4.  Antwerp Maximum Security Prison, Antwerp, Belgium

“I never pass up a chance to play music to a captive audience. Nevertheless, prison shows can be intimidating and sometimes uncomfortable. This destination makes my list simply because it is so unforgettable. It’s the only time I have had folks in the audience shout ‘fuck America’ during our set. They took our passports when we entered the prison. I felt lucky to get out after the show was over.”

  1. Those guys are geniunely one of the best acts touring anywhere, anytime. But I NEVER knew they already played a prison. Ultra classic. What color is the tap water in Belgium??

  2. Thanks Rick. Actually the tap water was clean and the service was first rate. The warden hosted us with a steak dinner following our set and we were served by inmates! What a trippy experience.
