1984-01-27, Messe Halle, Sindelfingen, Germany
                track one(!): ME-262 (3:15)
1988-02-26, Jovel, Munster, Germany
                track nine: ME-262 (4:04)
I have two other tapes from gigs in Germany (1989-04-03, Stadthalle,
Offenbach and 1992-09-24, Stadthalle Mulheim, Koeln), but they did not play
ME-262 there.

:-) I though Hitler was calling from Berlin, and Goering was on the phone
from Freiburg!

Er... I'd prefer somewhat more melodic stuff (like Nosferatu), but also the
heavier songs (when they're melodic / diverse... still a progrock fan, aren't
I?), like: Black Blade, Siege And Investiture and the likes.
