Info:
Swans played the Oude Zaal (old hall) of the Melkweg. Posters warning of the high volume were in abundance. Excellent performance with Gira and the rest of the band in top form.

PS: I have informed about the title of track 5 on the band's Facebook page and got this reply: "this is the first part of a "song" called "the seer" - final part is a sort of acoustic groove... gently sung....".
