The show started off as the night before although was a little shorter than the first Tokyo show. 
Oxford Town, Teenage Wildlife and Baby Universal were all omitted. The basic set was the same 
other than that with the notable and excellent addition of My Death as the first encore. David sang 
the first part acapella which was absolutely stunning and totally unexpected. 

Silence echoed around the auditorium between his words, not a sound could be heard. The band
came on and played almost a jazz backbeat which then continued throughout the song. I personally 
thought this was much better than the European version.

Tonights renditions of Aladdin Sane and Lust For Life had a slight edge on the previous night, as 
did Diamond Dogs. 

The following encores of White Light White Heat and Moonage Daydream were electric, really 
vibrant and alive. To join him on All the Young Dudes Bowie introduced Hotei back to the stage 
as "one tall guy". He added some guitar and it was great to see the two performing together. 
Hotei's version of Starman was excellent during his set each night.
