Part 1 of 3. "Abuser". MGM was Bernie Marsden (Guitar), Mel Galley (Guitar) & John Marter (Drums) with Neil Murray (Bass) & John Saxon (Vocals). Bernie, Neil & Mel where all former Whitesnake members. This rare footage was filmed from the side of the stage. The 1987 Reading Rock Festival was a great weekend with lovely weather and some great bands. Also playing were Status Quo, Georgia Satellites, Magnum and Alice Cooper. Various Comic Strip stars turn up as Bad News (HEY HEY BAD NEWS!!) - Superb. Anyone else there remember this brilliant weekend?

  • @iceonaboy Haha that's so weird i should find this. I was also at this gig in 1987 and one of the stories I remember telling people from that day was the plastic bottle of beer landing on the fretboard of the guitarist in the middle of his solo. I've told that story many a time and now I know who threw it!! Good on ya mate, your actions were the souce of much amusement to many I;m sure.

  • This gives me a chance to apologise for an act of madness. I was at this gig and being of unsound mind and under the influence of Don Cortez and lager, did throw a plastic bottle at Mr Marsden and unbelievably, considering my state, did hit his fret board during a particularly hot solo, thus ruining said solo. I am truly sorry Bernie. I WAS enjoying it and dont know what came over me. I was just a young fool and have had to live with the shame ever since, sleepless nights, broken marriage, sob!

  • Really bad vocals!!

  • I still feel bad about it Bernie. The worst part is, I was loving the set. I was young and pished out my face and it seemed a good idea at the time. I never actually expected it to connect. I am truly sorry. By fuck, we had a great weekend right enough. Thats when festivals were great, when there was two stages and you didnt miss anyone ( no pun intended)

  • Wow just came across this looking for Magnum footage. Fantastic ! I was there near the front to Bernies right if i remember correctly.

  • Thanks for that rare video! Bernie, Galley and Murray!!!
