1996 Nefilim tour dates??

After following this forum for ages I recently decided to begin posting and introduced myself in the DR3 coach thread in the live section.

I'm currently trying to put together a list of the cancelled September/October 1996 Nefilim tour dates. Even NephBrain Ande hasn't archived them all.

Can any of you help?

So far I have for sure:
9/25 Herford - Kick
9/26 Essen - Zeche Carl
9/27 Stuttgart - Röhre (man were we shocked at the Nefilim outing in 93 at this venue!)
10/7 Brmen - Modernes
10/8 Hamburg - Martkhalle
10/9 Frankfurt - Batschkapp

And with some question marks:
9/21 Waregem - t'Gaverke
9/28 Chemnitz - Kraftwerk

Another gig was scheduled for Berlin (I seem to recall at the Metropol, but I'm not certain anymore).

Btw, as I'm posting this I am watching the Duesseldorf DVD. What a special recording! I love it for its twisted mix with the keys all over the place. I recall having the CD on indefinite repeat back in the days. Maybe my favourite recording of Watchman. And the one version of Moonchild I never get tired of.

Rosetta Stone replaced them. Still got the flyer somewhere.
some early kind of Budapest syndrom, I think :D

I take the Budapest non-gigs, whatever the details, simply as late repercussions of Carl's history of announcements never leading to anything. In spite of Sleepers, canned videos and Eurorock, my impression is that, overall, since 07 there is much more reliability. In this regard the 90s were way more fustrating to me.

Thanks for chiming in, Scardwel! If you come accross the flyer, could you fill in some more details? Ande lists a cancelled Astoria gig in 96 for November 10. The venue apparently hosted something called "Industrial Research Festival" that day. The only Rosetta show I can find for the Astoria that year was at Sacrosanct (August 10&11).

There was supposed to be a gig in Paris too, which was cancelled. I know, I bought a ticket…

Thanks, Thomas! Right, I forgot about this one listed in Ande's Update (working draft): 9/24 at La Locomotive. The Guide also lists a show for 10/1 at a venue called Studion. Stockholm, maybe?
