This may well be the gig I saw at the Watertower in Rotterdam in 1982. They were actually supporting Per Ubu! I was at the bar during the second part of the show and had a few beers with Nick. It was years later that I realised who I had spoken to!

Great story. My own is that I lived for awhile on the same block he did in Berlin, so I used to see him in the neighborhood, the supermarket, etc. in late 80s. Never spoke to him though. Before that, I saw him hanging out in Danceteria in NYC a few times when I lived there.

@saigonbill : where did he live in Berlin? tnx

[saigonbill]

@indhold It was in Kreuzberg 36 (what we called it at the time -- is it still referred to as that?) -- on Oranien Strasse. I don't remember which number, but his seemed to be in the 20s, definitely that block. My flat was at 17, at the corner.

@saigonbill ,hello, im doing a research on what went on in West Berlin @ the time. My question is have u gone to the Risiko Bar and do you remember anything from that place? All best and thanx

[saigonbill]

@hellmik Sorry -- just looked it up on Google Maps and that place was way way out there, at least from where I used to hang out -- the name did sound familiar -- we did use to go check out places we'd heard about, some far away too, but that one's location and layout don't look familiar at all. I do remember going to see the Neubauten film (Halbe Mensch) out at UFA Fabrik -- is/was that in that same area?

And now I know where the idea for Marylin Manson's "Dope Hat" came from. Even the bass riff - wow.

@saigonbill Wow! What was Danceteria like back then?

[Hamsterzilla1349]

If I had a birthday party, that's exactly how I'd like it to be.
