    After reading the reviews about Munich and Berlin, I'm quite sure that this was the best show in Germany. Of course, I cannot judge how well the band played or the crowd behaved in those cities, but I can tell that the soundmixing went down way better. I had no problems listening to single instruments or vocal tracks, it's been all fine. Even though that one cableguy "blew that moment" for Joshua Homme at one point when starting a song, the band kept their cool and still played as if they had nothing to lose, anyway. Why should they not?

    Got that VISIONS-copy the other day, also included "New Fang" as a first track on the disc.
    Though the title is not listed on the envelope (Them Crooked Vultures gave the permission for the track a little bit later than the envelope's tracks were printed on), I still think it was one of the first high-quality-songs on disc out there. I was very pleased to get that as probably one of the first guys around.

    In altogether, a very good magazine and an even better interview. The shots are great, but could have been more - especially the live-shots. Nonetheless, worth the money.
