The only thing in common here is that Specials and Killing Joke shows are both events, more like festivals than concerts, and that both will be remembered forever. I love them both, but at the same concert? Wow...

                   First time poster, longtime loyal. First saw the Joke in 83 t the Police Picnic in Toronto, Canada.
Joke, The Specials, English Beat, Joan Jett, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, and The Police headlining. I was 13, and
after hearing Geordie play the opening riff to Wardance, that was it. Through thick and thin I've followed the path, and even stepped 'Outside the gate' with the rest of you, but in th end it's all worth it to me.

                   Currently I'm in Seoul South Korea, and just found out in the last few weeks that KJ is playing Tokyo for two night. This already looks to be an ordeal. The plastichead dispatch says the 13, and 14th, at club Quatro.
Later the official myspace page says the 11, and 12th at different clubs. Then Pollstar has the dates set at the 13th and 14th at club Quatro. I don't know which end is up here (sounds familiar), and with the flight being $400, and the hotel being $200, I NEED to know the definite dates, and how the hell to get tickets. The club's site is all in Japanese, and they don't even have the show posted yet. It looks like an average sized club, and I'm NOT flying over to Japan, just to stand outside and stare at a 'Sold out' sign in the window..... Sorry for the long tirade here, but if
there's any other Jokers out here in Asia pacific, let me know if you're going, and if you know anymore than I do.
                   Does anyone know how to contact the management? I emailed the press rep, but so far nada......

                   Thanks again, and a big frothy pint to Cliff, and especially Alex for putting this together
