Wanted Wednesday: January 5, 1991 (Nagoya, Japan)

Please rise for the playing of our national anthem.

So I have a boot that's purported to be from "today" back in 1990 (Wembley) but I didn't want to start off the new year with a "Maybe this is right". The bootleg I have from "Wembley" has 23 tracks. Any setlist I've found for that date (and admittedly, I didn't look more than 10 minutes) has only a handful of songs listed. If someone has a 'real' setlist from this date, that'd be great.

Putting a pin in THAT one for now, today's track is still from This Week back in 1991, just tomorrow, not today.

There's no long intro; the track starts in with those four notes we all know so well. It sounds (to me anyway) that it's a little slow; just half a beat or so, so initially I thought the boot was damaged. But Jon's voice sounds just right, so I guess it's just a slower, lazier version.

 It's alright (sorry wrong song) -- the lazy strumming brings to mind the guys kicking back on a couple of high-top stools just leaning into every strum. A very nice mental image, if I do say so myself.

Let's Ride!

Happy New Year!

Jon Bon is looking tanned, rested, and gorgeous as he and the fam wrap up their vacation in St. Barts (a guess on my part on the "wrap up", as most schools have started back by now).

  

  

  

  

  
MY New Year's wasn't even close to that lovely :)  I've been battling a head cold, but it's winning and currently laying siege to my lungs.  Dammit.  Every winter I go through the same thing, so you'd think I'd learn by now to start OD'ing on the Vitamin-C around Christmas time, but NOOO...  (lol)

Ah well.  I hope everyone's holidays were wonderful, and that 2012 brings you all only GOOD things.
