My great grandfather painted a mural on the ceiling of the original Alte Opera. Sadly it was destroyed by bombing in WWII and the Opera House had to be rebuilt. I didn't find out that the mural had been destroyed until sometime after I'd made several attempts to view it with a very close friend who was living in Mainz at the time. My very close friend passed away a few years back so my trip to Frankfurt was something of a personal homage to him and my great grandfather.
When TD announced the show it just felt like fate.
Before the show my wife and I shared a very nice bottle of Kabinet and toasted TD, great grandfather and my friend.

That's good too - a close second... but the Architecture of Coventry beats it for me. It's also suitably different. There can't be many bands who have played there.
