Finally, the GIPSY KINGS JAPAN TOUR 2000 has started from Fukuoka on May 11. I just came back from Tokyo. The GK were soooooo GREAT!!!! Nicolas' voice was really soulful and powerful, and Tonino's guitar playing technic was quite perfect!!! I can say that their lives were both fantastic!!! The audience was so excited and the GK members were all very cheerful. I was so glad that Tonino played "Inspiration", which I love the most! Anyway, I had the greatest time of my life!!! They are playing in Sendai tonight, in Nagoya on 5/16 and the final stage is in Osaka on 5/17. I hope they will play in Japan every year....... Here is their playing list: 5/11 Fukuoka Sun-palace:
GK Members (L. to R.): Paul, Andre, Nicolas, Tonino, Patchai, Georges, Canut
Part 1
Encore: Bamboleo! (by Nicolas) 5/13 Tokyo International Forum: Difference: Intermission - 25min. *13. Oy (by Canut, Andre and Nicolas) Chieko Utsunomiya
I went to the last concert in Osaka. That was so great !! The playing list was the same as the one in Tokyo as Chie reported.. I put some comments on the songs they did. 8. Todos Ole (by Patchai) was the same as the one contained in Los Reyes-Gipsy Legend. 11. Campana Suena (New song by Andre) was also the same as "Solo Dire" in Ricao's album "Angelitos Negros". I believe this song was composed by Manolo. Junichi S.
Unfortunately, Michael was not there. Junichi S.
