Nico & the Faction
1985-09-12
sept 12, 1985
stuttgart, germany
die roehre

introductory notes:

first gig ? ( in germany )on this tour... nico says she has been thoroughfully searched at the border [ i assume she saw an even rougher treatment as she continued to play behind the iron curtain .It was this tour that resulted in the double live LP "Behind the Iron Curtain," though, strangely enough, that release was recorded in Rotterdam (ie, not behind the Iron Curtain)
see info on recordings...

when she came back to germany in october to continue her tour of germany 3 shows fell victim to be recorded they could be on a tracker near you...frankfurt + berlin and parts of koeln ?
