Pragi Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) The Quos do remind of Slade , another totally underrated live band. Slade got great in 1980 when they were last-minute replacements for Black Sabbath at the Reading Rock Festival. The Sabbath fans have started to shout down there concert, but Slade keeps fighting and after 3 songs the crowd starts to listen and having fun.

I was there ☺️ Slade were brought in to replace Ozzy's Blizzard Of Oz, and apparently were quite hesitant about doing so. You are correct about their prowess as a live band - and Noddy had us eating out of his hand before long. He jokingly said it wasn't a 'request show' as so many people were shouting for them to play Merry Xmas Everybody, and followed that up, in his thick Brummie accent with, "Go on then - you lot f***** sing it!". And we did! (they even kept the crowd sing-a-long on the Slade Alive IV/Live at Reading 80 album). Great line-up that year for us (New Wave Of British) Heavy Metal fans. Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, UFO and a load of others, plus established rockers like Rory Gallagher, Ian Gillan, Gary Moore and (the simply wonderful) Whitesnake. And incidentally, I was a big Slade fan as a kid - Gudbuy 'T Jane was the first record I ever bought ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t think the assembly needed doping this way in the 70 and 80th. Edited June 10, 2020 by Pragi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 "Electric Boogie" - Marcia Griffiths You know how it goes, no need to post a video. It's the song that just won't die. Bunny Wailer who wrote this song said that it's about a woman's erotic vibrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
