There was an opening performance by the band named BAN BAN BAZAR, Japanese acoustic swing quintet. They played about 30 minutes, and then Dan & the group showed up. Set List: 1.Canned Music 2.How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away 3.Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy 4.Topsy/Swing '42 5.I Scare Myself 6.Payday Blues 7.I Feel Like Singing 8.My Cello 9.Buzzard Was A Friend 10.I Get the Neck Of the Chicken -intermission- 11.Milk Shakin' Mama 12.Old Black Magic 13.Strike It While It's Hot 14.Comes the Love(?) 15.Where Is the Money? 16.Piano Has Been Drinking 17.How High the Moon 18.Hell,I'd Go 19.Shootin' Straight 20.Long Comma Viper 21.End Of Love Affair Encore: 1.4 or 5 Times 2.Up,Up,Up Maybe the personnel of Hot Licks and Lickettes were the same as U.S.live show,but I didn't get the name of the bass player.  He played the bass and DID Japanese Translations.  Dan: "Buzzard was a friend",What's said in Japanese? Bass player: "Hagetaka wa tomodachi da". Dan: I don't think so. Dan played snare drum with pair of brushes on few songs. Famous "Be,Be Beatin' the Heat" Harmony by the Lickettes was changed a lot. ("He,He,Heatin' the Beat","He,He Heatin' the Feet" etc...) If there were no difficulty of the language, we'd have enjoyed the show much much more. The worst thing was that many of the people applauded as encore when the first set was over.  It got me sick! Anyway,the show was very precious and fantastic to me.  Do you think how many times can you see Dan's live for the rest of your life when you're Japanese and don't live in the U.S.?
