It's so great to see this again. I was actually there when this was taped. It took place in an abandoned building in Sofienberggata in Oslo central/east. I think it was their second live gig in Oslo.
in this year they played their first gig in London supporting The Birthday Party. That was a highly charged event. Infact the intensity of the (strangely beautiful) negativity of the atmosphere there is something I can still conjure up. Anyone else out there go to that one?
I am Norwegian and I met a guy how went to this legendary concert. He told me that something went terrible wrong with the drilling... I have tried and tried to find some info about it but I cant. Guess it some kind of urban legend... Or?
Alex Hacke talks about it on the Liebeslieder DVD and says they came within one inch of a huge power cable. So they were lucky! They were stopped eventually!
they gave 2 shows within less than a year in oslo (83/84), the first one took place at a space called slurpen, as that the story goes- the powerdrill went right trough the concrete floor, causing massive damages in the structure. the other story is probably refering to the second concert, at nyland verksted - now a tourist trap called aker brygge.
I love this band, their agent in Las Vegas refused to allow them to wear the Elvis wigs.

Some members of the audience don't seem particularily into it. Maybe they misread that Siman and Garfunkle were showing up.

No, no, no! It's a band created for industrial spaces, halles etc. They should play concerts only in such sceneries!
