    Probably the most respected band in rock. They are the real deal.
    Thanks for the clip. The media had been playing up the rivalry between the two bands leading up to the gig - I think members of the two bands indulged it a bit. Didn't Ed say that 'Powerage' was one of his fave albums at some point more recently?

    One thing I remember on that day was Gary Moore playing a lot of extended solos at the end of a lot of the tunes his band did. At the time I thought he was trying and outgun Eddie / feeling the heat from having to play before the more legendary guitarist. But, if you see the Hot For Teach segment, Ed is relaxed and playing like a demon.

    I remember dodging the bottles of piss and ... open cartons of yohgurt, which did fly through the air that day, along with a whole unsliced loaf of bread with a knife sticking in it, which hit my head with a thud at one point.

      One of the best damned shows I ever saw... with the one exception of the two 81 Oakland VH shows...
      Talk about a great time to be in Oakland. The Day on the Green in 78 and Fair Warning to boot. You experienced some history there.
      No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
