What a gig!tour!album!..i've said it before on this blog but i will repeat myself... the scorpions during this period were untouchable....anyone who went to see in the early 80's will agree with me..... there was not a better live band out there...every show was amazing.... on this tour it would be the last time for a while we would hear classics from the 70's (steamrock,woman & burn the sky) these mixed with what were to become classics from the lovedrive & blackout albums made for a very special tour..... i went to the london shows but i got this in a trade and it's a good quality recording..... enjoy ed

What a band....after winning the euro song contest they went  on to have many hits over the years and although they went through many line up changes i think we will all agree this was by far their best period.....when you can pull out such classics as the camera never lies,land of make believe and i hear talk..well they could of played for hours..the only downside was their hits medley... i would of loved to hear these songs complete and not part of a medley but that aside this was  a great gig...it's a shame they did not achieve worldwide success which with all the hard work they put  into their short career they truly deserved...I have searched the web for hours and have not been able to find this show so i am hoping it's a first time recording out there..... enjoy ed

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA 

This is not a wind up....YES it is the mighty buck fizz at their peak...recorded by a very good friend of mine MR L.... who i would of loved to have seen with his long hair and leather jacket at the gig....... great stuff....

Now i will be honest and admit i am not the biggest prog rock fan in the world but when asia released their debut album i fell in love with it.... The song "heat of the moment" was a huge hit and i am a sucker for a slice of AOR... so i had to go along and see the band and i am glad i did in a way... the songs were great BUT feck me the solo's went on forever... with nearly 30 mins of guitar>keyboard>drum solo's zzzzzzzzzzzzz... Still worth the ticket price though...enjoy ed

When it comes to the heavier side of rock i tend to treat it like marmite i either love it or hate it,,,i do prefer more melodic rock but if the mood takes me i can thrash with the best of them.I once walked out of a metallica gig at the marquee saying they were shite and nothing would come of them (to the utter disbelief of some friends)...not long after i was given a copy of "kill em all" by dave from shades record shop and my opinion was changed....Anyway i quite liked warlock and with doro they had a great singer even if some of the songs were hit and miss,,,Another great night was had down the marquee and listening to the end of the recording we all moved onto the st moritz club across the road... so i know the night was still young...good recording... enjoy ed

Well it doesn't get much better than this...as you may know from previous sister posts i was a huge fan of the band having seen all their gigs at the marquee...so along with a friend or two we followed them around the country catching a few of their shows on this their full debut uk tour.With a setlist most bands would die for they blew the place apart wherever they played and anyone who was fortunate enough to see them on this tour will know what i am talking about...this was the first night of the tour and they were brilliant.... great recording..enjoy ed

More from the troy brothers.... i have said it before and i will keep on saying it... whatever band they were in at the time whether mantis,stratus or escape... chris and tino troy produced some of the best melodic rock songs going.... they could put their harmonies to a chinese menu and i would still want to hear it... feckin' brilliant... Here they are with mr burr (r.i.p) and bernie shaw back i n '84.... the marquee gig was as brilliant as ever but the hammy gig was a bit of a let down,,,not their fault but they were supporting spider on a night when there was a tube & train strike so everything was running late so they only got to play 5 songs.... you will here the dj's pa come on after fantasy but they managed to squeeze another song in... enjoy ed

A couple of ufo shows from a brief uk tour they did back in '84, I have always been a fan throughout their career but i especially like the early 80's as they produced a couple of classic albums in mechanix & making contact that sometimes get overlooked but contain some great melodic rock tunes....anyway these recordings are ok.... the manchester is the better of the two...my recording of the lyceum is not brilliant but i thought i would include as there are  not that many ufo shows around from this period.... enjoy ed
