This is for Russell, who put this Falco tune in my head in response to my Vienna Calling post. Oddly, I think the following is from the same concert as Vienna. I can’t put a date on them but they have to be mid-late 90’s, towards the end of his career/life.

Falco in concert (full symphony), Rock Me Amadeus:

And, because you can’t get enough Austrian pop on a Friday night…

By strange coincidence, I happen to be smoking a VSG right now – made partly from leaves of the D.R. That’s where Falco died. The music didn’t.
