Spiegel Tent

New York, NY

Other bands or acts who played at that show

• “Fiend in Wien: Peter Lorre's Twentieth Century,” a punk-rock song cycle in twelve parts in which the life of the iconic character actor is traced from his birth in the Carpathian Mountains in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through street life in Vienna, to Weimar Berlin, minor success in Hollywood, and his return to then-East Germany to work with Berthold Brecht, where he died in 1964.

Which songs were played, if known

• This is the show that sold me on the band, and it's still my favorite. -D¢
• Playing out on a pier under a circus tent, amazing colors and atmosphere. Ruined the back of one of my feet with a pair of thrift store shoes I bought just for the occasion, never wore them again (just threw them out last weekend). I don't think anyone could've not fallen in love with the band after this show. Almost didn't go, but ended up going to both nights, best decision I ever made. - Doug K.
• Don't forget about the trapeze still hanging and part of the pier caving in. Or how 40s in the financial district cost more than $2 which sucked but Emma Blauer telling me to “take this” so I did. - Sheena Bilmas
• I wore 4“ heels to this show and somehow did not twist my ankle, despite being in the front/pit the whole time. My mom actually bought me a dress to wear to this. 2nd best Inferno show of all time -Danielle
