A long way to Salzburg, patience required on the busy motorways. Left Kaernten on a sunny day but when I arrived in Salzburg it was raining cats and dogs and didn't stop for 2 days. The gig took place at the Rockhouse, my first visit there. Difficult to breathe as the place was so packed, temperatures got high and it was almost unbearable. Also, the sound was deafening and the glaring spotlights didn't help .... Ready cash necessary as the bar prices were incredibly high (11 € for 1 JD/coke, and you didn't even taste the JD ...) - a touristic place, what can you expect. The nice staff and friendly people around including Hannah who sat in for Sue made up for all the obstacles.

Super-Gig im verregneten und kühlen Salzburg, jedoch in einem kleinen aber brütend heißen Venue, wo die Getränkepreise dem Tourismus angepasst waren, d.h. übermäßig teuer. Viel Flüssigkeit war jedoch nötig ... Fotos leider nicht besonders, das lag zum Teil an der fürchterlich grellen Beleuchtung.
