hunting We Shall Go"
was the absolute climax of the evening.
The following song was a new tune called "No Way to Hide".
The song was good, like cooling down the fever; it will be put on
the upcoming new album.
I was impressed with Pye's gentle vocals in "Nightmare" -
Pye is the face of Caravan as I expected.
And last tune of "2nd set" was "For Richard". When you say
the name Caravan, most people will think of this song ! There were
the highest emotions between the band and audience. The moment the
concert finished, the applause and the shouts of joy, like a big
storm, gushed out in the concert hall.
It never stopped - because we wanted an encore. Caravan
came back on stage again and played more two songs for the
audience.
Their stage was never luxury, but each member of the band
is
familiar with his own part. They were excellent adult
band. A big thank you to the Caravan guys for the big, big emotion
that you brought to us !!
Sincerely yours
Mitsunori Morita
