Work up at 1 o’clock and did a phone interview with radio in Berlin. Drove to the gig in Hanover, Gaz had arrived went back to the hotel. Got changed and then did the show. It was probably the best we have played in Germany and the audience was great. At last it feels like things are happening for us in this country. Left the show on he bus to Berlin, had a crash on the way just skidded across the road on black ice, Rodders did really well to control it. There were cars off the road further along. We the crossed the border into East Germany. Got woken up at the border between East / West Berlin. As we drove through no man’s land we saw the tank that was said to be the first tank into Berlin during the war, it is also rumoured to contain the remains of the Russian soldiers killed as the Germans took the tank out of action – Mike Peters Strength Tour diary 1986
