Notes
There was a riot in Athens which terrorised the festival, but DM played the gig nonetheless. The whole festival was broadcast and most bands agreed to having their concert being broadcast, but DM were one of the very few bands who disallowed this, reportedly because the management and/or band worried that (possibly bootleg copies of) it would inhibit sales of 'The World We Live In And Live In Hamburg' which was released 3 months prior.
[...] I do remember the festival we played there. Culture Club got bottled off stage and there was a full scale riot out on the streets - I don't know why. I have it all on video though. Luckily, we went down really well but it was a strange day. If I remember rightly, Dave also got punched in the face the next day while out shopping. Aggressive bastards, aren't they?.
