At least you're the only one of us that he's mentioned in a song: "There's a pale horse comin
And I'm gonna ride it" (Dead Man Walking). Think I might change my name then to 'A pale horse'

Brilliant stories from Bruce and he always picked a gorgeous female from the Audience to dance with him during the Dancing In The Dark instrumental section , just like he did in the video. Does he still do that ?
I'm sure he donated some of his profits for the UK leg of that tour to the striking miners ?
Thanks again,

I was there too, Sheik!!!!!! I was heavily pregnant with my first child (this was September, I gave birth in November) and I thought a great introduction to his music for him!!!! It got too much to stand though and at the break my hubby and I met an actress from the TV soap, 'Brookside' who was so concerned that I was standing, she gave me her seat which was really close to the side of the stage. I hardly sat at all although at times I did need that seat!!!! I put the ticket stub in my son's baby box when he was born.Sheik Yir Erse wrote:ISaw him at the SECC on the Human Touch/Lucky Town tour - when they put the house lights on, and threatened to switch off the power if he didn't come off stage - "because the staff had homes to go to".
Good memories indeed.
