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.
