50 | TOKYO

STUDIO COAST 21.01.06

The new year begins, and finds the Road to Rouen tour in Japan. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the long haul flight from Heathrow and drunken affray from 'Van' Goffey. Managed to avoid the full effects of jet lag/hotel room paranoia by escaping to Tsukiji Market with the Bungay Kid at 5.00 a.m. Strange gig at Studio Coast but nice set from the Dead 60's before us.

       
Siberian mountains   And on the other side, sure looks cold down there   Only an hour and a half to go   Tokyo Tower from a speeding car
