Heartbreaker (Live) - Japan

[@kevinsturges6957]

I’ve never heard this. Wow, very good take on this song. A “Japan” glam spin on a classic Stones song. Nice. It’s good to hear David speaking to the audience with an attitude too.

Mostly thanks to all that c0ke

Oh boy! I was there as a 15 year old old. First rock concert I ever attended. My mom asked my older sister if it was OK for a 15 year old boy to go to Paradiso alone. Sis said yes, I went see Japan. They just broke with Adolescent Sex in Holland. This song was towards the end, or the encore. Strangely enough, when I next asked if I could go see the Stranglers my mom said no.....

That must be amazing

[@indigojones8]

Gelukkig! Would have loved to have seen them at Paradiso for any album! Love how clear Mick's bass is.

[@amaninamsterdam9016]

Ha! I was there :-)

[@Andybaby]

WOW!! Thank you! What a weird combination of punk vocals, funk rhythms, and occasional metal riffs early Japan were! Mr Batt has certainly changed his accent over the years

[@Maxiclaudi]

Thanks for this gem, I never realised they played Paradiso too!

[@lorenauk]

Thanks so much for that treasure MoodyB :)

[@danavixen6274]

Thank you Moody B. Amazing how this parallels with what is going on currently.

[@moodyb]

You're welcome! :-)

[@danavixen6274]

+moodyb I wish there were more bold bands like Japan and Living Colour nowadays. This is music that withstands the tests of time. Not about making a hit but making a statement.

[@danavixen6274]

moodyb Do you foresee wider releases of the unreleased versions of David's Ride from the Dutch sessions or Lying with You anytime soon? If so let me know ☺

[@moodyb]

Never say never! ;-) There will, however, be something coming along very shortly!

[@danavixen6274]

@@moodyb 4 years later, this song still rings true! 😔

[@Theworldaroundme13]

awesome!

[@markkeogh18]

Great to hear this. On the subject of bootlegs etc, might anyone have a copy of the 1982 live bootleg that features an interview with Sylvian and Jansen? I'd really love to hear it. Might moodyb have it up his sleeve?

[@mindhead2005]

What show? I might have it

[@gr4cezd_]

HEARTBREAKA!

[@indigojones8]

Was this the main hall or the smaller upstairs section? I ask this as someone who has only been to Paradiso in the 2000s. I was a 7-year-old in Florida at the time this was recorded. ;)

@tecdessus Completely!

[@gd2sheds58]

Oh dear, you probably had to be there

[@metalmickey777]

David, you don't talk like that

[@moodyb]

Not anymore! ;-)
