During the early 80's there truly was some great music around for hard rock fans like myself and for me mantis released one of the great albums of that era (time tells no lies),i recently dusted my copy of it off and gave it a blast and wow it's good... with so many classic songs on it...simply brilliant!.
here is a show i caught them at back in '81 at one of my favourite venues...for the life of me i cannot remember if they headlined or were supporting someone...help! this was before they took on a vocalist yet managed to perfect their harmonies as a four piece...the only downside for me was the reaction from the crowd...very poor and unusual for geordieland...also the inclusion of all day and all of the night...feckin awful song.... for which i remember drunkenly telling tino troy on the two occasions i met him at later gigs...oh well we all do stupid things in our youth..ha... enjoy ed
