Well, don't know about any plans for after-show party, but if anyone ready for drink, let me know. Don't know if I will be able to manage pre-show drink, probably will run fast directly from work
Btw, the venue is very close to city centre, it shouldn't be problem to find it even with a little help of some pre-show drinks
..and for sure, here is pre-show interview, probably noticed in Sisters Chat, but anyway...

I'm definitely up for some aftershow drinks Petr, so you (or anyone else) reccommend anywhere nice in the old town? Ideally somewhere that sells cider if it's available in Prague
Posted: 28 Mar 2009, 13:35
Me too, but normal, strong beer for me please, not beer for children.

Great! Best cider pub 
in the area is probably this one http://www.tlustakoala.cz/kontakt_en.php . Nothing special, but quite a big one with good menu, reasonable prices AND opening hours till 4.00 am 
It's only 5-7 minutes walk from concert venue, depending on the strenght of your thirst...
To be honest, don't have idea about some "suitable" music club or music pub and don't have idea about any afterparty - suspect there will be none, but maybe I'm right...
Another option is pub with slightly better beer (Pilsner Urquell), in the very centre of the town (few rolls from Wenceslas Square), but a little bigger distance (cca 15 minutes by walk). This one, unfortunately only in Czech http://www.hospodalucerna.cz/index.php?sekce=akce
And, also the venue (Archa Theatre) has its bar, small, but on the spot
Then?

lucerna is great. we went there before the ton gig two years ago. have fun people
Posted: 02 Apr 2009, 08:34
it's strange, but probably none shared his views by now, so let's go:
- generaly good show, slightly above average
- sound was lower again, mainly in first half, but when standing in cca 4th row was it OK, and also when you did expect it...
- almost same setlist as in Poland (don't remember exact order, will check it with my memory), i.e. Giving Ground instead of Floorshow, but with one pleasant exception - ROMEO DOWN instead of Something Fast as first song of first encore
- and again: no break between encores
- some technical problems during FALAA, Catalyst's guitar went down and maybe more, Von took it with smile, after cca 5-10 seconds was it repaired
- venue was decently crowded, even though not sold out (I suppose)
that's all for now, maybe more later...

so next time i'll know that it's better to chose Prague instead of one gig in Poland. 
Posted: 02 Apr 2009, 10:35
Seems this was a vast improvement over Krakow after reading the posts in that thread ~ wish they'd keep Floorshow in the setlist though, i likes the new interpretation. Don't get me wrong i adore Giving Ground, it can just wring the energy out of the set sometimes IMO. And Logic is long gone i guess...

what a night, brilliant clarity of sound. no mumbling. nasty guitars. nurse couldbe seen a lot (what a piece of meat he is). giving ground much better than that mangled and mutilised version of floorshow. i quite missed something fast, althought romeo down was stripped to just first verse which lead us into the mayhem of vision thing.
as i was recording i was standing by the sounddesk and it was pretty annoying that during whole show people were coming to shout angrily at soundman to turn it louder. wonder whether he got out of the venue alive, cause people were really pissed off with the sound volume. as i guess he had some earplugs so he couldnt hear them at all, although he wouldnt pay attention even if he did not have them.
people were generally quite pissed off because of the expectations from a rock(n roll)show, i mean volumewise.
i decided not to let my experience be spoiled by such petty error. instead i hook up to the sound quality and happiness, that almighty Von isnt mumbling and could be hear loud(maybe not so much) and clear.
that new song Arms is pretty good, i was waiting to hear it live to judge it and i was impressed.
bought two tshirts, as that friendly merch-man didnt have euros to pay back. i do not regret that. pity he didnt have any badges though.
highlight were Train, Marian, Anaconda, Alice, Suzzanne was exceptional, FALAA and Lucretia came out superB as well. i forgot Top nite Out, which was awesome, especially Ben and Chris standing on the monitors.
which reminds me of
the lightshow was fabulous. every track had been given bonus dimension and i really enjoyed that. i would be happier with much more smoke and stroboscope, but whatever, they werent missing.
and no support band is a really nice thing.
i rank this tour much higher than previous three (i mean Exxile incl.), nto really sure, but i enjoyed the show much more.
wish they would add Logic or Adrenachrome.

Volume level was decent from where I was standing, and vast improvement over the night before. Von said (to the 2 guys in the middle of the barrier who were complaining) "Have you tried standing in front of those speakers?" <points to the speaker stacks> 
Right, a day off then on to Budapest... (I hope it's as good as 2006).

Nice review, panzerfaust - thanks! Glad to hear it was a good show, all things considered.

Btw, lot ot very bad reviews in local press/internet forums. But I agree with review above, and my impression was also good - even more now due to gastro...etc circumstances. And venue owners even released official statement distracting themselves from sound of the band. Well...
