Harry, I always knew you wuz cool! Nightporter is a must in those smoky, dark jazz clubs. Sitting at the piano sucking on a gitanes whilst a sultry French woman pouts at the next table!!
I've always loved the old BBC footage (TOTP or OGWT) where Mick avoids playing the bass, despite being one of the best ever. Possibly apocryphal, but totally believable, that he learned all bass playing styles then taught himself to play them backwards to create the Mick Karn/Japan sound.

It separates 'em at parties. One for late on, when we're all feeling it. A select few go all misty-eyed, while most yawn and wonder when they can start dancing again to some sh*t record.

That's why I was shocked when it was listed. I've never heard of Japan playing there.

Wasted Youth Rock Garden had to go to Canning Town to see them one of the best gigs I'd been too

What an amazing list. Would love a time machine to see so many of those gigs! That's not a definite list though as I saw Cowboy Junkies at Coatham and that gig isn't listed there.there is no record of it on the Japan gig-ography list, or on the Coatham Bowl official gig list on facebook.
japan did support stints for Blue Oyster Cult (didnt play coatham) and jim capaldi (who did play coatham but with Motorhead)
Japan
1974 June 1, 1974 Mick Karn's brother's wedding (First Japan gig) 1975 April ?, 1975 Bunch of Grapes, London, ENG (Richard Barbieri had joined the group at this stage but was not yet playing live with them, so at this show Japan was a trio) 1976 February 14, 1976 Goldsmith's College, London, ENG...

I Second That Emotion was the song we stick on at parties as 14 year olds to get going with the girls lolIt separates 'em at parties. One for late on, when we're all feeling it. A select few go all misty-eyed, while most yawn and wonder when they can start dancing again to some sh*t record.

You and me both - can't even remember which ones I did go to.

They played the RG twice, 1st time supporting the Psychedelic Furs and then later headlining.
Pic is from the 2nd show.

It would have been well before 81. I saw them in 81 and they were headlining at much bigger venues in major cities rather than playing support slots then.

This is why I'm intrigued to know what year he said he saw them at the Bowl. Sorry, can't remember the name of the poster now!
A good friend saw them on the final world tour in Hong Kong... still has the tee shirt and still maintains it's the best gig he's ever been to!
