Belgium / Germany / The Netherlands : ca. 4 - 27 February 1987
Wednesday, 4 February 1987 Hof Ter Loo, Antwerp, Belgium
No tape exists? Many thanks to Peter Staessens for these photos - two onstage and two back.
Peter: "I'm a Brussels based photographer and during a recent 'clean out' I found some old negs. I was still going to school and working for a local music mag named ' Rock this Town ' (ahem...).
"These shots were taken at a Fall gig at 'Hof Ter Loo ' in Antwerp on February 4 1987. I was allowed backstage and asked Mark to pose for some pictures which he refused. I did a few shots when he was doing an interview with the journalist that accompanied me and two kids from a local school. I vaguely remember he told me to stop taking photographs and he was sort of accusing the kids of not having prepared the interview properly."
