MGM Part 3 (Bernie Marsden, Mel Galley & John Marter) at the 1987 Reading Rock Festival England.

Part 3 of 3. "Rough 'An Ready". 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?

Really good footage you have here. In what capacity were you there? And what equipment were you using? The sound is really good aswell.

No they didn't ,very short lived idea. Neil Murray was busy with Jap rockers Vow Wow at the same time(they also played Reading '87 here on you tube too). Mel Galley had an injury to hand
