I would have gone later and missed the support acts.

That sounds like Jamaican style, though even the supporting acts would start late 😄

I enjoy being backstage and seeing all taking place from that angle. For some reason even as a teen I would find my way backstage to see how things were set up and people would think I was part of the team and ask where someone was " Where is geefus" > " There he is"😄

Here in Japan I have been backstage a lot and talked and drank with the guest artistes. I once had this famous DJ from Jamaica outside the club hanging out and drinking like he was a local as we were talking backstage and went for some fresh air and chill on the corner Jamaican style. The promoter had to laugh and tell him to be less seen.

Funny that they are expanding to Japan, another 30 years (if we are still here and haven't burned the planet to a crisp) and Japan will have the life expectancy of Glasgow.

Not to mention Costco the food giant is expanding fast here. many Japanese love the "American Food"
