brings back so many memories of my youth, met my 1st wife at one of their gigs, Cooks Ferry Inn Edmonton. used to follow them around North London. plus remember having to walk home through Epping forrest late on a Sunday night from the Wakes Arms.
I wanted to check out this original version after many years of listening to Iron Maiden's version. I don't like comparing the originals to the cover versions, but I have to say I think this version is awesome. So much power in the performance. No wonder Maiden decided to cover it....f'kin classic song this!!! \m/
Remember seeing the original line up at the Dagenham Roundhouse....exploding dustbins...briliant......Also see them at the Wakes Arms on the old A11.....
Great gig wasn't it. I keep on at Del to makea new CD of the old songs by the current line-up, as I think they sound better now than they ever did. Try and make the Xmas gig at the Wheatsheaf.
Still going strong and sounding better than ever, Talking of memories - how about Friday nights at the Nags Head, Wollaston with the much missed John Peel as DJ
just read your coments wonderfull friday nights at nags lived for fridays and some fine prog bands. seen stray 2 weeks ago at maltshovel played for four hours sunday afternoon
there were so many good underrated bands from this era. what a shame they had little or no radio play. the media was so/ is so conservative
