@Dougpol: you cannot judge the life quality of a place simply by the bands who come once in their lifetime play for an hour or even less ;). Katowice is the pits and Gliwice a rat hole...and no reason to end up there when coming from abroad unless coming from similar place ;)
Nah - just putting Smurf right because I lived in Katowice for 23 years and I am the Kato expert on this board - not him :) ROFL.
PS Joe Cocker played for 2 hours and 5 minutes and it were fab :)
PS Gdynia has the number one rating of any city in Poland but has the shockingly rubbish Open'er - my 22 year old gives it a ZERO rating - and there are never any good bands here at acceptable prices... OK there was Eric Clapton in 2008. EC was there, and so was I :)
But the OP should know that Katowice,and it's satellite of Gliwice, today are better for students than Warsaw for making friends if you are the sociable type, Warsaw being a city that the Germans destroyed, and Gdansk, a city that the Russians destroyed.
IMHO of course.
The guy who is badmouthing lecturers... well, to name names is rather cheap? And subjective, when he is condemning subjectivity?
