I remember seeing Meatloaf being hit by a plastic bottle, and then falling over. I also remember getting drenched for most of the day, until that is the very first few chords of "Knocking at Your back door" when Deep Purple took to the stage and the clouds parted.... and, then, finally, afterwards, spending the better part of an hour helping to push coaches out of mud.. so ours could get out of the field where they were parked. (We saw a tractor helping, but we shifted 3-4 before it arrived. It's amazing what true rock fans are capable of, I guess it's the neolithic way ;) )

Great podcast boys. Hope to hear some more tales about Gary Moore in the future!

i was there right in front of the stage all day

Long post here. Have a cup of tea! I bought a ticket for this then won two tickets with the local newspaper and two with the Daily Mirror. So I had 5 tickets. Mum agreed to take me and three friends down and she would go shopping in MK whilst we went to the gig. The Daily Mirror tickets came with VIP passes so a friend and I went to the backstage VIP area (aged 16 and 17) for some free Harp lager and some Harp Beat branded goodies like t shirts and badges. We watched all the bands. I remember really enjoying Magnum and Mamas Boys. I was looking forward to seeing Gary Moore but he seemed to be in a bit of a mood. I remember him making some dismissive comment when he played The Loner about “this song suiting today, considering the mood..” I bought a scarf, which I still have, the baseball shirt and the programme. I still have the programme too but I regret getting rid of the shirt. I thought MK Bowl was an excellent venue but this has been the only gig I’ve seen there. It was a bit of a dust bowl so when we eventually got home I had a bath and the water went brown!

I was too young to go this on my own but only lived a few miles away so my mum suggested she drive and we’d listen to Ozzy from the car park as we had done Marillion the year before. As you say, no real security so you could do that kind of thing. I did go and see Ozzy on tour the same year.

Incubus indeed is the greatest Marillion song of all time. In fact, let’s go the whole hog, it’s the greatest song of all time.

got a photo of gillan down the campsite after the gig ,was a magic sound ,glad i was there.

Great video guys! I was there too, was 16 and went with my older brother. I was about 4 rows from the front when GnR came on and I remember getting out by one of the security guards at the front barrier, was so crazy. I do remember turning around and looking out to the crowd and then pissing off around the side of the stage. Mental. Great line up

I've just realised that I had hair like Ritchie when I discovered Priest in the 70's. Now I have Rob's 😂 Time is a cruel concept with beautiful moments. Thank you gentlemen for making my time here more enjoyable and making so many of us happy. Truck on. 🤟😎👍🚛🚛🚛

Travelled from Bedford on United Counties Double Decker, the local bus company would supply tickets and travel. Brought 2 litre bottle of lemonade and would not let me in unless I cut off the top of the bottle, so walked round with a bottle with no screw cap on. Missed much of Mamas Boys set which was a disappointment as played Power and Passion alot, bored out my head watching Tull, remember sitting down, stupid as now grown to love them, Magnum passed me by as only had On A Story.... thought Gary Moore was excellent with Neil Carter, enjoyed Marillion but sort of passed me by, still have the programme, didn't buy a t shirt, as spending on vinyl was more important, although my friend with me brought gary moore which had flags of all different countries he had recently toured, great memories, great discussion

I think Mötley Crüe Shout at The Devil should be in the 12 classics

My 5th M.O.R. 80, 81, 83, 84 and 88. Those were all fantastic festivals. What happened during Guns' set was tragic, and fortunately, nothing like that has ever happened at any of the hundreds of other shows i must have been to 🙁

Believe or not I actually had a night on the town with Mr Pepsi Tate back 91 we went to Bradford Rio rocks to see one of his mates bands called The Suffragettez Wasn’t my scene But had a good time

I remember lager being £1.20 a pint and all us northerners were up in uproar!! Haha. I still have the red corduroy Marlbro cap that they were selling! An amazing gig that I'll never forget. Marillion were at their peak... a formidable live band.

I was there 🎸🤘🏻

I was there. It was a hot day but fantastic

Interesting chat, enjoyed that. Only a casual fan, so don't have the album, just got the obligatory copy of, Live & Dangerous along with Jailbreak & Johnny the Fox. So interesting to hear about some songs I am unaware of, and should probably go give a listen. In saying that my favourite Lizzy song is definitely on that album, that being, Waiting For An Alibi.

Hi Guys, lovely to hear about your halcyon days as 15 year old rampaging around Oxford and London gig. As an innocent 10 year old my introduction to Gary Moore was Out in the fields with Phil on That's what I call music 5 😂 I'll check out the victims album. Ps missed you guys at ACDC. I went to night 1. What a gig it was like a big 🥳

Hating the production on this Sounded like they were playing in a tin can

Loving these videos, especially as the Oxford Apollo was my local venue (Blackbird Leys boy!). Lets have your memories on the World Piece Tour 1983, my first Maiden gig, and in a twist of fate i've been Dave Murray's tech for the past 17 years....500+ gigs later! Keep up the good work!

I'm more disappointed that none of you remember one of the funniest things I've seen on a stage, and even Vivian has mentioned this.....at the top of the Oxford show Vivian runs out from under the archway playing the SUAS riff, and falls arse over tit on the monitors. Ronnie and Jimmy ran out and pissed themselves laughing.....Remember?

For me that´s the best Gary Moore album. Glenn sings really great on it.

Saw this tour at Hammersmith Lynott came out for the encore, not looking to well, but the crowd loved it. Gary was awesome.

As far as I'm concerned, Black Rose is the band's musical peak. What an album. Killer production, hooks galore and the Moore/Gorham duo in full flight. It just doesn't get any better.

It's interesting to hear that Jammo's reason for not being so keen on this album are the same reasons I love it so much. Some of my favourite albums, and this is one of them, have a mix of different producers, singers, writers and band line ups. And because I listened to a lot of synth Pop when I was growing up I also like Listen to your heartbeat. Anyway, good work again gang!

Went to see this tour at the oxford apollo

Run For Cover has some great tracks but with three different lead singers, inevitably it lacked focus to some extent. It’s almost like a compilation album, imho. But Phil Lynott and Glenn Hughes - Gary certainly knew how to pick them(!) What a guitarist. He was very special. Still much missed. Really enjoyed your show and tell - cheers chaps 👍

Hi. Saw this tour at the Manchester Apollo. Phil Lynott came out for the encore. Out in the fields and Parisienne Walkways. Fantastic show!

Saw Gary Moore on the Run for cover tour in Ipswich. Think I have seen FM 3 times as support band. Think they supported Bon Jovi and Magnum as well.

Great episode, i love this album and tour

Out in the Fields was my introduction to both Gary and Phil. Being a kid nearing ten it had no appeal to me but my parents liked it, because they knew of Thin Lizzy. Nearly forty years on, I think it's a classic track, a great document about the Troubles. RIP Phil and Gary.

This was a wonderful day, I had the t-shirt with the kid on it sat in front of the marquee. Also I believe that Gary Moore was not meant to be on the bill, it was meannt to be possibly THE first or one of the first gigs for the reformed Thin Lizzy after Gary and Phil had hooked up a year earlier, they were just about to get back together as Lizzy when Phil passed away, now being as things are each member of a band will sign a contract to appear individually even as a band and so when Phil died Gary was still contracted to appear and out of repect he decided to appear as a solo artist rather than using the Thin Lizzy moniker. How true that is I can't say, but that was believed to be the truth back at that time and although it was great to see Gary Moore live I feel that I was gutted that I never got to see Lizzy live who were at that time one of my top favourite bands whom I was just a little too young to have seen them the first time around, at this Garden Party I would have been 17 years old and just shy of 18 by about 6 weeks. The Marlboro Biplanes during the Tull set were for me at least a particular highlight of the day, we travelled down from Liverpool on a coach so we didn't get home until the wee small hours. "Those were the days my friends"!

That was mine and my twin brothers 19th birthday 🎂 at MOR 1988, 15 of us got the coach from outside the royal court theatre in Liverpool. It was a party 🎉 before we even got on the coach. What a day that was. The crushing was crazy mad, it was that tight down the front for GNR I could hardly put my hand on my chest to push the person in front of me an inch to take a breath. Sad about the deaths, I remember the video screen on the left coming down. It was not as bad for crushing in 87

Great to see you guys paying tribute to the greatest Irish band of all time BAR NONE! Amazing album and the tour video of this line up on the steps of Sydney Opera House which can be found on RUclips will blow your mind. I grew up on Lizzy and my fave album will always be Live & Dangerous which will clearly be #1 when you do your live album pod! I once asked a true rock insider, who worked with almost every single band you mention on your pod, who were the “most outrageous rockstars?” He looked toward the ground, paused for a second, shook his head and said, “Thin Lizzy,” whatever you’ve heard, nobody came close to them…

Hi Guys, in advance of the big show at Wembley tomorrow night I've been watching this vid to warm up! Cracking album , I have the red embossed vinyl version. War machine would be cool to hear tomorrow night! ⚡

Great appreciation of Black Rose! My favourite Thin Lizzy studio album. I’d add something about “With Love” - 💯 meant for Phil’s solo album. Jimmy Bain on bass. Then due to be released as a Lizzy single but wasn’t - the promo video is on RUclips. One of Gary’s most restrained guitar solos - almost sounds like something Scott Gorham would have done 🎸

Hi chaps, your viddy was on my recommended's. With just a lefty on the mouse I was thoroughly entertained, lucky me. A new sub for you. Great job. I am looking forward to the next one, cheers. Gary

Meat loaf had a broken leg and wasn't popular

I was there still have the tee shirt doesn't fit now lol

Gary solo on toughest street 😮💥🔥💥🔥💥

Great day travelled from Inverness overnight to get down there

Hi guys, great to see Thin Lizzy getting a dedicated show! Huge fan. My favourite tracks are Got to give it up and Roisin Dubh. Overall favourite Lizzy albums in no particular order are Vagabonds, Fighting, Chinatown, Self titled first album, Johnny the fox, Renegade. Great stuff again guys!

Another fantastic show - what an album !. I was 14 when this came out in April `79 & had to wait until June to buy it as you can buy everything that comes out instantly on pocket money. I taped it off on of my mates until I had the cash for it,£ 2:50 at the local record store called "The Music Shop", It`s my favourite Lizzy album to this day. Here`s my top five; 1. Black Rose, 2. Do Anything You Want to, 3. toughest Street In Town, 4. Waiting For An Alibi, 5. Got To Give It Up. A little bit of extra info on the album, Jimmy Bain played bass on With Love & Huey Lewis (& The News) played harmonica on Sarah & With Love. I only got to see Thin Lizzy once with Phil, at Reading in 1983. You lot were really lucky to have met him& had such a positive & memorable experience, he always came across in interviews as a humble likeable guy. All the best, looking forward to the next episode. 🤘🐑🎸🍺

Sarah, about Phil's baby daughter and Got to Give it Up about his addiction - the cruel irony. Though I didn't grow up with Thin Lizzy, it's been a privilege getting the albums and enjoy them. But as much as I liked Black Rose, I can't say the same for China Town - the downfall began there and then. Another great episode.

Duuuude! This party I was at before you lol. Saw them at Sonisphere Madrid in 2012. Was actually side of stage standing beside James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich who were massive fans. That’s another story! Their first album was brilliant but the second one wasn’t. Never really got back on to them, partly due to the singer throwing the rest of the band under the bus, which just gives me bad vibes. Still the live experience is undeniably awesome.

They only played 4 of ‘em…. 😂😂😂 more “slightly refreshed” reviews lads. BRILLIANT!

I was late to the Ghost party too, also in 2022. It was 'Call Me Little Sunshine', too, that captured me from first listen: my cousin wanted me to play on his album and played it to me as an example of guitar tone (we never did do the album!). I have even covered CMLS now. Ghost's catalogue is astonishing. As an old rocker (I'm 64), I had given up being a true fan of anyone ever again. Just the occasional lover of this and that. Not anymore, I'm officially hooked to this band, act, project, whatever you want to call it. On the album, I had a similar ambivalent opinion about Twenties as Jammo, but I am coming round to it. I totally love Darkness. I love its mood. Its duality. Its melancholy. I agree on all other points. Impera is just wonderful. Also... I just recently had the most amazing experience. I went to the premiere cinema in London on Tuesday (18 June), where they were showing the new Ghost movie 'Rite Here Rite Now' before its official release today. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Tobias Forge or Alex Ross Perry, (director) and was put onto a fan list, I wasn't sure what for. Somehow, and I'm still reeling from this, I got a free ticket to the film premiere itself, and I saw the film with 31 other gobsmacked fans (as well as the usual press, etc.). I also attended the Q&A session afterwards. I can promise you, it's a truly *stunning* film. I think Tobias is a genius. Subscribed

Hi Saxon George here thanks for the mention. It was great to chat with you . Totally agree with you about the Merch at Wembley Q absolutely ridiculous, saw slayer farewell tour, and missed half of lamb of gods set ,didn't bother trying to get a T shirt for the scorpions but in hind sight I could have Q after the first too tracks of extremes set 😂😂😂. BTW sounds a lot 😉

1980 one of my favorite years as a young Metal Head i was 14 in 1980 i was obsessed with the Great Bands from the NWOBHM movement and other great hard rock bands as well Sabbath Saxon Priest Def Leppard Maiden UFO MSG Rush BOC Diamond Head Motorhead Scorpions Budgie ACDC VH Mahogany Rush Thin Lizzy

Had to laugh at the comment about them playing too late. That's when you know you're getting old 😂
