actually I don't know why I start this here at all today, because this is a gig I have no memories about whatsoever.
It took place in 1987 when I was 19 .... so young, so innocent, I hear you say, and of course you are absolutely right.
Holland's Clan Of Xymox by then had already passed their zenith, as far as I remember by 1987 they were only mentioned in the press when they decided to change their name again from "Xymox" to "Clan Of Xymox" and vice versa, something which happened every other week back then.
But as we ate everything that was put on our plate in those days, we went and watched (Clan Of) Xymox in the Jakobshof, a nice old venue in the middle of Aachen which had always been famous for concerts, cabaret, comedy and so on.
As I said, I really can't remember anything from this gig, but I'm willing to have a small bet that a) Anka Wolbert (as pictured above) must haved looked fantastic (albeit inapproachable) and b) "A Day" must have been the highlight of their set.

Re a): sorry, Robster, but this is as far as it gets on girls in this post as well, I'm afraid ... there must have been many good looking girls in the audience, I suppose, but most certainly I will only have had eyes for Anka: the picture above doesn't really do justice to how cute she looked in real life! Then again, back in those days, I think I thought the same about every girl who had her neck shaved ...
Enjoy,
Dirk

A nearly forgotten band, thanks for the reminder.
Also I just went to their website where it says the band are still going and are planning to release a new album in 2014 (though without the original band members pictured above)
Ich habe ein Bootleg vom dem Konzert...
