26.7.85 Athens Pansthinai Panathinaikos Stadium, Greece (band are third on the bill supporting Depeche Mode and Culture Club) -
Part of the Stranglers set was broadcast on Greek TV.
Yes it was the „Greek Woodstock" of our generation!



For the first time so many important groups of that time came to Greece to play together in a 2 day festival that took place in the Kallimarmaro Stadium (the Stadium of the first Olympic Games) in Athens.



"Thanks to the unforgettable Melina Merkouri at that time Culture Minister who supported this whole effort (Athens was the first "Culture Capital of Europe" – an institution that was born from Melina), a dream came true.

The Clash, The Cure, The Stranglers, Talk Talk, Nina Hagen, Depeche Mode, Telephone, Culture Club all appeared live some of them for the first and last time in Greece.
The Surrealistic Scene of The Stranglers playing "Nice n Sleazy" while behind them a tree is already burning through a molotof cocktail, tear gases rise up in the air from the fights between policemen and people who want to get inside for free …"
