end of Australasia tour......

14.Apr.2010 16:48

I have just finished the first leg of my world tour.

We started off in Seoul and then Hong Kong, this is the first time I have played in either place. Great experiences playing there and the audiences were great……

We then went on to Australia where we played in 6 different cities. It felt to get some sunshine and warm weather, although not too much time for sunbathing as I had lots of press to do to promote new album. I did get half a day to have some fun in Sydney where we took a boat ride which was great and then we were spoilt and took a private plane to Brisbane courtesy of David Lowy. Shows were a great success and the band is getting tighter every day!

Tokyo was good fun as always. The people are so friendly and helpful and the shows went down really well. I found out when in Tokyo that Emotion & Commotion debuted at #1 in Japan on the Weekly International Album Sales Chart as well as being #1 on the US Amazon Chart and #10 in the UK mid week album chart. Not bad for someone who hasn’t put out an album in 7years!! I am so pleased that people like it……….

Off to start West Coast leg of tour ………..

Thanks for an amazing show (Paramount Theater, June 15). It was a joy to finally have the chance to witness the brilliant Narada powering your music in a live setting. I have listened to Wired maybe one hundred thousand times, or so. The energy of your new outfit is amazing. Thank you for bringing your music to your fans year after year. Love the new CD. Love, love, love.

Well it's been a long road for you Jeff and I am glad to see your getting the credit for your fantastic music.

I am also even happier to see you have gone back to VINYL RELEASES! and to see Ronnie Scotts on 180 GRAM no less. Fantastic.

Please Please !!!!! release all your Albums on 180 Gram re-mastered Vinyl, (Quntex if possible). Some of the old ATCO LP's were very poor quality. I will pre order today.

Thanks again Jeff.

Imelda and the band were spectacular.

Wish I could be there.

Very cool that the tickets were free, BUT you had to win them. They are there tonight, too.

enjoy.

I was disappointed about having to join Facebook to get in the drawing. I dragged my feet for about a week in defiance, but then joined Facebook and entered everyday. I didn't get into the show, but they let me into the after-party room upstairs. Can't help but wonder what might have happened if I'd joined Facebook right away, but it seemed to be largely industry-types and stars that got into the actual show. At least the night I went--which was last night. Actually turned out pretty cool the way Iridium worked it. I know it meant a lot to me. When I saw the people that got into the actual show, I knew I had no business getting in. A lot of super-talented/successful people were there, just hanging out. Real down to Earth. Loved it y'all!!!!

Wish I could of won some of those tickets, sounded like it was an awesome show. Can't wait to see the DVD, did a lot of songs I would love to see, like Remember (Walkin' In The Sand) and Apache.

Thanks very much for the link. :)

Hi Jeff, I saw you last night at Wolf Trap. I'm still reeling from the experience. I'll never be able to put into words what an effect you had on me. Your final song, the aria made famous by Pavarotti, was so amazing, and so incredibly moving, as were all the songs you played. Your band members are just superb. I was also touched that someone gave you a bouquet of flowers, and you passed them to a woman in the first row. I was on the lawn dancing and jumping up and down, as were so many others around me. I read that you're a vegetarian -- so am I! That's what helps keep you so ageless and so graceful. Thank you Jeff, I'll remember last night for the rest of my life.

At Wolf Trap, the most beautiful, sickest aural pleasure , just stunning! Appreciate the nods to Les Paul and Sly Stone. Kudos to the musicians, they are on-board with you and shoveling coal into a blazing engine! You are a blessing!

Hi Jeff,

A great show last night at Wolf Trap. Narada was absolutely inspiring!

Most of all, I thought "How High The Moon" was a beautiful touch. What a fitting way to honor the Wizard.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful music over the years. Your music really has changed my life.

Best wishes,
Bruce McDiffett
