On B-side of my Hamburg 81 show seeded previously I had this show from the first tour outside UK. I gave it a listen and then I realised that it was cut in the last track. So I downloaded the full version that was here and again the comparison shows that my version has a clearer sound. Not a huge improvement, but it definetely sounds better to my ears. So I took my version and patched the missing part of 11 'o Clock from the version seeded here. Now I like it!

The title of this one obviously comes from the presentation Bono did in Den Haag a few months later, not remembering the name of the venue and stating that that place was "very, very strange". The Melkweg still exists today and it's a very nice place for concerts, along with the Paradiso.

Enjoy!
