Godiego chronology

Live in China (中国后醍醐, Chūgoku Godaigo, pinyin: Zhōngguó Hòutíhú) is Godiego's second live album. It is a recording of Godiego's concert in Tianjin, China. The concert was the first rock concert performed in China, and it was broadcast simultaneously in China and Japan on January 1, 1981.[1] The album cover was specially designed with yellow text on a red background, with all credits and song titles written in simplified Chinese. "Godiego" was even written as 后醍醐. Most of the songs were performed in English, with some songs partially in Japanese and others partially in Mandarin. Godiego also performed "Gandhara" (ガンダーラ, Gandāra, 犍陀罗), "The Road of Silk and Spice" (シルク・アンド・スパイス, Shiruku Ando Supaisu, 丝绸与香料之路), "Pomp and Circumstances" (組曲:威風堂々, Kumikyoku: Ifū Dōdō, 組曲:威风堂堂), and "Happiness" (ハピネス, Hapinesu, 幸福) in Tianjin, but these songs did not make the album cut.

gollark: They might be. You're only seeing the best/most important people around on Earth, who are more likely than average to have bloodlines.

gollark: It would be interesting to know exactly why the "system" is way more concerned with human-recognizable things than our laws of physics, and also why basically everyone is humanlike mentally despite entirely different evolutionary paths. Unfortunately, all the fictional things I know in this sort of setting just handwave it.

gollark: Ideally, pylon-of-civilization-hunting von Neumann machines, but those might not be practical yet.

gollark: The obvious solution to this """voting"" is to send really fast people out to gather all pylons of civilization and move them to a central base.

gollark: Yes. This is a good idea. I don't like it.
