It's taken me this long realise that fairy-lit setting of the Regent's Park Theatre is dead ringer for Brian Griffin's cover for Crocodiles

Echo and the Bunnymen T-shirt from the merch stall at their amazing Regent's Park gig on Wed - I bought the same shirt at the Brighton Centre in 1987... god knows where it went though
