Japan Live Tour 1999
Report and Set list
by Yoko
I come back to my home in Friday.
I can not do anything without just remember about the tour.
Yngwie's Japan tour get great success I think.
I receive many massage from very impressed fans.
So many Japanese fans get big impression from great stage, Yngwie's
miracle play and his honesty to the fans and highest level guitar play,
Marks great talent and tremendous powerful voice.
Mark sing an aria from the Puccini opera "Nessun dorma" and all audience
feel it's great of the great, some fans have tears on eye by extra
emotion come from this aria.Everybody say the same word, best play of Yngwie, best song, best vocal,
Best of the best live in Japan in history.
And also, many fans hope they get back Japan again at the end of
millennium (Alchemy) tour, I definitely agree with them.

22. LiarThis was the greatest show in this Japan tour.
Yngwie play was so exciting wonderful and unbelievable, all of the
audience knockdown by the complete and much more trilling play than the
album of full Alchemy tunes. It's becomes a legend already.
Of course the most wonderful story from the fans voice about this show
was Yngwie Drum play (it's looks like Ian or Cozy) and Mark's
tremendous vocal solo.
Set list of old trilogy tunes makes fans very happy and exciting, the
same time old Deep purple tune smoke on the water (I guess it's a
happening tune by Yngwie) makes audience becomes so crazy. In addition
this day's sound balance was wonderful.

Special event is Yngwie play "Ack Varmland du Skona" (Swedish classic folk) insted of Adagio, it&s so beautiful tune.
Yngwie play was so great but this days audience was very quiet and shy.
Yngwie looks feel patience with this.
Show was great small accident is drum battle can't start after the Drum solo but Yngwie and audience enjoy with great drum battle after the wonderful Vocal solo.
The sound balance was not enough good, 2nd floor was much better, worst but it's not a matter of sound engineer I think.

19. LiarThis day's special was Yngwie play very beautiful Japanese tune "Kojyo No Tsuki" into the guitar solo, he plaied first stage just before 14 years before, very old fans feel so emotional and feel into the good memory. Some people say it's a best show that they ever saw Yngwie stage.
The show time looks little bit short but band play is very tight, good
combination, good sound and very good vocal voice, Yngwie play no miss
take and wonderful high speed. Some audience think they must buy the
other remaining show.

19. LiarI was not in there but by the voice from audience, Yngwie play is very
best and so wonderful, only unhappy was Mark voice condition was not good
by the smoke machine makes very bad air on some tune and Yngwie get angry at "Wield My Sword" of miss matched tempo with guitar and drum (and Vocal) but it's a very small trouble.
The audience feel how a great composer Yngwie is and how a great singer
Mark is.
Randy and Mats are very good and John is powerful, too.
Many fans think Mark is the most important band member for the Yngwie,
only his great talent makes to enhance Yngwie's great song and great play.
