19 years ago today: Steel Wheels East Berlin 1990 - first show ever in the GDR/DDR

My third show ever, the Steel Wheels stage made the whole thing
a new experience (compared to the Urban Jungle stage). Seeing them
as a Westgerman in East Berlin on the day the wall was built (1961)
in a time when the walls fell...great!

Great show in an overwhelming period of time (Perestroika)!

My shot of the BANG:

Didn't make that one Too Tough but I saw the Roger Waters show at Potsdammer Platz. One of the most memorable shows I ever attended. And yes, it was really hot then too. (Und wir hatten nur Biere und Schnapps mitgebracht. Mensch hatten wir ein durst am Ende!)

I remember it as hot and dusty - like a freakin' sandstorm.
at the time I had no clue where Weissensee was, so I was a bit late and only made to the side of the mixing tower. enjoyed the impressive stage though.

Dan Reed Network.

People waving their Stonestickets with the rhythm,
but they kept on playing. Respect.
