"Only three more songs until I kick your ass, pal," Frey recalls Felder telling him near the end of the band's set.Felder recalls Frey making a similar threat to him during "Best of My Love"."We're out there singing ‘Best of My Love', but inside both of us are thinking, 'As soon as this is over, I'm gonna kill him,' " recalled Frey.

Alexander Dennis/BYD E400EV City demonstrator on display at Coach & Bus UK 2019
It was built to TfL specification - along with new features, including the SmartVision camera monitoring systems; LCD displays for both the interior & exterior - supplied by Navaho; and USB charging points on board
Following the event, the vehicle was reregistered and later saw service with CT Plus London - for use on services 26 & 388
As a side note, it does carry LCD displays; I did find it was unwilling in cooperating with my polarising filter, resulting in the blinds appearing as though they're not displaying anything - though, in this photo, the backlight is very slightly visible.

Abellio London ADL Enviro400H MMC 2018 (YX20OCA) arrives at Great South West Road on route 482, having recently returned from a month long loan at Beddington to type train drivers on the new ADL SmartVision mirrors which is being used on its own batch of MMC's for route 270.
Abellio had taken over route 482 from Metroline prior to the lockdown in March
To accommodate Route 264 and the new electric buses that and the 119 are set to receive later this summer, Route 197 transferred from Croydon garage to Peckham last Saturday, taking the 15 Enviro400H MMC’s with it.
In the 8 years since Go-Ahead London took full control of Metrobus’s London operations, the 197 is the third route to have moved out of a Metrobus garage, the only others being the 51 and B14 which moved from Orpington to Bexleyheath. EH330 (YW19VVC) was used as a type trainer at Peckham to familiarise drivers with the SmartVision cameras and is the only one so far to have receive a PM blindset, as well as PM codes and Metrobus logos removed. It is pictured in East Croydon.
