21-11-1979 Metropol, Mittwoch

Post by dan-electro »

I noticed that this gig should be listed as 21-11-1979 Metropol Theatre, Berlin. The Mittwoch indicated on the ticket scan is actually the day of the week (Wednesday). :wink:

I know, the long winter nights just fly by in East Kent :lol: I've been bottling that up for nearly 30 years and last night I just :smt073
I wish I was at that gig, the band at their peak, had to wait another 2 years before I was allowed to go and see them :smt013

Nothing, great thread, a classic intro that deserves analysis by people in the know (judging by Burtinblack's drum cover thread he's the man to ask about "5 Minutes"). I noticed Jim adjusted that gig listing, I can now sleep at night!! :smt015
