Eddie Jobson, whose Four Decades Tour (EJ4D) in North America had to be cancelled for lack of ticket sales, has found fertile ground in Japan for this special tour concept and master class. To paraphrase what Jobson wrote when cancelling the American solo tour, such is the marketplace.
Well, the Japanese marketplace has spoken and has been rewarded. Prior to the start of the Four Decades shows in Japan, Eddie has added a very special performance at Club Citta on November 8. For the first time ever, both the debut UK album, as well as the Danger Money album will be performed in their entirety by UK - Eddie Jobson, John Wetton, Alex Machacek, and Marco Minnemann. After that one-off show, Minnemann will be staying on for the remainder of the Japanese tour, meaning that four of the original members of UKZ will be on stage together!
The tour dates are:
UK performing UK and Danger Money in their entirety:
November 8: Club Citta, Tokyo, Japan
EJ4D with Sonja Kristina (Curved Air), John Wetton (UK), Aaron Lippert (UKZ), Marco Minnemann (UKZ), and others:
November 9: Club Citta, Tokyo, Japan
November 10: Club Citta, Tokyo, Japan
November 11, Club Citta, Tokyo, Japan
November 12, Namba Hatch, Osaka, Japan
And last but not least, UK will do two performances on the Cruise to the Edge between April 7-12, 2014!
