PLANET OBSCURE EUROPEAN TOUR 2012 REPORT Page 2
Hamburg had not been such a hot spot for The Quakes over the years for whatever
reason but this time was different. A packed house and a great show!
Wild at Heart in Berlin is always a great show. For some reason I've had bad shows
there personally over the years where Im making tons of mistakes. This time I
thought we did a good job and I was happy about the show. We had the next day
off and I got achance to explore Berlin a bit. I need to spend about a week there sometime.
Prague is always cool ...even on a Monday night. I got to shoot some video near the
castle and we had the biggest schnitzel you ever saw at the hotel...even “I” could not
finish it. :-)
On the final day of the tour we played at The Rock and Roll Hell festival in
Onsnabruk.The venue had been switched from where it was before.
Needless to say it wasn’t an ideal place for a festival.
Finally I was able to relax and have (more than a few) beers.
We had a great time clowning around backstage with the Tall Boys and Frenzy.

This picture taken by Nalle Westman probably depicts the fantasy of all those
who had to deal with me on this tour :-)It was a cool tour and we want to thank
all the people who came out to see us, also all the promoters and venues.
Thanks to Muti Climex and Aki Savolainen for use of their gear in Finland.
