[kj] tokyo Report - Voice of Jaz

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

Hi-
 
Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. Even with Jaz's new-found health and vigor, I have to wonder at what point in this tour will he inevitably lose his voice, a la Denver - Milwaukee during the 2004 US tour and Cleveland  - Kansas City in 1994?
 
My money is somewhere between Milan and Berlin. Not trying to be a buzzkil; just anticipating the scenario based on consistent historical precedents.
 
I was actually at the (infamous) Milwaukee show in '04 and the next night in Minneapolis, and the difference was remarkable. I assume Jaz has some extraordinary recuperative powers or a personal physician with good drugs.
 
Anyway, this is a shorter tour with some decent gaps for rest, so I've got my fingers crossed for NYC and Chicago, both of which I'll be attending. I've never really met any serious fans in Minneapolis, so it'll be a pleasure to meet some of you and buy you a beer or six.
 
Also, thanks to Tim for the Tokyo recaps - I remain curious about the venue and the crowd response. Any good anecdotes once you've decompressed would be appreciated.
