[@kennethstubberud1072]

I read somewhere that merchandising was stopped at the Canadian border.

@@kennethstubberud1072 really? I also heard that VIP ticket holders did get their merch though (now how true is that i dont know…). 🤷🏻‍♂️

Could not pick out many songs in that concert footage except for " BallsTo The Wall ". But i have not listened to many U.D.O songs. I was wondering if he wore camoflauge cargo pants like in a lot of his early photos😄 Hes such a wee man i could not see!. Yes, i too like to look at the merchandise stand as well but rarely buy overpriced stuff. Unless its for one of my sons.

[@offthecharts2272]

There was another Accept song at the begining (third song I think?) which was Midnight Mover... but like I said, the sound was terrible that night and it showed on the videos... you've seen my concert footage before, so you know it's never that bad! And I believe he was wearing camo pants (if memory serves) but like you said, he's quite short and unable to tell if he actually was! :)

I forgot Peter was in UDO as well... I wonder what happened there.

[@offthecharts2272]

@@GrabAStackofRocK i know he was unhappy in Accept in the later years…. How or why UDO came along im not sure…

[@GrabAStackofRocK]

Watching now! Let's see how the show was...

[@offthecharts2272]

meh... I'd say the sound quality of the recordings is the poorest I've done of all concert reviews... something was definitely off that night sound-wise... you can barely hear Udo...

@@offthecharts2272 I'm just happy UDO was tell enough to appear in your footage! LOL

Sound is usually best near the sound desk.

[@offthecharts2272]

Yeah, but it was too far back to take good videos... I've done many videos from that bar and never had this bad sound... prolly my worst concert review unfortunately due to the sound...

[@davebrowne8252]

Accept with Udo - I love Balls To The Wall Accept with David Reece - I love Generation Clash Accept with Mark Tornillo - I love everything so far! Udo's solo stuff is decent enough, better than his work with Accept to be honest.

[@offthecharts2272]

I have some love for all 3 versions... each has it's classics!

[@davebrowne8252]

Hmm, ok, I'm gonna give this one a go. I'm NOT a huge fan of Udo, and I FAR prefer Mark Tornillo with Accept. I have most of the U.D.O. albums, and they are good, but dammit Accept rose from the ashes spectacularly with Mark on vox. Ok, here we go...

[@offthecharts2272]

I'm told UDO solo is more original than current Accept... I dont own any so I couldn't tell you... BUT, "Teutonic Terror" is easily one of my favorite comeback tracks ever!!!

[@davebrowne8252]

@@offthecharts2272 Oh he absolutely is, he is far closer solo to the original Accept than the new. The new Accept is a totally different sound, and in my opinion, far, far superior.
