This was the first time I saw The Sound play live. Parkpop is one of the biggest Free Open Air festivals in the world. On that day, the temperature and the weather were really as they should be when summer starts, warm and dry. The Sound played many old and a few new songs from Shock of Daylight and a few songs of Heads and Hearts (although it was released in spring 1985). It was a great experience to see them play live, from then on I started following them when they played in the neighbourhood. There must be some radio recording of this gig, I hope I get them one day, I think I then can recall what I felt when I heard them play live for the first time. From then on I wanted to hear more and more of them.
