J-Card Comment This is the infamous riot show where there was mayhem in the audience and on the stage, riot police battling with fans outside, and Joe was arrested for seriously assaulting a ëfaní with his guitar. His actions shocked Joe, and had a lasting personal impact on him.
He would raise the incident in a number of interviews there after. Joe said, ìI nearly murdered somebody, and it made me realise that you canít face violence with violence. It doesnít workî. There is information on the night from three sources; German newspaper reports from the time, an eyewitness account described in Last Gang in Town, and interviews with Joe.
