Die Toten Hosen - Alles ohne Strom
Back in 2005, we put our guitar amps away for the first time and released “Nur zu Besuch – Unplugged im Wiener Burgtheater,” a recording of an all-acoustic concert. We had an incredible time during those evenings at the Burgtheater—and even during the rehearsals leading up to them—and many fans and friends celebrated these new, fresh takes on familiar classics. So it was only a matter of time before we treated ourselves to that kind of fun again.
