You brought back a lot of 1980 memories there Andy. My girlfriend of the time I remember plain as day her having Make It Real with that same pc which I think was the same as the album Animal Magnetism. Her brother buying her the Iron Maiden album in May 1980 for her birthday and her trip to see her idols Whitesnake at Reading 1980, the original and best Whitesnake line-up. Just needed a clip of Tommy Vance’s opening of The Friday Rock Show and I would’ve been firmly transported back 42 years.
Halcyon days.

Brilliant memories mate…Yep all my era. I was at Reading in 1980 as well and you are spot on with the Whitesnake line up…It was never the same with the big hair Anglo American super group they become. They lost that blues feeling and become like every other band at the time. I got the Love Hunter LP signed by the band when they were recording Saints n Sinners at Clearwell Castle which is not far from where I was living. Bernie Marsden signed it ‘all the breast Bernie’…Still
have it in my wall.

First Maiden LP just changed everything for me. It was fresh and like no other rock/ metal sound and LPnthat came before it. So influential.

They still do, saw them last month, voice going a bit now, and relied on backing singers a lot, still enjoyable though. I was at reading in 1980 too :)

Yes last time I saw them he just couldn’t really sing anymore but then he is getting on a bit. Reading 80/81/82 where all great events. Some many great bands back then.

I love the way Gilmour’s guitar plays and fades at the end on the single version of ABITW, sums up the end of the 70s. The rest of The Wall album is a bit pretentious sounding to me. Give me Breakfast In America any day

Indeed. I still love the track, but it is very much part of the album, if that makes sense. I still pretty regularly listen to other Floyd albums, and still find them utterly stunning.

They were the first live gig I ever went to (and the second) and things took a while to get back up to that bar. Managed to get Mrs C to see Gilmour in what was almost certainly his last ever live show as well.

They are a class act, just sometimes at my age I like a song to jog my memory and Breakfast In America had all them hits on it. If I hear ABITW I'm taken back to a pub on Newmarket High St called The Black Horse, now long gone but remember ABITW playing New Years Eve 1979.

Saw Supertramp in Hyde Park about years ago. They were good. Live in Paris fabulous as well, but Breakfast in America is stunning.
