Yeah, that rings a bell.
paint it black wrote:The official line is
Armageddon will be held indoors this year : tune in, turn on, burn out!
or
Silence is platinum: : tune in, turn on, burn out!
tune... being the name of the tour (as is well recorded by my various source materials)
* edit to add, both of these options refer only to the UK dates. The European tour was Trans Europe Excess, as is always the case
Except that
vicus's post clearly shows Armageddon (without the Tune In... tagline) being used on a German poster. From memory, I think they've been listed as different 1985 tours. And I think I've seen Trans Europe listed as variously 1985 and 1983.
And the official line (ie the website) doesn't use Black October, which we also have evidence of in an above post.
Edit: Just tracked down the various gigographies I've saved from different web sources. Unfortunately I didn't keep any record of what came from where:
I have one that lists Trans Euro as August 1983, which agrees with the official site;
another that breaks 1985 up into Tune In... (UK Mar-Apr) and Trans Euro (Europe Apr-May) and also has May-Jun 1984 listed as the Body & Soul tour (leading up to the single being released at the end of the tour);
another that lists Armageddon as Apr-Jun 1985 (and puts Trans Euro in 1983);
and another that has Trans Euro in 1983, Walk Away in Nov 1984 (following Black October) and again Armageddon Apr-Jun 1985 (after Tune In).
