The Milk in Tokyo, Japan
April 2, 1997
Fan Recaps and Comments:
During "Dig My Grave", a crowd surfer knocked into John Flansburgh's microphone, causing it to slam against his mouth and chip a tooth.[1] John Linnell spoke about the incident in an interview with the Tallahassee Democrat a week later:
The guy was very sorry about it, and came up to us after the show to tell us he didn't have any control over the situation. But that [crowd surfing] doesn't usually happen in Japan. It's utterly commonplace in America. The whole surfing thing started around '89 or '90, so it's been going on for a while. I don't know what they're doing or why they're doing it though.
Review by Naoyuki, from the tmbg.org fan mailing list:
- Hello There!
- "They" played in Tokyo on 1st and 2nd April, and I went to both shows. I don't remember correctly what songs "they" played on the first day, however the setlist for the second day is unforgotten because I got a setlist sheet which "they" had actually used after the show. The sheet describes how the show went on...
- NYC ; Rhythm ; Pet Name ; Particle Man ; The Guitar -> SEXXY ; Polk ; Bird ; "Long Strong Latin" ; No One ; Twist ; Shoe ; METAL ; Sing ; Purple ; Ensor ; Replacemnts ; Older/Sleepin' ; Til ; Spy ; Istanbul ; I Can Hear ; Where/Dig
- "MILK", where "they" played on the second day, was such a small club that "they" were playing exactly in front of me. John F let a few people in the audience including me play his guitar, and I got a gut that he cut on the stage. I was absolutely exited during the show. [...]
- P:S.: A fuckin' ass-hole dove onto the stage when "they" were playing "Dig My Grave" on the second day. John F got mad at him and left the stage in the middle of the song. This is why I could not talk with "them" on the second day.
