Crimson in Hiroshima

Tony Levin's road diary has been updated and features a few shots of the band's appearance in the city of Hiroshima. Jakko posted this via his Facebook page on December 15th: 

There are some shows when a song you sing regularly, inexplicably takes on an emotional resonance.
There was, however, nothing inexplicable about last nights performance.
Singing ‘Epitaph’ on stage in Hiroshima was understandably moving. Especially having spent an hour and a half at the Peace Memorial Museum and Gardens before soundcheck.
On a stage, in a theatre built but 2 minutes walk away from where the bomb dropped.
Extraordinary and unforgettable

Meanwhile here's some of Tony's photos...
