Placebo were doing Linz yesterday, which is quite extraordinary as the named city usually hosts bands as Genesis and Bon Jovi. The last time a major band from the "alternative" (NO discussions on what is alternative, please) corner played here was Blur around 3 or 4 years ago. So much for that.
And yes, Placebo did a nice concert, even in a good, rather relaxed mood, playing almost all their big hits (i only missed Pure Morning, which is some kind of my all time favourtite among their songs). The crowd was a really mixed one, obviously the band brings together the most different people, which isn't the worst thing, i would say. So there were Mr. I-am-a-lawyer-in-a-really-good-legal-office, his I-am-in-another-cool-legal-office girl friend and the indie-doctors, as i spotted my all-time favourite girl-in-black-bartender, who is responsible for a couple of terrible black-outs...
Surprisingly the Linzer audience proved itself to be better than i initially expected, being nice even to the support band. Above all, they skipped the pushing and slamdancing, which makes life for old men and wearers of glasses like me a lot more comfortable.

The aftershowparty was also good :)
Rock and Roll!
