    So after much Googling this weekend trying to get to the bottom of this distant memory, I did find a little something about it elsewhere..

    Can't find any pics of them anywhere though. I don't recall them after Cologne, though they may have been at the other shows and I just dont remember. I do recall instead of being called Hoovers, they were called Zoovers and they were pretty tall.

    I'm lucky as I suppose living in Europe its been easier to see so many shows down the years than many other places.

    You wouldn't envy my bank balance though lol - in a way I'm still paying for it all these years later. I wouldn't change a thing though and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I envy all those that got to see them pre 1992, especially on the JT tree. I've met one or two people through the years who have seen them a crazy amount of times that dwarf my 31 shows.
