Best concert I've ever been to: Sky at the State Theatre in Sydney, around 1980. Toccata was the encore piece and just had everyone on their feet, screaming and going crazy: one awesome piece and one of the best nights of my life. Mind-blowing!!!
Thank you thank you for uploading this video! A real reminder of how the band looked back when they played gigs here in Australia. Have you had your Betamax fixed yet? I would love to see the rest of the show...
After listening to Sky when I was growing up for years and years, I realised finally that MY guitar sound is pretty much identical to Kevin Peek's. So THATS where it came from...!
@domshousestudios Yes indeed, I can relate to that. Classy stuff by Kevin. Any idea what guitar that is? Looks to me like it could be a late 70s Aria Pro2. Kev is in a bit of strife right now businesswise re fraud charges etc in Perth, hope he beats them.
I had the album for this in the 80s along with Sky1. I love youtube as I never saw Sky live. How did Kevin Peek show such restraint? I remember playing this on my air guitar in my bedroom and was making some serious shapes!
well that showed me :O I guess I'll change my personal opinion of music forever. I mean I was totally serious because that's what the winking face means.
I'll get a life if you get one first and while you're at it watch the Toy Dolls version and respect the fact that 3 guys can do a damn good job of a song that you wouldn't expect to be done by a group in their genre.
also lean some grammar your angry response makes no sense TTFN LOL FLANGE MUCK TFI and other acronyms
shame people have to judge the looks of others ! its the 80's and late 70's look ! who cares, their music was and is and always will be,awesome. the quality of this is fabulous ! soooooo glad they are on here !!!!

Superb! Saw Sky live twice in the 80's and they just knocked my socks off. To the uploader respect for the quality. I'd love a DVD of this concert. Name your price..within reason!
