Notes (from 5H):
Unique venue with seats slanted like a steep movie theater and a center walkway splitting the upper and lower areas. The upper level was completely empty and there is a very small crowd (between 1,000-2,000?). Unusual setlist, i.e., 'Immortality' as a second song and 'Corduroy' in the second encore. A rare quiet opening few songs with very little chat but some different guitar arrangements toward the end of 'Of The Girl' and 'Immortality.' Ed thanks the crowd in Japanese ("arigato") at the end of 'Cropduster' and introduces Jeff and Mike. The crowd shouts out various things (probably requests) and Ed tries to hear them and says they don't understand that much Japanese.
After 'Black,' Ed says, "This is probably the least amount of people we've played to in quite a long time; it's also the best it's felt in quite a long time." He adds, "Soundcheck didn't feel good at all but once you guys were here, it's been great." And, noting it is the first show in Japan, "We forgot how early you're supposed to start so we feel like we should play up until about 11:30 ... and I think some of the folks must have come from work 'cause I see more ties than usual. I think if you wear the same clothes tomorrow, you'll be all right. They won't even notice."
The crowd provides absolute silence for the start of 'Soon Forget,' which is near-perfect. Boom takes a big solo in 'Crazy Mary.' 'Porch' is a big closer, with Ed chanting, "Hey, ho - let's go," near the end.
Technically well-executed, performance before a crowd that may seem somewhat reserved in terms of making noise (and following the no smoking, no screaming, etc. rules), but make up for it with movement to the music.
