THE ROCHES - Metropol Berlin 03.11.1982

[@doreesky]

The Roches music helped me through many days. Roche music is timeless..

[@tamparker854]

they fit into no category, hence their brilliance remained unheard.

[@davidemberson8607]

Well, they had a cult following among some of us. They got more notice after Phoebe Snow did a cover of Married Men and then performed it with Linda Ronstadt on SNL.

[@jgcaulfield]

Yes, that is it, I think. I suspect they were told many times to just change this or that. They stayed true.

[@MattDollMusic]

I spoke to Terre Roche back in 1999 and she told me about this gig. They were opening for The Go-Go’s.

I was stationed in West Berlin starting at the end of February 1982. Didn’t see this concert. Wish I had. But saw XTC play here around this time. Small venue with limited seating, but it was awesome.

[@jackcrane7853]

They belong to the Rocknroll Hall of Fame🎉

[@Fexobs]

Why ? What would that achieve ? F the RRHOF

[@beals6631]

Once they got political, I pay them no attention anymore

@@beals6631 once YOU get un political, I PAY YOU NO ATTENTION ANYMORE. Because, as Dylan once sang: " WE ARE LIVING IN A POLITICAL WORLD". Dummy.

Hard to sing for such a noisy audience. They were professional and kind enough not to quit the stage.

[@beals6631]

It sounded like they ended up winning most over

[@Joekman]

Nooit vrouwen mooier horen zingen dan de Rochester. Bedankt!
