Just caught this in car driving off to get newspaper. Geldof did more talking than Moyles, a bit about Dustin making #1 with Rat Trap. Also solo albums is now 6 or 7. Coming down. They even played "Heres a Postcard" at the end. Single version is abridged without guitar solo, which is a shame.

Here's a thing I don't get. The gigs of 83/84/85. This song was always on the list. This over House on fire. Which happened to get into the top 30. But was never on the list. So the rats or geldof must have liked doing this song live. They must if heard something in this song. That my ears have yet to pick up.
