That photo was taken onstage at Tavastia

Well yes ✅
The thing about Hanoi none of their studio albums captured their incendiary live performances Production often very weak
Oriental Beat was revisited not so long ago & a definite upgrade
Anyone curious about Hanoi should listen to the live All Those Wasted Years for definitive versions

Technical Ecstasy

Just like Waiting For The Sun until Morrison Hotel

Generation Terrorists
The Holy Bible
et al

The Doors 1967

Christ The Album
Crass 1982

First & Last & Always
The Sisters of Mercy 1985

Panic in Detroit & every other American city

I took up residence in Morrison Hotel long ago
Sadly Roadhouse Blues has become a little over exposed default setting for every redneck in a pick up piled high w/ crates of Coors

Peace Frog more relevant than ever

The Thin White Duke is reviewing your membership as we speak

The Cherry Bombz were very special to me Spent a lot of time with them in 86 It’s just crazy how briefly they were around couldn’t hold it together long enough to put out an album Anita was so good you didn’t miss Michael from Hanoi It was perfect next step

The Doors & Velvet Underground

Speedy’s Coming
Scorpions

The Cherry Bombz used to play this live with Nasty Suicide taking lead vocals
