Yet another time we discovered that the place we played at had to close the doors since the number of guests had reached the venue's upper limit, 500. So, again, people were rejected at the door, and we're sorry about that, but glad to see the crowd inside have such a great time.

This time we had Claus Ronald Jensen as a photographer. Here are some of the photos he took.

We have received this review from Micky Kelager Christensen:
December the 2nd (2006) Press Play On Tape (PPOT) delivered a rock hard
BLAST at The Rock venue in central Copenhagen. PPOT played a great and style
varied selection of C64 covers and remixes. The stage show was intriguing as
always, and it included both new and old gadgets. This time PPOT showed up
dressed as Green Commodore C64 Berets, but I kinda missed that tune
The entire concert as a whole was very well performed. The only things that
come to mind are that the vocal did sound a bit off now and again, and
several tricks and treats were somewhat familiar to the Copenhagen Retro
Concert (CRC). However, in addition to CRC the hybris/NEMESIS original "Karl
Koder" from The Party 2000 was smoothly executed to the pleasure of every
fan, Mark Knight's violin was exchanged by Søren Bentzen's beautiful sax,
and a good deal of the played tunes have had a serious rock-hard face lift.
Man, it was awesome. I remember Monkey Island from CRC to be one of the
hardest, thus coolest, rock tunes played, but after The Rock experience MI
from CRC sounds close to Helmut Lotti.
The odd mixture of regulars and yet mostly C64 retro geeks all in all went
fair. The concert was a huge success and The Rock was forced to close the
doors due to their maximum audience limit was reached.
PPOT, you guys ROCK, period. Even though it might was expected you really
should continue the hard path that was chosen for The Rock. Amazing, simply
amazing.

Important note: More than 200 tickets already sold!The few times we have played a public concert in Copenhagen either the tickets were sold out rapidly or doors closed because of too many people at the venue! So plan ahead, buy tickets
sooner than later, and get your friends to do the same -- otherwise you might miss it We do not make money on the amounts of tickets sold, we just want to have a fun night with as many people as possible.
Special Guest: Søren Bentzen
Søren Bentzen, who played the saxophone on Roland's Rat Race from our second album RUN/STOP RESTORE will be joining us on a couple of tunes. We're really looking forward to have him with us on stage
Support band: Bed of Onions
Bed of Onions is playing themes from tv series. They will be playing stuff like A-team, Airwolf and Knight Rider. Danish description:
To gutter, to guitarer og en fandens masse tv-serier. Dette er opskriften på det spillende piratshow "Bed Of Onion".
Bed Of Onion blev til på Nørrebro en skæbnesvanger nytårsaften hvor to gutter med alt for meget tid til overs og alt for meget fest i blodet, gik igang med at spille. Bandet der mest af alt startede som en joke indspillede hurtigt nogle magic moments på en demo skive, hvor der optræder diverse versioner af forskellige temaer og andet godt som hurtigt blev meget anerkendt i den Københavnske undergrund. Indtil videre er der kun ros tilovers for Bed Of Onion, så hvis du er vild med gamle serier som A-team, Airwolf og KnightRider så se frem til en aften med knald på. Det bliver vildt, volsomt, brandvarmt og intet mindre end fantastisk.
