After the Rocky Alice Cooper Horror Show we had to wait a little while. The tension was high. And then… They started and the sold out Olympiahalle exploded. A few bars of Pictures of Home and we were immediately in. You could see them, hear them,feel their music: THE GODFATHERS OF ROCK. Imagine: There is […]
