I loved these guys back in the 80s. THey were meant to play in a club in Glasgow, but the stage was too small and the gig was cancelled. I was so sad.
I had the pleasure of seeing Vow Wow live in concert on two occasions. Once in Glasgow Scotland (where I am from) in 1988, and once in Tokyo in 1995. I worked in Tokyo for six months at that time. I also have a live album of theirs (vinyl) recorded in (I think) 1986 (Vow Wow Live?) at the Budokan in Tokyo featuring songs like "Doncha Wanna Come", "Beat of Metal Motion", "Nightless City", Hurricane" and this song "Too Late To Turn Back". Great band.
Ohayo Aki-San. I checked the wiki for Vow Wow and you are right to say the band dissolved in 1990. However, in 1995 Kyoji Yamamoto and Toshihiro Niimi reunited as Bow Wow. It was this band I went to see live in Tokyo. If I remember correctly, they did not play any old songs and the singer sang in Japanese, not English.
Perhaps it was 1987 I saw them in Glasgow and not 1988. Neil Murray was playing on bass.
It's good to know you have the Live album. TOO LATE TO TURN BACK! :)
Incredible!!! I LOVE this so much!!! ...they all have mad skills, but that singer is just unbelievable!...and they all look fantastic :) That last shot at the end is perfect.
Thank you akito for uploading this greta band videos that sadly are not available here in south america.
Please, if you have a little time i would like to have "the girl in red" lyrics and "love walks" lyrics. Ok? only if its not trouble 4 you thank friend

B時代は、あくまで「国内で」レベルが高いバンドでしたが、V時代は「世界へ」を感じさせるバンドへと飛躍した気がします。当然立役者は元基先生です。私は当時皆様と同じくラウドネス(アースシェイカー等も)も大好きでしたが、このバンドは「別格」扱いしてました。やっぱヴォーカリスト元基先生の存在感は圧倒的でした。

Arigato for the information Aki-San. November 21, 1987. Over 22 years, I cannot believe it was so long ago. I would have been 18 years old.
