The Skatalites for the first Europe show in Amsterdam
The very first show on the European continent by The Skatalites is held in the cult club De Melkweg (melkweg.nl).
There is not much information to find about this event. All I have is the poster for that show. Vin gave it to me in Saint-Nazaire as a special present. In his words, this is the best poster from that Euro Tour 1992. I haven’t seen all the other posters, but I like it very much and it was great to ask all the members from the tour to sign it for me, but this is a later part of this story.
