moe. opened its Japan tour on Wednesday night at Club Quattro Osaka. Given the difference in time zones (for instance, Japan is now 14 hours ahead of New York), the show is already complete. The group opened quite fittingly with “Captain America” which led into “Sticks and Stones.” Then, following “Crab Eyes,” the group offered a segued run that included “Haze,” “Not Coming Down,” “Wormwood” and “St. Augustine.” The second set began with “Billy Goat” which led into “Mar-Dema” and “George.” The after “Lost Along the Way” the band closed things out with a move from “Bullet” into “Plane Crash.” It was an early night for the group (which may have aided any lingering travel fatigue), as the official setlist below indicates that a hard curfew of 10PM was in place. On Thursday the group will appear at Club Quattro Naka-ku.
