Yeah, you´re right, but you can be sure the people in Hamburg were boiling inside. This behaviour is called here in Hamburg 'understatement'. We are I had a seat beneath the soundboard and the sound in this old classical hall was very good. I´m 54 and saw here many acts of the rock scene, (Rory Gallagher and Jethro Tull in 1973,Gentle Giant, Kinks and many other). In earlier times Hamburg had only this hall and a congress centrum which is very sterile. For me it is a great pleasure to listening loud rock music in this hall, where most of the time fine dressed people listening to clasic music.
