That sort of venue is far superior to a stadium. Just watched the first 5 mins of 666 on youtube. Will have to look out for the DVD I think. Funny to see Bruce in his uniform and hi-viz. Considerable professional interest for you in the film, I should think.

This was originally intended as a mental exercise for me, to try and remember the playlist during the run. A 3-4 mile tempo run yields about 12 tracks. A real challenge for me - and the patience of my readers - would be to try it on a 3 hour long run. Something for you to look forward to in the new year, perhaps. It would certainly result in some surreal posts.
