First time I saw Janick Gers was on this tour. I thought it would be tough to replace Bernie Torment, but he was astonishing, non stop movement and innovation
I was there at the Southampton Concert, my first Rock concert... It has never left me the experience.. With Scorpions as the support band.. Absolutely Brilliant night...
Southampton Dash Cam Man Hi, not being confrontational but I was there too and The Scorpions most definitely did not support that night. If my memory serves me correctly the support act was Budgie. Great recording though, brought back some great memories. Thanks for posting.👍
paul cruse I think you should have been answering to Southampton Dash Cam Man and I think you are correct, Spider did support but I can’t remember if it was the Mr Universe tour or future Shock tour. I saw both and one of them Budgie was the support, I just can’t remember which!
SabuPtolemy Thank you and I agree, at that time the Scorpions would have definitely headlined. I saw both tours, just couldn’t remember which was which.👍
@@nicholasconnolly8141 Spider supported the following year for the Magic tour. If my nearly 40 year memory of the event serves right, I think Gillan had dancers in a cage, and the seat cushions got tossed around the theatre!
Saw the Magic tour at Aberdeen Capitol theatre in 1982 and never forget Born to Kill Gillan on the bongos and female backing singer/dancers come wearing bear skins Well almost wearing them. Apparently they got locked in their dressing room when the show was at the Hammersmith oden if I remember correctly. It was 39 yrs ago 😳
Paul Crus I’m such a dick! I just read the drop down comments, The tour was Double trouble which means I actually saw them 3 times in Southampton. I just remembered who supported them on the Mr Universe tour, it was the Broughtons!

Man, Gillians solo stuff was so underrated.

Bernie Torme r.i.p 🎸🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊
At this time their guitarist was Janick Gers.
Excellent comme toujours. incomparable Gillan !
Thanks a lot! Real gem of a version.

I worked the spot on a couple of gigs on this tour. Poole and one other. Shame that Bernie had left by this time.
