How many here DON'T think 'Bridge of Sighs' was his best album?

How many here know there's a real Bridge of Sighs? From Wikipedia (I think this is legal)...

The Bridge of Sighs (Italian: Ponte dei Sospiri) is a bridge in Venice, northern Italy. The enclosed bridge is made of white limestone and has windows with stone bars. It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was designed by Antoni Contino (whose uncle Antonio da Ponte had designed the Rialto Bridge), and built in 1602.

The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, given by Lord Byron in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built and the cells under the palace roof were occupied mostly by small-time criminals. In addition, little could be seen from inside the Bridge due to the stone grills covering the windows.

"Bridge of Sighs" and "Caravan to Midnight" are both excellent.

I never knew there was a real bridge of sighs.

Been a long time crossing..........bridge of sighs.

No problem. Memory lane is getting longer and longer. Fun to reminisce.

I had to hear 'Caravan to Midnight' a few times when it came out to decide I liked it. These two albums and 'Victims of the Fury' are probably my favorites from that era.

I don't dislike the stuff with Jack Bruce, but it's my overall least favorite.
