I still wonder why is there so many policemen in Luxemburg...?
I have no idea, but I do know they're very high on security. :?

The venue is that rather small red & grey building just in front of the disused factory.

You mean this old factory oposite to main entrance to Rockhal?
I've taken some pictures outside.
I can say all goods things about local police there, they gave me a lift and even brought my mobile phone which I've lost in police car.
Very gentle :notworthy:
And the kissing and the colours come crushing down

I remember you very well. I was right next to you and talking to Albérick when the police brought your mobile. 8)

Hello Heartlanders,

Thought I'd finally register and post some thoughts on the Luxembourg gig which I thoroughly enjoyed last weekend.

The gig was a good one - sound was good ( :von: voice seemed a little quiet to start with but seem to be fixed by Doctor Jeep), lots of smoke and pretty colours which made you go "Woooooh"....errr possibly.

Highlights for me were Susanne, Neverland and Top Nite Out - the aforementioned pole dancing was very entertaining, I'm pretty sure Chris patted :von: on the head whilst he was crouching, anyone confirm this or was I hallucinating from too many Diekirch beers?

The Luxembourg police have a reputation for being heavy-handed so it was good to see them showing their nice side at the gig. Not sure they needed 10 squad cars full of police for the gig though.

Finally the rockhal website has added a picture gallery for the gig, its available at - http://gallery.rockhal.lu/SoM (hope this link works!). I'll add this link to the sticky as well.

I was hesitating between going to various gigs (most of the German venues appeared in the list, and all Scandinavian). If I had more money I'd have gone to all of them but sadly I had to choose something. It was a difficult choice, but this old factory put Esch on top of the list. 8)
And the gig was lovely too. :D

So has anybody happened across any :innocent: recordings :innocent: of the Lux gig? Or was Badlander just being a tease earlier in the thread?

Paul did record the gig, but he usually trades, not weed.
Clicky.
