Can you think of a better one?

Amazing Blondel - A Spring Air
(England, 1972)
The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

ticket stub for gig at the Irish Centre, Liverpool, Dec 5 1984. Bands were Marshmallow Overcoat, Mel-o-Tones, and It's Immaterial. Only Β£1!

The Irish Centre in Liverpool used to put on gigs in the 80s; the former Wellington Rooms building is still there at the top of Mt. Pleasant but has been disused since the 90s and is crumbling, alas.
Mel-o-tones were pre-Walkingseeds, I think.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
Will we be able to reserve specific seats, like in Business Class on the NEC trains?
