Set List
Ali-Ollie's 2nd. Japan tour as solo.
This time, he could brought his own band as he was dreaming, so he looked so full of fight more than in 1997.
The back band sounds much better than last year, especially the guitarist Darrell W. Crooks a.k.a. T.T. looked understanding Ali's music so deeply and was supporting his performance very well.
And there's no deny that Ali-Ollie fascinated all the audience every night in spite of the hard tour schedule (2 shows for each night).
I was surprised at and enjoyed the song "Love & Happiness" which I didn't expect.
But the song list was still only from hit songs medley of Temps & covered son, so next time, I expect his Japan tour which include many original songs from his "solo album" !!!
Also it's so disappointed that this tour wasn't held in Tokyo.
