A band so young and so new should NEVER have sounded so good, so seasoned, and so powerful at such an early stage of their career. From beginning to the end, they gave their best. Thank you for the post. This was brilliant.
@snoopypal remember that stuart had been lead guitarist in the skids for four years before this and all the guys were great players - they had a good pedigree. still, remember watching them at the time and being knocked out. bet spear of destiny were gutted by being blown of the stage here!
@phlser oh i bet they werent happy at all :), i remember SOD, mediocre at best.....but then again, they did it many times to many "Great" bands, notably supporting Bowie on the Glass Spider tour i think.....blew him out of the water too. :). sheer class...i love how they arent "fully formed" as we know them now....look for stuff from the Peppermint lounge DVD. first time they were filmed at all i think, and Mark falls off his Drum seat..raw, hungry...just pure class "jigahtshikaraha"
that was....that was AWESOME!!!!!!! Go Big Country, Let's Go!!(clap, clap)
RIP Stuart
