thanks for posting this, I've been a fan forever and should have been there. Never had a chance to see the guys although I know at one point in my younger days Ian played a local theater.

Back in 71 Pete Watts inspired me to pick up the bass guitar. Cheers Pete.

[slightlyperturbedmax]

Amazing! To be honest I was hugely disappointed by Man Overboard, especially compared to Ian's previous couple albums - way too Bon Jovi! This is much more like it in my book!

[vegetasrevenge]

@slightlyperturbedmax I can't disagree with you more on that.

I love that album, Bon Jovi will never be that honest.

Perhaps you aren't old enough to appreciate it yet.

[slightlyperturbedmax]

@vegetasrevenge age has nothing to do with it. Shrunken Heads and Rant were extremely mature albums too, and I liked them because the songs and production were more attractive to me. If I was too young, why would I like those albums?

[vegetasrevenge]

@slightlyperturbedmax I just don't get the Bon Jovi reference, kind of an insult.

It's good to have your opinion but you can't be serious in that kind of comparison.

Rock on!

[slightlyperturbedmax]

@vegetasrevenge Yeah, I see the production as Bon Jovi slick and the melodies the same sort of numbing arena rock at times. I hate to say it about one of Ian's albums, but that's just the way I see it I'm afraid. His voice is good on it though.

[MrRadioKing]

Cannot believe Hunter's now 71 yo.Looks and sounds as cool as ever.

[gguitarlizard]

Thanks!....

[BCK]

Great close-ups.

[pindowskivich]

Hunters voice sounds crisp. Taken care of it over the years.

[ejoe350]

Can be this good is unreal !!!

Great great video indeed !!!

[themoonupstairs]

Thanks for this. Was there on the Fri and Sat and they were awesome. Now I understand why Queen were only the warm up act back in the day.

[BaheidTommy]

I saw Queen back them up in Edinburgh in 1973 (?) and the ticket was 80p! Went back last Saturday and they were just as I remember them!!!! Brilliant!

Thanks for the posting.

[muddpup]

saw them on the 3rd the were fantastic

[nigelloflaveo]

Thanks for sharing this - a great clip. I was there that night and there was a lovely friendly atmosphere amongst the fans in the pubs and streets around the venue , especially along the river. I thought the band were amazing but the crowd a bit docile - i was hoping for a circa 71 stage invasion for "keep a knockin" but maybe a few hernias, gammy legs and bad backs precluded such an event !! [ mine included i hasten to add ]. Thanks again.

[janny108]

@nigelloflaveo LOL sounds funny but the way you described that night sounds lovely indeed!

[nigelloflaveo]

Thanks Janny - that's nice of you.

[esslar1]
