Long time ago in 1983 I attended this show in a small club in Wuppertal called "Exil".Immediately after the group
finished the first tune of their show a wild and finally very bloody brawl occurred between the comparatively
young Billy Bang and the fourteen years older Denis Charles resulting into a broken nose and a lost tooth on the
side of the older generation. Frank Lowe and Raphael Garrett remained rather unsuccessful with their effort to bang
the heads together but finally caused the parties to leave the stage.

After a break of over 30 minutes tending their wounds and leaving the audience wondering what's going to happen the
group started again and we had the chance to attend a fantastic show!

Enjoy this great stuff!!!
