Tom Jones recommends plenty of honey and water to keep the vocal chords in
tip top order.

  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.

  Ok, please forgive the cock ups, i`m half pissed, half estatic.

  The only way to be taken by Killing Joke is BY THE THROAT

  Tonight....

  We had JOY
  There was an Exorcisim
  We did our Mathamatics of Chaos
  We got hit with an Asteroid
  We were treated like Kings and Queens
  We had some Extremities
  We turned to red until we were recieving
  There was another wardance
  And we topped it off with a whole lot of pandemonium
  Theres more i need to rember once sober

  Big Paul was a FUCKING ANCHOR!
  Fucking galloped he did

  Wait till you hear bpf do the Pandemonium stuff!

  Tore me a new arsehole they did!

  Paul said it was `adequate warts and all`, but on this end the warts were
barely visable
  Another amazing thing was Jaz and Paul singing together on the first ep
stuff
  Sadly no new songs, BUT with Killing Joke you dont get what you want, but
you get what you deserve

  must try to sleep now and overcome the pandemonium

  call me a liar now, but you just wait.......

  love all - Tim in Korea
