2011-08-12 Sonicmania Festival - Tokyo, Japan
I went with a big group of fellow Japanese dirts/friends and everyone had a great time!
My first impression is that the show was pretty amazing! Karl's energy was high and the crowd went crazy! I particularly liked the set list. However, I found out today (looking through the forums) that it was the same exact same set as the one they played at the Main Square Festival in France last month. Nevertheless, I felt the song choices were good, the transitions were excellent, and they did a lot of improve with almost every song. KOS especially stood out. They kept bringing the base drum in/out (teasing the audience) and the buildup at the end was amazing!
Setlist :
Rez/Cowgirl
Pearl's Girl
Everybody Jack
Always Loved A Film
Push Upstairs (remix)
Between Stars
Spikee (shorter, but nice how they dropped it in)
Two Months Off
Scribble
Nu Train
King Of Snake
Born Slippy .NUXX
Overall, I would have to say that this was one of the better UW shows I've seen in Japan, second only to the Electraglide 2005 show!
