    Second song called Temptation in quick succession.

    I remember this from Trainspotting, mainly.

    I'm pretty sure I have the soundtrack to Trainspotting....:)

    Howard Jones is a class act.

    I wonder how often he gets mistaken for Nik Kershaw?

    This must have been a school concert.

    I'm feeling like Methuselah here...

    Another thing I never saw the appeal of. Jesus everyone I knew thought that was the best thing ever when it came out.

    Ah, was wondering when PSB would show up.

    "Inner...inner city...inner city life..."

    I didn't see half the film I was behind the couch.

    Though I loved Shallow Grave.

    Neil Tennant was once Editor of 'Smash Hits!'

    I know he did well afterwards, but it still can't have been as good.

    I love the way none of these guys bother having anyone pretend they're playing drums, but make sure they have as many keyboards on view as possible!

    1979.

    Year I walked to the Park to see El Papa.

    Galway for the Mass the next day.

    The nuns were delighted with us.

    Not sure I would have enjoyed it all that much without the Beebrock thread!

    Ah, this was a sad story.

    Guy was the courier for the Music Company and he died in an accident.

    So Elton did this as a tribute for him.

    I think.

    Elton looks miserable.

    He was probably considering hiring a dozen Keyboard players in order to keep up with the Kids.

    Edit: Ah, I didn't know about the song. No offence meant.

    It's easy forget how extensive is Elton's Back Catalogue.

    He has been writing hits (with Bernie) for a long time.

    Well, as long as the nuns were happy, I guess.

    Year I was born. Mother used to think it was a big deal. Till she stopped buying what the Pope was selling.

    TOTP is so hit and miss, hope there's just one guitar soon. Don't care if it's mimed.

    Proper Tune!

    I remember my Cousin playing this on his fancy Record Player over and over again.

    It hasn't dated at all.
