"Alcatrazz is now touring Japan and has finished three shows in Tokyo/Osaka, and only the last gig in Sapporo is left now. Apparently the tour has been HUGE success so far! The tickets are all sold out, every venue is packed by about one thousand fans, and there have been hundreds of praiseful postings about the performance of new Alcatrazz to Japanese forums on the net every night. There were lots of people who were moved to tears when they finally listened to Alcatrazz playing their classics live after 23 years! Thank you so much to all the fans who came to see the shows and sang together with Graham! You ruled! Any pics and setlist? Yes, we will put them up together on this site after the tour is completed, so a little bit of patience is appreciated."
