Below is the setlist for the gig at Pasifico Main Hall, Yokohama. This was the last leg of the Japan Tour. The sound was brilliant, a lot batter than at Budokan. However, Pacifico Main Hall is a new building with plush seats. So while the sound was great, the atmosphere didn't feel much like a rock concert.

As for the setlist, no suprises. I was hoping we might get Bloodsycker or No No No, but it wasn't to be. THe list was the same as for the Budokan concert, although the performance was much better. (Although this may be partly due to the better acoustics, Steve Morse and Roger Glover seemed more relaxed, and sharper than at Budokan. Ian, Jon, and Paicey were there usual brilliant selves.)
