Harold Wilson made it onto a sort of bank note. It's a "hell note" to be burnt as an offering to the deceased to ease their financial problems on the other side! Available on eBay for a bit more than 25p.

An image of Harold Wilson on a note of "hell money." Intended to be burned as an offering. From Hong Kong.

Snowdonia. I've walked by where Private Widdle's privates were not revealed!

I hope you're adding the odd insult now and then! It would make them collector editions.

Cyclone, from 1978, has a couple of tracks with vocals sung by Steve Jolliffe, who rejoined the band, only for this album, after Peter Baumann had left. It also has real drums. It's an obvious transition between mid '70s and early '80s sounds and personnel.

I can only think of 2 tracks with vocals on earlier albums so Tyger was different.

TD released a trilogy of albums based on Dante's Divine Comedy with many tracks having vocals. I saw the only live show of Purgatorio, in London, and some people left when the singing began. I stayed!

#BruceSpringsteen and #TangerineDream is a rare combination! Tyger wouldn't be my first choice due to the vocals. It's been a while since I last played it, so I might have to give it a spin - once I've worked my way through Tracks II.

That was the loudest crowd I've ever heard!

It was boiling in the stand. I'm not sure how those in the pit survived!

Bruce Springsteen suggests he can't hear the crowd! San Siro, Milan, Italy. 30 June 2025.

Earls Court on that tour was show 5 for me. Show 19 was last night at the San Siro - another epic. Who knows what the future holds, but I'm hoping for one more!

Good thing you're not there this time next week as Bruce Sprinsteen will be playing the second of two nights at the local football stadium. I'm guessing hotel rooms would be hard to find!

It could be Ceuta if that's the next ferry to leave.
