I was in a band called knightflight in the early eighties and we supprted Tobruk, Briar, Shy and Trouble. left that area and life a long time ago - never thought I would hear of Tobruk again- did'nt know that snake was dead! Eddy Fincher was the drummer in Tobruk - lived in the same road as me - any idea what happen to him?

[BRIAR85]

[BRIAR85]

yes there were m8 i know you supported them m8 at the powerhouse that was theonly time i saw them.

The name of the 1st song is "Breakdown". The 2nd one is called "Falling". Both are from the awesome "Wild On The Run" record.

Keep On Rockin'!

[Heartmedia1]

As good as it gets for the genre.

Strange that similar bands like Bon Jovi made it so much bigger.

Great anyway.

[NitroB70]

Oh so nearly big... Shame Snake,Mick and the guys were great

[MAGNUM2F]

saw these lads a couple of times, loved their Debut LP so much, 'going down for the 3rd time was simply stunning...'

Amazing band, Wild on the Run has been one of my favourite albums for 20 years or something! Like others said, can't believe they never made it big. I would lend "WOTR" to "pop music fan" friends at school and they would inevitably be totally converted!- killer songs and playing on that album and yes, brilliant production too. I thought his voice sounded fantastic on that record and I'm really surprised to hear he sounds just the as good live!!

Eddie Fincher the drummer wander what ever happened to him? I used to go out with him

[laticsdave]

Awesome vid of an awesome band. Wild on the run was one of my favourite lps of the 80', and I don't care for the Jam Bun Hovis type bands - Tobruk had a much harder edge. Saw them at the Richmond Hotel in Brighton during freshers week at Brighton Poly in '84 (the support was Onslaught). They were superb, great songs performed by a band that should have been huge - the synchro guitar twirling was excellent. The barbed wire explorers were made by Jay Dee I believe

RIP Snake :(
