U2, Camouflage Heart, 1985 on Skeleton Songs

Another bootleg, this time a 2xLP version of the gig in Mannheim West Germany, February 1st, 1985.

Bootlegged a number of times under different cover, this was part of the Unforgettable Fire tour. Includes a cover of “Southern Man” by Neil Young.

My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—has plain white record labels with nothing on them, and no indication of where it was pressed.

Yes, hand-portable #nukes do exist.

• In fact, until the 1990s they were kept stationed in #WestGermany as *"#TacticalNukes and aside from the #FuldaGap, most #Bridges and even some #Tunnels had provisions to mount them as a detonation device, because conventional explosives wouldn't work in human-portable quantities nor would they create enough additional destruction in the form of craters...

Granted, these compact nukes are in the 20+kg range cuz one doesn't want the person carrying to quickly die from radiation poisoning nor addicentially cause a nuclear detonation when dropped on the floor.

• And yes, some politicians in [West-] #Germany at the time wanted those stockpiled amidst fears of being overrun by #WarsawPact forces.

Sweet Movie (Dušan Makavejev, 1974)
