This concert more than made up for the disaster
in antwerpen. the basement was situated in the basement
of an old church. the atmosphere was outstanding, the
audience made up of crowds of german punks who were
very enthusiastic about the band's music, and the sound
was greatly enhanced by the odd acoustics of the arched
and vaulted crypt.
