Well at least the kids were dancing to it!  At 95dB it is much louder than a MK concert has been in years! ;D

Fine, I personally don't necessarily agree or disagree with what you wrote but there are two sides to this issue and whatever view you take I don't think this is the forum to discuss it. :)

btw the DS pic used on the article is surely during TOL

that guitar was only used on RATR, the R&J outro, and maybe TR (christchurch 86) on this BIA tour.

according to Mark's clothes, it looks like wembley july 85, and according to their attitude, they are surely during TOL  :)
