DRESDEN - STAR CLUB 1st April 2003

 

 

More raucous audience action in the Star Club, Dresden, situated in the middle of nowhere on an industrial estate but to make up for it, some fabulous tourist shots of what's left of the old buildings after WWII carpet bombing and massive flooding from the Elbe River.
